Bricktown Beast

Chapter 8: February 5 - Sunday Morning

Detective Douglas Demer and Detective Vincent McArthur are at the crime scene and Demer is talking to Mr. Stone, the manager of Wendy's. Demer has dark gray hair that is hardly ever combed, a moustache and walks around like he's better than everyone. McArthur is bald, chubby and nicer than Demer. Mr. Stone is Daniella's father and he looks like a masculine version of her, except he's a little heavy.

"I came in here last night to close the place and I saw these dead bodies, I was in shock so that's why it took so long for me to call you guys." said Mr. Stone looking at the ground upset.

Demer writes down what Mr. Stone says, "Ok, sir are you sure, YOU didn't kill these kids?"

McArthur walks up to Demer, "Come on don't mess with him, I'm sure he didn't kill them."

"Hey go back to examining the crime scene, I do questioning!" Demer turns back to Mr. Stone, "Ok so did you kill them or didn't you?"

Mr. Stone looks up and is now angered, "No, sir I didn't I told you what happened!"

Meanwhile McArthur is crouching down while examining the crime scene and he discovers pentagrams on the bodies and under each of them it says 'Lust' so he takes a picture of them, he then looks over to one of the booths by the window and has a flashback to February 2010.

It is daytime and McArthur is eating Wendy's with his 13 year old daughter, Brittney. Brittney has light blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears a red purity ring that her mother gave to her before she passed away.

"So how's school going?" McArthur asks Brittney as he sips his soda.

"It's going good, nothing much." Brittney then takes out her cell phone and shows her a picture of a 13 year old boy. "Though I did want to tell you I met a nice boy on Facebook, he says he goes to my school and he lives in Maple Leaf with his dad."

McArthur looks at the picture and it looks like a younger Matt Sexton, "Brittney, you know how I feel about people on the internet!"

Brittney rolls her eyes, "Oh, come on dad! He says he sees me in the hallways at school, but he's too shy to talk to me, but he wants me to meet him at his house."

McArthur gives the cell phone back to Brittney, "I'll tell you something, I have dealt with many cases where an old man will put a picture of himself when he was young or another young boy and say he's a young boy to try and lure young girls to him. I will not let you meet this so called 'boy' you met online; I don't care what he says!"

The flashback ends when Demer waves his hand in front of McArthur's face, "Hey, are you ok there buddy?"

McArthur gets up Demer, "Oh, sorry, I must of dosed off, anyway I believe this is the work of a serial killer."

"Well, duh! The killer killed more than one person!"

McArthur ignores Demer's attitude, "Yes and all the bodies have pentagrams with the word lust on it, so I assume he is killing lustful people."

Demer rolls his eyes and puts his hand up, "Yeah ok, what ever, I'm busy." He sees a bunch of news reporters outside, "Oh, I got to go!" He runs outside.

McArthur rolls his eyes and talks under his breath, "God, he's such an attention whore." He turns to Mr. Stone, "So you say you came in here and saw these kids dead?"

"Yes, I left the place before these kids died, after my ex-wife told me, our daughter, Daniella was missing, so I went to her boyfriend, Josh's house to see if she was there and he told me she went home Friday night, but my ex-wife said she hadn't heard from her since Friday morning, and we tried calling her cell and she didn't pick up, so then we called some of her friends and they all said last time they saw her was Friday. So I decided to come back and to ask my employees if they saw Daniella, since Ally was her friend, she may have known, but when I came back everyone was dead."

McArthur writes everything down and looks back to Mr. Stone, "So you say your daughter is missing?"

"Yes, her name is Daniella Stone." He starts to cry, "She's my only child, and I over heard you saying that the killer may be killing lustful people, my daughter is pretty sexually active, and I was mad at her the other day and called her slut, but I still love her, I don't want my last words to her to be 'You're a slut just like your mother!'" He cries harder and falls to the ground.

McArthur hugs him, "I promise I'll find her, don't worry Mr. Stone."

"Please do she's only 18, she's too young to die."

Meanwhile Demer is talking to the new reporters outside and one of them asks, "So what happened inside the Wendy's?"

Demer acts as if he knows everything, "Oh, so like a bunch of people were hacked up, pretty nasty if you ask me, but don't worry I, Detective Douglas Demer will find this killer!"

"Who do you think is the killer?"

"I would say maybe the manager of Wendy's, he looked suspicious to me."

"Oh, I don't think he is, you sir need to investigate more, instead of attracting attention to yourself, wouldn't you say?" asks Asmodeus pretending to be a news reporter.

"No, I am going to find the killer and of course I will investigate more!"

"Oh, really even if it meant not having your name in the paper or on the news?" Asmodeus gets closer.

Demer looks around, "Of, course I would find the killer anyway."

Asmodeus then gets in his face and smiles, "Sure you would."

Demer pushes him out of his face, "Get him out of here!"

Asmodeus walks away, "Yeah, every Brick cop knows you are an attention whore!"
