Chapter 2: Chapter 2 : Where is the killer?
Chapter 2:
Loud sirens could be heard outside the building where the poor Old man was killed.
The whole building was surrounded from all directions by the Police and SWAT agents to catch the famous anonymous killer. The reason why the killer was so famous was because, not even a single soul had seen or any camera had ever captured the killer with their naked eyes.
It was as if the killer would just visit the victim, kill them and leave the crime scene without a single trace of him.
The other reason why the killer became so famous and known to the world was because he would always kill powerful and famous entities ranging from a business man to a politician. He had killed several poor victims in his own killing method.
His killing methods would always be different from his prior techniques. He would kill his victims in a very complicated way that even the medical inspection team would not be able to figure out and have a tough time finding the reason of the victim's death.
His methods of killing his victims would always be different but there would always be one similar pattern in all his killed victims and that pattern would be a 'Smile', a smile on its victim's face.
All the poor victims that were killed by him, would always have a bright smile on their dead faces. No one had ever been able to see the killer or even saw him kill his victims. Not even a trace nor a single finger print on the crime scene. It is as if the victim was killed by just killed by thin air.
Even more creepier part of this killer's method of killing is that he always sends a sticky note to his victims in a period of 13 days.
Those days were sometimes consecutive and sometimes non-consecutive. These sticky notes would contain the whole process of how the killer had planned to kill the victim. But each of the sticky note would only contain a consecutive part of the drawing like the first sticky note would only contain the victim's drawing without a face, the next sticky note will show which position the victim will be when the killer will finally strike and so on.
With each consecutive sticky note received by the victim, the drawing would reveal more and more details about the place and method of the killer.
And finally on the exact 13th sticky note, The Killer would strike its victim.
But the most surprising thing about these sticky notes was, that these notes were always magically delivered to the actual victim directly and not even once were the sticky notes lost or missing.
The killer had always been very cautious and no one had ever known about its whereabouts or when he is going to strike but this time the police was somehow informed and they were finally just a few minutes away from catching him.
The police and agents had surrounded the whole building from every nook to every corner and they are fully determined to catch the killer of the Poor fated old man, who was the CEO of the most popular and impactful automobile company in Chicago. And the killer? He was laying on the floor under the same roof as the CEO and in the same building which was surrounded by the police and swat forces.
The killer had killed lots of famous and powerful entities but this time he just had to choose the most impactful man in the whole country and not only that, he had to be careless enough to sniff his own killing drug. But was it possible for a killer who had never even left a single trace of his killing behind?
The main question was, Who? And How was the police and Interpol even informed about his activity?
The police started climbing and reaching the apartment, where the dead CEO resided and got in their position.
"THIS IS THE INTERPOL. WE HAVE SURROUNDED THE BUILDING!
GET YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD AND DROP ON YOUR KNEES!! WE ARE OPENING THE DOOR"
A young man in his late 20s handed over the microphone to another officer and gestured him to take the mic away.
This young man had a rough and manly appearance with his light brown hair sticking out from underneath his heavy face-mask. His sharp dark brown eyes glared at the entrance door to the apartment like they wanted to burn the door to the ground.
This young man had a proud tag written as 'Captain Henry'.
Despite his young age, everyone was still obeying him respectfully and listening to his firm orders. His presence emitted the aura of dominance. Raising his right hand, he gestured everyone to get in their position. His eyes focused at the door as he held his right hand in a tight fist as a sign of hold the position.
"umm sir? I mean captain? Shouldn't we knock before entering?"
Another youngster appeared across Henry. This youngster had a childlike figure with the name tag as 'Roy', he suddenly clung to the intimating captain and looked at him with his eyes full of curiosity.
"what the hell where did you appeared out from huh? Didn't I tell you to cover the other exit of the building?" the team captain scolded the young member of his own team. But he wasn't bothered by the sudden clinging of his junior. But everyone else watching them had their breath stuck in their lungs around the captain, fearing that their captain can snap at Roy anytime for the sudden non-serious attitude.
"butttt you do know how much I want to see this killer!! I mean I really wanna see that killer. Every time we try to catch him he slips away like he was never here! This time I really want to see him"
*where did he even appeared from so quickly? I didn't even noticed him approaching beside me*
the thoughts of the police team captain were disturbed by the beautiful brown haired and hazel eyed police boy who was looking at the captain with hopeful eyes.
"but seriously I mean what if the attack call was a prank. I mean which killer would be stupid enough to call the headquarters and inform about his plan to kill someone? Especially before killing the CEO of such a impactful company?"
*thud*
The conversation was disturbed when something fell inside the apartment. Everyone got alert at the loud sound that came from inside the apartment.
"shut you! You dumb idiot. GET TO YOUR POSITIONS AGENTS. ENTER THE APARTMENT ON THE COUNT OF 3.
1.
2.
