Florence + The Machine - Seven devils
"Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done"

"They found his car three blocks from here. You coming or what?" Holder asked pinching my arm
"...what time is it?" I asked
"6:45 AM. You fell asleep, also, I got his phone and credit card records. His last call were made 7 hours ago, our suspect is in Missouri, just Linden had guessed."
"When did she guess what ?where's Linden?" I asked getting up
"She went home, we'll go searching his car on our own."
"Okay, give me 10." I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I tied my hair into a bun and tried to remove the blood stain on my sweater, the usual.
Back in my office, I was going to grab my jacket and stuff when it knocked
"Enter" I spoke
"Detective?"
"Yeah, what is it?" I turned around to see the green haired boy standing in the door
"Do you have a few minutes?"
I nodded "sure. What is it?"
"I really wanna help your investigations. You know, Brianna was my friend to and...I've lied to you before."
"About what?" I asked
"When I said I was against the idea of using black magic to scare some people off...we, we. Did that once or twice but then...if went out of control."
"You tried what exactly?"
"Well, you know there's this place down the school basement. We used to meet up there. Smoking, you know. One day Jimmy had brought a ouija board and went "let's play" and we did as we told because what the hell...it's just a toy but then...Jimmy started to really get into the whole thing and talked in a strange voice and we thought he was just playing but then...he lost control and he slapped that girl and she fell to the floor. Like, he slapped her with an extreme strength and Brianna started screaming and said we should call an ambulance... But..." Dan started crying
"What happened then, Daniel, tell me."
"He didn't call an ambulance, he said if we tell someone they'll lock us away, so we...we left her there. She...she is still down there."
I got up "you killed a girl and kept her body down the school basement, is that what you're trying to tell me right now?"
"It was an accident, please, you must believe me." Dan cried out
"Holder! Pull that guy in, he just confessed a murder on a girl."
"Wha-"
"Just do it. Send a unit over to the Winston Churchill school, apparently there's a body down the basement."

7:00 am. I drove to where the units had found Montgomery's car. Three blocks away.
"Detective Davidson, homicide. We got something?"
The officer opened the car's trunk "we found a left leg and a left arm. And a bloody chainsaw wrapped up in a jacket on the passenger's seat."
