Все главы LT. Chris Angeles - Monster Among Men (Detective Series): Глава 21 - Глава 30

Since the third body was found on the riverside, media people never left us alone. They kept an eye on our every move. Even when we were just having lunch, they are still everywhere."God damn it!" Oliver cursed as soon as he sat on his recliner."What's the matter, man?""Those damn reporters are outside my house! My mom just got out of the hospital, and now she's being stressed by those vultures!""Calm down, man. You know you can't be affected by those sons of b*tches.""If something happens to my mom, I'm going to kill every one of them.""Oli, calm down."Oliver smacked his fist on his table. He really looked mad. I can't understand those reporters. They don't even know the meaning of privacy or respect! What is wrong with those people?Instead of telling him to calm down, I let him feel his anger. Sometimes, that's what people need. I just pray that no one messes with Oliver right now because that will be the last mistake

Every day is like The Purge for us. People are hoarding around the station. Family of the two murder victims and the two missing women. Reporters who feed on chaos for scoops are also swarming outside the station. We've been featured on news programs almost every day."Detective! Detective Angeles! Can we get a statement?""Detective, do you have a lead on those murders?""Do you have a suspect?"Each day I go to work, I'd be welcome by people who want answers. It's been weeks that I tried to crack my skull to find something to tell us who the killer is. That freaking car is like a trademark of the town. Almost half of the people of Burton Grove have the exact vehicle in their garage."Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Oliver punched his desk repeatedly out of frustration."Stop it, Oli. You're just hurting yourself." I shook my head. He looked like a zombie because of lack of sleep and exhaustion."It's been four days, Chris! Four days sin

While Burton Grove is in chaos, Mary Sue's heart and mind also have their own battle. She may be entertaining a suitor, but her mind kept shifting back to Chris. She was sure that she was not hallucinating. There was something between the two of them. What she doesn't understand is why Chris would keep on ignoring her.It's not like he was gay or something. Because of how Chris treated her, she felt insecure. That is why she started seeing another man in the first place.But no matter how she enjoys another men's company, she still doesn't feel contented. She felt like something is always missing. Most of the time, even her smiles were faked, forced.-Flashback-Mary Sue went out on a date. The guy was a gentleman, and he was sweet. If she's any other woman, she would be swooning over him."The food here is delicious, don't you think?""Yeah,'"So, you're back to teaching. How does it feel?""More of the same.""Well, di

There are times that I'd see Mary Sue, and I would want to talk to her so badly. We used to have good times together. I could still remember how we first met. She was the teacher whose student got abducted in the middle of school hours. She was so freaked out that time that she was taking it out on our officers. But then we got the chance to turn things around. We started going out and got pretty close. But then the killings began. I got so focused on my job that I neglected to give her enough attention. Now that I'm seeing her dating other guys, I feel like crap. I feel so stupid for letting things between turn sour again. But I can't do anything about it right now. We have a serial killer on the loose. Theodore hasn't come. We've been visiting his house a few times, and he's always not at home. How could I even get a life if we're handling cases like this? But I wanted this job since I was a kid. I can't complain just because I can't get a girlfriend. My ti

I couldn't let my best friend become a murderer. And I know that if I leave him alone by himself, he will do something he might regret in the end. Oliver may be scary when he's angry, but he is not a killer. He can knock someone to sleep or break a bone when he gets into fights. But he is not a killer.Now, all we could do is monitor his every move. And even that, we need to do it in secret. We can't risk him leaving town again because we may never find him again. And, I need to keep an eye out on Oliver."Chris, I am not going to kill him. You don't have to be my bodyguard." I almost laughed because of Oliver's expression."Yes, I do. So shut up and hurry. We're going to be late."Oliver shook his head and put on his jacket. After spraying his favorite cologne, we both walk out of his front door and to our car. Ever since we left his house, Oliver didn't say anything again.When we arrived at the police station, we saw Miller and Guzman. Of course
