Warning. Plot development
CH.50 Demon or Demons P2
The bell of the front gate went off, and both Victor and Helena nearly jumped in surprise. Apparently spooked by the sudden sound, Helena picked up her gun from the nightstand and walked out of the room followed by Victor. The bell got rung for a second time when they reached the small screen in the hallway. A grey car stood in front of the fate with its window open. Hanging out of the driver's seat window none other than Erick himself.
"Hurry up it is freezing out here," They could hear him complain through the small screen. Helena was about to push the button to open the front gate, but Victor took her hand.
"He can stay a bit longer out there don't you think?" Helena looked at Victor unamused. She waited for 5 seconds than freed herself from Victors hold and pushed the button to open the front gate. Helena walked off towards the front door while Victor looked unamused when the car drove through the gate. Why did he have to come today? He just had a great time earlier with Yuuri was making progress on the case whit Helena, and now he had to come in and ruin his day. Not sure what to do Victor went to the kitchen making coffee and soon was joined by Helena, Erick and Artur.
"Are you willing to pour another cup?" Artur asked and victor not super willingly poured another cup and placed it in front of Artur on the counter. "Thank you. Nice place you've got here."
"Yeh, it was my parents grew up here."
"Sorry about that, must be difficult to be here after what happened." Victor looked at Artur who seemed to not notice. "I heard it on the news terrible accident. That damn truck, which hit the car full on the front. The driver found drunk in the back of his own truck. It was such a mess." Erick hit Artur in the back of the head.
"What is wrong with you." Artur first looked surprised at Erick and then at Victor.
"I'm sorry," He looked down to the floor clearly avoiding everyone stares. "I didn't notice. I do have a hard time noticing someone else feelings. One of my shortcomings according to my wife." an uncomfortable silence filled the room as if everyone except for Victor knew something which they weren't willing to share.
"Okay let's talk business." Erick looked away from his partner and looked at Victor. "I do believe this is a safe place, but I would still like to have some sort of security be put in place beside Helena." Helena was about to protest, but Erick just continued. "Since I know you don't trust me nor the police we discussed that you and Helena can make the decision if you want our protection or hire a team yourself."
"that decision is easily made, well hire someone else." Victor didn't even give it any thought the less amount of time he had to spend with these two the better.
"We thought so." Artur looked up for the first time. "We do need to speak with Helena before we go. Is there someplace we can talk in private?"
"I discuss everything with my clients. So we can discuss it here."
"I don't think so, you might be our adviser for this case, but we don't discuss cases with none officials." Erick interrupted boldly, and the two held a staring contest until Helena gave in and led him out of the kitchen Artur looked back waited for a moment and walked back to Victor.
"Look I am really sorry about earlier."
"It is okay,"
"No it is not okay I should be more watchful of what I am saying" Victor didn't react just stared back. "But I didn't just come stayed here for that I also wanted to ask you how you are holding up?" It took a moment before Victor's mind caught up with what Artur just said, and he wasn't sure what to do with it. He hated Erick ever since they met but Artur had alway's been this awkward third person in between trying to do his job but his own partner holding him back. "Your right it isn't my place to ask."
"No, I was just surprised you asked. I am doing a lot better since Yuuri is back. But yesterday di gave me a big scare, just the idea that he can show up anywhere is frightening."
"I understand that, but it is good to hear that is going better right now." Just then they heard Erick call out where he had gotten to and Artur went towards the sound and waved back at Victor before he left the kitchen. Victor watched him leave still in doubt how he should feel about Artur. It didn't take long before he heard them walk towards the front door and Victor decided to say goodbye.
"Ah, Victor I still wanted a word with you." Erick approached him, and Victor grudgingly accepted the conversation. "The thing is," Erick side glanced at Helena and Artur to make sure they weren't heard, and both were deep in their own conversation. "I have a friend who really loves Ice skating, but he is in an awful place right now. And I was wondering if you are still able to get tickets for the upcoming nationals? I fully get if you don't want to help me with our historie and such."
"If I do this you'll owe me one right?" It was out before Victor could stop himself.
"Uhmm, yes I suppose."
"Than I'll ask Yakov if he can fix some extra tickets how many do you need?" Victor had no idea what had gotten into him, but the idea of Erick beeing be indebted to him felt like a good thing.
"Just two,"
"That won't be too much of a problem," With that done both policemen left, and Victor and Helena looked out of the window watching them drive away.
"What were they not willing to discuss with me?" Victor asked as the car left and both kept staring outside towards the gate.
"That their boss doesn't believe in the idea of a second person."
"Why not?"
"There is no evidence," Victor was about to, but Helena didn't give him enough space. "We only really have speculation, Think about the murder of Mister Yegor and Ivan, We indeed saw him leave, but he could still have snuck back in. And just as Yuuri said he loved to use scissors, so all the know evidence points to Igor."
"But you don't believe Igor killed his brother and father?"
"No I don't, and I don't even think he came up with the plan to take Yuuri. Makes it all the scarier knowing that there is someone else out there who orchestrated all of this and we still have no idea who he or she really is. And why they are doing this."
"But wasn't he obsessed with Yuuri in the first place?"
"Yes, but let's turn this around. How difficult could it have been to drag Igor into your plan if you promise that he would gain the person he is most obsessed with?"
"But how would you know he was obsessed with Yuuri, and that he is the way he is?"
"I guess that some people from his brother's companies knew. And if he really had as bad behaviour as Ivan said there might even be police records about his behaviour or at least a psychiatrist must have spoken to him."
"So there might be a lot of people who knew about the way he is."
"Yes, and let's say my theory is right and the other person is out to hurt you not Yuuri. If I wanted to hurt you and for instance knew where you would be with the person who was most important to you, I would go there. Meaby I wouldn't do something at that moment but gather information. Learn about the subject and then what if you happen to see Igor there watching Yuuri from a distance. And then you remember what kind of obsessive person he is. You form a plan and just wait for the right moment to strike."
"That would be a lot of luck for the other person."
"Maby but do you understand what it means if I am right?"
"Uhmm that some people are just lucky when they plan bad things."
"No. it means that the person we are looking for might be a lot closer than we have been thinking about." Victor didn't say anything he just let it all sink in. "And I know you are not going to like what I am about to say but hear me out first before you begin to shout." Victor just simply nodded his head. "If you sum up everything that has happened and then looks at some close friends of you. There is one person in your own friend group who would fit this picture perfectly." Victor looked at Helena who still stared out of the window. "Georgi," Victor indeed wanted to shout, ask her how she could come up with such a ridiculous Idea but he held himself back. "He was on the train, was in Russia when the murders took place, knew where you lived, could have heard about Igor behaviour in the rink, You took more gold medals away from him than anyone else, You gained Yuuri just after he lost his girlfriend and to top it all of you stepped down and Yuuri your student won over him the first competition they both participated in." Victor just stood there staring at Helena.
"No, I don't believe even a second that it is Georgi."
"I am not saying you have to, but he is on the top of my list of suspects."
"You are insane to believe that Georgi would do this."
"Maybe, but I am following my investigation as best as I can, and I won't leave any stone unturned."
What did the lot of you think about this new twist? Leave command and feedback because I like to read them and especially tell why you think something is the way it is. Also, I do a school project where I am making an illustrated web novel series. You can find this [renskeb . nl]. Just like this series has a lot of mystery and possibilities to go lose and speculate. And since I am an Art student who studies Illustration, you can find my art not just on my website but also on Instagram at And you can follow me on twitter RenskeBeuving. However, I won't be posting any more fanfiction story's updates there but about my own work, I will.
