KILLER

Chapter Seventeen

"I'm just a dead person walking through life."

The Clyde family was all evil.

There were four children. Edward Clyde married Janelle when they were young. The first child they had was Charles, who would now be around 31.

He was the oldest son, then a nine months later came their second child, Kimberly.

A year later the family expanded when they had the devil incarnate of a son. Aaron Clyde.

Apparently, Janelle and Edward has separated for a bit before getting back together. Three years passed after they had Aaron, when they had another baby boy.

Their last son.

Patrick Clyde. Turns out he had a falling out with his family, and moved away from them, apparently he didn't want to partake in his family's criminal business.

Turns out all the children were sent to military camps, and the boys attended an all boys school growing up.

Kimberly was sent to an all girls school, and invoked in a karate program with her brothers.

Edward basically manipulated his children and trained them to be his little evil soldiers to follow out his evil plans.

Their mother died three years ago. Which caused Edward Clyde to go off the deep end.

Right around the time Aaron Clyde, or Clive, first showed up on my radar. After all these years of cat and mouse, I was finally going to put an end to him.

Even if it kills me, I'll do it.

Zander sent me quite a lot about the Clyde family, and only one article about the wedding church shooting that happened six months ago.

The article didn't say much, just that the bride to be, Emily Sutton was shot down right in front of the groom.

It didn't say what the grooms name was, causing my insides to twist because I know for a fact the groom was questioned after the shooting.

He went wild, chasing the men through the church, firing his gun. He was ex military.

The mystery man lost his bride to be, because Edward Clyde sent in men to kill her, to get to the groom, who was ex military - putting him on the top of Edwards list.

What I didn't understand, is why his name wasn't in any of the articles, why it only stated the brides name.

This was a clear cover up, but of what? Was the man so dangerous, that he had to stay a nameless mystery?

I ended up printing everything Zander sent me, doing it twice so I'd have two copies of everything before deleting the files.

Just in case someone was going to hack my computer, I didn't need them seeing was I was diffing into.

There was a clear cover up going on, and I was going to get to the bottom of it.

"C'mon Mendes, we've got to be smart about this." I snapped lowly, glancing around the large warehouse.

Captain called me in early to help with a case, just to shut down a drug operation. Simple.

He rolled his eyes, before spinning around with his gun his hand, his eyes wide when banging came from the other side of the door.
