"The Crying Killer"
Chapter 4
"Murder is exhausting"
Itachi POV
Last night I fell asleep as happy as a little kid with candy and now I have to wake up to this!
'Beep, Beep, Beep" I gave a grunt as I reached next to me grabbing the beeper that lay on top of my laptop next to the bed. I read it with sleepy eyes.
'Forensics in. Come to office now. It's a kid.' I heaved a sigh and looked next to me where the black-haired seraph slept. I didn't want to disturb him at all costs. I started to get up slowly and pushing my pillow towards him. It could substitute for my body. After I successfully got out of bed a bent down and kissed him on the cheek. I didn't want for him to wake up to me not being there… Because I will always be there after this one time… Ugh, I can't even tell myself that! In my head the job always comes first. But in my heart he always comes first. Make up your mind Itachi!
I gave one more sigh as I went over to the bathroom where my usual suit was prepared. I got dressed quickly as I grabbed my gun and badge. I saw my notepad next to the sink before I left. I picked it up staring at the two numbers. 8, 24… What could that mean? Is it a date? Or are there more numbers to been seen… Maybe Shikamaru can find out. After I took the notebook and my car key I ran out the door. That faster I got there the faster I could leave. I wanted to get back before Sasuke woke up so we could continue our little cuddling session. That I enjoyed greatly I might add.
I droved to the headquarters with a frown molded to my face. I can't wait to get this over with… When I got there I parked in front of the department. I got out of my car locking it as I walked to door. When I got in I took a couple turns and walked into the elevator pressing the number 10.
When I got to the floor everyone was scattering about like a bunch of mice. The usual… I walked down one of the halls to the forensics lab which our biggest brain on the job practically lived. I walked in.
"Hey Shikamaru-san… What do you got for me?" I asked yawning.
He raised an eyebrow and passed me a coffee that sat next to him.
"Here, and I found the height of the killer along with a list of teenagers that might fit it."
I took the long list from him along with the coffee taking a sip.
"So what's his or her height?" I asked blinking the sleep out of my eyes.
"About five foot four…[or 168 cm]" He spoke turning back to a huge database of computers.
I picked out my notepad from my pocket and put it in front of Shikamaru-san. He looked over at me and grabbed the paper.
"What's this?" He asked studying the numbers.
"The killer left a number for each crime… I need to see if you can figure it out…" I spoke without emotion.
He made a 'Tch' sound and put it in his to do list. Shikamaru had a photographic memory so all he needed to do was look at the numbers before he gave the note back to me.
"It's too early to be able to decipher them… I need at least a couple more numbers to even get an idea of what they mean… I don't know if it is a message or a date or maybe even his SS number. I need more time." He spoke as he started typing on his computer again.
"So technically you need more people to add to the body count…" I spoke with a glower.
"If you want to put it that way, then yes… I need more dead people…" He spoke shrugging. I walked out of forensics with a puff and towards the chief's and head's meeting office.
I looked around to find it fairly quiet but with one pair or workers ready to kill each other. Naruto and Lee were fighting about whether the killer is mentally ill or not.
"Both you shut up…" I spoke as I pushed Naruto away from my desk so I could sit down. I picked up a pen and started to circle the kids that were in high school so I could separate them from the middle school kids.
"O, hey Itachi-sama..." Naruto spoke with a grin. Lee just gave a bow. Sometimes I could mistake them for children more than leaders of a famous killer's investigation…
When I was just about to relax a panicked man flew through the door yelling. I swear this day could only get worse.
"Turn on the computer on the front of the room we have a problem!!!" I walked over and turned the huge computer screen and turned it on. Without touching the mouse the arrow was moving on its own press the files of the investigation. We were being hacked…
"Get Shikamaru-san now!!!" In the matter of minutes Shikamaru-san came running through the doors with his laptop.
He opened it and started typing.
"A hacker had entered our whole computer mainframe. They are saving all the files on their own computer." He was typing as fast as Tiger Woods could get a divorce…
"Can you stop it?" I ask looking over his shoulder.
"I can't. But I can track the IC code and where the signal is coming from." He spoke as his eyes scanned the computer. I looked back over to the other computer and saw that the screen was blank. Only a '…..' was printed on it. That's when I heard one of those sound you hear when you get a message on IM.
I read the print on the computer.
'I can hear you…' Was written on the screen…
"Who are you?!?" I yelled at it hoping that they really could hear me so I didn't seem like a complete idiot.
'Who do you think Uchiha Itachi…?' It wrote.
My eyes widened. Was The Crying Killer really contacting us?
