The Unknown Killer

The Unknown Killer: Chapter Three

He was right, there was no way our tech team could get any infromation form the E-mail he sent me. He's always one step infront of us. By the end of the day I was literally pulling the hair out of my head. Henry sent me home because he said I would be bold by the time my shift is over. He was probaby right though.

So here I am now driving through the twists and turns that lead me to my home. I pulled into the gravel drvie way and pulled mt keys out of the igniton. Then I pulled myself out of the car and headed towards my house. I dug through my right pocet until I found the keys. I opened the door to be gretted by Selena Gomez voice echoing through the house. I knew Amanda must be in her room doing homework or something like that.

I walked up the squeaky steps and headed towards Amanda's room to let her know I'm home early. As I walked up to Amanda's door I heard her talking to somebody. I noticed that her door was open slightly and I peaked in. Amanda had her computer in front of her, her homework next to it and her phone in her hand. "I don't know Kasey" she admitted. There was a pause before she continued.

She sighed than said " you don't understand. We never lie to each other". Now I know she was talking about me. I knew I shouldn't be easedropping, but I couldn't help it. There was another pause than she contuied by saying "it just hurts". That's when I couldn't stand it anymore, I walked back down the stairs and into the kitchen. Making my self a sanwich I repayed the last thing Amanda said, ' it just hurts'. I had to make it up to her, I just had to.

Selena Gomez's voice was off and then I heard the speaky steps speak. Soon Amanda walked into the kitchen completly ignoring me. She rummaged throught he cabinets until she found what she was looking for. When she about to leave I said "Amanda come sit down".

"what are you gonna tel me more lies" she spat.

"Please".

She than pulled out one of the wooden chairs and sat down. "I didn't want you to worry The Ghost" I admitted.

"So you rather have me blined and oblivious to the facr that I got get killed by this physco".

"I'm sorry okay, I didn't think it through". Amanda leaned back in her chair and thought. There was a couple of minutes of silence before she spoke agian. "I know you were oonly tring to protect me and I forgive give you" she smiled.

I smiled too as a wave of relife washed over my body. Suddenly my cell phone started ringing, I checked the caller ID and relized that Daren was calling me. "Hello" I spoke.

"Aden go down by the local store... he struck agian" Daren infromed me. I hung up the phone and turned to Amanda. "I gotta go, stay inseide and don't let anyone inside" I ordered getting up and leaving the kitchen.

"Be safe" she called to me as I walked out the front door.

"Always am" I assured closing the door and locking it behind me.

Once I got to the local store I passed the yellow police tape and joined the rest of me team. "What do we got" I asked pulling out my white rubber gloves from my pocket.

" Two victims both stabbed. They were found with a bottle of beer in there hands too" Luke told me.

"Were they intoxicated" I asked.

"We don't think so, but the lab will tell us soon" Molly stated.

"Any witnesses or anything that could be useful" I asked already knowing the answer.

Henry shook his head and then said " no the store owner says he was running errands and the cashier didn't hear anything".

"Sercity camras" I asked.

"Just for show stopped working since two years ago" Daren sighed.

"Great" I muttered. I looked at the two victim and I noticed that they were arounf seventeen or eighteen. They were only starting there lives and it had been short lived for them.

The more time this guy was out there the more time people died. This wasn't goint to stop until he was behind bars. This gut just wouldn't quit until the whole town was slaughtered. Soon the two bodies were bagged and took off to the lab for futher investagation. Two women pushed their way through the crowmd and came to the yellow tape with tear filled eyes. As the body bags passed them one of the women cried " MY BABY, MY BABY". The other women fell to her knews and Nigra Falls poured out of her eyes.

We soon found out that the two vitims were Arnold Philips and Ben Locks, both at the age of seventeen. They haven't been drinking the alchoc that they were holding wasn't in they're system. The Ghost set them up that way, something he does with all his victims. I wonder why he puts his victims in poeses like that, it was most likely his signature. However, there was nothing in common and signtures always have something in coomon. This made no sense at all! How could we even find this guy if he's all over the plave doing a bunch of diffrent things?

The next day Ryan came back over for a vist at my house. "So anything thing new with your case about The Ghost" he asked me.

"Actually I got an E-mail from him" I announced.

"What does it say" Ryan asked interested.

"Hold on". I got up and went over to my jacket. When I got the E-mail I made a copy of it, why I'm not sure. When I came back and sat doen I haded the folded peice of paper over to Ryan. He took it over and read it quicky before relization hit him "Don't look at what you can see look at what you can't, is Katherine Riley's saying".

"What do you mean" I asked confused.

"Katherine always says this, it's kinda what she's known for" he elaborated.

Katherine Riley was a twenty- four year old women who people would always say is crazy. She wouls always go around the twon saying that evil lurks in the shadoes and only the good and pure could kill it off. I shot up off the seat ond onto my feet. I ran to go get my phone and once I did I quickly dialed Henry's number. After about two or three rings later Henry picked up the phone saying "hello".

"Henry I think I lead in The Ghost case".
