Lost in the woods

Prologue

The sky was so blue in the sky, the pure air, nature so beautiful. The birds sang in the branches, the animals of the forest quietly lounging in the grass when something came to break the stillness of the moment, destroying the natural magic. A scream tore the air, scaring all the animals, the birds fly by. The quiet gave way to excitement, fear, noise that would not stop for hours, maybe more. But when all was over, the magic would operate more, the spell was broken.

The young woman fell to her knees, one hand holding her chest while the other tried to keep it straight, despite the pain that crossed her body. She did not try to flee when the man approached her, pointed his gun at her. She knew it was no longer anything, she would die, she felt. It was late when she was at the dawn of life. She had not had time to realize her dreams, she had not had time to see the world as she wanted to. How a simple weekend with friends was there could be a race against death? How the best out of her life she could end up in a bloodbath? She did not know but what she knew was that she had done everything to get out, she and her friends, but they were not strong enough. She did not know what had become of the others, they were probably already dead too, and she would soon join them.

The footsteps stopped behind, but she did not move, she did not show him that he had won, even if this was the case. She should be strong until the end. The man placed himself in front of her and she lifted her head to fix his hateful eyes. He would perhaps kill her, but she would die with any dignity. With all the problems of the world, she stood up, stumbling a bit before standing right before him, under head high.

- "You will pay for what you did" she sead.

- "But you will not be there to see" the man replied before raising his rifle.

The shot was fired and the girl fell back, shot in the heart. She landed heavily in the leaves under the laughter of the man and his companions who came to join him, each holding his own gun. They stood around and stared at her for a moment before leaving, leaving here to the wild animals that would eat carcass. They had nothing to do, nobody would ever know what had happened to her, nobody never find her body.

- oooo -

The tranquility of the forest had once again been shattered by the arrival of the rangers and Teresa Lisbon's CBI team. There were more people today than there had been for a long time and wild animals took refuge in the mountains to escape civilization that had nothing to do here. A woman left the group to approach a shape on the ground, because of their presence here. She crouched, examined what was left of the girl before getting up and turning to the ranger just standing beside her.

- "Who found the body?" she asked.

- "A hiker" the man replied. "He is there," he pointed his finger to a small group a little further.

- "You have the identity of the victim?" She questioned dusting few twigs that hung on her pants.

- "Lucy Rhys, seventeen" the man read the small book he had in his hands. "She came camping with friends, but we haven't found them yet."

- "How many were there?"

- "Four, two girls and two boys."

- "Well, when forensic science is there, I would like any prints are identified, however, if it is available."

- "I would make sure of it."

The woman then walked away to join the hikers who made the gruesome discovery. He was a man of about twenty-five years, slim, looking a little haggard, but you would be too if you had found the body of a teenage girl almost nonexistent in the middle of the forest. She knew she should not rush him if she wanted information. But that she heard behind her, and the voice sounded in her ears made her disillusioned. Jane had just arrived and with him his bad jokes of all kinds.

The mentalist joined her. They walked in silence and Lisbon wondered why he still had said nothing, he was not the type to keep quiet and this does bode well. She felt that the calm would not last very long and it was confirmed again when she heard his voice.

- "Nice day for a walk in the forest," he said playfully.

- "A girl died Jane, this is not a good day," she chided.

- "Oh Lisbon, but look at the sky, is blue, the birds are singing ..."

- "And I have a job to do" she interrupted, "and you too."

- "Okay fine, not worth getting frustrated," he said, raising his hands before him as a sign of innocence.

- "It is you who irritate me Jane" she whispered in exasperation.

- "Well then tell me" the blond capitulated.

- "Lucy Rhys, seventeen years old, discovered by this young man this morning. She came camping with friends, missing at the moment."

- "So let's examine the witness in this case."

He went to Lisbon and quickened his pace to catch her before he does something stupid. This survey would not be easy, she felt she had a bad feeling. She didn't like especially forests, she didn't like to be here, but she had a job to do. The victim had been almost entirely devoured by wild animals, it would not be easy to determine the exact time of her death. But she worked with good staff and they find everything they would need to complete this survey and get it over with.

- oooo -

The examination did not give much, man being too upset to answer questions, then Lisbon and her team returned to the office to begin their investigative work. The woman felt better the moment they left the scene, but she felt like little tingling in her neck, as if someone was watching her. But when she turned back, she found nothing suspicious, if not a bunch of agents disturbing the tranquility of this place.

She got into the car, Jane taking place on the passenger seat, just to break his legs to the office, while others took up the rear. She drove off and left this place, not noticing the small group of men who followed them, further into the woods.

TBC ...

So, good or bad?

The next chapter should be there by the end of the week or early next week.
