Signed K

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Revelations

A week had passed since the devastating loss of Sarah, and the precinct bore witness to the toll it had taken on Alex. His usual composed demeanor was replaced with a disheveled appearance, dark circles under his eyes betraying the sleepless nights and relentless pursuit of answers.

In the dimly lit confines of the precinct, Alex sat hunched over the computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he delved into the depths of Kelvin's past. The screen flickered to life, revealing a crucial piece of information that could unravel the mysteries surrounding their elusive suspect.

Kelvin Jones. His mother's name - Corina Jones. The pieces of the puzzle were starting to fall into place, and Alex was on the brink of uncovering the dark secrets that lay hidden in Kelvin's past. With a grim determination, he prepared to delve deeper into the tangled web of lies and deceit that had shrouded their investigation.

Just as he was about to dig further into Kelvin's history, his phone shattered the tense silence, jolting him from his thoughts. It was one of the crime scene investigators who had been combing through the evidence in the basement where Sarah had met her tragic end.

The world around Alex seemed to blur and spin as he listened to the investigator's words, each revelation striking like a hammer blow to his already fractured resolve. Evidence of multiple murders had been unearthed in the dark confines of the basement, each victim's DNA confirming their grim fate within those walls. This could mean Kelvin's death toll could be much higher than they thought.

But the final blow came with a devastating force - Claire's DNA had been found among the evidence, and she was now presumed deceased. The realization hit Alex like a physical blow, the weight of loss and guilt crushing him under its unbearable burden.

Speechless and reeling from the shock of the revelation, Alex struggled to find his voice. "How... how is this possible?" he whispered, the words barely escaping his lips as he grappled with the harrowing truth that Claire, too, had fallen victim to Kelvin's twisted machinations.

The room seemed to close in around him, the air heavy with the weight of grief and despair. The knowledge that Kelvin had been in the house mere hours before their arrival sent a chill down Alex's spine, a stark reminder of the danger that lurked in the shadows.

As the reality of the situation sank in, a steely resolve ignited within Alex, a flame of determination burning bright amidst the darkness that threatened to consume him. The hunt for Kelvin had taken a sinister turn, and the stakes had never been higher. With a renewed sense of purpose, Alex vowed to bring justice to the victims, to honor Sarah and Claire's memory, and to ensure that Kelvin would face the full force of the law for his heinous crimes.
