Disclaimer: A little while ago I had an idea for a story. It should be about this dead guy who comes back to revenge his and his girlfriend's death. "He should have supernatural powers." I thought. Too bad......I found out someone else had this idea earlier and copyrighted it. So I don't own these characters okay?!
Please let me know what you think by writing review. Thanx...
Chapter 2: Discoveries
They stood in front of the building. Squad cars came and went, their sirens cutting through the peace of the past two weeks. "..And it's not even full moon." Two cops came out of the police station talking about tonight. "Kinda busy don't you think Eric?" Sarah looked worried and stood close to Eric. She wasn't scared easily, but when even cops are frightened by a sudden outburst of crime, she can't keep her head up for long. "Yeah, but as long as they are out fighting crime, they can't get in our way when we look for some files now will they?" Eric smiled, but his eyes told a whole different story. Eric too was worried. Albrecht was just the first to be victim to a giant crime wave that began running through the city.
As Sarah and Eric walked into the station, cops bumped into them, without even turning around to say sorry. Telephones were ringing constantly and the whole station seemed to be one big ant farm. Citizens sitting on benches and those who couldn't be seated walked around. A woman tried to get the desk clerk to help her, but he was badly overworked and told her to sit down or else she would get arrested. Darla was too busy to notice Sarah and her friend, so the two could easily enter the archives of the station. The man who usually guarded the files was called away only seconds before Eric and Sarah opened the door and entered the dusty chamber. It wasn't a really big room, and it was filled with cabinets to keep the files. "Oh man," Sarah sighed, "what the hell is going on tonight?" "Don't know, but it isn't good" Eric answered softly. His eyes looked for a cabinet the file of Hoyle Crater could be in. He found one that said "CONVICTIONS". He opened the drawer and was
surprised how big it was. He pulled it out completely, and it stretched for almost two metres. In the drawer were the files, but instead of nicely organised they lay scrambled. "This could take a while," Eric stated, "If you have anything else to do, go do it and don't stay here. If not, I'd appreciate your company and assistance." Sarah got a smile on her face and lifted some files out the cabinet and dropped them on the table in the middle of the room. "Thanks Sarah." Eric also picked up some files and sat next to Sarah. They both began searching for the needle in the proverbial haystack.
"Found it!" Sarah almost fell of her chair in the excitement. "Hoyle Crater right?" Eric nodded. "Hoyle Crater. Raped and murdered sixteen women, six years ago. Albrecht caught him and made sure he was put away for life. When he knew he had lost to Albrecht he shot himself in the leg and blamed Albrecht. Wow, he's not very bright now is he? Nobody would believe him and tests could easily reveal the truth." Sarah leaned back in the chair looking at Eric. He was listening with his eyes closed. "Eric? You awake?" Sarah now held her face in front of Eric's and plunged back in her chair when he suddenly opened his eyes and asked her to continue. "Where was I? Oh, right, he shot himself. He was given life and in court he swore to get back to Albrecht even if it was the last thing he did." Eric looked upset. "Well, his attempt to do so will be the last thing he'll do for all I'm concerned. But my greatest concern is how he escaped from prison. In what prison was he doing his time?"
"Falcon prison in the north of the city. Should be the best in town. This shows what that's worth." Sarah mocked, but fully understood how serious the situation was. A hardened criminal escaped from prison and had it in for Albrecht. Their friend. "Does it say anything else?" Eric wondered. "Nope, nothing important." Sarah was surprised there was only one piece of paper in the file. Most criminals have a file that could be categorised as a book. Not those cheap paperbacks, but the real novels. Also the fact that there was so little information about this guy in his file worried Sarah. Eric however stayed cool and motioned Sarah to go to the door. He followed, leaving the files on the table. Both bumped into the security guard of the room, but neither he nor Eric said a word.
"So where are we going now?" Sarah wondered. "I'm going to Falcon prison to ask about Crater." "No way Eric." Sarah interrupted him "No way you're doing this to me. You've got me involved already and now I've lived out my use, you're going to send me somewhere else? Sorry, won't work this time pal. Albrecht's my friend to and I will be careful." Sarah raised her voice when she said this and Eric looked confused, because he forgot that it was Sarah and not an ordinary girl he was talking to. "You didn't let me finish" he began "I'm going to Falcon prison to ask about Crater, and you go check out Albrecht's place and search for anything regarding this case. Wouldn't be the first time he kept his files at home. You have a key right?" "Right!" Sarah was excited to help Eric and a smile appeared on her face. She took off saying it and ran as fast as her legs could take her. Eric smiled and walked the other way.
The guard at the gate of the prison halted Eric. "Whoa pal, what's your purpose here?" "I'm here to visit my bestest friend." Eric didn't know why he said that. Only the crow would make such mocking remarks, and then only before he kills or hurts someone. Also the grin on his face was not Eric's. "I mean, I'm here to do some research. If you could take me to the chief, I'd be grateful." The guard looked at Eric, frowned, and let him in. "When you get in, the office is to the left. Good luck." He let Eric pass and closed the gate. "Little thanks never hurt anyone." He said to himself. He followed with his eyes until he got in the prison.
Eric got to the office and knocked. He was invited in and the warden motioned him to sit down. Eric asked the warden about Hoyle Crater and if it would be possible to take a look at his file. "You should talk to the archiver. He knows where all that stuff is, not me. Just take the stairs, archive's in the back. Can't miss it.
Eric got to the archives and saw the archiver sitting in his chair. "What do you want?" He asked without looking up. "I want to take a look at a file of a prisoner here. Hoyle Crater's his name." "One moment.." The old man got out his chair and walked into the archive. The man must have been over seventy for his back was all crooked and his hair was almost completely gone. After a few minutes the man came back and he carried a large box. "Also brought his belongings, `cause I assume you're a cop or a family member. If you're not, I don't know what you want with the file of a dead man." Eric was surpised when he heared this. He sat down and started to go through Crater's file which was marked "DECEASED". The file said he cut his own throat with a plastic spoon. The picture was that of the man Eric saw in his vision. Suddenly Eric felt nauseous. This was new for him. Well, he got sick when he was alive, but he never got sick or nauseous since he came back as the crow. His head
started pounding and he got dizzy. Before he understood what was going on, the Crow came to the surface and stood tall in the room. He walked over to the old man. "Enjoy your job?" he asked with his scraping voice and before the man could even look back to see who was talking to him, the Crow grabbed his head and broke his neck in an instant. Out of nowhere the big, black crow came flying and landed on the Crow's right shoulder. The Crow ran out of the prison and knocked down the gate Eric entered through yelling in a childish fashion "Can you open the gate please?. The guard was standing in front of it, and now he lay beneath it, knocked out. "Thank you!" The Crow exclamated and ran of.
