The Taxidermist
"Madison Page" She spoke into her Bluetooth.
"Madison, its Sam. I got the information you asked for. The guy's name is Leland White. He used to be a taxidermist, 40 years old, single, apparently out of work for the last two years. No Criminal record, no psychiatric history" Sam said in his rustic voice over the phone.
"A taxidermist? That's pretty original. You got his address? I'd like to ask him a few questions. "Madison said swerving left, onto the highway.
"His last known address is 411 Harbor Street. Lexington. Do you really think this guy could be the origami killer?" Sam continued to Madison as the rain grew lighter.
Madison veered off the highway as she entered Lexington. She came to Harbor Street.
"The only way is to find out is to go and ask him. If it's not him, he'll give me some tips on how to stuff animals" Madison said slowing her motorcycle, to look for the house with address.
"If he is the killer" Sam said but was quickly interrupted by Madison,
"Then we've the scoop of the year" she said confident.
"Shit you really nuts" Sam said adding worry to his voice.
"That's why you like me" Madison said reassuringly.
"Be careful Madison, you never know" He said adding a little more worry into his voice.
"Don't worry I'll be fine" Madison said ending their conversation.
She pulled up to the Taxidermists home. She parked her bike, and hopped off. She gave a glance a quick look before she took her helmet off. She set it down on her bike, and turned to the house. She took quite a look at it and then grabbed her phone from her back pocket. She set it to voice record.
"Tuesday November 3rd, 4:15 pm. I am at the home of the suspect Leland White" Madison said putting her phone back into her pocket.
The mailbox. It wouldn't be very discrete to look but.
She took a quick gaze from her left and then to her right and she didn't see anybody. She scurried over to the mailbox. She opened it, and removed the mail.
Catalogues for women's clothes. Seems like Mr. White's into Women's fashion.
Madison continued up to the large white house. A taxidermist banner hung above the large window. She walked up on to the porch. The window was too dusty, and dirty to see through. Madison rang the door bell. She rang it again.
"Hello" She called.
No answer. She kneeled down and peered through the keyhole. She knew she could lock pick it but didn't bring her stuff for that.
"Hello, anybody home, Mr. White?" She called again.
She walked to the window. She put her hands up to the glass and peered through.
Eagles?
Madison backed away from the window.
It's stupid to come all the way out here for nothing. I should look around, you never know.
She stepped down the stairs to the right. She continued walking till she came to the back corner of the house.
A window, its ajar, looks too hard get in this way.
She notice a small rusted barrel, she bent down and laid it upwards. She still couldn't get through the window. Through the corner of her eye she noticed a larger barrel. She pulled it to its side. She kicked it. It didn't go far, so she kicked it again. She had to kick it once more before she picked it up. She got on the little barrel, and then continued to get on the bigger one.
"Shit, Sam's right I really an crazy" Madison said trying to open the window.
She tugged upwards on the window, but it didn't go far. She pushed again, then once more. She finally gave it one big tug, and the window fully opened. She pushed herself up through the window. She scooted down to the floor from the counter. The window slammed shut.
"Charming. Be quick, take a few photos and then get out of here" Madison said figuring out a plan.
She looked around the kitchen she ended up being in. She looked in a cupboard beneath the sink. She didn't see anything worth noting. She opened the drawer next to it. It was empty. She pushed the drawer back in, then went and closed the cupboard beneath the sink. Madison opened the drawer next to the last one she had opened.
Women's jewelry, dozens of necklaces and bracelets. Strange place to keep them.
Madison walked out into the living room. Stuffed eagles were strung from the roof, and foxes were scattered about the floor.
I hate this place, stinks of dust and death.
Madison walked into an opening near the living room. Body building equipment.
So it looks like Mr. White into body building, he guts animals, and body builds? He must be a really popular guy.
Madison went to go check the window. She accidently knocked into a shelf which held a stuffed animal. The owl flew down, but Madison quickly caught it. She restored it to its original spot and walked to the window. The rain outside was still going, but had led up little. She continued to walk through the living room. She knelt down to look at one of Mr. White creations.
Is this, this a stuffed dog?
Madison got back up and turned around. A pink fabric caught her eye. The fabric lay in the fire place. She came to get a closer look at it.
"Remains of burnt clothes in fireplace, looks like women's clothes" Madison said speaking into her phone, with her eyes widened.
"I think were on to something big"
