"So, this is how it all began: The MetaX7 was actually called here by one of the visitors. They told them that an obnoxious smell was rising from the river. So, the team decided to check what was causing this smell to arise, wondering if it was a dead aquatic animal which is causing the smell. To their surprise, they found five bodies under water. three of them seemed as if they were weeks old because half of their skin was peeling off and some it was nibbled by sea lice and other creatures, the other two seemed to be recent; though their skin was numb but it wasn't nibbled off or peeling off. The team was under shock and they immediately called the police officers who had those bodies taken out of the river. Media arrived, making a fuss and people gathered to see what was going on over here. The forest was immediately sealed and the people were sent home and the police called our detective agency for finding answers. this case was handed over to me as the other detectives were already busy. When I came over here, obviously the media had this forest surrounded, the entrance was sealed with police tape. One of the officers greeted me and took me to the crime scene. I observed the five bodies; they were all male genders, it was hard to tell if they were dressed in new or old clothes because the dress they wore was covered with patches of rotten fabric, the color was also faded. There was chance that this happened because they had been underwater for a long time.

Three of the bodies were horribly nibbled and were barley identifiable, the papers found in their suits were all wet, their inks had faded and thus no evidence could be collected through their pockets. Though, one thing I noticed common in all of them was that their face color was a little red, like their allergies had been triggered before they died. No one had any idea who they were, among us detectives and officers. Their faces were way too mangled up to identify who they were anyways, so, I sent them off to our Forensics lab so that I could get some lead. Dr. Michael, that is our Forensics expert, took a look at their nibbled bodies and at last concluded in giving us the identifications of the five victims.

From their I found out their names, the first three were called Jones, Stephan and Henry. These three were killed first and the other two, whose face was a little identifiable were called James and Jarred. Now I had to go meet their families but first I needed to figure out more about their bodies and how they were killed. Dr. Michael gave me his report twelve hours after submission. He concluded to me that he still hadn't figured out how the five died but he did figure out that the five of them were all blind, suffering with some kind of eye diseases. He said that they either committed suicide or where murdered. I stated that a river is a very unlikely place to commit suicide so it has to be a murder. Then I collected some personal details like about their families and where they lived. I am not going to tell you the whole long story, I'll just make it short.

Each family stated that the victims were on a business trip and tomorrow they had to return; we found the bodies on Monday (May 1), I visited the families of Tuesday so they had to return on Wednesday (May 3). They said that the victims had no enemies and weren't worried or distressed the last time they had seen them. They also told me that they didn't identify the other victims, thus the victims weren't close friends otherwise their families would know. They also told me that the victims were all suffering from eye disorder and three of them were blind but, I also learned that all five of them had great brain potentials and were highly intelligent; more then normally people are. I asked them about the victims jobs but all the families stated that the victims did no job but recently they had been called up by a company. Surprisingly, the families had no idea of the name of the company. Since then I have been trying to figure out a way to find out for which company they worked for."

I completed my story. I was sitting in the car, Matt was driving it next to me. we were headed to the Jones' house. The car was driving swiftly on the road.

"Tell me one thing Miss Allison" He said, eyes on the road

"Yes? and call me Allison please" I told him
