A Game of Hide and Seek [COMPLETE][UNDER EDITING]

Sunday : A Sense of direction

The day started out on a high note with Gerald bragging to Casey about how much fun he had on his weekend trip with his family. Donovan was busy rejoicing over finally defeating Jessica at chess while Richard was being playful with Sanchez. The mood was very conducive until Fitz and Johnny walked in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them then Fitz immediately ceased the opportunity

"Good morning, I have something to say" he said and everyone remained silent "Richard I am sorry for my behavior, it was not called for and Jessica I'm sorry" he added apologetically

"It's okay man don't sweat it" replied Richard

"Wow I guess a lot has also happened here in my absence" Gerald commented

"I'm sorry everyone forgive me" Fitz said sincerely

"All is forgiven" Sanchez assured smiling

"So please Richard the floor is all yours" he said walking to his seat

"I'm sorry too guys" Johnny confessed as he too walked to his seat

Richard stood up and went in front of the crew followed by Sanchez to present their evidence.

"Right guys" Richard began

"You really like using that word rrrrrrighttt" Donovan chattered lying back in his chair and everyone gave him the 'shut the fuck up' look "okay I'll be quiet already" he said folding his hands

"Good boy" Jessica said and Johnny chuckled

Donovan tried to defend himself but was cut off by Richard

"I am not a bo"

"As I was saying Sanchez and I revisited two of the previous crime scenes which are the motel and Sahil's shop and found matching shoe prints" Richard said

"You smart son of a bitch" Fitz said in a slow surprised manner

"How come we didn't think of that?" Gerald asked

"Because all along we were convinced it's different killers" replied Casey

"Meaning whoever it is he is trying to throw us off with the random murders" Fitz said

"But why the senseless killings?" asked Don

"These killings are not senseless he is after something; this guy is too organized to kill senselessly. The reason I say this guy is organized ten murders but still we got nothing on him" Johnny said

"He is able to cover his footsteps well, maybe too well" Richard commented

"So what do we do because the longer we are going to take before we catch him the more people die" said Carol as she walked into the room

"We find this son of a bitch.............as a team" Fitz clarified

"Since we have been looking at this all wrong, I think we need to go back to the drawing board. We first have to list all of the unsub's victims" Johnny said "we are going to have to look at each of them one by one, we must look for similar attributes between them" he added

"Mary, Rose, Samuel, Carlton, Antoinette, Getrude and Sahil" Casey listed the names

"Okay so there's no need for note books we already have our own right here" Gerald praised Casey's memory

"I have been looking at these murders and have noticed that his prime targets are females" Casey contributed

"True so does it mean that females are the stressor? " Fitz asked

"Most probably" she replied

"So, in other words the male victims were just caught in the cross fire" John said biting his lower lip

"Yes, I believe so" agreed Richard

"No matter how useful that is it's not enough to help us pin him down" Jessica advised

"Yes, if I recall correctly someone once talked about a blue-collar job right" John asked and everyone nodded "So that's where we start, I recall there was mention of heavy jobs so we need to see how many heavy blue-collar jobs are in this town that our unsub might work at" he added

"We can only get that information from the mayor's office" Gerald said

"Fitz and Casey, you'll go and see the mayor and acquire the information we need, then Jessica and Richard go to the first victim's parents and see if there's anything useful we can use in the investigations." he commanded

"And us?" Don asked

"The three of us are going to look for any similarities between the victims and why he chose to attack them" he replied

"Great we get stuck here with Mr. bossy pants" Gerald whispered to Don

"I heard that" John said and everyone broke into laughter

************************************************************

The team had finally succeeded to be a step ahead of him for the first time in this case however it was not going so well with Mr. Sala whose freedom hung by a thread. He knew he had to do something about Shilo or she might ruin everything for him. He woke up early in order to prepare for his next move. He left his house quite early and by 8 am he was already pulling up in front of a sky scrapper which was used by all tailors in the city. They operated in one place unless they had a shop to rent which was quite impossible the shop rentals in Harare were outrageous. He got out of his car and majestically walked into the building and by the way he was walking it showed he knew where he was going and who he was going to see.

"The great giant" a man as huge as Sala said walking towards him

"Chibabababa chimdara chacho" Sala said cheerfully opening his arms.

The huge men hugged and caught up for a while before proceeding to business as usual. The man Sala had come to see was Philip Mushonga. He and Sala had known each other for a while he was Augustine's personal tailor. Sala had his clothes tailor made due to his huge build and he also possessed a very unique taste in fashion.

"My brother it has been ages, I can't say I have not missed you" Sala admitted

"Me too my friend" said Philip

"So, what do I owe this visit" Sala said chuckling

"You and your boring jokes" Philip said laughing "now I remember why I like you so much" he added

"I guess some things never change mon ami" replied Sala

"So how may I be of service to you?" asked Philip

"I would like you to make this for me" he said handing Philip a piece of paper. Philip looked at it then back at Sala

"I'll have this done by tonight" he said

"I can always count on you" Sala said and left
