There are times that I'd see Mary Sue, and I would want to talk to her so badly. We used to have good times together. I could still remember how we first met. She was the teacher whose student got abducted in the middle of school hours. She was so freaked out that time that she was taking it out on our officers.
But then we got the chance to turn things around. We started going out and got pretty close. But then the killings began. I got so focused on my job that I neglected to give her enough attention.
Now that I'm seeing her dating other guys, I feel like crap. I feel so stupid for letting things between turn sour again. But I can't do anything about it right now. We have a serial killer on the loose. Theodore hasn't come. We've been visiting his house a few times, and he's always not at home.
How could I even get a life if we're handling cases like this? But I wanted this job since I was a kid. I can't complain just because I can't get a girlfriend. My ti
Narrator's POV Theodore was finally transferred to Burton Grove. Oliver has been giving the evil eye. He looks like a ticking time bomb that will go off anytime soon. Chris has been with Oliver the entire time. And Theodore is not making things easy by keeping eye contact with him. They've tried to interrogate him, but he just keeps giving some smart-ass remarks then lawyered up. Even Chris felt that he's about to explode, so he had to step out of the interrogation room. Chris realized that giving in to Theodore's taunts and insults will just give him even more satisfaction. "Can I just kill him now? I want to kill him now!" Oliver angrily exclaimed as he stares at the interrogation room. "I wish it was that easy. Because if it is, I'll blow his brains out myself." Chris responded while breathing deeply. Oliver's niece was one of his victims. But there's no way for them to prove his involvement. He won't talk to them anymore after pissing them
I couldn't let my best friend become a murderer. And I know that if I leave him alone by himself, he will do something he might regret in the end. Oliver may be scary when he's angry, but he is not a killer. He can knock someone to sleep or break a bone when he gets into fights. But he is not a killer.Now, all we could do is monitor his every move. And even that, we need to do it in secret. We can't risk him leaving town again because we may never find him again. And, I need to keep an eye out on Oliver."Chris, I am not going to kill him. You don't have to be my bodyguard." I almost laughed because of Oliver's expression."Yes, I do. So shut up and hurry. We're going to be late."Oliver shook his head and put on his jacket. After spraying his favorite cologne, we both walk out of his front door and to our car. Ever since we left his house, Oliver didn't say anything again.When we arrived at the police station, we saw Miller and Guzman. Of course
Oliver has been awfully calm and that makes me even more nervous. I've known Oliver for the longest time and I've come to learn that whenever he's calm in the midst of the storm is not a good thing. All I could is look out for him and make sure that he won't do anything dangerously stupid.I love Oliver like my own brother and there's nothing that I will not do for him. Even if it comes to giving my own life for him. That's how close we are. And in times like this, I will not let him fall into the deep end. We have a lot of things to do in order to find the killer.But I'm not crossing Theodore Burnett off the list just yet. Both Oliver and I still feel that there's something about him. We both don't understand why Theodore stands out whenever we think about a suspect. Even though we can't find any evidence that can prove his guilt, we will not just let what we feel go."Chris, someone's looking for you. You might want to get in here." One of our police of
Work. That's the only thing that is occupying my mind these days. Well, there's another one. Keeping Oliver in check. I don't want him falling off the rails and do something crazy or stupid, or both.But there are days like today that we have nothing else to do. And I still chose to stay at the station. I don't even understand why because I can go home early or go somewhere else. Yet, I'm still here, sitting in my desk going through all the information we have gathered. Even though we've gone through all of it, and I know that doing this is just plain stupid."Chris, Oliver, we're going to the pub. You guys wanna come?" Norman announced on his way to the lobby."Oli, let's join them. Come on." Oliver was busy watching all the traffic cam footage he gathered yesterday. He wanted to see if he can map out the locations that the pick up truck had visited."I've got a lot things to do, Chris. You go ahead and enjoy.""Oh, come on. Aren't your eyes hurti
Hundred hours worth of traffic cam footage. That's what waiting for us when we got back to the station the next morning. And the massive hang over that Oliver and I feel is totally not helping. We got out of control last night and had too much to drink. After reminiscing about our childhood, and laughing at me the memory of our stupidity, it felt like we consumed half the liquor stock at the pub. Now, we're both blaming each other for feeling like our heads are about explode. "Damn! Oh! My head!" Oliver complained. "This is your fault, Oli. I told you that we should stop on our fourth bottle of whiskey." I responded while massaging my temple. "Man, we should have stopped on our second bottle. Damn! I need another coffee. Oh, God!" Oliver ran to the pantry to get himself another coffee. God, it's his fourth cup. Because of dizziness, I leaned back to my recliner and closed my eyes. But even with my closed, I can still feel the world spinning ra
After the discovery of the newest body at the riverside, the whole Burton Grove Police Department made the serial killer case as a top priority. Especially, after Guzman recognized the victim as one of the missing person he's been working on. Turns out that the serial killer is widening it's range. Because the last victim was from the town next to Burton Grove. Because of this, I don't have any other choice but to work with Guzman.Guzman, who is miraculously not acting like the jackass he is. I've been working with him since yesterday, and he was behaving nicely. He's also being unnaturally cooperative. Maybe, Kevin wants to catch the serial killer as much as I do. That we finally found a common ground."Hey, Chris! Check this out." I was in the middle of making my coffee when I heard Kevin calling me."Yeah?""That pick up truck you've been obsessing about? It looks like it's been seen in multiple places. Look, this is from a highway near the reservoir.
The Angeles family is having a small celebration. They've invited some of their relatives, who lives nearby, to celebrate with them. It's the wedding anniversary of Chris' parents. Melissa handled the decoration of their garden, and she did an excellent job. Mark and Jeffrey sent their parents to do shopping and enjoy themselves. And when they got back, the guests has already arrived.It was a small celebration, a close family only. Jeffrey hired a catering service to handle the food, Mark set up a sound system for the music. Chris was still asleep, and they were all aware that he went drunk last, again. Mark was worried about his brother. He's been coming home drunk almost ever night. Chris has a problem, he can feel it."Chris is still sleeping?" Mark asked Melissa."Yes. He's not doing well this past few days, Mark. I'm worried about him.""So am I. Something's wrong.""I will talk to him."Mark nodde to Melissa. Their conversation was in
Family is everything for Melissa. The love that she has for her parents, and her siblings, especially Chris. Melissa loves her brother in equal measure, but it's Chris who'os closer to her. Even when they were children, Mellisa would be with Chris. During his practice, even when he's participating on school events. She doesn't have a boyfriend until now, because her standard was alway based on what Chris is.She wanted a man just like Chris. Sweet, loving, caring, loyal, and most importantly, brave. There bond is so tight that it's Melissa who always sees whenever Chris has a problem. She's always the one who's there for him."Chris, we need to talk." Melissa intentionally waited for him to come home so she could talk to Chris."Not now, Mel. I'm so tired.""Yes, now. Something is wrong with you, and you don't want to admit it. Do you think I can't see it? You're at a breaking point. You either go home drunk, or you go home pissed. What're wrong, Chris?"
