Emma’s POV
After meeting with Stanley and Emily, I bade my parents goodbye. I have to drop Kate off, it was already 8:30am.
I quickly drove her back to Melissa’s house. The door was exactly like it was yesterday. Maybe Melissa is not yet back.
I could see Kate’s face, she was worried. “If she is not back by afternoon call me?” I said to lighten her mood.
I sped to the hospital, we had agreement to meet by 9am. The drive to Winster county hospital was like the fastest drive I have ever had.
Many drivers cursed at me as I drove past them, but who cares? When I got there, everyone was there already.
Vin’s POV
We have put the sheriff in the morgue. We have to prepare for his funeral but that would be after catching that son of a bitch.
We have been waiting for some time, Emma is the de facto leader since he even ranks above the sheriff.
He will direct us on the next action to take, how to interrogate Chris and the a
Agent Tom’s POV “Now that he has been exposed, I think he will go all out. What we need to do now is to identify what triggered his killing instincts,” I explained. Vin’s POV “Find his trigger?” I asked. I am confused by the whole trigger stuff. Emma’s POV I already had an idea of what the trigger might be. Could it be the death of Kate’s mother? “What would he do with the people that caused the trigger?” I asked to know the best thing to do. Agent Tom’s POV “Now he is like a wounded viper, he would try to take down as many people as possible,” I explained. Emma’s POV My eyes widened due to anxiety. “I think Melissa is in trouble! She had a role to play in the trigger. She has not come home since yesterday. I dismissed it as nothing,” I said. Based on the story my parents told me yesterday, Melissa played an important role in his development of being a killer. But on a second thought, we
Alyssa’s POV I have seen many patients, but I have only seen few that are brave like Kate. She was not afraid to open the memory. After sometime, “ I can’t am scared” she said as I urged her to open that box. That was probably the cause of her injury. Kate’s POV For some reasons, I carefully avoided this particular box of memory. She kept urging me to open it. I was afraid. Later I did. I saw exactly how the accident happened 19 years ago. I was seated at the back chair, a truck ran into us. My parents and I survived. Then the truck driver came out, he walked to my parents and smashed their heads against the car door. Then he took something from them. He was coming for me too, it was then that I saw his face, it was Smith. Then I faintly heard the police siren at a distance, he ran away. I kept hearing Alyssa’s voice as she guided back to consciousness. Alyssa’s POV “That was quick,” I complimented her.
Emma’s POV I was following the whole interrogation from outside the room. Kayla is doing a good work. I checked my watch it was 11:40am. I wanted to call Kate but I decided not to. I will call her after the interrogation is over. So I relaxed and followed the interrogation process. Kayla’s POV “What did he have you do?” I asked. “All sort of illegal stuff and murder. He ordered the assassination of Mary, attempted assassination of Kate and the murder of Albert.” Basically, we have gotten the evidence and statement to put Smith behind bars for the rest of his life. Since the murder of Albert was what broke the Pandora’s box, I wanted to know more about it. “About Albert, what really happened?” I asked. “I don’t really know, the boss was not interested in killing Albert. However he discovered the boss’s secret so he had to kill him,” he answered. Emma’s POV When I remembered that Old Morgan died before this case w
Emily’s POVI couldn’t agree more. The park was scanty when we came but we managed to enjoy ourselves.“Okay Mr Stewart, let’s go!” I said excitedly.Stanley’s POVThe settlement was rescheduled. I boarded a flight back. I was already on the driveway back to Winster county.Emily has been posting a lot of pictures on her Instagram. “She is really having a good time with my parents at the park.” She kept tagging me in all the post.Then I saw her incoming call. I quickly picked it up.“Baby I had a good time today at the park…it was really scanty but your parents made it lively..” then I couldn’t hear her again. I heard what sounded like a thud.I heard whimpers, “what is going on?” I asked. No response. I quickly sped up car…Emily’s POVI was on call with Stanley. I did not pay attention to the door since I was the p
Smith’s POV “Softhearted people are the first to die. You are now going to question my orders?” I asked Tanner. Because I could see hesitation in his eyes. “No boss,” he answered. We drove and parked outside the street and walked to the Stewart’s house. It has been many years, but the memory of these house has not left me even for once. Tanner’s POV “Boss, how do we enter?” I asked. I was confused. The boss stood at the frontage for few minutes as though he was reminiscing about some important things. He laughed with a wicked grin, “of course I have my ways.” Smith’s POV I remembered the secret window behind the building. Back then, Charles usually use it for meditation; so he usually leave it open or partially closed. I quickly rushed to the window, thankfully it was open. I jumped in and Tanner followed suit. I thought of the best place to position ourselves for the attack. I remembered the laughter on
Melissa’s POV For the first time, since I was abducted I was afraid for my life. The person standing before me now is not a human being. He is a monster! I started shivering. For once I wished that I would be imbued with some superpowers to break free. “What do you want from me?” I asked. He laughed me, the sound echoed through out the room. “Am the boss around here,” he instructed while wringing my ears. The next statement he made, made me even more afraid. Smith’s POV “ Do you remember our good friends from high school? they will be joining us today.” I can literally feel the fear from Melissa. I am enjoying this. For me hunting is much more fun , when the prey is fearful of the predator. “Dear sister, do you remember the tale of the antelope and the lion?” Melissa’s POV Whatever he was saying was not coherent at all. “Don’t tell me you have forgotten?” he jeered. “Well, if you have really forg
Emily’s POV I woke up to find myself in an unfamiliar environment. I tried to open my eyes, it seemed like they were gummed together. Obviously compressed by the incessant headache. It was as though my head was been hit with a hammer. It penetrated my skull and affected my eyes making me to be momentarily blind. I could only see hazily. The light rays were directed to my face. Finally I regained consciousness. “Where am I?” was the first question I asked myself. I slowly recalled what happened earlier. “It is Smith,” was the melancholic response. I painfully tried to turn to the direction of the sound. The manner I was tied up was causing excruciating pain in my knees and hands, maybe because of the twisted movement I made earlier. Mr and Mrs Stewart were still unconscious. The subconscious survival instincts kicked in. I was trying to break free from where I was bound. “Don’t waste your energy. I suggest you conserve your stre
Emily’s POV “Mr Stewart! Mrs Stewart! How are you doing?” I asked as they opened their eyes. They were perplexed but tacit. From the looks of it, this is not the first time they been in this situation. The blood on Mr Stewart’s head have coagulated into lumps. Mr Stewart’s POV When I opened my eyes, I was dazed. The last thing I remembered, was coming into my house and getting hit. I saw that the method used to tie me and Camilla were different from that used on others. The abductor is definitely is a professional. I looked around and saw Melissa. The look of desperation in her eyes already told the story. Melissa is a strong character to deal with. If Melissa is this desperate then, the situation is impregnable. Mrs Stewart’s POV Seeing Melissa here brought old memories back. It was though we have turned back the hand of time and time travelled to the past. The only difference is that Collete and Smith
