Ayako slammed the door shut. She leaned against the wooden frame and panted lightly, her nerves jumping erratically.

Ding-dong.

She screamed, jumping away from the door. A low voice came through, "Aya-chan? It's me!"

"Ryo…Ryota?"

Her husband unlocked the door and came in, closing it behind him, "Oh my god, Aya-chan, you are so pale!" He gathered her into his arms, feeling her shaking violently, "It's okay…it's okay…"

"Ryo…I feel useless," Ayako started to sob, "I'm not supposed to be afraid. It's my job. I have to catch the culprit… But…" Her voice broke off as she buried her face in Miyagi's chest.

"Aya-chan…it's not a crime to be afraid…I'm here for you."

Sendoh forked some instant noodles into his mouth, "Mmm…I really like what I'm eating now…" His eyes fell on the computer screen, "…shit."

Rukawa rose an eyebrow, "You like eating shit?"

"No, it's not that!" He rushed over to the computer. An email just came in, with the title of:

Can't catch me.

The sender was

Ripper.

Sendoh raked a hand through his hair, all drooped and un-gelled after two days of ceaseless working, "Our previous data was documented into CD-RWs, but thing is, we could not track the murderer's IP address in this case. The murderer had gone further into his sickening rampage. He had taken to sexually abusing the female." A look of violent disgust displayed on his face.
