Chapter Two: The Paper
John McClain sat on the sofa reading the newspaper. He was scanning through the sport section when he came across an interesting story at the bottom of the page. There was a black and white picture of a man. He had glasses and a beard and looked to be around his fifties. The headline said "Man Murdered at Local Coroner's Office" McClain began to read through it story.
"Hey, honey come here and look at this" McClain yelled to Holly who was in the kitchen. She came into the room holding a dish towel in her hand and a white plate in the other.
"What is it?" she asked sounding like she didn't want to be disturbed.
"Come and take a look" McClain said waving her over. Holly rolled her eyes and dragged herself over to the couch and plopped down next to her husband. McClain passed the newspaper over to her and pointed to the part where he wanted her to read.
She read it. "It says here that Hans Gruber body disappeared. That was the man who was the head of the terrorist group you took down. Someone stole his body?"
"Maybe one on his men broken in, killed someone on the staff and took the body" McClain suggested.
"I thought you killed them all."
"No there was two sent to jail; but I'm pretty sure I got them all."
Holly shrugged her shoulders and placed the paper on the coffee table. "Don't worry about it. Let LAPD deal with it; now come and help me with the dishes. Ever since I had to get rid of Paulina I have so much work to do."
"You had to fire her she let that news reported in house to interview our children."
"I know, but it makes so much more work for me."
"I'm here and I'll help you. At least you won't have to be back to work for a while."
Holly sighed. "Yeah there looking for a replacement for Mr. Takagi."
"Don't trouble yourself everything will get back to normal soon. Come on" McClain said leading her back into the kitchen. "Let me help you finish these dishes. News Years is only a few days away."
