The Darkest Obsession Chapter 28: The Maestro
Fucking ball! I leaned into my black office chair and kicked away from the wooden table. I let out a sigh as I stared up at the silver chandelier that hung from the ceiling. My study was quiet, just like it always was. The only sound coming from the buzz of the air-conditioner as it blew in cool air. I had popped the first two buttons of the black shirt and loosened the band on my jet black hair earlier. I brought my hand up to run through the length of my hair. I might need to trim it, now that this ball's coming up. This is the one thing I wasn't able to stop when I assumed head of the Black Rose. This stupid fucking ball. Ballo del Diavolo. Ballo del Diavolo.I sat properly to lean across my table and grab the pack of cigarettes and lighter I'd placed there. I was just about to light a stick that was already in between my lips when I heard a rasp on my door. I didn't bother raising my voice, just muttered a flat "Come in," the grey coloured lighter in my hand sparking to life. E

"He really is a psychopath." I flipped through another sheet, going through some of the old record files I'd managed to grab before I'd lost access to the record room. Most of the case files were dated to some months back, and they were cases on mysterious murders, said to be linked to the Maestro. Every photo was the same story, the smooth cut along pale skin, like the blade had danced there. It was mostly around the neck or a slash on the chest. It was almost ritualistic, the way he liked to part flesh. I dragged a finger down a case file with the name "Blaq Jurion." The file read that he had a weapon and had tried to use it as self defense on whoever his attacker was. "Firing random shots and denting the whole house instead, however he managed to nick his killer on his arm," I read out loud, flipping the file to the next page. This had slowed down the movement of his killer, giving him some seconds to hit dial for the cops. My eyebrows shot up as I flexed my right fingers against

He had no restraints or limits, did he? I stared at the paper in my hands with a surprisingly cool demeanor, asides from how heavy my chest felt like. I'd opted to give him a benefit of a doubt, maybe the rose I'd seen the other day was just my imagination. Maybe, another dream or something. I had pushed back the incident, dismissing it for nothing important. I'd refused to acknowledged it. So stupid. I am so stupid.Why did I think the Maestro would let me be after being the person who poked at him first? Trying to ambush him at Drogo's place? What was I thinking? This wasn't a fucking show. "Get your shit together." I whispered to myself, crumbing the piece of paper within my hands and throwing it at the farthest corner of my bedroom. I walked around my bed, to my window, to make sure it was locked, before moving back to lay down.My bed didn't feel as comfortable as it usually was, now that I had a black rose and a creepy man in my head. I shifted to face the other side of the room

"Did we ever have an archivist?" I asked Kyle, knotting the lace of my boot properly, just before we got to the entrance of the station.Kyle looked sideways at me, fixing his tie as well and running a hand through his sandy brown hair. We'd met an hour ago to have breakfast before work, on Kyle's request. "We did. But it was a long time ago and the station haven't bothered with another since there were no applications for it."I hummed, straightening my posture and convincing myself why I couldn't turn back and run home to be comfortable. I had bills to pay and the people of New Haven needed people to protect them. "And those people involved me, Jude" I murmured to myself, pulling my lips into my mouth and releasing them immediately."Yes, let's do this." Kyle breathed, pulling one of the double doors open, to the station. My eyebrows met themselves when I heard Kyle’s sentence. He didn't want to here too? So the fatigue was everywhere then."I see." I nodded my head, sounding like s

I grunted as I flung a shard of glass that had managed to stick to the door panel, almost cutting myself in the process. "Didn't bother to come look for me?" My hand flew to my chest, to soothe my racing heart as I twirled to see Enzo right in front of me. I stood like that for a couple of seconds, against the car door and a hand on my chest. When I felt calm, I gritted my teeth and turned away from him."Not another crowd again. Ever." He muttered, walking around the car to get into the driver's seat. I didn't ask where he'd been, I wasn't sure if I wanted to know.*****"Things are escalating Jude." Kyle flopped on my couch, snuggling into some throw pillows. I'd met him just at front of my door when I was back from the station. "It's been a long day." I said, holding two bottles of soda, handing him one and taking one for myself. I pulled off my tie and laid it on the top of a chair. My hair band was next. I let out a sigh once the band was off and my hair was done my shoulders. I

Yes, fucking hell it was. Enzo made to pull his gun from his holster when I placed a hand on his arm, stopping him. "You can't just walk in there with a gun, you're going to aggravate the whole situation."Enzo looked at me like I'd grown two extra heads, "So we just go in there claiming peace?" They just smashed a car. And not just any car, a police van."I let out a scoff and opened the car door and said, "Yeah, well, you can't go in there firing your gun either."I slammed the door shut the moment I was out of it and palmed my holster, making sure that my gun was there. Holding a gun out might be a wrong idea, as it could send a wrong message. We needed to blend in before we could do anything about this. If not we'd be pounced on before we'd be able to do anything. Smashing up a police car wasn't a coincidence, it was an intentional action. I moved further, slowly towards the waft of smoke, not bothering if Enzo was behind me or not. It had faded a little now, leaving just the sme
