The New York police state department was more alive today than it was the day before and that was mainly because of the murder that had happened just last night. Every one was busy, every one was moving to and fro and in a hurry too, every one had some thing to do and most of them had to turn in to work much earlier today and some had chosen to stay here over night. Some like Tia and Aiden, they were the detectives assigned to this case and they had much of the pressure on them and Tia most especially, was putting in her heart to cracking this case. She knew there was a pattern so there had to be some sort of a clue, like a hidden message, some thing they could use to track down this serial killer and bring him down. One reason why she had refused to go home last night.
“I can not believe you guys actually stayed here the whole night.” Mark commented, coming into the detectives’ office and seeing Aiden just get

Saturday, the 7th of May.12:56pm.Skyline was used to being on the front covers of magazines, newspapers and tabloids, they wanted that and they earned that, but as of recent they had not been on the front covers for business related news, no, rather they had been on the front covers because of the controversy of the heir having returned after years of staying away. This news would not be dying down so easily.Chester sat uncomfortably in the back seat of the car, his arms and legs crossed and his face away from the tinted windows. He frowned in annoyance, once again his grand father had done as he pleased and he was sure that it had been him who had tipped the media that his so called heir would be visiting the company, grand father really did want him to stay back in this company and take over.Taking over the company was not an issue to him, after all it had been his father’s company once, what did not sit well with him was the way grand father
Undercover Missing
Sunday, the 8th of May.11:34amThere was some thing intriguing about Pamela Neil’s case that had Tia coming back and revisiting it, some of the unanswered questions and hidden clues regarding this particular case had brought her back to the house on Stone street, Tribeca to come have a chat with a family member, she was hoping she would get the chance to talk to Pamela’s younger sister, Trisha, because she seemed to know more about her sister than their mother did. This would be her third visit.Asides from the fact that her murder had been the first case assigned to her that had drawn up this string of serial murders, she did feel some kind of connection to the dead girl and her family, most especially to her aged mother since she herself had promised the woman that she would personally bring this criminal down, now she felt like she owed the family a lot.She pressed the buzzer two more times before taking a step back away from the door, sh
Undercover A Talk
Sunday, the 8th of May01:15pm.The office was not so bad, it was spacious and had an excellent view of the moving city below from the third floor. Chester stood at the centre of the room, taking in the sight and the careful arrangement of everything down to the paper weight on the very polished oak desk. The large sofa chair behind the desk backed the ceiling to floor windows and the amount of light that flooded in through the windows was enough to brighten up the place and it over shadowed the lights from the chandelier. He liked the place, he had to admit that it had been arranged to his taste and liking.He walked around the large desk, there was enough space between the chair and the windows to place another of this desk/ he knew what grand father wanted to do, he wanted to get him used to this kind of life style again so that he would come back but Chester was not ready to become some body’s puppet, working and slaving away to impress his grand fathe

Sunday, the 8th of May.01:47pmChester felt stressed, even though he had not done any work yet he still felt stressed, the environment was not friendly and it suffocated him as well. The suit was too uncomfortable, his hair itched, the shoes were too loud, tapping on the floors as he walked, his tie was too tight; he loosened that. The place smelled of work and pride, smelled of power and money and every thing else which his grand father loved and he did not so much.As he walked past the offices, he felt like the people who worked in here were some kind of trained robots, not supposed to speak because they kept their voices low and spoke in hushed tones, maintaining total silence when he walked by them, only to continue after he was out of sight but he could still hear some of them speak, they talked about him and only about him after he passed them.He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, the elevator was just too damn far even though it wa

Sunday, the 8th of May.04:10pm“No!” Trisha thundered in the interrogation room, slamming her palm on the table and standing up abruptly. “You will tell me why I had to be dragged all the way here from the park when I had explicitly made it clear to you people that I had a date to go to and still you stopped me!”“Trisha I will need you to calm down right now!” Tia also shouted, still seated and looking Trisha in the eye, anger and impatience evident in her eyes. “There was a reason why we had to bring you here and if you calm down…”“Then tell me, what is your excuse?”Tia sucked in a deep breath and continued. “And if you will just calm down, then I will explain every thing to you.”Trisha hesitated for a while, looking around the room and rolling her eyes before she sat down and crossed her legs, also folding her hands across her chest. She looked at Tia
Undercover Who's He?
10:16 pm“So what have you been busy with lately?” Chester asked her, trying to get a conversation going. He placed the two plates of food down on the counter and pulled out a seat for Tia.“Thank you.” She smiled and sat, then sighed before answering his question. “I have been busy with work lately, that is what I have been doing.”“Hmm…” He sat opposite her and grabbed a bottle of wine from underneath the counter, giving Tia a coy smile with one eye brow raised. She chuckled. “I usually keep this in handy, you never know when a beautiful lady might pop in and you have to make dinner for her.” He winked.“Ohh… so you have done this before.” She smirked at him.“What..? oh no, no. You can see that the bottle is new, unopened and still full.” He defended, she had twisted the meaning in his words.She leaned in closer and whispered, locking her ey

