A year before the missing mammals case
It was a dark and stormy night , everyone was fast asleep except for a sheep who has being hunted by a masked figure in his apartment . "What do you want from me ?!" said the scared sheep . "I just want you to confess to all of the murders you've committed" said the masked figure . "That's all I ask" continued the masked figure with a slightly menacing tone. A flash of lightning lit up the room , the sheep could see the masked figure , he had a black trenchcoat on and a menacing mask . "wha-what do you me-mean ? I didn't d-do an-anything" the sheep said stuttering . "Seriously ,you're gonna lie to me " Said the masked figure with a calm tone . "If you won't confess , then I'll just beat it out of you" Said the masked figure . If the sheep could see through the mask, he would see a wide grin forming on the face of the figure before him .
The sheep was cornered in his apartment , nowhere to run and nowhere to hide .To the sheep , what felt like minutes, felt like hours. The beating he had endured was vicious . He was starting to lose it , he could feel the blood coming from his mouth as he was punched in the face by the figure . Blood spilled all over the floor .Splattering all over the floor , staining the sheep's puffy floor rug . The sheep started feeling hazy , and then felt his fingers going numb . As he looked at his figure , he couldn't see any of them .
Instead blood just started pouring out of the place his fingers should have been . It took him a minute to realize that the figure had cleanly cut of his fingers . The sheep screamed in agony as the pain was too much to bear .
"okay ,okay , I did it , I killed all those teenage antelopes" Said the sheep hastily " and I was the one who set their corpses on fire , I figured that it help destroy any evidence the police could pitch on me" Confessed the sheep . As he finished confessing he could here a clicking sound coming from the figure . The sheep looked at the figure who was opening his trench coat revealing a cassette tape recorder . The figure had recorded everything he said and had replayed what he had said in front of him . "Now , that wasn't hard , was it?" said the figure . "Why ?" the sheep said . "It's called a hustle , sweetheart" said the figure with a hint of mischief . "And here is where you die" as the figure said that , the figure jammed a custom made machete through the sheep's throat . The figure left the tape with his victim's confession on the victim's body . As he left the sheep's apartment , the figure tried to avoid the streets as to avoid being detected by street cameras . So , he ended up sticking to the alleyways and walking in the shadows .
Seconds after the figure left the apartment complex , a car that had ZPD on it , arrived at the apartment complex . But by this point the masked figure had already left the scene . "Why did we have to come here again ?" said a rookie officer, who was a wolf , with a tone of annoyance . "There's been a noise complaint by one of the residents" said officer McHorn . As they walk up the stairs to room that had prompted the complain , they were a bit dumbfounded to see the door open . "Oh my god !" said the shock rookie . His face was petrified by the sight of the dead sheep and blood everywhere . "This is the third time this year" said officer McHorn who also in awe . He had heard rumors of this killer and that his trademark was that he would cut the throats of his victims and leave a cassette tape that had the victim's confess to their crimes . It was a rare opportunity for any officer to come across the killer's victims . Officer McHorns quickly searched the body for a tape to confirm that it was him . As he found the tape he radioed back HQ . soon , the apartment complex was filled with ZPD officers and forensics team . This killer was no ordinary killer , he would only kill those who have killed others .
As the killer made his way back to his den , he looked around to see if he was being followed . He had made precautions if he wanted to return to his apartment by making several turns to see if anyone was following him . As he made sure that nothing was following him , he went up to his apartment on the second floor . As he got into his apartment , he took of his mask off . He went to the toilet to wash himself of the blood that stained him and his clothing . As he looked at the bathroom mirror , he could see himself . He looked at himself in the eye and said "Nick , you're doing this to rid the city of heinous criminals like the sheep you killed tonight "
