Chapter 10

"Cause I want you to help me."

His words kept echoing through my mind. I rolled my eyes at the thought. I played along with his little game about "vampires" and "hunters", hoping he would come to his senses or at least see how crazy he sounded. I think we can all see how well that turned out for me. I'm an idiot for thinking that would actually work.
He wants my help. My help with catching and/or killing "vampires". Of course he needs help. Just not mine or in the way he's thinking.

I sat up on my bed, finally pulling all my thought together. There were so many different things running through my head and it all boiled down to one question; How does Kid relate to my case?
Firstly, Black Star is currently playing along with Kid's game. Does that mean he's our undercover agent spying on Kid, trying to solve this case or that he's Kid's agent, trying to do the complete opposite?
Next, all of the victims had some sort of relation with Kid. If my research is correct, they all met with him to discuss wedding plans the day they were murdered. Is that just a mere coincidence, somebody trying to ruin Kid or is Kid somehow behind these killings?
Another point is that Kid said he did have dealings with the city's underworld. He called it the "vamp underworld" or whatever, but that's practically the same thing in my mind. That means he has to have some connection with the illegal drug market, illegal weapons trade or the black market. he is the owner of a big company and it wouldn't be the first time it is exposed that someone like him deals in these kinds of things.

And lastly, Kid's always been a rather shady character since I met him, but after trying to find out more about the guy's past, he's even more shady than ever. I couldn't find anything on him from before he went to college. No records of his birth, his parents, nothing. It's like he didn't even exist until nine years ago. The only thing that proves he is a man that goes by the name of "Kid Thanatos" that is 26 years of age is his ID. I could find nothing else to suggest he is who he says he is.

Given all this information, I have a few possibilities laid out in front of me;
1. Kid is innocent of the killings and his only crime is that he happens to take part in the illegal weapons trade (which would probably explain all those weapons I saw).
2. Somebody is mad at Kid and is out to get him, framing him for these murders.
3. Assuming Black Star isn't on our side, Kid sent him in to try and derail my investigation because Kid is behind all the murders, selling the missing organs on the black market. Kid would then use a stupid story about "vampires" to make himself seem like a delusional madman, which would allow people to underestimate him.
4. This is all a giant coincidence and Kid just happens to be caught in the cross fire.

I sighed as I thought over these things. Kid's too smart to show me all those weapons if he's selling them in the city's underground. Kid's also on relatively good terms with all other owners and CEO's of giant companies around him, even his competitors. He's also mot stupid enough to go around making enemies.
That only leaves the last two possibilities. I honestly hoped for Kid's sake that this is all one big misunderstanding. Otherwise I will be forced to put the one I love most behind bars.

I sighed once more, getting off my bed and going over to the tablet. I quickly jotted down my thoughts and feelings, before sighing for a third time. Things are really starting to get complicated for me now. It might, even, be possible that the chief will pull me off this case 'cause I'm too close.

On my way back over to my bed I stripped off my uniform. I lay in the center, thinking some more. I will have to talk to the chief in the morning about all my thoughts and what I've found out. That is if Black Star doesn't get to him before I do.
I sighed once more, rolling over and switching off the lamp on the side. This really was getting more complicated than I had originally hoped it would be when I was first assigned this case. Man, this is so uncool...
