Indirect Introduction

Large grey eyes stared at me as if attempting to see my past and the many secrets it may hold. She gripped my hand tightly as if she we're afraid to let go. We continued our stroll down the beach in the dead silence of the night. Soon we arrived at her home, an expensive townhouse with ceiling to floor glass walls. I smirked to myself as she opened the door, thinking of all the things that we were going to be doing tonight. She immediately led me to her bedroom, smiling and giggling as she thought of all the things she planned to do to me. While I smiled thinking that our plans for tonight were going to be killer. I closed the door as soon as we entered and made sure to flip the lock. "Close your eyes sweetheart" I whispered and the sweet, trusting girl did as told. I approached her slowly making sure that she heard my footsteps as I got closer, until I stood behind her. I slowly took the weapon out of my pocket and hitting her over the head, effectively knocking her out. I placed her limp body on the floor and got to work.

Detective Lucy Faraahday made her way to the address that was given to her by her partner Detective Mercutio. She pulled up to the gruesome scene with no idea what was in store for her. She made her way through the hordes of people and paparazzi that surrounded the home. With the way they were acting you'd think the president had died she thought. Making her way further into the house noting things as she went. As she ascended the stairs she heard the deep booming voice of her Chief giving orders. She quickly made her way up as she heard the obvious irritation in his voice. She walked into what would seem to be a bloody murder scene if not for the fact that she could see the paramedics working on the victim in the top right hand corner of the room. She looked dead but it seemed she was very much alive. The room walls were all glass which was covered in what appeared to be the Vic's blood. It was splattered all over the room, all over the walls and the furniture. But none on the bed. Instead of blood it held a small scrap of paper which I couldn't see what was written on it from where I was standing. The chief finally noticed my arrival and started filling me in on all the details of the attack. Victim was Stacy Hargrave, age nineteen, attends the local college and is currently in a on and off relationship. She met her attacker at the pub in the town, took him home to have some fun and what do you know he turns out to be a psychopath. She didn't remember any distinguishing features about her attacker, didn't get a good look at him and he was abnormally large. I slowly walked up to the bed looking at the scrap of paper that was resting in the middle of the large bed. "Let's play again sometime" it said as if it were taunting me. It's the third time this month the bastard struck. All in different parts of the city and all of them with the same M.O. Young girl just started college, lives alone, blonde hair and has grey eyes. The only connection between all his victims was him, they didn't know each other and they didn't go to the same college. It was really a big mystery and it was giving me a headache to try and puzzle it out. I nodded my head to the chief as I made left the room to go speak to the maid who found the Vic.

"Sophia Ortiz?" I asked her "Hi I'm detective Lucy Faraahday I'll be investigating the attack on your boss, Stacy Hargrave."

"When you arrived did you see the attacker Ms Ortiz?" I asked

"No all I saw was a dark looming shadow across the street when I came, it was making me uneasy so I hurried inside and called for Miss Hargrave. When she didn't answer I started to get uncomfortable so I went upstairs and found her on the floor like that. Bloodied and unconscious. I thought she was dead" she says tearfully "I immediately rushed downstairs and called 911"

"Was there anyone suspicious hanging around recently?"I asked her attempting to gain some information

"No one unusual, it was the same as always"she responded

"Why were you here at this late hour Ms Ortiz? I asked

"I always make her dinner at this time every night since she hired me"she responded

"Is there anyone that can confirm this?"I asked her

"Yes " she replied "my boyfriend Marco"

"Okay. Thank you so much ms Ortiz " I replied

I worked my way throughout the house forgoing returning to the crime scene. I couldn't help but wonder what the hell could possess someone to do this. Well it was my job to figure it out. I guess my novel at home would just have to wait.

Sighing to myself I slowly alerted the chief of my departure half an hour later. I made my way to the station knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep even if I wanted to. I figured I could at least do something worthwhile with my time and just work on the cases. I waved at the dispatch officer as I made my way into the building. Heading to the elevator and made my way to the small work area I shared with Daveid. The files lay across my table in a messy organized manner, the pictures of his victims lay on top of everything and it took all I had in me not to let it get to me. We've been trying to catch him for two years now but he seems to always be a hundred steps ahead of us. We had no clues, no evidence, no witnesses, no suspects, so basically nothing but the broken women that he left behind.

I smiled to myself as I made my way home in a hurry to see the big bad detective faraahday on the news. I knew she'd take the bait and grab for this case. I've been enjoying toying with her and making them think they could catch me. She was like an inferno to my hollow frigid heart, the angel to my demon giving me utter peace with my chaos. She was the Jackie to my Wilson and there was no-one better fit for her than me. She was the light that shined into my darkness and woke me up. I just knew she was mine from the moment I first saw her three and a half years ago. She looked so beautiful in her uniform I just couldn't help but be smitten. She wasn't even aware of my stare or my presence but I soon made plans to change that. It took me a year and a half to perfect my technique and I slowly attracted her attention. I watched as she went into her first scene as a detective,I couldn't have been more proud of her. I watched from the sidelines as she commanded everyone's attention and completely owned the place. I was so enticed by her I almost approached her bit luckily I was able to control myself beforehand. She was completely under my control and was all mine.She just didn't know it yet but that was soon going to change. I was tired of letting her slip by me when I could have her by my side forever and when it happens only with death do we part.
