MERAKI

PRESENT DAY

11:30 pm

Detective Booney's P.O.V

"Hello, Detective Boone speaking", I croaked into the phone.

"You better get that lazy bum of yours right here, because we have got a situation going on!" I literally had to pull the ear piece away because all that yelling would have definitely made me go deaf if I had brought the phone any closer.

"Alright Captain-", I was immediately cut off as the line went dead from the other side.

I stared at the phone in disbelief.

"Jeez, Why does this fellow has to be this hot tempered", I muttered under my breath and headed towards the bathroom.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I parked my car in front of an abandoned warehouse. On my way, I was notified to come here straight away.

I locked the car behind me as I took a look at my watch. The time read 1 am on the dot.

I rubbed my tired eyes and suppressed another yawn.

Several police cars were already scattered in front of the warehouse, their sirens lighting up the dark night sky.

I ducked under the yellow tape and showed my ID to one of the officers. I then climbed my way up to the second floor and saw Captain North talking on the phone.

"Hey Captain", I said in a neutral tone as he turned around.

"Detective, it's high time. Follow me", he grunted and walked towards a room to the right.

I opened the curtain like polythene flap and followed him into the room.

Immediately an unbearable stench met my nose as I walked in further. I quickly covered my nose with one of the handkerchiefs that I found in my trouser pocket.

The room was enveloped in complete darkness.

My eyes narrowed in scrutiny as they wandered in search for the source of the rotten smell. My eye balls suddenly froze in motion as they caught sight of a clutter of objects lying in the furthest corner of the dark room.

I walked closer towards the source with my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I was a few steps away to figure out what it was.

I quickly took another step forward with my heart racing unusually in agony.

Then another step.

Then anothe-

My racing heart literally stopped.

I tried to take another step forward but my limbs refused to move. I stood rooted on the spot not being able to believe my own eyes.

A cold shiver ran down the length of my spine, waking me up from my temporary coma. I could feel the hair rise at the back of my neck.

Suddenly I was able to sense my heart beat again, only this time it wasn't racing. It was instead beating irregularly in a slow pace but with so much force and intensity.

With so much force that it made me sweat and feel nauseous.

I forced down the bile that crept up my throat as I took in the scene before me. I tried to blink away the water welling up in my eyes, but the tears wouldn't stop from forming.

There lying on the cold floor, was a little girl with her intestines jutting out. Her naked body was covered by the pool of blood around her. There were no traces to recognize her for her face was disfigured. It would definitely take some time to recognize her. I looked closer, and she appeared to be a kid of about 12 years. I bet she was one of those girls who miraculously disappeared during the last few months.

Anger boiled inside me.

Who had the audacity to torture an innocent life in such a cruel manner?

Barbarians.

Whoever did this were barbarians with not even a spec of humanity left in them.

A growl left my mouth at the mere thought. My knuckles tightened and my fists clenched involuntarily making them go white.

I'm definitely going to catch these bastards one way or another.

And when I do, they are going to regret the day they popped into this world!
