Later that night Detective Amanda Williams P.O.V.

    I continued scrolling down through the list of victims that had recently been abducted by The Red Mask Killer. Something had just caught my eye on one of the victims profiles when my phone rang. "This is Detective Amanda Williams, how may I help you?"
    "Detective," it sounded like a girl. Her voice was shaking. "It's Maddie Washers."
    "Maddie what seems to be the problem?"
    "I think someone is outside my house. Earlier I found a box on my front door with blood and a note," she started desperately crying and whisper panicking.
    "Maddie take a deep breath. Everything is going to be alright. Now I need you to calmly tell me what happened from the beginning."
    "Okay," she took a deep breath then continued. "I came straight home after I left the station and everything was normal. I started thinking of stuff that could cause me to have a stalker like you said and I made a list. It's sitting on my bedside table upstairs. I started cooking steak for dinner not to long ago because I am expecting my friend Cameron to come over for dinner tonight. While I was in the middle of cooking dinner, when the steaks were almost well done just how he likes them, I heard a knock on my door. So I went to the door and opened it and there was a bleeding box on my doorstep. I brought it inside and sat it on coffee table in the living room and opened it. Inside there was a pool of blood and a bloody note that read the words, 'Maddie Renee Washers you will be mine and only mine no matter how long it takes me to get you. -Your sincerest boyfriend'."
    "How long ago did you get this note?"
    "About half an hour ago, and I know that I should have called but I didn't. I was too scared to do anything."
"That's okay. Now, has anything and I mean anything no matter how small else has happened since then?"
"I think that there is someone outside of my house."
"Stay on the line. I am sending police your way right now."
"Please hurry."  I pressed the red button on my desk and entered her phone number to be located in the address bar. "Ah!" I heard her scream into the phone.
"Maddie what's happening?"
"It's the..." I heard the phone hit the floor.
"Maddie! Maddie! Can you hear me?" I heard muffled sounds in the background. Then someone picked up the phone.
"Maddie are you okay? What happened? The police are almost there!"
    "Thanks for the heads up Detective, I appreciate it," that didn't sound like Maddie it sounded like a man in his 20s.
"Who is this?"
"Thank you for helping me track down my beautiful beloved Maddie. You were tons of help. Don't worry about her anymore, she's in good hands now. I'll take care of her." The line went dead.
"I need police at Maddie Washers house right this minute!  Henry I need you to run a scan of the phone. I just received a phone call from Maddie, and I need you to see if you can figure out whose voice that was. Janet and David, you're coming with me to the possible abduction scene. Let's get a move on this people!" We don't need another abduction especially not in this town. It's not like we don't already have enough on our plates with The Red Mask Killer.
    We arrived at the scene and the police that were already there escorted us to the dining room where Maddie had said she left the package. "Oh my gosh," Janet said shocked. "A bloody package and a note nicely typed up! This had to have been The Red Mask Killer," David said surprised. "But why would he abduct her? She has almost none of the traits we had found in the other victims that he has abducted," I said, jumping into the conversation. "Did she ever give you a list of who could possibly want to hurt her,"  Janet asked. "No but while I was on the phone with her, before she got abducted, she said that she had made a list on her bedside table. I'm going to go give that a look," I said. Then I quickly walked up the stairs to get the paper she was talking about.
    I got upstairs, took a right turn, and was in her room. I saw the bedside table. It was covered in blood. I picked it up and read what I could of the note. I only made out 2 names- Danny Wilson and The Red Mask Killer.
