When Brad came he was given a picture and he sat down studying it....He also studied Sergeant Black's face then he took two papers and began to draw.
He has been drawing for two hours Alpha said.
I'm done...the sketches needed a bit more time but this one is how Mr Black looked when he was maybe seven years old or eight.And the dude in the hoodie should look like that if I had more time I would have perfected his face Brad said.
Everyone was stunned as they all looked at the picture.
How is this possible Lieutenant Dan asked.
I'm an artist.. it's my job to make the impossible possible..Now that I've identified your suspect can I go. I'm a busy man Brad said.
That wasn't the suspect...it was a police officer...we were testing you Christopher said.
You.... Bubba tell this people how much I hate being tested Brad said.
I'm sorry they didn't believe anything I said..look we are investigating a case that is bigger than us and we need help....We got a picture of Ghost and we need your help.. Can you try to sketch him please Trekker said.
