Hello, it's me. Yes, The Midnight Killer is back. Did you get the Adele reference in the first sentence? What? Even a serial killer can have a good taste in music.

How many of you missed me? It's just few days over a month since I last wrote, and just over two months since I last killed.

As most of you would remember, I promised to write again if the police could not find me. It's so sad watching them struggle. Therefore, I'm here to lend them a helping hand.

As of some hours ago, another woman has gone missing. In fact, I'm currently writing this as I watch her sleep. She looks so at peace. I wish I could snap a picture and attach it to this letter, but I won't. I haven't decided what I would do with her. Maybe by the end of this letter I would have figured it out.

I hope I have sparked you all's interest as to who she is. Rubs hands together with a devilish grin plastered on my face. Let's get this show on the road.

Events of the previous day...

Mondays suck. Especially when I haven't done the one thing that brings me relief—kill. Nevertheless, I'm a man of my word. I promised not to kill until I have given the police time to find me. A month has passed and I'm still waiting.

I mentally planned my day as I sipped a cup of coffee while staring at the people that walked in and out of the Starbucks just a few blocks from my office.

Some people will call it creepy, but I call it being observant. I glanced at my wristwatch. The time was 7:45 am. Work starts at eight sharp. I placed a twenty-dollar tip on the table and walked out. I was feeling generous.

The moment I stepped out of Starbucks, the smell of water mixed with dust hit my nostrils. I took in a deep breath, welcoming the smell. Thunder rumbled beneath the dark clouds accompanied by lightning.