Monday, the 9th of May.08:12amThe continuous buzzing sound from her phone disrupted her sleep and her eyes shot open, she rolled over unto her stomach and closer to the dresser, then stretched her hand to reach her phone. She grabbed it, and without checking the caller ID, she slides on the receiver icon.“Hello,” Her voice was hoarse and her throat felt dry. She cleared her air ways and tried again. “Hello?”“Hey Tia,” The voice on the other end of the line was familiar, very familiar and she had recently spoken to this person, even just yesterday. Her eye brows furrowed.“Chester?”“You recognized my voice,” He chuckled on the other end, she could hear some bustling sound coming from his end and could guess that he must be at the coffee shop.She propped up on her elbows. “How did you get my number? I do not remember giving it to you.”He laughed. &ldqu

Monday, the 9th of May.10:33pmThe club was packed today as it had always been, the people loved coming in here, one for their esteemed reputation and for the fact that it was a popular place but it was not local, they had their rules and they had their guide lines. It was mad expensive but still managed to be fully packed every other night with most of their spenders being the older men who would come in here in their numbers, looking to have some fun and Skyline made sure that they always provided them with the most fun which would always keep them coming back the following evening.Skyline club employed several girls to offer services to the men who spent extravagantly and no, sex was not enforced on the girls to offer to the men, that option was totally self voluntary but only a few men requested that of the girls, they wanted to spend, they wanted to be seen spending, they wanted to be envied and they wanted attention on them, Skyline gave them all of that

Monday, the 16th of May.01:12 pmThe pain was minimal but he felt it, it was the first thing he felt when his eyes opened because it throbbed, and so did his head. It was a little too bright in here so he could only open his eyes slowly until they could adjust to the brightness. He took in a deep breath, enjoying the flow of air through his lungs but what he did not like was the smell that flowed with it, it smelled of drugs and medicine. He moved his arm and only then did he realize that somebody’s head was resting on it, he turned his head and the person lifted hers, he was surprised seeing her there beside him but he was also happy. He smiled.“Chester,” She said, standing up close beside him and holding on to his hand. “Are you alright? Feeling much better?”“Tia, you’re here?” He wanted to sit up but she held him down to the bed, he winced.“You’re hurt, stay, don’t move.&rdquo
Undercover Messy
Saturday 14th of May02:02 pm.Chester did not look surprised at all by what Aiden had just revealed, although he had not known it before hand but he had made a guess, there were only two boys in the Hunt family; himself and Michael, so it was not that difficult to figure it out, but he story behind that, behind how Michael had come to live with them was a surprise no doubt, and he wondered if Michael already knew about it.Aiden got up and walked towards Daniel. “Well now that you all know the story and the reason I had to do this,” He turned directly to Tia who stood rooted to the ground in utter disbelief. He smiled. “You cannot leave this house alive, I’m afraid none of you will.”“Aiden,” Tia called him with a shaky voice. “My… my daughter Aiden… she’s only a child…”He waved a hand in the air to stop her. “I had no intentions to hurt her and I was not the o
Undercover Past
Saturday 14th of May12:52 pm.The tension in the room weighed down on all of them, most of all Chester, who was on the ground with his grand father in his arms, he was pained and he was angry, the surprise of seeing the detective Aiden come into the room in support of Daniel who had shot his grand father, had vanished from his eyes, in its place was anger. Raw, mad anger and he was struggling to contain it. His eyes never left the detective as both of them glared at each other. More than anything, Chester wanted to storm over to him and rip his heart out and then he would deal with Daniel later.“You both look surprised.” Aiden said with a chuckle, glancing over at Tia who stared at him like she wanted to put a bullet in the middle of his head. “I know it is a lot to take in.”“Why are you doing this Aiden? You are a police detective.” Tia said.“This is the only reason I had become a detective Tia,
Undercover Crumbling
Saturday 14th of May12:12 pmThe ward was empty, the crumpled sheets suggested that she might have not been gone for so long but the fact was that she was not here and even the nurses did they know where she had gone to, and neither did they know when she had left the hospital. All her items were gone; the gun, her badge and her phone, Aiden was furious, how could a patient have left the hospital without anyone taking notice of it? But he did not bother to remain in the hospital after that, what was the use? She was not here.As he drove back to the station, he reasoned to dial her number, he needed to know where she must have gone to and what would have made her leave the hospital, she was still hurt and needed care and rest and it worried him. Maybe she had gone back to the station to talk with Chester to ask for her daughter’s whereabouts, she was a mother after all and if that was the reason she had left then it would make total sense, he understood t
Undercover Hurt
Saturday, the 14th of May.10:34 am.The whole thing had gone south and totally not as how they had envisioned it to turn out, they had gone there just to make an inquiry and an arrest and had ended up not making any inquiry, arresting Chester Hunt and a police woman down. In the whole frenzy that had ensured earlier with Tia ripping out the face mask, one of grand father’s body guards had fired a shot in defense of Chester and that had hit Tia in the shoulder, bringing her down.Aiden sighed and paced the hospital room Tia was in, the nurse had said that she was unconscious and might be for a while, this was not how it was meant to go, he brought out his phone and placed a call to the one person whom he would blame for all this.“Where are you?” He asked in annoyance as soon as the person picked up the call, he was pretty upset as to how every thing had gone down.“In the house, with grand father.”Aiden seethe
Undercover Under Arrest
Saturday, 14th of May 07:46 am. It was much too early for a face off and maybe a little bit too early to be angry but Chester could not care less, he was angry, he was upset, he was boiling, he was fuming and he could not keep calm. Not any more. Yesterday, Tia had been attacked and hurt when her daughter had gone missing and then it had been topped off by her partner who had called her to tell her that her daughter’s DNA sample had been found in the crime scene of the recent victim. Although he did not know what that meant, he knew it was pretty serious. He might not know who the killer was, but he had a suspect on who would have dared to kidnap Zara. The hotel had a twenty four seven hour service so he was sure that he would meet his grand father there whenever he went to his office in the hotel and right now, that was where he was headed to. He walked swiftly, his half hidden face contorted in a deep frown and every one was wise to stay clear off his path,

