Killer-X -shadows of dark-

Chatper 6- The ripper

I soon as me and mel could sneak out we took it. Kat talked to us on the phone telling us a rare case had popped up that cops couldn't figure out, It was urgent and sadly to say I couldn't wait for my parents to go to sleep. I know believe me I know it was stupidly dangerous but it would only be an hour before they went to bed anyway. Me and mel had to leave separately his mom was being a little more stubborn so he said he was going to be late, I got to kats and walked in kicking off my shoes, "So what's going on?" I snatched my duffle bag from under her bed.

"Ok so prostitutes have been turning up dead each one found sexually assaulted their throats slit and tongues cut out.." Kat turned to me as I threw my shirt on her head. "EW EW EW GROSS GEO GERMS!" Kat screamed.

"Well don't look I'm in my underwear!!" I shouted hoping into my cargo pants my hoodie on half way and the mask hooked up on my head. Kat threw my shirt on the floor "EW AND IT SMELLS LIKE YOU THREW IT IN THE WASHER FULL ON AXE BODY SPRAY!" She shivered at the thought. "HEY AXE HAS BEEN A FAMILY TRADITION SINCE MY DAD AND MY GREAT GRANDPA USED IT!" Kat titled her head "axe wasn't around that long.." I went silent for a minute "..shut up..its a pre teens best friend.." Kat rolled her eyes. Mel rushed in quickly and threw his ash black T- shirt on the floor. Kat cringed "BATHROOMS!" Mel grabbed my bag accidentally and tried fitting my shoes I stopped him "Bro that's my bag!" Mel looked at the contents and dived for his also under the bed, I snatched my shoes off his feet. Kat shouted "boys looks like the tenth victim was found!"

"Tenth? How long has this been going on?!" Mel asked putting on his cap, Kat while typing on the keyboard responded "This has been a thing for a week now our lovely police department have been keeping it to themselves now they're telling people to stay inside."

"Another way of our men in blue telling us they can't do shit but wait..." mel answered putting his baton and hatchet in there proper holsters. I slowly nodded "little do they know...I don't like waiting for shit.." I slowly adjusted my mask and expanded my knight stick "let's roll out.." I ran to the garage and rushed out the bike. Mel hopped on and we took off towards east and arrived to a swarm of police and forensic scientist. "Hey you! Stop!" An officer grabbed Mel's shoulder "hands off the jacket piggy cost for then your paycheck!" A voice interrupted "hello fellas dom let em go we need all the help we can get!" It was detective Owens  walking up to me and Mel. "Hello detective.." I said nodding he patted my shoulder "walk with me.." he began strolling through the yellow tape and we followed behind him.

"What's going on here word on the street you guys were keeping skeletons in the closet detective." Mel said walking aside me, Owens sighed "Yeah we were didn't want to cause panic around here it started out with two then the others popped up faster then a stubborn ex- wife" he shined his flashlight towards a alley way I slowly approached in getting on one knee. It was just like Kat said throat slit and her mouth was open a pool of blood filling inside, her eyes were still open looking away towards left of the wall I looked towards her body no marks or sign of struggle but it seemed her underwear was in fact missing. "Detective what's her name?" I said holding back a gag the scene was gore filled more then I prepared my self for, "crystal mekler ..."  I motioned Mel over he stepped forward "Red-X I need light towards the left wall.." Mel turned on his flash light and words written in blood in the wall appeared. "Cleansed?..." Mel mumbled quietly I took a closer look "we're dealing with a serial killer...high intellect..he knows his stuff.. Detective I need the files of these women every one of them.." Owens nodded "Ill see what I can do but you both are always a head before I even know what's going on." he walked away. Mel crouched over the body "who does shit like this?..." he said disgusted getting up looking away. "We need everything we can get on this bastard.."

"They're callin him the ripper .." Owens spoke walking back to us. Mel nodded "ah clever...I see what you did there.." he chuckled. I looked at them confused "ripper?"
