A groan escaped the pink haired female, she happened to look at the time, the clock read only two in the morning. She reached over the girl that she had brought home earlier that night, to just pick up the phone. Luka didn't really want to answer anything, she rather be sleeping. She groaned again, as she finally got the phone, "Hello?" Luka mumbled into the phone,
"Ah, I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time." The female stated,
"No...Besides sleeping, no. Don't worry." Luka's tone was rather sarcastic,
"Look we all want sleep, Luka. I get that. But a call just came in. And I want you to go check it out with Katsuya." The female stated,
"Ah...Fine." Luka mustered, then got the directions, "You know your way out, right?" Luka asked the female that had just woken up. Luka saw her nod, "Good." Luka whispered, she got out of bed, and headed to the scene where the crime was committed, but of course first she stopped for a coffee. She sighed, as she rubbed her eyes, "Two in the fucking morning...What is that bitches problem? There are other people that she could have called." Luka sighed heavily, as she now threw her cup away and immediately walked into the apartment. She held her hand over her mouth as she gagged to the rotting stench of the decomposing body,
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"Ah, you made it." Katsuya stated, as he looked over towards Luka, "Nice sight, isn't it?" He asked, with a smirk,
"You are awfully upbeat at two in the morning." Luka shook off the want to gag or even throw up, "What happened here? She looks like something from a Predator movie." Luka murmured, she looked at the body. The woman's chest was split opened wide, the ribs looks as if they were snapped to just open the chest cavity, to just get the heart. Luka looked around, and saw no signs of force entry, so immediately her mind went to that someone she knew got in. Luka bent down and looked at the evidence around the female, but there was none, "Is there any..." Luka was immediately cut off,
"Hey, boss. You should come see this." A male officer stated,
Luka immediately stood, and walked to another room. She was the senior officer there. She saw a woman laying face down, and her back was torn to bits. And there was an incision, as if a doctor was removing the kidneys and the liver. "Jeez..." Luka murmured, as she walked more into the room. She was just trying to find some sort of evidence, but wasn't finding anything. Unless someone would count the blood splattered all over the wall, Luka was stopped,
"Hey boss. There is some people who saw a man running out of the apartment. Said that he had a lot of blood on him. One of our guys picked him up. He is at the precinct." The male officer stated, and immediately watched Luka and Katsuya leave.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Once at the precinct, Luka stopped Katsuya, "I am going to play bad cop. If he doesn't fucking talk, I'll kick his ass. He knows something, and we will get it out of him, one way or another." Luka stated with a hiss, and soon they were in the interrogation room, "Hey...Oh you got to be kidding me. Really, Kinkade? You got yourself in a huge mess with time." Luka stated, then rolled her eyes,
"You know this guy?" Katsuya asked,
"Yeah, this idiot has been in and out of here for stupid shit. Robbery, Grand Theft Auto, and dealing and doing drugs." Luka rolled her eyes, "Go ahead, Katsuya start asking questions." Luka stated, as she leaned up against the wall,
"Alright, Kinkade. Why were you at the apartment tonight?" Katsuya asked,
"Look, man. I have no clue what the fuck you are talking about." Kinkade replied,
"I think you do. People saw you running from the apartment." Katsuya stated,
"Look man, it was dark. People see a lot of things." Kinkade was soon slammed against the wall by Luka,
"Look, you fucking bastard we can do this the hard way or the easy way. And I have only one nerve of patience left, and you are jumping on it. SO, answer the mother fucking questions before I kick your ass." Luka hissed, then released Kinkade, and watched him fall to the ground,
"Damn! Are you always pmsing?!" Kinkade asked, "Alright, alright. I was there. I went to the apartment once I saw the door was wide open. So, I thought why the hell not. Its open, an easy robbery. You know." Kinkade stated,
"Did you see anything? Or even hear anything?" Katsuya asked,
"Look, I told you everything." Kinkade stated, then had a gun pressed against his temple,
"Kinkade, don't make me splatter your brains all over this room. We have done this dance to many fucking times!" Luka was getting pissed, the lack of sleep was getting to her as well,
"Alright alright. Shit chill, L." Kinkade stated, "Alright, I went to the apartment tonight. Like I said the front door was open, so I made my way in. Grabbed a few things here and there. And then I went into the kitchen, and went to get some silver. But I stumbled over something, so, I flipped on the light. And I saw a chick lying there, dead. I didn't know what to do. All I know is that girl was bleeding pretty bad. So, I did the noble thing, and leaned in to see if she was breathing. And I got there too late." Kinkade stated,
"Anything else?" Katsuya asked,
"Yeah, you know what there is something else. I noticed an Ace card, sitting in her hand. It was weird. A random card in a dead's girl hand. But the weird thing, is I know the girl that was killed." Kinkade stated, then went on, "She used to let me crash at her crib, to get me out of shitty weather. And even lent me some money. I don't know why a nice girl like her would get killed." Kinkade stated, "Good kid." Kinkade whispered, "So can I go?" He asked,
"Yeah, but if you remember anything else let us know." Katsuya stated,
"Alright, alright." Kinkade stated then left the police station,
"Do you believe him?" Katsuya asked,
"Kinkade isn't the murderous type. He is a petty criminal. Not someone that would go out and murder someone. But I don't get it. The Ace card...I didn't see it at the crime scene, did you?" Luka asked,
"No. In face, I didn't see anything that would show that the girl was holding it. I am not sure what the hell is going on. But I am not liking it." Katsuya asked, Luka and him walked to the Chief's office,
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"Well, did he tell you anything?" Chiyo asked,
"Yeah, Kinkade, sang like a Canary. After I delivered some justice to his face." Luka chuckled, then watched Chiyo roll her eyes, "But yeah he told us, when he got there. The girl in the kitchen was already dead, and she was holding an Ace in her hand." Luka shrugged, and thought nothing of the Ace, until the Chief spoke,
"Wait, an Ace? That is impossible, he locked that bastard up." Chiyo stated, "In face, he was killed." Chiyo sighed, "Kinkade likes to lie a lot. I doubt it was an Ace..." Chiyo stated, then sighed heavily, "And like it is impossible, unless Hiro came back from the dead. Its impossible." Chiyo stated then sat down,
"Unless we are dealing with a copycat. Then it is possible that his 'legacy' will go on. But there was just something different about this crime. Usually a copycat would do things the exact same way as the original. There was nothing that would relate this killer to the Ace Killer." Luka stated, "I just think something is off. As...Maybe the bastard was scared." Luka shrugged, "All I know is...I don't think this is a copycat, just a low life trying to get his name on the news. Either way, I think we need to arrest the bastard before its too late." Luka murmured, and that is when she realized, she had a long night ahead of her. And she could honestly say, she wanted to put this bastard behind bars and fast. But she knew that this wouldn't happen over night. Luka walked out of the office and walked to her cubicle. And began to work on everything that needed to be done,
"You don't think he is back, do you?" Katsuya asked, as he sat down at the desk that was in front of Luka's,
"Not a chance." Luka stated, but that is the thing about chance. Because this was a game of chance that Luka never wanted to play, and soon she would be right in the game. And for her sake, she better come up with a Royal Flush. But for right now, let her do up the report. There are surely more reports to come.
