The work of a Detective

Chapter 2: The days of hell

Hey as you may have read in the previous section i told you about the first day i was in the field. It was a real rocky start but now you know my first ever case i'm going to bring you back to the present. Me and Spencer are working on a very serious and frustrating case. This case involves multiple murders that are scattered around town but each body is always marked in the same symbol. This symbol is very unique some may think it has something to do with Satan himself well i don't blame them because at this point i'm starting to think the same thing.

I have worked with Spencer for many of years and i haven't seen him this frustrated and angry. Mean many detectives are angry when they have a mass murderer on the loose right? but as i'm typing this Spencer gets a call from dispatch as i listen i hear

Operator: we need two detectives at 5673 N Bluwood there is a unidentified male.

Spencer: 10-4

As we arrive to the scene i look up at the unidentified males house and somehow it looks familiar in some weird way. The house is built like one of those country houses and its painted a pearl white as i approach the stairs they have a old worn down look to them. after i made it up the steps my eyes meet up with the dark red colored door with a very bright gold knob. As i lift the caution tape and walk in and i see a male lying in a pile of blood  shirtless and as i look even further at the body i notice  the same and very familiar symbol carved into the man's chest it made me sick to my stomach looking at the familiar sign. But i still need to figure out why this house is so familiar to my ocean blue eyes. so i put a pair of blue surgical gloves on and headed up stairs to find any evidence what so ever that would lead me to finding out this man's identity and why am i so attached to this house. As i'm walking up the stairs i hear shuffling in the closet in one of the bedrooms. I call out "Chicago p.d put you hands up." as i'm walking closer to the wooden and very tall skinny man walks out of the dirty closet and i hear him say under his shoot under his cold breath "Help me, Please don't shoot". I call down stairs for Spencer and one of the EMF's as i see Spencer running up the steps, the very skinny man faints i'm glad i saw him or else he would of landed head first on the floor. The EMF's bring a stretcher up the stairs and take him to a near by hospital where he could get checked out. After that horrible event i get back to searching for any clues that would lead me to the unidentified man. I begin by looking in the wide dresser that looked very old and ancient. I open one of the old worn down drawers and i'm hit with a awful odor of death and when i look down i see a red brownish pentagram, i assumed the pentagram was written in the victims blood but that same pentagram shape was the same symbol that was carved into the victims body. It's like this sick bastard knew we would look in these drawers to find evidence, it's like he was watching us. He was a wolf and we were his pray. I continue my search of looking in the drawers and i find the victims wallet taped on the top of the drawer i begin to pull the wallet of the top of the drawer and i open it. The victims ID read Adam Shawley and he was in his early twenties. It just make s me feel sad for this person because his life was cut short and i know that sounds like a cleache but i was true he could of planned o many things and they were cut short because of some sick bastard. This made me upset and i began to walk downstairs to tell Spencer what i found, i find Spencer looking in the kitchen for clues " Hey Spence you got a minute" I say he replies" Yeah, what's up" I reply instantly with " I found the victims wallet it was taped on the top of this old dresser drawer". I looked at Spencer i he instantly had a sense of relief on his face and i did to. Spencer replied with " So what's the victims name" I reply " The victims name is Adam Shawley he's 22 years old. Spencer had a worried look on his face which told me that he was concerned about the victim. he said " You know Alice i just wanna catch this bastard so people can sleep at night without worrying that they might be next and what if this dude decides to kill someone younger than 22?" i pause and think for a second because what Spencer is saying is true even if it sounds cheesy, what if this person decides to kill a kid than we have a bigger problem on our hands. I respond "Your right Spencer, let's gather what we have and head back to the office and see if we can piece anything together?" Spencer replies " Yeah i think that's a good idea i just need time to think and process what we found today". Me and Spencer head outside and into our car it's practically almost nightfall and we were the only one's at the house and that's when it hits me i say "Hey Spencer, what if we stake out the place the killer might come back for something that he might have left and if he does we catch him what do you think?" Spencer looks at me and smiles and says " Yeah why not". We get in our car and pull out to park somewhere that's far away but not to far away from the house and know we wait and wait and wait. I'm practically drooling on myself when Spencer taps me on my shoulder and says "Hey look we got something" as i look up i see a decent sized person a little well built wearing all black walking to the back gate to open it as this dude closes the gate me a Spencer quietly open our doors a head towards the gate with our guns drawn. We reach the gate and hear rustling inside the house it sounds like this dude is trying to find something in the drawers downstairs we head up the back steps and see this man dressed head to toe in black and he had this make shift ski mask on with eye holes cut out. he froze in front of me and Spencer and looked at me right in my eyes. I will never forget his eyes, it felt like he was looking in my soul he had the lightest green eyes mixed in with the tiniest bit of brown. I was stuck in a trans until the man ran towards the door we pull our guns up and at the same time said " freeze don't make us shoot". The man stopped in his tracks and put his hands up but i thought that we had him. He quickly went in his pocket and pulled out a handgun and fired it hit me in the shoulder, i fell instantly and Spencer fired back shooting the guy in the chest. Spencer called for back up " Hey Alice, stay with me okay" my vision was blurry i nod to his response i ask Spencer "did we get him" Spencer looked at the door and froze a stared for a while "I shot him in the damn chest how did he run away"? Spencer called in the radio to look out for a man wearing all black and possibly has a chest wound.

The ambulance finally arrived and they placed me on the stretcher and put a mask over my face and a bandage over my wound. Spencer came along during the ambulance ride, we arrived a little later to the hospital the EMF's pull me out from the ambulance and towards the automatic doors and directly to surgery to sew me up. Spencer waited in the waiting room. I wake up in a hospital bed and my shoulder killing me i look over at Spencer he was still in his uniform but was passed out in the chair. I sit there and try to remember what the hell just happened .
