Chapter Forty-One: The Hunt For Kelvin

As the psychologist arranged for Harry to be held on a psych hold, the hope lingered that this strategic move would somehow lead to unraveling the truth about Kelvin's whereabouts. In the midst of this pivotal decision, Pete and Alex pressed on with their investigation, focusing on churches in the area as potential leads in their pursuit of Kelvin.

"It has to be an unused church," Pete asserted, his tone filled with conviction. The notion that Kelvin would operate from a place where he could go unnoticed resonated with the detectives as they delved deeper into their search for clues. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on their shoulders, each step bringing them closer to the elusive Kelvin.

Amidst their research, a breakthrough emerged - there were three unused churches in the vicinity, with one located at the end of the road where Kelvin and Harry's childhood home stood. Alex's intuition kicked in, a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins as he declared, "We go there first, it has to be that one." The pieces of the puzzle were aligning, leading them towards a potential showdown with Kelvin.

With a sense of urgency, Pete and Alex prepared for the impending confrontation. Donning their bulletproof vests, the tangible sense of danger heightened their senses, fueling their determination to bring Kelvin to justice. The air crackled with tension as they geared up, their resolve unwavering in the face of uncertainty.

"Do we need backup?" Pete inquired, his concern evident in his voice. Alex's response was resolute, "No, he's all mine." Pete's gaze lingered on Alex, a mixture of admiration and apprehension flickering in his eyes. The magnitude of Kelvin's crimes, the lives he had taken, and the intelligence that outmatched even the most seasoned detectives loomed large in their minds.

As they embarked on the journey towards the abandoned church, a myriad of emotions swirled within the confines of the car. Alex's determination was tempered with a simmering anger, a desire for closure driving him forward. Pete, on the other hand, felt a sense of duty and camaraderie towards his partner, understanding the personal vendetta that fueled Alex's pursuit of Kelvin.

The tension in the car was palpable, the silence punctuated by the rhythmic hum of the engine. Each passing moment brought them closer to the unknown, the anticipation building with every mile they covered. The weight of their mission hung heavy in the air, a mix of fear and anticipation swirling around them like a storm on the horizon.

As they finally pulled up to the abandoned church, the scene before them was shrouded in an eerie silence. The dilapidated facade loomed ominously, casting long shadows in the fading light of day. The sense of foreboding was palpable, a silent warning that they were about to confront the darkness that lurked within.
