CHAPTER 25 The Convict
Ian can sense his partner’s discomfort as they were entering the vicinity of the prison establishment. Not that he broke into a sweat or was reluctant. But he grew unusually quiet, and stared blindly at the tower gate as if waiting to crush him.
Ian did not feel that way. For him a prison is a convenient closet into which some of the country’s worst assholes should be kept away. Away from the good citizens who just wanted to have safe and peaceful life. So, for him they deserve being there. That was still his firm conviction.
“ I believe we should go this way” Ian said leading to the right wing. They were already through with the formalities and then given the signal that they can proceed. As they are approaching another turn one of the guards came to show them to the visiting room.
Ian can’t get himself to believe what Peter had said about Meghan. How can

Chapter 27 She- Devil IIHe was the most recent addition to the faculty. Meghan went to him if he would tutor her for exams. He agreed. A tutor session they both agreed to take place at his flat.During classes, Meghan made sure that she got his attention in a different way. Her long legs stretched as she was inching up her short skirt showing a soft looking skin. Dimples on display as she sashayed up to the teacher’s desk. See-through blouse triggering anyone’s naughty imagination. She was completely irresistible. Two weeks went before she awakened desire in the only teacher at the school whom practically everyone like.After three tutorial sessions, he no longer kept a record of tutor fee hours. He received her in the flat already half undressed. Captured her with uncontrollable kisses, restless hands against her bare skin. Lit by tireless lust that burned his brain empty, indifferent to rules and regulations.Me
Prologue Run, run. Got to get away. If I stop, that will be the end of me. Damn it !why can’t I get my hands free! Another shot echoed over the treetops. They are closing in. shit!shit! I mustn’t let them hear me. My hands are tied hard and my mouth are taped. I kept running, the dark is blinding but I have to get away. I can’t see light ahead of the darkness . I ran and tumbled hitting branches falling into hard objects I rolled and tried to get up every time. And then I heard their voices, laughter. These hunters are enjoying themselves. It brought ecstasy to them the thought of cornered prey. Blood and sweat mix in my face but that was the least of my worries More shots. Chilling death is near. Birds flew in sudden panic. I don’t know how far have I gone. But I can hear their excited voices, as if knowing that the prize is within their grasp. But in their hands I know that a quick dea
Chapter 2 It Has BegunRaymond Sanders was a handsome and very attractive man, he has the charm and on top of all he has the wealth and fame. He very well knew that.

Women who are always willing, no objections to hearing about his latest business feat or acquisition. He loves seeing them at awe. Not only that ,but it always a great pleasure for him that he can easily convince women of his interest to have them in his bed.This time his sights are set on a woman with soft black hair .Her beautiful face was more pronounced by the make up she used or put by a professional beautician. The black dress clinging to her perfect body matches the black eyes. Very hypnotizing and alluring. But he has to behave himself, this party he was invited to isn’t an ordinary one. Wealthy and fa
Chapter 3 The Mysterious CallIt was only until he is at his desk and seeing piles of papers that Detective Ian Murray realized that his precious holiday is over. It was a refreshing and relaxing being in the countryside for weeks. His only sister had just got married and he needed to attend the event. For the remaining days he explored their town and experience the coast of Nantucket.As he slump himself to sit, he saw William walking towards him. “welcome back, boss” waving his hand with another sheets of paper. Another to add with the piles.He was looking directly at William’s lively, blue eyes. His hair neatly set as always. Looking as if to impress the very few females in their department.“ Well now!” William said, seeing his boss’s unhappy look. “you don’t look like you’ve just returned from a holiday.”“Have I?” shak

They have concluded their second year in the university and so time for leisure and pleasure.It had been planned that they would spend a week at one of the boys' parents cottage . there they brought their paraphernalia, a few sachets of crystalline substance or dried leaves of that kind, matches, tinfoil and some other things like movie discs, band recordings and didn’t forget to stocked up the fridge with beers and rations they will be needing for the whole week.There parents didn’t mind whatever they do.

But at the same time an
Chapter 5 The Meeting Overlooking his window at his city penthouse was the Central Park. This high end residential building is one of the massive properties of the Sanders family, and developed by The Sanders Development Company to which he currently is the CEO. He was set to have a meeting with Oliver and Lucas together with the private detective they hired to get information about Meghan. They are expected to arrive in an hour so he still have time to play with the wench sprawled in his bed. He can’t remember bringing the girl but who cares. They both had a goodtime. Brazilian , he surely guessed right. With all those enhancements, he can’t be wrong. Totally the opposite of the Asian he had as company the other night. Asians are mostly skinny with narrow hips and humble breast. This one grew robustly at curves more than necessary. When he had s
Chapter 6 : Dawn of Uncovering The TV screen at the police station was showing a documentary about a case of missing person. The reporter was expertly detailing the events that led to the uncovering of the mysteries surrounding the disappearance. He emphasized that the success of solving the case is due to the unwavering cooperation of witnesses and the victim's family as well as the devotion of the police force led by Detective Ian Murray. Detective efforts were praised but Ian felt hollow. He felt tired, the file in his hands seemed to be heavy . His mind is in fog ,his mysterious caller also left a message. His phone display said, I will meet you., but that was all. He knew it’s going to be a long day and of days to come. He went over the case again. Two young couple murdered, a very brutal double murder, with several children of prominent families as suspects, and nine years later one of these kids suddenly turned hi

