Police station. The day was just the same just like other days, sunny and bright.

Emily's P.O.V.

“What is the update on the case?” I asked.

“There hasn’t been any update ma'am, we haven't been able to find out any thing, the other officers are following the trail from the beginning”.

“Okay has the post mortem arrived” I asked while taking a sip of my coffee.

“Yes ma'am, it is with the doctor”.

I walked to the mortuary, a strong bad odor hit me, all my years as an officer I never got used to this. The mortuary was big, it was quite and dark the only shed of light was the small bulb right across the room, the white tiles all around the room made it look creepy, dead bodies all around in the room with tags on them, some bodies haven't been claimed yet. The doctor stood in front of the body holding the reports.
Doctor Andrew is in his mid-thirties, he is dark, body built he has a frown on his face, he had a straight pointed nose, I would have liked him if he wasn’t completely bald.

“Officer Black” He said.

"Doctor, Good morning".

"Morning".

“Doctor what do I have to know about the body?”.
He let out a breath before speaking.

“She died between 2am-3am on 3rd of this month, her death was brutal”.

“She died three days after her kidnap, why did he wait for three days until he killed how was she killed?" I asked.

“ if you look at the marks on her body” He said while pointing at her hands and shoulders. “The victim was raped but the marks on her hands shows that she was tied but she tried to struggle, she was drunk I found traces of alcohol in her blood, she was raped multiple times to an extent her organs got damaged”.

“Any DNA or sperm particles or finger prints found on her body”.

“no, she was cleaned with alcohol after the rape”.

"The rape led to her death".

"No!."

“What led to her death?”.

“Internal bleeding and she was strangled with a rope to an extent it crushed her windpipe”.

“how old is she?”.

“fifteen-years-old”.

“Could you give the file containing all the information to Officer Lewis”.

“Yes ma'am”.
This was the fifth case this week, Girls have been murdered every week, The city wasn’t save any more, I was worried which kind of psycho will do that to someone, who murders brutally. I felt sick in the stomach, I felt disgusted. The police station was covered with posters of missing people, some where found dead while some are still missing. The killer has been on a run for a long time, we have tried everything to look for him, it like he knows how to get away from things, he never leaves any evidence not even a single mistake. A few weeks ago a body was found in the well, she was found naked, people complained of a strange smell coming out of the well.

I was on my way to my office when I saw officer Lewis, Lewis was drinking a cup of coffee flirting with one of the security guard.

Lewis is tall he has this serious aura around him, Lewis didn't smile much, he isn’t muscular nor is he body built, he is slim, he is soft and sensitive, Lewis couldn’t stand the sight of blood, he became an officer so he could get justice for his sister and other people that we’re killed just like her. Lewis tried a lot to get to his sister’s killer’s but he couldn’t get to them, he never wanted any officer to join him in the case and no one did. I had no idea what they did to her? Or who were the people I tried asking Lewis a few times but he didn’t give me an answer and after some few years he stopped tracking her killers and he gave up.

“Hey” I said getting his attention. “collect the information regarding the body from doctor and get me the file containing the information about the missing girls”.

“sure ma'am”.

I entered my office, it was spacious, there was files scattered on the wooden desk , the walls are painted in navy blue, photo frames of great officers hanged all around, a huge couch right across the room, a carpet in the center, everything in the room matched the painting. My name plate was beautifully kept on my table.

Miss. Black.

I actually preferred my first name “Emily”.

We haven’t been able to find out about the body, It has been a whole week no one has come to claim the body, I was arranging all the files when I heard a knock.

“come in."

Officer Lewis came in, his beautiful blue eyes looked tired, his eyes said a lot, one could read his minds just by looking at his eyes, his shoulders we’re high indicating he was tensed and stressed, he came close to me, I could smell his scent, he smelt like roses.

I like it.

“Ma'am here are the files” he said while handing it over to me.

His breath smelt like mint my inner voice said.

"You look stressed ma'am". He said.

"Just been a very tough week, Any missing case today”

“no ma'am”.

“any information about the body and any information about the girl that got kidnapped”.

“No information about the body”. He said while taking a seat. “Sara knight got kidnapped, her parents are coming tomorrow so we can get more information about her”.

"Any information about how she got kidnapped".

"Not yet ma'am the officers are on it, the last people that saw her are being questioned".

"What are we missing?, Why is he always ahead of us?". He just looked at me, he didn't say a word, just inform our informers we need to know more about this kidnap”.

“Yes ma'am”.

Today has been a hectic day, the media is making a fuss out if this, Sara the daughter of one of the richest business man got kidnapped last night, we still haven’t be able to stop all the kidnaps that has been happening all this weeks, the police has been blamed for every unfortunate happening, we need to protect our people.
