Chapter 1

Frank Kasidy's chamber was sieged with a swarm of cops and curious journalists who hovered around the ground floor of the towering Oriental hotel at about 9 A.M. The cops' presence had been invited by the hotel management after discovering his dead body in his chamber on the third floor where he had lodged two days more than he was due to check out of his suite. Frank had checked in along with a mystery lady at exactly 10:45 P.M. on Wednesday after a long day of executive conference with political associates, and he was due to check out the next morning. Shockingly, a call for room service had rung from his chamber on Thursday. And on Friday morning, another order for room service had been placed as early as 6:30, only for the waitress to meet no response from Frank's chamber but a sinisterly open door that afforded her the view of senator Frank's corpse in lying around in a pool of blood and his lady guest stripped stark naked, beaten to pulp, and tied to the bed frame.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2Donovan stormed the Central Ward where Natasha, the mystery lady, had been placed under emergency medical surveillance in a bid to salvage her. His arrival at the ward was not without an entourage of cops who sieged the ward in their numbers and hoped to man the precinct from the roaming wolf and other intruders. The Central Ward was a special medical centre located uptown, a short drive away from the city’s metropolis. The ward was reserved exclusively for emergencies and exigencies of crime services; thus, it was no surprise that Natasha had been rushed down to the Ward for urgent medical care. Without wasting time, the cops took positions and stood guard at different strategic points of the ward. They jogged around towards different strategic posts assigned to them with much urgency while Donovan and Miriam strode calmly across the space leading towards the doctor's lab. The atmosphere was tensed and medical activities within the ward seemed fragile—a

Chapter 3

Miriam strode out of the ward in a hurry with Donovan striding alongside to catch up with her while the two cops who had come with Miriam tailed the duo as they headed down the corridor which now buzzed with a handful of medical personnel bustling back and forth amidst the latest murder.''This is getting out of hand, detective. We must put a stop to this,'' Miriam said impatiently as she wouldn't halt a bit in her track. ''Natasha's murder does not make it look any better.''''I swear I did every bit to protect the Natasha--with my life,'' Donovan cut in, in defence. ''She was our best chance to have a hint about the killer. Don't you think this is some sort of psychopath running wild out there?''''Now, listen up, Donny,'' Miriam stopped dead in track, forcing Donovan and the two cops to halt in their steps. She turned sharply to face Donovan squarely. ''Right now, we have a problem.''''Problem? What problem?'' Donny asked concerned.''Salim has filed in a claim of death threat wit

Chapter 4

Miriam drove back to her apartment located in the outlying district of the city centre. She arrived home late in the night on the wrong side of 10. In this moment, she was propelled to the comfort of her home in a bid to brood over the events of the day; to brace up for the panel and a possible controversial showdown with Salim and the chief of police in few hours. Taking on Salim's questions and his claim of a death threat from Jack was no bone to contend with. She knew quite well how to outwit the dubious mogul and beat his rhetorics hands down in a bid to convince the chief of police. But first, she must catch some rest--or more like a respite--but the news of Jack Banning hitting the town wouldn't let her have a breather. She was destabilised and Ill at ease.Jack was a good man and easily the best father Miriam had come to know since she was a child. However, his long service on his job as a secret service agent and his numerous adventures in the course of unravelling political e

Chapter 5

The duo huddled together for warmth in the cosy sofa. Miriam was quite tipsy from the shots of whisky and cigarettes as she curled up in Ben's arms. She felt a rage of emotional turbulence brewing within her while she struggled to free herself from the impact of the day's mix of events. Slowly, she removed herself from Ben's arms and staggered to her feet--still feeling the impact of alcohol. Ben followed suit hoping to steady her as she made to move away from the sofa. He grabbed her hips from behind and pressed his body against hers.''You sure need some rest now,'' Ben whispered in her ear as he felt the heat of the warmth between them.Miriam turned round. She couldn't help herself as she buried a deep kiss on Ben's lips. She felt her emotional turbulence gradually calm down as she sustained the kiss much longer. A new lease of breath seemed to have come upon her; she seemed to have found the therapy she had craved. She wrapped her arms around Ben's neck and committed her body to

Chapter 6

Miriam was driven down in the early hours of the morning to the famous Glass House in the city centre. The Glass House was known as the Criminal Investigation Department's complex for official meets and forums. The CID-owned complex was renowned for playing host to numerous executive conferences, national police chief's council on investigatory matters and PACT meetings with the public and surrounding environments. The Glass House was the quite the towering complex which couldn't be missed for anything amidst the busy city.Miriam alighted from a glossy black armoured police cruiser to the salute of officers who had expected her arrival. Unlike the previous day, she looked smarter in her silky, lustrous khaki jacket well tucked into a fitted pair of matching khaki trousers. The right and left sides of her jacket had colourful ribbons while the epaulettes on both shoulders carried three stars, each on either side indicating her rank in the force. The conspicuous chevrons on either side

Chapter 7

The panel commenced shortly with the senior officers having all hands on deck. They were all seated across the round-table, poised to have a showdown. Miriam braced up for the moment looking to make a case for herself against Salim and to defend her jurisdiction as much as she could. It was her city; she presided over it. For her, the serial killer's identity was unknown and an investigatory process was in the works to unravel the mystery. But, for Salim, he was cocksure about the killer's identity as much as the identity of the one who sent a death threat to him. Much to Miriam's discontent, he was quite confident that Jack Banning was behind the bloodfest in the city.Exchange of pleasantries and side talk was still ongoing amongst the seating officers before Williams waded in with his baritone voice to address the congregation in a bid to open the floor.''Comrades and colleagues, we have converged here on this platform in the sole interest of the state and for the dignity of our p

Chapter 8

The animosity Salim had borne for the inspector of Vegas county took a full expression as the cunning mogul launched into emotional rhetorics, condemning the police's effort and coming up with a conspiracy theory about the security activities of Miriam and her force in the Vegas county.''I will make sure none of you is spared if that monster out there comes for me. None of you will be spared. None of you!''Miriam paused for a bit and took a keen listen to Salim's grievances. Salim might not particularly be one of her favorites but the political big shot had the right to air his pains and grievances. And, of course, she quite understood his position in this matter.''Rest assured you're in safe hands, Prince Abdullahi,'' replied Miriam, making effort to calm the tension. ''The security forces of the Vegas county shall be consolidated henceforth as we join forces with the national police force.''Salim seemed pacified by Miriam's calm words, although not completely convinced by the pe