Chapter 24 Glimpses“I am certain that private detective Bruno Wright was the one or any of his men, was the one who broke into my apartment five days ago.” Detective Ian Murray stormed at the homicide chief. The chief barely looked up at him. His focus was on the photograph of another woman who was assaulted the previous night. Her face was swollen and black marks were around her eyes.“I need a warrant, chief, I need to know who Bruno’s employer, or should I get it myself.”The chief released a heavy sigh. “Is this about the fifteen year old murder case ,Ian? Let it go, damn it. Even if Sanders or Davis hired a detective like Bruno, do you think that they will do it through right channels? Do you really believe that you can find their names even if you flip over his office?” the chief said. “ by the way how is your investigation about the woman who was beaten and thrown into a rubbis
Chapter 23 Careless…During the time that Lucas García worked as a casino operator, he had as many contacts as possible. But he did it in unconventional ways. His casino was just a front for his real high earning but illegal business. Drugs. He made sure that his business be protected. How did he do it? Blackmail or favor to favor tactic. He was confident and careful. He never had direct involvement to the illegal operation. He made a well-planned structure for his drug dealings.. he had trusted subordinates to work for him. As to his protectors, well, he dug into their closets and try to find skeletons. And yes, secrets on his palm as leverage. Only then that he can manipulate them and dance to his tune. Or his acquaintances knew people who were in trouble and help them in exchange of a favor. Not knowing that these people were selling their soul to the devil himself. Lucas knew how to select people, people who were beneficial
Chapter 22 ConfrontedNew York City is a small arena for people who are in the same field of work. Detective Ian Murray knew names and sometimes knew how they operate. Private detective Bruno is one of them. If he is to asked, he believes that Bruno fits the detective profile who can take a case of a missing person or should it be more appropriate to say hunting subjects .He was aware that someone was following him when he was out of the police station. And Bruno is not good at hiding or even disguising. He was aware that there is another party looking for Meghan and today had confirmed that it was Bruno and his men.Even when he was at Suzanne’s place he saw Bruno across the street that is why when he decided to leave he took another route.♡He saw Ian going up the building where the junkie prostitute lives. She is now a person of interest as reported by his men, she was heard calling Meghan’s name.
CHAPTER 21 The JunkieIan looked up at the brown old building, windows are patched by just any materials that can fit into it. It is four-storey building with many rooms. It wasn’t difficult to guess where Suzanne lived. He entered and walked up the staircase to the fourth floor.The door to the fourth floor was opened by gruff looking man. “Suzanne Craig, you say, follow me”. He led him past the stairwell and into a corridor with four or five doors. He pointed at one occupied by Suzanne. “We don’t like having police running around up here” he said. “what did she do?” the man was obviously wary with people visiting the place.Ian understand that this man earned cash on these small, crappy rooms. So he treated his tenants properly.“She is an important witness to a renowned case. I request that you give her the support she needs. Do you understand?”Did he understand
Chapter 20 That Little MistakeThe only time she could dream good dreams was after she’d been drinking. Which was one of the reason she did it.If she didn’t take a couple of generous gulps from the whisky bottle, then the outcome was assured. After dozing for hours with the voices whispering in her head, her mind would glide into the dark nightmares. Memories of a mother’s soft hair and a face rigid as stone, of a little girl trying to become invisible in the nooks and crannies of the family mansion. Horrible moments. Faded glimpses of a mother who simply left her.And when she awoke with sweat on her forehead and the rest of her body shaking with cold, the dreams had usually reach the point in her life where she turned her back on the privileges and false niceness. She wanted to forget all of that. That, and the time that followed.She came up from where she was holed up the whole evening, drag her suitcase
Chapter 19 Sweeping The Streets“I’d like to know who halted my investigation, Chief?”The homicide chief looked up through his spectacles, not interested to respond to the question.“I think, I should let you know that I’ve got uninvited guests in my home. Look at this.” Ian produced the photo he took on one part of his wall in his bedroom. “ I have let the forensic check my place.”The chief leaned back slightly to inspect the photo and the report of forensic findings which Ian brought along.“Someone wanted to scare me.”“Every policeman makes enemies along the way. Are you assuming that this has something to do with the case you are on now? There might be another potential reason beside that case or it might just be another juvenile prank.”“I’d like you to tell me who is shutting down my investig
