Clash of the Titans

Chapter 4: Nothing It Seems To Be

New York was the biggest city in the United States of America. American dream meant to be the country of all possibilities. Since La Bête, with his pack returned to Beacon Hills, did not exist a day in New York without three crimes each day. Liam and Gabe stayed in New York at the orders of La Bête. They knew this was not something normal. The victims were teenagers with genetic mutations. Also, existed sacrificed people. The chief of the NYPD, Tess Vargas, and her partner Catherine Keller tried finding more clues. JT, the boyfriend of Tess, and Vincent, the husband of Catherine helped them too.

"The situation went mad" lamented Vincent and tried to understand what happened. "Don't exist a day to be without three deceased people."

"We can focus on dead teenagers?" asked JT sand showed their medical situation. "The sacrificed people don't seem to represent a problem for me."

"You are sure the Muirfield or Julianna end?" wondered Tess and looked at the results.

"You remember Gabe?" asked Catherine and marked some notes. "The first generation of beasts represented teenagers. Juliana didn't make such genetic mutations."

"Vincent, you killed Li Zhao," said Tess worried.

"True," confirmed Vincent scratching his head.

"In fourteen days died almost thirty teenagers," said Catherine saying the data. "JT, can you discover more about that strange substance?"

"No," replied JT, and analyzed better. "Is changed mercury."

"Vincent, could you please look at the crime scenes on the computer?" wondered Tess and gave him access to the base.

"Wait to finish the cereals," said Vincent and ate them. "Let's take step by step the situation."

"In the begging, somebody creates them," said Catherine.

"Victims were already dead before to arrive at the hospital," resumed JT the idea.

"Or alive in the lucky case," continued Catherine with regret. "Also, they bleed mercury, and the patient run."

"Why the killer keeps a device what generates magnetic waves," asked Tess knowing that was the clue.

"Yes," confirmed Catherine.

"After the magnetic waves stop, we find the teenager dead. No witness," concluded Vincent and hit the table.

"You think is the same person, Vincent?" questioned Tess because she noticed it had a hunch.

"Yes," confirmed Vincent. "I can't track him. He uses some chemicals that block my sense.,"

"After the death, the body reaches morgue," said JT.

"Someone steals the body," continued Catherine with disappointment.

"I can smell smoke," said Vincent and thought from where it came. "You recall the arsonist?"

"I have an uncomfortable feeling about this," said JT and saw her. "It is your sister, Heather."

"What it is with an elongated face at everybody?" queried Heather worried.

"Somebody creates beasts," shared Catherine and showed the papers. "They bleed mercury, and we find them dead or alive."

"We transport them to the hospital. Someone slays them," added Vincent and hit the table. "We don't have a clue."

"Why the crates them?" wondered Heather and paused.

"We try discovering," responded JT almost losing hope.
