Black Rose

Back on track

Haleson and Jason are still trying to find the BlackRose killer, it somehow still being a concern after the weeks of Alice's return. She works together with the police, making good on their deal, but only gives them so much clues to help on the case, and weeks pass. "I really don't understand this. I really, really don't. This is the most elusive killer I've ever had the chance to investigate." Haleson says, pacing the floor of her kitchen and dinning room floor. Jason smiles as he watches her, him sitting at the table littered with files and papers of the case. "Yeah. I'm starting to think that this case would go cold soon, but I have a feeling that we're running in circles." he answers. Hale hums as she picks up a file and goes over it, then dropping it and pulling up another. Jason smirks as he watches her instead of doing his work. "You know, it would be good if you actually helped look for some clues rather than staring at me the whole time..." Hale says, pausing in her reading to raise an eyebrow at him and smirk. Jason laughs,"It would. But I like watching you work. You look so cute." Hale rolls her eyes and throws down the file she was looking at in front of him,"Well look at this. I think I found something."

She comes around the table to lean over his shoulder and points to one of the pages of notes in the file,"So you know how Alice gived us help and stuff and she knows so much and all that?"

"Yes? And?"

"Well. I was thinking, how does she know so much and the killer and her persona of the killer seems  spot on. So, I think her and the killer are in cahoots with each other. Better yet, I think she is the killer." Hale finishes, coming around Jason's body to sit on the table slightly. Jason's eyebrows raise,"Wha? Hale, seriously? She's a little kid. How the hell would she be able to be with a killer, more importantly, how would she be able ro kill someone?" he says. Haleson huff and hits his arm,"She's eight. And besides, there have been little kid killers before."

"Yeah, but they haven't been serial killers. More like they killed some people here and there but they were caught before anymore people could be killed, and they are never as clean as this serial killer."

"Actually, Detective, your lover is right." a voice suddenly interupts from the dark of the living room. Hale and Jas both stand and point their randomly appearing guns at the small, dark figure. "Who the hell are you?"Hale growls out. The figure walks closer, revealing a girl in a plain white mask, black jeans and black shirt with a cardigan like jacket in black also. The detectives stare at her, squinting. The girl chuckles and walks to stand in front of them at the table,"You two are so cute together...if you were any other humans, I think I'd tire of our little game very quickly...." she says, her voice coming out in a mixture of different voices and whispers all put together. "...you're the killer..." Jason says, realization washing over him. Haleson and him both stager a step back when the girl nods and tilts her head as if to smile at them. "...Then....what, exactly am I right about?" Haleson asks in a small voice.

The girl moves away from the table and takes to walking around the kitchen and dinning area. "You know, the people I kill deserve it. And I know you cops and detectives and such believe in throwing people in jail and all that jazz, but sometimes, the law is just too kind to people. Sure, there are people on death row, but even still, they are allowed one last freedom before they die. A freedom, that they do not deserve. So! In order to at least somewhat clean up the mess, at least around where I live, I pick up where the law would be too nice. I never get those who don't deserve it, and those who I do get, I make sure to explain why they are being exterminated. That, at least, is the only respect i give any." she says, smiling at the two detectives, who are still pointing their guns at her. "You didn't answer my question....Alice?"Haleson says cautiously.

The girl chuckles and looks over her shoulder at them," I know, Haleson. And I also know how badly you want me to reveal myself to you. And I will, once you turn off that tape recorder and the recorder on your phone and any other recorders that you w currently have going...Did you honestly think I wouldn't notice you start recording me at the beginning of our conversation?" the girls says smirking. Hale and Jas stiffen subtly but give nothing else. The girl sighs and her fingers twitch, and suddenly, the lights in the room are off and switf sounds are heard. Hale and Jas try and protect themselves from any threat but nothing happens to them and the lights turn on a second later. The girl has all the revorders and Haleson and Jason's phone in hand, all off. "There. Now isn't that better detectives?" she says, laughing and coming to sit on the out counter before them.