3. GO!!!"
Smashing down the door of the apartment the police entered the room. The officers and agents all ran in different directions and searched up all the room for the killer but-
"search up all the rooms! Look upstairs and every cupboard or drawer! Find that psycho killer" the captain ordered everyone. He stood right in the middle of the large lounge of the apartment and looked around at all the agents who were barging in every room and corner of the apartment.
"yeah and toilets too!". Henry looked back at Roy, who was imitating the captain and pointed at random directions and ordered the agents as well. Hearing that, the captain hushed him off to work as well.
" you too! You idiot! You are also part of the crew here! If you want to see that GOD damn bloody killer that you were so curious about then go search for him! Or you will have to wait till someone else die and he magically appears on the scene and we get a call from a random person about it!"
Pushing Roy towards another room, Henry glared at him to get serious at work.
"Aye! Aye cap!"
Looking all worried the captain started to look around for some sort of clue or something
"Oh my GOD!!!!!"
Hearing Roy's loud scream, the Captain quickly ran to the source of the voice and went to the youngster's aid to see if he had found any clue or something.
Henry found Roy in the next room near the lounge, standing and shivering oddly near a drawer.
"What happened? Are you alright ?!" Asked the captain.
Roy slowly turned towards the captain to reveal what he was holding in his hands.
"I ...I .....I can't believe it! THIS GUY HAS THE ONLY VIDEO GAME I WANTED FOR YEARS BUT IT WAS ONLY MADE ONCE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!"
Suddenly hearing the youngster's craze for a 'video game', the captain was filled with rage and again scolded Roy.
"WHAT? Only a video game you punk! Stop yelling and scaring me! Now put that game away! And look around!"
Roy looked at Henry again with hopeful eyes and pleaded again.
"But please sirrrr lemme keep it!!!I want to play it with my younger sibling! Pleaseeee"
" ROY!"
Henry looked at Roy with a serious look and finally Roy got the signal.
"oh serious voice....fine I will put it back...." grumbling and mumbling about how much he wanted the video game Roy put the video game back to its original place grumpily and said with a pout
"oh and yeah there is a dead body in the next room."
" a what---" running to the said room the captain saw the corpse of the CEO half dangling from the couch all thanks to the vigorous shaking of a certain killer who was ranting about his death.
"no one touch anything in this room Everyone look around the whole room and search up for the killer! And you Roy! Come here! Tell me did you touched anything from here?"
"well I did check if he was dead or alive by ah .....ing him"
"You did what? Speak clearly!"
"I... well I kinda poked hi—"
"YOU POKED HIM—"
"him with my gun—"
"YOU POKED HIM WITH YOUR GUN? YOU IDIOT PUNK! Oh wait its fine if you poked him with it as long as you didn't touched him with your bare hands" suddenly Henry calmed down and looked at the corpse again.
" well I-"
"sire! We searched up all the apartment but we couldn't find a single soul or anything out of order. There is not even footprints in the house neither any open window or back door where he could have escaped." A new agent came and reported the current situation to the captain.
"what do you mean? You mean he just vanished in thin air?" The captain asked with a vexing expression.
"ooohhh did you checked the bathroom? What if he has to you know go and pee?"
the innocent looking officer asked with a little glint of hope in his eyes. In response, the captain and the new agent looked at him like he was a crazy man.
"and you expect him to still be sitting there and waiting for us?" inquiring the question the new officer asked the little guy.
"oh..... you are right." Hearing his response, both the captain and the new agent rolled their eyes as Roy just figured out the obvious fact.
"Damn it! I didn't get to see his face again...oh that damn cool killer... and there isn't even anything fun to see here hmph! I should have stayed at the office. Captain? when are we leaving? I am very hungry"
The captain looked at Roy again with surprise at how lightly he was taking the situation.
Hearing his ranting the captain was just about to say something when another officer came to report to the captain about the strange fact he found.
" sir, there is no sign of any bruise or wound on the victim's body. Not even any sign of any torture."
"spooky! Isn't it captain?" nudging the captain with his arm the little officer asked, maybe Roy was expecting a harsh reply or some scolding words but when the captain said "yeah" the officer was awestruck.
Henry looked at him with a confused look and asked
" so was he poisoned?". Expecting an answer from the new officer, Henry was disappointed when the officer shook his head and said;
"No, He didn't had even a single sign of poisoning, neither is any part of his body blue. We are sending the body to the inspection lab to further check up" hearing this new strange fact. Henry just gestured the new officer to leave.
" just what is going on the mind of this psychopath killer?. Its always like this..... Roy, go and look around if you could find anything that is related to this case and report it back to m—"
Not getting a response, henry looked at his side where Roy was standing earlier, only to find it empty.
He looked around, but there was no sign of Roy around him.
Heaving a deep sigh. The captain started to look around for some sort of evidence or anything that could help them have a lead to the killer. He was still trying to grasp the situation.
The captain seemed to be in a deep thought and was looking around the room when he suddenly spotted something on the ceiling it was a "CAMERA" on top corner of the ceiling and one in the other side and another one, a total of 6 cameras were spotted.
he quickly ordered one of the officer with the nametag 'joseph' to find the footage from the cameras.
