There was a long ding dong sound which came from beyond outside the fenestella. It was the
sound of a long tower ticking to the time when birds started their daily sonata. To these sounds I
awoke. I am an investigator, Turner, the son of the most recent infamous murderer of our time.
Today I started another day of cat and mouse with my father but slightly different from the usual
bringing.
My most normal days which I had always conveyed consisted of waking up, putting on my
badge and taking a protein and energy booster on the side with high caffeinated coffee. Which I
followed with a long day of deciphering my father's murders, and finding out where he is hiding with
the usage of his murderous acts. After a long complication of interpreting helpful evidence to
educated and calculated assumptions, I go to the hospital to speak with my mother who is terribly ill
with late stage three stomach cancer. I did the first half of my daily routine except the afternoon ritual
because this day is the day history changed. I had caught him.
Once I got in my car I took a glance at the evidence from one of the most recent murders that
he exerted and compared it to the others. His killing method was rather notorious and overly
complicated for a fifty-year old. He started with electrocuting the body then suffocates the
person. He then carves out the bodies, digging out all the bones and internal organs and
lays out the bones and internal organs where they are made to be. However, the skin was not
seen anywhere. The body (rather the bones, ect.) was laid in the middle with a desk directly
behind the body with a pen pointing forward in the middle, and there was a piece of a paper under
the heart which looked it had wavy drawings on it. "There is something different about this one," I
thought as I gestured to the newest murder. Frustrated with misdirection, I started my car and drove
to my local Police office. Once I got inside the building, I was stopped by my partner, investigator
Shelie. Shelie inquired me to come follow her to our office. "He did it again," she stated as we fast
walked. My eyes widened when I saw the body familiar to the ones before. "I see it now!" I said as I
gather all the other evidence out and set it all aligned together. Every single time there was a murder
there was a desk, pen, and paper under the heart. The difference was the drawings under the heart,
the color of the pens and each of the victims health, and the heart was moved to the middle of the
bloodied bones of what used to be the living. I clipped the pictures of information to the crowded
evidence board and pointed out the drawings and the other differences as well. The drawings put
together made up a map. Each of them were different pieces to a map each under the heart in the
center of the chest. The center! He was in the heart, the center of the state! This is all too brilliant. In a
matter of seconds we gathered a dispatch to group at this location.
