Criminal Case: Grimsborough

Chapter 56: There Will Be Blood-Part 3

At the station Jones and Marie were discussing about the case and how tough it is by far. The two officers were saying that they know that the killer is the leader of the Crimson Order and they sent them to the construction site to look for Delsin's body. They also know that they arrested Serena Johnson for being a Crimson Order member, but they don't know if she's their leader. And to top it off, their friend Cathy has also become a suspect. Jones and Marie were also curious about what their next move will be now that they found their gold.

Suddenly, Ramirez ran up to them and told them that the Crimson Order are on TV and that they've hacked every channel. When Marie turned it on, a member of the Crimson Order announced that they will be stepping out of the shadows and they will take over the city. However, they couldn't because Marie was an obstacle and the member told every citizen in Grimsborough to bring them Marie's head and they will be greatly rewarded in gold.

After their announcement was over, Jones clenched his teeth in anger and exclaimed, "How dare they!"

Marie shook her head and said, "This is getting way out of hand. Our only hope now is to find and capture the Crimson Order leader, but the only person who knows their identity is dead!"

Just then Anakee appeared in the office with a pale face and she exclaimed to Marie, "Inspector, the spirits have told me that you need to dig where you found Delsin's body! His blood will reveal more blood!"

Confused by what she was saying, Jones asked, "What on earth are you talking about Anakee?"

"If you want the answers you seek, you need to dig," Anakee said to the two officers while having her hands raised.

Marie and Jones remembered that when they started in the district, Stuart Huckabee told the two of them to dig to get to the truth. However, it seems that he didn't mean it just for that one time. Knowing that it's not gonna be easy, Jones and Marie set out to the construction site once more to dig it up and reveal the dark secrets of the city once and for all. At the construction site, Jones and Marie were busy digging to get to the truth and six hours later, the two officers dig deep enough and they were leaning on their shovel handles to catch their breath.

Jones wiped his brow with his bare arm and said, "Anakee better be right about this or else she's in serious trouble. What does she mean anyway when she said, 'Delsin's blood will reveal more blood?' I'm getting pretty tired of all these secrets baby girl. Chief King's double life, the Crimson Order and their gold mine and all the deaths that entailed and..."

Marie continued to dig while he was talking until she discovered something and she called out to Jones and told him that she found something. Jones also saw it and he told Marie to investigate it while he calls Nathan. While Jones was doing that, Marie went into the pit, brushed some of the dirt away and her eyes went wide when she discovered bones within them. It was then that Marie knew that she found a massive grave hidden underneath the construction site.

Just as Nathan arrived in his Jeep and joined Jones and Marie, Marie showed him the grave she found and he got to work inspecting the bones. After a while, Jones asked, "Well did the Crimson Order do all this?! Were all these people murdered Nathan?!"

Nathan let out a deep sigh and said with a sad look on his face, "I've never seen anything like this, but yes. All these people were without a doubt murdered a long time ago."

Nathan then found a skull that looked like it was well preserved and he asked Marie to do a facial reconstruction to determine the skull's ethnicity. Marie agreed to do that, when suddenly, she found a scalp by the grave and she knew that it must be Delsin's. She also found a faded notebook and knew that she needed to recover what was written. A few seconds later, Marie recovered the message from the notebook and it said, 'Roman, stop Delsin and build quickly. Money is not an issue!' And on the bottom it was signed by Serena Johnson.
