Bible

8:00 P.M.

“EVERYONE deserves a fine dinner after drowning in a load of work.” Then a paper bag from a fine dining restaurant was placed on my table in front of me.

I lifted up my head to Davon, who was now smirking at me as he sat on his seat. “It’s my treat,” then he added, followed by his wink.

“Thanks,” I just said and put the bag on the side and took back my gaze at my computer screen. I will eat that later.

“You should eat first, Detective,” I heard Davon say, as he started digging on his food. “Build won’t be happy if you starve yourself.” I don’t see his face, but I know he’s smirking. He always does that whenever Build’s name is mentioned. I just mentally shook my head.

“Later. I’m not hungry,” I replied without leaving the screen of my computer. I have to find ways to find Build’s location as soon as I can. He’s so good at hiding though. We couldn’t find a lead to his whereabouts.

We have contacted all of his friends, but none of them know where Build might be. We have tried to find him for all the places he might head for, but no sign of Build in all of those places. I have tried and tried contacting him, but his phone is always off. He really doesn’t want me to find him. And this is frustrating and stressing me out.

I’m so worried about him. I want to see him and make sure that he is safe and alright. I want to talk to him and hear him tell me that he’s okay. But I couldn’t do anything because I couldn’t find him.

Where are you really now, Build? I’m so worried. Why are you torturing me like this? Please, at least contact me. At least call me.

“Build will be alright. He had been fighting to survive before we met him. He’s brave and strong. Maybe you just have to trust him and focus on finding the guy who hurt him,” Davon stated, which made me turn my head towards him. “That man was still free walking around the city, might be planning to hurt Build again.”

I breathed out and laid my back on my seat. Davon’s right. We have to focus on finding that man. He might be planning to hurt Build again right now. There’s no way that man would not find out that Build survived once again from that deadly weapon.

And if that man was really the Fifth Digit Slayer, the FDS case would soon be solved.

We have already gathered enough information about that man. His name was Jericho Wong. Thirty-two years of age. Residing in Malaria, Hallony. A father of two. No wife. He has been constantly in and out of the precinct for doing different illegal stuff. Theft, illegal gambling, selling illegal drugs, etc.

And now attempted murder.

But when we went to Malaria yesterday and visited his house, he was nowhere to be found. As expected. A criminal tends to hide after doing their crimes.

But we were able to talk to his child. He has two children: one fifteen-year-old boy, and one ten-year-old girl. And they are both aware of their father’s illegal deeds. But they have no idea where their father’s whereabouts are.

We tried gathering more information about Jericho Wong through his child. But they only knew about their father doing illegal deeds, but they had no idea how their father worked. They are even shocked after knowing their father tried to kill someone.
