Ballad And Deaths

"What's this?" I asked my co-worker Mike, the one that give me this paper.

"A poem isn't it obvious?" Mike answered.

"But how is it connected to my assignment?" My curiosity is killing me! I am not used in reading a poem to solve my cases. The hell  it is! I'm an inspector not a reader.

"It is your case. It actually said it all. The story is the murderer's life and how he became the suspect to all of this murders" he said. It made me think for a moment.

"Who is this psycho who ruthlessly murdered his mother just for his beloved whore?" I can't believe someone can do that. Killing her mother for the sake of a woman like that? This man seriously needs a psychologist.

"Someone named Seth McWellis. He's been charged 4 times after that, but he's never been captured. Gwen the answer you seek is also in the poem. It is because he's inlove to that 'maiden'. Based on the data I  received he makes every girl deeply inlove with him and in the second year of their relationship he'll murder them. It is constant, every two years! And based in his records the next victim will be killed one month from now" Crap! That asshole. Whoever he is victimizing now is surely dead.

"I still don't get it. And now we only have 29 days and a half to stop the incoming murder" I said oblivious to start the case.

"You wouldn't understand it Gwen, because you've never been inlove. Anyone who's inlove would probably do that for them to be together. Even me, I would probably do that too. Anyhow, that's all the information I got. There's no sign of him in any of the places he was seen into" Mike said like lecturing me. The hell it is! How can he tell that I don't believe in such insolence?

"Yeah right! I don't believe in this thing called 'love' because it doesn't exist. Look what that thing turned this man into. He sure lost his mind because of his love. Gosh! So ridiculous! Call all the connected persons in this crime. We'll start this now and will kick this off! Damnit! Whoever this is, I'm making sure he'll be jailed for life" I took all the records and walk through the door of the headquarters. Im heading straight to the garage and to my car.

I'm going to capture him and bring justice to all the women he murdered. Welcome Seth McWellis for while you're stepping in my life, I'm making sure there will be no way out. Its either I locked you in the cell, or I'll give you a wonderful death you'll never like.

Ballad of a Mother's Heart
Jose La Villa Tierra

The night was dark, for the moon was young
And the stars were asleep and rare;
The clouds were thick, yet Youth went out
To see his Maiden fair.

"Dear One," he pleaded as he knelt
Before her feet, in tears
"My love is true; why have you kept
Me waiting all these years

The Maiden looked at him unmoved
It seemed, and whispered low;
"Persistent Youth, you have to prove
By deeds your love us true."

"There's not a thing I would not do
For you, Beloved," said he.
"Then go," said she, " to your mother dear
And bring her heart to me."

Without another word, Youth left
And went to his mother dear,
And ope'd her breast and took her heart.
He did not shed a tear!

Then back to his Maiden fair he ran
Unmindful of the rain;
But his feet slipped and down he fell
And loud he groaned with pain.

Still in his hand he held the prize
That would win his Maiden's hand;
And he thought of his mother dear
So kind, so sweet, so fond.

And then he heard a voice, not from
His lips but all apart;
"Get up," it said; "were you hurt, Child?"
It was his mother's heart.
