The Unknown
Description; They're not mine. Yet.
The wind was brisk and chilly. It was the middle of March yet the weather had gone from pleasantly humid to icy and bitter cold. All he had to keep himself warm in this bone chilling weather was his black knee length leather coat. His fingers were starting to numb and all he wanted to do was go home and to indulge himself with some delectable hot cocoa, but that obviously wasn't going to happen until his partner had the satisfaction of finding at least one clue that would lead them to a serial rapist that had brutally raped over 23 women in the last couple of months. He wanted to keep searching too, but they didn't even know who the guy was. He was ready to give up and head home.
"Liv, we've been searching for over three hours. We've searched everywhere and for all we know he could be on the other side of town. How about we head home and call it a day?"
She wasn't about to give up while there was a serial rapist out on the loose. This guy was a psycho and she was determined to keep looking until they had the bastard hand cuffed and in the back of their police car.
"Elliot, there's a serial rapist out on the loose and if we don't find him now maybe he'll find our next potential victim."
He had to admit she was right, but they were looking for someone they didn't know who or where he was, and searching in the dark wasn't helping much either. He wanted to catch this guy as much as she did but it was useless. They both hadn't slept in over 2 days and he was starting to feel drowsy.
"How about we head home, get some shut eye and we'll come back tomorrow as soon as we wake up."
She hated the feel of defeat, but he was probably right. Their chances of finding any clues or any suspects were slim and obviously not going to happen. She decided it was a good time to head home and rest. Either way they weren't going to find whoever they were looking for.
She sighed.
"Okay, lets head back to the precinct, grab our stuff, and head home. Maybe they'll have some clues for us back at the 1-6."
He smiled.
"If they do I promise we'll come back early in the morning tomorrow and take another look around. Right now lets grab our stuff and head home and grab ourselves some warm hot cocoa."
They started to head back to their car but, what they didn't notice was a black van nearby observing their every movement awaiting for his perfect chance to grab them and to attain his impeccable revenge.
