A war on two fronts

Chapter 6: The Beyonders

Theo, Mike, and Liam slept more because today was their free day, but Theo's started ringing desperately. Morai got up and offered the phone to Theo. Liam rolled on the other side and covered up with the blanket. Theo looked at Liam and Mike to see their reaction. After that, set the telephone on the speaker mode to hear why Parrish called.

"Sorry, I phone you on your free day. I don't have a choice," murmured Parrish and barely could say some words to explain the situation. "I got six calls, almost at the same time. They said somebody sacrificed five males of diverse ages. Also, an empty spot where supposed to be another sacrificed person."

"What?" How is that possible?" wondered Theo and slapped his face in shock.

"The corpses appeared from nowhere," murmured Parrish revealing another shocking surprise. "The legists said the males died between the interval an hour to nine hours. The corpses appeared at 09.00 AM."

"Do you call the others?" asked Theo and prayed in his mind to don't be far worse.

"That's no longer the competence of the police," answered Parrish and chose to say to the end. "They even sacrificed a nine-year boy. The crime is not far from where you stay."

"Send the location and I go with Liam and Mike to examine," said Theo and pushed Liam from the bed to wake him up again.

"Fine," informed Parrish and sent via a text message.

All three got up from the beds. They went first to the Kitchen to eat. After this, got in the car and Liam drove to the crime scene. There, Mike asked them if had to deal with such a situation before. They explained to him what happened with the Darach, Jennifer Blake, a few years ago. Liam and Theo investigated the location and observed it did not have anything in Darach's ritual.

"An extremely pleasant way to start the day," murmured Liam struggling to find his words.

"I know what you feel," said Theo to comfort Liam and recalled about disturbed sleep. "I remembered how the cops woke me up. They saw me I slept in my car in an unauthorized place."

"That's why is better to live in a ship," amused Mike because nobody disturbed his sleep.

"How do you fly undetected?" wondered Liam and realized nobody could disturb him if stayed on the ship.

"Stealth device," responded Mike.

"Guys, do you have any leads?" wondered Theo and saw he reached a dead end. "I am wondering why they sacrificed a nine-years boy."

"I go checking around to see if I see something unusual," informed Mike and jumped on the tress to see better. "Also, Morai flies to search from above."

"Mike, may you borrow me the telecommunicator, please?" wondered Liam and yelled at him because departed from the crime scene. "I have an idea."

"Funny, the folk directed by wonder come to witness the crime," murmured Theo and added, "Also, the exclusive thing that misses currently is the deed of the journalists,"

"Nothing from up," murmured Mike and threw his mobile to Liam, asking. "Any success?"

"I can't pick the smell of the murderer," responded Theo and all the attention went towards Bert's message from Whatsapp. "It camouflaged his scent with something."