'Murder is quite exhausting, don't you think?' Slowly each letter appeared on the screen.
"What do you want?" I asked demandingly.
'I'm bored…'
"What?!?" I asked in disgust. Was this idiot playing with us?
'I don't really want to commit a murder today to I just decided that I wanted to hack your computer and give you your next clue…'
"That's a great reason!" I said sarcastically.
'Don't mock me Uchiha Itachi… I have blackmail…' I raised an eyebrow.
"What so you mean blackmail?" I practically spat.
'I know where you live and I know you have a nice little brother in the kitchen of your house…'
My eyes widened in fear.
"What are you talking about!!!!???" I yelled.
'I'm saying that right now I am outside your house with a gun pointing at your little brother…' I started stuttering hardly able to breath. All of the other men and woman who were reading with looked at me with pity.
"Don't touch him…" I spoke quietly.
'Well I won't kill him if you do one thing for me…' I was almost ready to cry but determined to do whatever was needed.
"What do you want?" I was surprised when Naruto had asked for me.
'Well actually more than one thing… First, I will give you your clue. The number 19, and tell pineapple head to stop trying to track me because it is pointless… Next, I want you to… [Disconnected]'
I turned to Shikamaru with an angry face. I was tempted to kill him!
"What the Fakku [Fuck] did you do?!!?!?!?!?" I screamed at him.
He eyes widened. He started typing faster.
"I didn't mean to! When I was tracking it their Security Fire Wall shut me down, hence shutting him down!" He yelled over to me. …
I grabbed the phone as fast as I could and dialed the number of the operator.
"What is your emergency?"
"This is Uchiha Itachi of the CKI and we need units down at 56 Fire Ave immediately!"
I hanged up hastily as I grabbed my keys and ran out of there. I hope the killer was true to their word… I hope they were tired enough just to leave him be… Please Kami.
I speeded down the road at 90 miles per hour and swerved right next to tons of police cars.
I jumped out leaving my car unlocked running to where the cops had pushed open the door. I ran through the door swiftly. I looked around to see nothing there so I darted up to Sasuke's room. Not there. So that was when I sprinted to my room. And there he was…
He was still sleeping on my bed and sat up quickly when I ran through the door.
It… Was… A trick…
Sasuke just blinked carelessly looking at me as if I was crazy.
"Did I miss something?" He spoke rubbing his eyes falling off the bed in shock when two police barged past me.
"He's fine…" I spoke as I dashed towards him wrapping him in my arms.
"I was so worried about you!" His faced screamed confusion.
"Why?"
"Because the Crying Killer threatened to kill you…" I said as I practically groped him.
He pushed me off and as I fell backwards he patted me on the head.
"Stay big brother… Or no treat for you…" He spoke as he got up off the floor walking towards the kitchen as if nothing happened. Of course being the naughty big brother I was, I scurried after him.
I put my hand on his shoulder before he went down the stairs.
"Sasuke, you could have been hurt." I spoke lovingly.
"Well I am not!" He said waving his hands in the air. He looked over at all the cops that were in the living room and signaled them to leave which they did. After all, he was their boss's little brother.
He turned back around to me with a frown. Was he thinking that I over-reacted? But what if he really was in danger? Does he not understand that I was concerned about him???
"Listen Itachi, if I was in any real danger I still have the gun that is hidden in the closet for protection…"
I guess that was true, but does he ever know how to fire one? I could not help to fuss over him. So I picked him up as he struggled and sat down on the couch with him. I sat him on my lap and hugged him. Thanks to the retard Shikamaru for trying to hack him back he could have been hurt… I would never forgive myself if he was… He tried to push me away but my grip was as strong as a bear.
"Just relax would ya? I am not going to eat you…" I spoke affectionately. And as I said that he relaxed a lot actually. He just laid there closing his eyes. He seemed to be enjoying this as much as I was. As long as he was safe I am happy. No matter what he will always be my little brother, the little brother I love… He is the only one that could do anything to me and I would always forgive him in the end.
I started to hear deep breathing as I realized Sasuke had fallen asleep on my chest. I have never seen Sasuke fall asleep that fast in my life. I gave a chuckle as I patted down his hair. I lay back slowly on the couch wrapping my arms around him.
Maybe for just one more night… One more! I just need him in my arms… Even though I will never win his heart... He will always have mine…
Until the end of time…
3rd Person POV
And as they snuggled together a computer upstairs next to Itachi's bed blinked as it downloaded all of its information on to the spinning CD within the computer. It held every record of all of the cases and the data on each address of every worker on the case… Not to mention the one witness to his crime…
