Newspaper Report

Seventeen year old, Carla Deven was found dead in her apartment, North of the Trisrian River. Police have confirmed the case as homicide but have no suspects, at this point in time. This is the nineteenth such attack in the last year. Police are advising young teenagers to lock their doors at night and try to avoid being out after ten. Anyone with any information on any of the nineteen homicides are expected to come forward immediately.

Rebecca's P.O.V.

"Dang that's a lot of homicides" Jacob said as we walked down the street towards the shops. Jacob has always been an adrenaline junkie, I'm starting to think he wants to meet the killer. Every single crime scene he's been to, he's tried to figure out who it is, he always says, "I'm so close, I can feel it". I think he's crazy. Don't get me wrong I am too, but I just do a better job at hiding it.

I have to give this killer some credit though, he is good. No witnesses, no suspects, no evidence (other then the bodies), no fingerprints, nothing to lead it back to the killer. So the police are just waiting for another body to show up. They have nothing at all. I can't help but admire this killer.

Jacob falls into silence. He tells everyone he wants to be a detective when he's older and that's why he's so interested in this case. But I know the real reason, Laila. Laila was the nicest girl in our year. No one knew except me, that Jacob and Laila had started dating. They wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible, he wasn't even going to tell me. I saw them after school in the music room making out. That's how I found out. Jacob was absolutely devastated when she was murdered, she was number two. Now he's made it his job to figure out who the killer is, and he's dragging me into it.

"How's Harley?" I ask finally breaking the silence. Harley is Jacob's younger sister, who is 14. Jacob sighs and runs his hands through his jet black hair. This simple action gives me so many butterflies, I don't know how or why, it just does. And I love it.

"She has a boyfriend" Jacob sighs. This is no surprise to me of course, Harley is beautiful, with Jacob's jet black hair and green eye, she has fair skin and rosy cheeks. I'm surprised she hadn't gotten a boyfriend before now. I love Harley, she's so nice, and cute. When I was fourteen I used to help Jacob babysit her, she was always an angel for me, but she never listened to Jacob. And we'd spend around an hour trying to pick a movie to watch, Harley and I verses Jacob, Barbie verses Transformers. We always won and Jacob would have to watch an hour of Barbie.

"Is he nice?" I ask. If you haven't noticed I have a slight crush on Jacob. But can you blame me? He's like L from Deathnote. And who doesn't love L. He is an amazing detective, but Light is amazing too so... if you asked me who's side I'm on, I'd tell you I didn't know because I love them both.

"He is nice, and intelligent, but that's not the point, he's stealing my little sister away from me" He says. Fair enough, if Sammy was to get a girlfriend I'd be the same. But lucky me, Sammy is only six. And I don't think he's going to get a girlfriend anytime soon, he is so annoying.

We show up at my house. He walks me up to the front door. What do I do? Should I hug him? Is he going to hug me? God, what is he doing to my brain?

He hugs me before shouting goodbye and walking to his house. I stand at my front door for a few minutes just feeling tingly. I hate that feeling. Oh well.

Unknown P.O.V.

I watch as he unlocks his front door, looking around before entering. I gotta give this kid some credit. He is persistent. You cannot win mundane. For I am Death.

I will get you, Jacob Decjuba.
