Lahat ng Kabanata ng LT. Chris Angeles - Monster Among Men (Detective Series): Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

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

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.

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?"

Three more victims in the last two weeks. All citizens of Burton Grove, all female, within the age of nineteen to twenty-five. Each of them are considered as rising stars in their own field. All beautiful, young women, with promising future. All of them died the most horrible way possible. Slaughtered like animals. Beaten without mercy. How could someone be so cruel, and heartless?Those are the questions that has been bugging Oliver's mind since the killing started. How he miss those days when everyone can simply roam around. When the streets of Burton Grove was still safe. Now, no one wants to walk alone. Parents are guarding their daughters almost twenty-four hours. Social gatherings are banned until the serial killer was found, as well as the curfew.But, to make the situation much worst, Oliver's auntie fell ill. Her health diminished drastically, and now, she's back at th hospital. This situation added to Oliver's depression. Going back and forth from police stat

I never doubted my capacity as a detective. Whenever there is a problem, or a difficult case, all I have to tell myself is that I can do it. That I am a good detective. But, when the serial killing started, I lost my self-confidence little by little. The idea of the realization that I can't protect my family terrifies me so much.No one knew about the real reason why I wanted to be a detective. I didn't even tell Oliver about it. Not because I just don't want him to know. But, because I couldn't get myself to talk about it.-Flashback-It was the spring break, and I thought that since my family had a very different idea than what I actually wanted. So instead of staying at home, while they visited Melissa's favorite place. I packed my tent, and my camping gear. Oliver and I has been camping together since we were six.The wooded area of Burton Grove is not too far from our house, so our parents allowed us. Oliver's family took to a short vacation, so I ha
