Taken Back

Driven

I examined the body...Pam was working on another body. "It looks like there is a scar here...like a symbol!" She comes to me with a blood knife and her glasses on and examined the scar. "I think that's a witchcraft symbol. My mom used to do that until she died of a heart attack." I touched the scar and felt the lumps. "I think this is why he died, but I don't know for sure."

The doc walked in and had papers. "Well I got more results... I traced 'Miguel' and found his mom. Go to Pine Lake City 1882 West coast and ask her about it. She was with him last night for 3 hours. Looks like she knows something! Go there now and question her...call me when you get data!"

I drove to the trailer and got out to see weeds and dog poop all over. I knocked on the screen door and heard a dog bark. I saw a woman walk to me. She was old and wore a nice top that said 'I'm Irish' she coughed, "What do you want?" I took off my glasses. And showed her my badge. "I'm officer Amber Kunal I'm here to investigate the robbery and the murders of Jade and her youngest son. Know about that?" She sighed. "I don't know anything! I haven't seen my son in 4 years! He never sees me!" I showed her the picture. "According to a worker, you was with him last night!" She coughed like she was dying or choking a hair ball. "Alright I talked to him. But he only mentioned that he is in trouble but I told him I don't want anything to do with it. He handed me a packet and it mentioned that he is planning to run for it and never turn back. But I told him that I don't have time for his troubles. Come in so we can talk more!" I walked in and saw a dog so big that I felt scared. Things were all over. Soda cans was on tables and food piled up in kitchen counter. No tv no radio. I sat down on the couch. I asked her, "do you know Tex your sons friend?" She puckered. "Yes but they was never around me. They always went to the park or went to his house. I only got one cop come to me saying my son and Tex stole a bike. I told my son to not be around Tex but he never cared." I wrote down the info. "What is your sons name?" She laughed. "Well u changed his name, his name is Adamis Flores the 2. But he was getting into too much chaos we changed it to Miguel Flores." I sighed. "Why change his name? He should've faced his crimes." She sat back and coughed. "My son kept running away. Everytime he came home I would ask what he did, he avoided answering...I didn't know why. I would try to go out with him for lunch and he always said they would get him and make him go...at first I thought it was his way of saying he is embarrassed of me, but after a while, I then got the call and was told about his stealing. My son stole my money and signed a card that looked like I signed it and changed his name. Once I found that out, I couldn't go back. He had already left, things of his gone...his pictures are still here but everything else is gone." I wrote more down. "Could I see the pictures?" She got up. "Yes. It's all in my journal." She showed me the journal and I saw the boy and the mom. But I saw an even stranger man..."Who is this?" She smiled. "Oh, that is Miguel's daddy. He ran off with my cousin when Miguel was only 2. He never came back. Calvin was a good man, but he always robbed bank and said he needed money to pay for my needs. Officers found out that he was lyin so he could pay for his drugs. He demanded money and pulled out gun and stole a million dollars. Then he killed my cousin and their son...then he ran off...he was found dead 3 years later!"

Wait that sounds familiar!

"So your son helped Tex rob a bank and stole money and killed his wife and his youngest son and we have haven't seen him!" She laughed. "Now that I'm not sure of. Tex isn't my boy. Miguel is...and Miguel was there with him?" I took out the papers. "Yes I caught Tex with the bag of money, Miguel was the one who cried, Tex was so serious he didn't care! Why?" She thought deeply. "I'm not sure. I hardly know Tex and never will. I don't trust the boy! He always has an excuse for what he does!" I smiled. "Alright thank you! I got everything I needed! Can I call you?"

She choked, "yes here is my cell call me for anything more questions!"

I left the trailer and headed back to the lab. Pam saw me with a huge smile, "Getting closer!" She walked to me. "What you find out?" I sighed. "Well ok read this info! I got everything!" She gasped! "Oh my god! I know who the killer is!"

Who is the killer? And why would they kill and hide?
