THE DEVIL'S AWAKENING

MIKE

"The greatest mystery is the human mind, capable of both the most beautiful and heinous acts "

I am  not lying when I say that I am stumped. The body ,... I.....I have no words to describe it. Its clean. Like woundless, scratchless. Cleaner than the normal human body.

Its like a new born baby , fresh from the womb. If this body was actually on his bed at home, people would just think that he was asleep. That's how healthy the body looks.

But in reality, the body has been mutilated in the worst way possible and put back together. The eyelids are closed. When we open them, the eyes are not there. Its like the killer has gouged out the eyes using pliers. 

The mouth is sealed shut. But when opened it seems that his teeth were plucked off and the tongue has been chopped off.

His fingers have been cut off and temporarily stitched back. 

And with all this , the worst part is yet to come.

On his entire body, the skin looks intact, uscathed. But when the the skin is actually penetrated and opened, the inside of the body is also clean, unscathed.

Like literally clean of muscles and blood. Only the bones remain. Each and every chunk of muscle has been scraped out and every single drop of blood has been cleaned. Not a drop is seen anywhere inside the body. 

On top of all of this, there carved on his skull in big bold letters was

"THE HUMAN BUTCHER"

True to his name, he has excelled in job. The body is spotless, clueless and pristine. Not a single thing could be deduced from this body, except for the obvious fact that the murderer's name is "THE HUMAN BUTCHER".

The most mystifying question is "HOW ?"

How could he literally cut open the skin , indiscreetly scoop out the insides and patch it back. This was preposterous. No human , however qualified and experienced he was cannot achieve that.

The last 2 bodies were also slaughtered cruelly in the same way.

Another conclusion I am able to make out is that the killer, he is giving a message.

I think he is trying to prove that "PEOPLE ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE"

Because the body was completely not as beautiful as it appeared to be. But I could also be delusional.

As far as the three bodies are concerned, none of them have never met each other, whatsoever. Hell they don't even know that the other person exists.

The first person was a minor, a young boy of age about 22 years. According to reports, he was currently in college and was clean of any criminal relations.

The second person was a married man aged about 30 years. According to report, he was a normal guy, working in an IT company from 9 to 5. No criminal evidenced against him were found either.

Lastly , the last person was a man aged about 45 who owned a small cafe. He was having  little amount of profit. His wife had died 3 years ago in a car accident. And again, the guy was clean. No criminal evidences have been found.

Its like the murderer was just randomly kidnapping people and torturing them for fun. But if was anything like that, then he could have left the person all bloody and scarred. 

Instead he had kept the body unscathed.

The crazier fact is that where could he dispose off the meat and blood of three fully grown humans. The TSSA squad search parties of skillful dogs and professionals couldn't find a clue about where the killer had dumped all those body parts.

They have come to a conclusion that, either he is a cannibal and eats the meat or he feeds it to animals.

There aren't many animals or forests in New York city. He couldn't possibly have fed it to any animals.

The doubt still remains, whether he is doing all of this with a reason or for fun. Another perplexing question is whether it is a "he" or "they".

For the first time in my life, I am bewildered. Dumbfounded. Baffled.

I don't know how to make head or tail of all of this. This whole thing is nuts.

I am still examining the body when I found a note, tucked in beside his skull. It was a message. I found a freaking message in the skull. My man keeps surprising me. 

It stated that , 

"Mike Andras Dexter. Renowned detective and investigator. I know the TSSA has called you in for the case of "THE HUMAN BUTCHER". And I know for a fact that even you are puzzled by my peculiar way of killing. I admire you very much, dear " God of Justice". And playing this game of cat and mouse with you would be an honour for me. So let me give you a headstart. If you had found this letter sooner, you would have already caught me. But I that all of you would only concentrate on why I have killed him, instead of pondering over whom I would kill next. 

So my next victim is Joseph Garcia, aged 40, small town businessman  who owns a jewellery shop. His wife left him for another guy 15 years ago and his daughter died of kidney failure 2 years ago.  I challenge you, Dexter. Find your man, protect him and catch me if you can!!!!!!! "

I give it to him, the killer is exceptionally smart. I would be  honoured too Mr. Butcher, to play this game with you. 

John go and find Mr. Hawks. Tell him that I am ready to lead this  operation. I need the best team of qualified snipers, professional scientists, spies and soldiers. I need eyes on Joseph Garcia and every speck of information you can find on him. Not only legal ways, find his connections and relations from birth. I need to crack this. 

Be ready Mr. Butcher...........you have challenged the wrong person.
