Murder On Ice

The Meet

The car tried to stop us or pull us over a couple of times. It parked in front of us during one of the red lights and he started to get out. Just as he was about to come around, a biker zoomed right next to him, knocking him down. The light turned green and the taxi cut over to the fast lane, leaving him behind in the middle of the street. By the time we got back to the lab, it was already midnight. Wilson and I ran into the lab to find Heath and a worried looking Hanna.

“Oh my gosh! Wilson! Fiara! Where were you two?!” Hanna screamed.

“Chill, we got kidnapped…” Wilson said without mentioning who did it.

“For a full forty-eight hours?!” Hannah screamed again

“Sorry.” I said, pushing her out of the office.

“Heath, we need to talk,” I said once we were alone.

“What happened?”

“Well, we do know one of the suspects, but you would never believe who she is.” I said looking around the office.

Just then I saw something on the back of me blinking as I stared into the mirror on the wall.

“Heath, call Blake… I have a bomb attached on my back,” I said calmly, trying not to panic. I could already feel the adrenaline rushing to my head. I turned around slowly so that my back was to Heath.

“Wilson!” Heath screamed. Wilson ran in and saw the bomb. He immediately went back out to call Blake.

“How come I didn’t see that before… You didn’t even notice it on the way back…” Heath said, grabbing a few tools from around the room.

“I don’t know, but I think that it was because I just took off my jacket…” I said pointing at the black Dollhouse jacket that was currently on the floor.

“Fi, don’t move. Heath get out,” Blake ordered, getting the equipments ready.

“Heath, get everyone to evacuate the building, right now,” I said, trying to stay calm.

“Alright Fi, we’re going to get started on this.” He reached into the box beside him and took out a screw driver. He slowly unscrewed the bomb and looked at the inside.

 “I feel like a suicide bomber.” I said with a frown.

Blake laughed as he pulled out the tweezers. Slowly he pulled out parts of the wires.

 “Okay smart girl, blue or red?” Victor asked me.

“How am I supposed to know?”I said with a frown.

“Okay, we’ll wait until you know. By the way there is only two more minutes.” Blake said, sitting back with a smile.

“Shut up and cut one already!” I screamed, I couldn’t control my panic.

“Nope.”

Blake started to leave the room. I could hear the last seconds of my life ticking away. That was, until the bomb stopped.

I sighed. I didn’t realize I was holding in my breath for so long. Blake came back in with a smirk on his face. “It wasn’t going to explode, this has got to be the fakest bomb ever.” He said as he started to take the bomb off.

Tick

Tick

Tick

“Blake something isn’t right, something is ticking.”

Blake turned the bomb around and saw another timer, this one ticking faster than usual.

“Damn.” Blake said before immediately throwing it into the metal container.

Both of us ran out of the room and away as fast as we could. Even from the end of the hallway, we could hear the loud boom as the metal container shattered. Luckily it wasn’t a big bomb.

That’s when it hit me. Our suspect, our killer was still outside. I walked outside to see her shivering. I couldn’t bring myself to feel sympathy for her.

“Ms. West. You know the killer, you have to help us. This has gone too far, do you think you can cooperate with us and tell us the location he is in?” I asked sitting down next to her.

She tried to look for any explosives on me. The tension and silence between us made seconds feel like hours. After a few minutes, she finally told started to talk.

“Yes, I can. I should have told you long before,” she said sobbing.

“We gave you protection, we made sure you were okay, we granted you the wish of staying home, what more could you have asked for?” I asked, the malice dripping from every word that exited my mouth.

Cecelia cried on and on in the middle of the street before Chase came out to handcuff her. When she was in the interrogation room, she finally told him the description and the location of the man we were looking for.
