CHAPTER 9 (The killer strikes again)

The next morning came around quickly and Ken was awoken by the alarm clock going off in his room. He got up and noticed that something smelled awfully good. He put on a robe and walked downstairs to his surprise Miyako was cooking breakfast.

"Morning Ken-Kun" she said

"morning.... what's all this" he questioned

"A power breakfast to help you find that killer today."

"Thanks" he said walking over and giving her a morning kiss

"here you go" she said putting eggs, bacon, and toast on his plate "eat up"

"Ummm Miko, I dunt like Bacon"

"Alright I'll eat it" she smiled and walked over by Ken and ate the bacon

"Only you Miko" said Ken smiling "only you love food this much"

"I do"

Matt rushed out of his house to head to the office this morning. He knew Izzy was gonna meet him there and he wanted to be there early.

"Great Izzy is never later" said Matt "But I am" he said running out of his car to the building.

"Phew!!"said Matt catching his breath "Made it"

"Hey Matt" said Ken as he poured a cup of coffee

"boy could I use one of those" said Matt

"Misty kept you up last night huh?" asked Ken

"she woke up 7 times last night"

"ahh, life with a child" said Ken

"Hey don't be laughin' you and Miyako will be having some too someday"

"Jumpin' to conclusions huh Matt"

"don't deny it Ken, you hope for that in your future"

"Maybe so but lets stick to the present, cracking this case would be good focus right about now!"

"Yeah, I can hardly sleep at night"

"me either, but I think Miyako has been sleeping better since she's been at my house."

"Hey guys" said Izzy walking in with his laptop

"Hey Izzy" said Matt and Ken

"Put me to work"

"alright lets get started" said Ken "Izzy could you analyze all the evidence that we found from both the houses."

"Sure thing where's the lab"

"down the hall and take a left first door on the right" said Ken

"alright I'm getting right to it."

"So Matt" asked Ken "do you still think it was Davis?"

"Why not I mean there have been no murders since we put him away. Did you realize that?"

"Yeah but even if Davis was jealous T.k. and Kari than why would he kill Kari I mean Davis really loved her he knew he could never have had her because she had Tk but it doesn't make sense that he would kill Kari wouldn't he have just killed Tk and than he could have like basically had Kari until she like found out."

"You do have a point Ken but maybe he was just so furious that he took it out on both of then. Maybe he doesn't even know he killed Kari."

"You mean like temporary insanity"

"Kinda"

"Matt I think Davis is already insane, and I'm still not ready to put him away or even to death with the little bit of evidence that we have on him."

"True" said Matt but I'm still bettin' it was him."

"Interesting" said Izzy "looking at the syringe from which they believe Tk was poisoned. But it never was tested for what kind of poisoning. I'm gonna run some tests on it."

Izzy tested the left over poison in the glass for what seemed like forever.

"Matt lets run through what we've got so far" said Ken

"starting with what he have from the murder of Miss Kari Kamiya" said Matt

"Nothing, Nothing, NOTHING!!!!" yelled Ken pounding his fist on the desk

"Calm down Ken" said Matt

"No we have no leads, no clues, no evidence, No Nothing!!!!"

"Easy Ken"

"No, If we can't solve this than what safety do we provide to everyone we know?, huh could you tell me that matt?, no you can't can you. How do I know that I won't end up going home tonight and finding Miyako dead in my own house..." Ken trailed off "I don't want that to happen"

"Neither do I, Ken" Matt responded "Don't think that I want to go home and find my family dead either."

"I'm sorry Matt" said Ken "I never should have lashed out at you"

"you're just frustrated, I know just how you feel."

"Thanks Matt, now lets start reviewing this."

About 8:30 in the evening only the three of them remained in the building. Izzy sat testing his material in the lab.

"Wow check this out this was totally davis's fingerprints but they don't match the ones on the syringe." said Izzy "meaning someone else poisoned Tk and not Davis."

"Right you are" said a shadowy figure that walked into the room Izzy was in.

"Who's there" said Izzy turning around to see who was behind him.

"Smart little Izzy" said the figure "you could be a real scientist with those skills"

"Who are you!" yelled Izzy

"To bad you won't be able to use them" said the figure

"What do you mean.....What do you want with me" Izzy said very shakily

"I want....I want" said the figure

"YOUR LIFE!!!!"he yelled "I want you to pay for what you've done" as the figure pulled out a gun and pointed it at Izzy.

"What I've done" said Izzy "I've done nothing but....You but your"

"Silence" yelled the figure as he took aim at Izzy

"Why are you doing this?" asked Izzy

"everyone must pay for this" the shadow continued

"this isn't how it should....."

"Shut up!" yelled the figure as itpulled the trigger on the gun. It shot into Izzy chest straight through. Izzy didn't even have time to yell. The young man fell to the ground in his own little pool of blood. And at that the killer ran out.

"What was that" yelled Matt

"oh no Izzy!" yelled Ken running out the door.

"Not again not again not Izzy." Matt muttered as he ran behind Ken

They ran down the hall into the lab. They stopped dead in their tracks when they came face to face with what had happened to Izzy.

"Call 911 Matt hurry."

Matt pulled out his cell phone and dialed "I need an ambulance immediately my friends been shot!!"

"Hold on Izzy hold on" yelled Ken to an unconscious Izzy. Ken applied pressure to Izzy gunshot wound to try to save as much blood as he could.

The ambulance arrived asap they put Izzy on a stretcher and took off for the hospital. Noone could ride with him because of his condition they needed time to work but Ken and Matt still were on their way.