Friday, the 13th of May 07:43am. He knew what time they would be leaving the house, he had studied them, taking his time to map out their schedules and time. He also knew what time the bus left the station there to get here and he had been right on time. He saw the bus pull up from the comfort of the car he was sitting in, and he watched it come to a stop with a low whistle, he watched the children get down and he waited until the bus started again, easing off the side and joining the traffic. He saw her, the little detective girl, skipping happily to school and accompanied by her friends, her mother did not come drop her off today, which meant that the girl would also be going home on her own as well. He smiled devilishly, every thing was just going way too smoothly for him and he could not be any happier. This would be all too easy for him to do and he knew that there was no way he would ever be caught. He looked on as the girl disappeared into the sc
Undercover Unsettling
Friday, the 13th of May 04:06am. The CCTV footage had come to them even earlier than they had thought that it would and Tia could not be any happier, it was the CCTV footage from Wagner park, the particular footage showing the entrance of the park where they had seen the tire marks and the police men had said that they had seen Trisha come in from that direction. Tia’s heart was in her throat as she watched the footage, she was so jittery that she could not sit, so she stood behind Aiden, her eyes wide open and her eye brows furrowed in a slight frown, focusing intently on what played on the screen. A black car had pulled up by the entrance to the park and entered only to stop still close to the entrance, a man got down from the driver’s side of the car, his face shielded by the mask he wore. Tia frowned even deeper but kept on watching. He went around the car to the other side and opened the passengers’ side door and got in, they were unable to see or
Undercover A Little Too Late
Friday, the 13thof May.12:22amNight time was always fun because it was as mysterious as it was thrilling, you just never could tell what night pop out of the corner but tonight, he knew what would be popping out of the corner; he was, bringing with him yet another victim, another body for the police to find, only that this time, she was still alive so he could not yet refer to her as a body. He chuckled as he drove quietly and slowly crawling the car along the road. He needed to do this as quietly as he possibly could, he had enough time on his hands to do this and he knew.The girl was tied up in the back seat and she did not struggle, he glanced at her through the rear view mirror and he could smell the fear in her eyes; he loved that, he looked ahead and continued driving. He had chosen Wagner park this time, it was closer to Skyline clubs than all the other parks were and so he had a good feeling about this one. He tried to imagine how the scen
