Jason Gerard, the CEO of HolyMan continued to stare at the place Tess had been.
"Who was that crazy lady? He asked Luke.
"She's a cop."
"I know, she said that. You called her Theresa, that means you know each other." He stood up to level with Luke.
"We were classmates."
"Mitch, Eva, he's likely to wanna come out through that entrance. I don't want him out of this building!" She said through the receiver.
"Understood."
"I got him, I need back up." Tess said as she saw Will walking hastily with his briefcase. She ran up to him and stopped him.
"You psycho, you're under arrest as a suspect for the murder of Anna Bolton," she said calmly as she tried to predict his next move.
He smiled inwardly and tried to make a run for it when he saw Eva and Mitch in front of him. David was standing by his far left while Caleb was beh
"You have to do this!" Barb yelled at her daughter. "You need a man!""No, I don't. Men are liabilities, they're like cars that you have to maintain. I don't want that.""Just this once," she pleaded. "I already told him that you were coming.""Why would you say that? What if it wasn't my day off?" She brushed her hand through her head tiredly. "Why is he so important to you?" "When I got divorced, the money I got from my alimony wasn't enough for us to move, settle down and continue living the way we were before. His grandmother helped me." "This is why I hate being in debt to someone!" She walked upstairs abruptly."Does that mean you're going?" When it was six on the dot, Tess freshened up and began to get ready for her date. After a warm bath, she straightened her hair really well that it was just a little bit above her
She was disgusted by the sight she saw. Eva couldn't handle it. She was full on crying mode. The body was badly mutilated. She was a blonde high school student, well not anymore. Her left eye was gone. Her left breast was also missing. Her blood was still there. That area was a blind spot. There were no cameras there. A lot of robberies had occured there.The psycho really picked out a nice spot. "What have we got?" Tess asked her team."Nothing, absolutely nothing." Caleb replied."Here's the report from forensics," Mitch gave Tess and Caleb a file each. "She was raped." Caleb said as Eva released more tears."So, after raping her, he plucked out her eye, cut off her breast and hit her head with a strong impact." Tess read as David ran to the toilet and was heard puking."That kind of impac
Tess's patience was really tested."What do you mean?" She yelled in the captain's face."This order came from above," he said and she scoffed. "You are ordered to work with them or you hand the case over to them." Max and two rookies stood with boxes in their hands."Fine, but if they get in my way, you'll see blood." She walked out of the gathering. She drove back to the scene of the crime. This body was also dumped on the same spot that the previous one was found.She looked around for a while before going back. When she got back, she walked straight to Diana,"Hey, can I see the footage for this week?""I'm sorry but not yet," she said."Why not?""Well, somebody knocked their smoothie all over my computer and also refused to apologize!" Diana said angrily shooting lasers at one of the guys that
"We have a search warrant!" Tess yelled and dropped the paper in his hand as they forced their way in. He had been refusing to let them in since they arrived. It was a small house. The backups that arrived started searching the entire house. After 2 hours, they reported back to her."We didn't find anything.""That's impossible. Criminals like him hide their victims part as souvenirs." She wore a glove and pushed them out of the way. She walked into his kitchen and searched around, nothing. She went to his bedroom and started her search. After a few minutes, she lost her footing and collapsed onto the floor. It led out a little creak and she looked around, confused. She moved his bed and saw a opening underneath."I need you in here," she yelled. The opening looked like a door to a basement. She pulled the door open and went down through the ladder.
"He grabbed your what?" Jason asked for the third time."I won't repeat it." She said over the phone.She was currently at her house preparing for work."Can't you get another job?" He murmured."What did you say?" She smiled."Nothing.""I'll stop by your office before I go to work.""Why? You miss me?""No, idiot." She rolled her eyes. "I have to give your grandma something." Tess arrived the same time Jason and Luke arrived at his office. She was holding a large box in her hand."Hey," Jason greeted."Here," She extended the box to him."What is it?" He collected it and placed it in his car."No idea, bye," she turned."Wait!" He pulled her hand. She looked at the area where their skin made contact and he removed his quickly and murmured a low,'sorry'. He collected a box from Luke and handed it ove
Luke and Johnson sat across each other and Tess took her seat beside Johnson. They were looking at each other closely. Johnson looked like he was about to murder Luke while Luke looked on calmly. "You said you wanted to see me," Tess faced Johnson."And yet you brought him?" Johnson scoffed."He's a jerk, I know. Why did you wanna see me?" Johnson closed his eyes for a second and opened them again."Here she is," he waved at a lady who came to join them at their table."Hey Tess," Alessia greeted before looking at her side. "Luke?""Hey," he smiled."You were in NY? How come we never met?" He smiled in response."What is this? A high school reunion?" Tess asked as she called a waiter. After placing their orders, there was complete silence."Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?" Johnson asked Alessia."It's
"How did you know he didn't kill them?" Diana asked."The girl said the person talking to him seemed like his boss. Moreover, the DNA found under one of the girls fingernails doesn't belong to him." She explained as she drove them back to their quarters. "It's yet to be identified but it isn't his. The only thing we can pin on him is kidnapping." "So he has a boss?" Caleb said, stroking his chin. "I just said that.""Why did you rile him up like that?" Diana asked out of curiosity."Criminals like him have a motive when they kidnap. Didn't you notice him looking at us? He also grabbed my... y'know. He's sexually frustrated." She pulled in their parking lot. "I figured, since he didn't kill them, someone else must have also slept with them. "Wow, we're so lucky to have you here. I bet they liked you in Texas too," Caleb said. They entered their quarters thro
"Can I get discharged now?" She asked one of the nurses."No, you must at least spend the night here," she smiled sweetly."Thanks," she walked gently back into her room. "Of course, trust me Barb. I'm gonna stick to her like gum," Johnson said on the phone as he winked at her. "Just have a goodnight, I'm with her. Yes, bye." He disconnected the call. Luke and Jason were on the couch."Was that my mom?" She asked as she took a seat."Yeah, I had to tell her," he sighed."Now, everyone leave." She gestured to the door."Do you think I was joking when I said I was staying here with you?" Jason removed his coat mad rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. Luke removed his tie and opened the briefcase. They sat on the floor and brought out their papers. Johnson crossed his legs and sat on the couch. Tess brought out her phone and tried to FaceTime Caleb.
