Chapter 2

"Officer Stark wanted us to have our cups and glasses raised up high, not to have a face dangling in our head." said John.

John Evereth is Carl's best friend since childhood and one of his colleagues in the State Police. They grew up together in a small community in Greenwich, Connecticut. They both entered the same school in their high school years and entered the same police academy. Though they have a very similar dream, they still have different goals. Carl wanted to work with the FBI and John wanted to be in the NSA.

'I'm having fun inside my head John. And don't worry about my face; it always looks like it has a problem.'

'I am not worried about your pet I am worried about your head, you need to spill it out of your cup c'mon!' John pulls Carl out of their glass door and into the backyard and faces him in front of everyone.

'Everybody, eyes on the big boy! Our Napoleon here has something to say to us. All eyes and ears to our one and only Carl Holmes!' the crowd claps as John yelled it.

While having an annoyed look at John, Carl said:

'Uhm, I just wanted to ah, thank you for filling this night with your presence of good vibrations. We wouldn't make it if it is not because of each one of us. So, have a great night everyone, congratulations.' and a round of applause commences while he intends to go back inside the kitchen to grab another beer.

'That was quite a speech you gave back there that I thought Abe Lincoln stands beside you and whispers you what to say.' the girl with a soft voice humorously said to Carl.

'Haha! Thank you for the aid, I'll take one dose of that tonight Dr. Kate.'

'I have more of those if you want, just ask for prescription anytime.' She winks and laughs with Carl.

Dr. Kate Isabelle is a surgeon at the Connecticut State Hospital. She aids the forensics of the Connecticut Police, specifically the Greenwich Police Department. Carl first met her at his first case, the Greenwich Hannibal case which named after the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, a cannibalistic serial killer, whom the culprit in the case resembles.

"You know Carl, I'm always here to fill our glass. You don't need to worry about anything. I'm always at your back, including our friends."

"I'm not worried about anything. I'm just tired of what happened."

"But John said there was something you knew after Officer Stark died-"

"Carl, the State Police called."

John, Carl and Kate immediately responded to the call of the State Department while the police officers at the party return to their duties in the Greenwich Police Dept. The three went to a crime scene. It was the condominium of the Greenwich Hannibal, Remus Cantrelle, wherein they caught him 3 years ago. There, they found statues of dead bodies, arranged perfectly like a well-groomed museum.
