CHARLIES HOUSE
"What the hell is this?" Charlie said as he reread the card.
"Give me that and don't open the box." Don said as took the card out of Charlie's hands and look at the box. Don took out his cell phone and called Megan.
"Hey are you guys still there?" Don asked with tension in his voice.
"Yes why?" Megan asked with worry lacing her voice.
"Good because I'm coming over right now," Don said. Before Megan could say anything else he hung up.
"Charlie I'm going to take this box with me down to the station ok." Don as he picked up the box and headed to the door.
"Ok do you need help opening the door?" Alan asked as he walked towards his eldest son.
"Thanks dad" Don said as walked out of the house.
"I'll try to come by tomorrow," Don continued as he got into is car and drove.
THE STATION
"What's up Don why did you want us to stay here and wait for you?" Megan asked as she walked up to him.
"What's with the box?" Colby asked as he came up behind Megan with David trailing behind.
"I don't know but we'll find out when we open it," Don said as he walked into the conference room. He set the box on the table and waited till everybody was in the room.
"Tonight some one broke into Charlie's car and put this present in it." Don said as he pointed to the box.
"Attached to this box was this letter." Don continued as he pulled the letter out of pocket.
"The letter said this:
Dear pet,
I think its time for me to introduce myself to you my pet. I can't tell you my name yet but you can call me master. I hope you know that we were meant to be together you just don't know it yet. I will win your heart and steal your love from Amita and you will be mine. In the present there are items in there that you will use in the future. By the end of this game you will be mine.
With love,
Your master"
Don finished the letter and looked at his team.
"Wait Don you think it's that winner guy do you?" Colby asked as he stood up to look at the box.
"I don't know I just wanted to run it over you guys first." Don said as leaned back on the table.
"Have you opened the box yet?" David asked as he put some gloves.
"No wanted to make sure if there are any finger prints in there we wouldn't be messing with evidence." Don said as he to put gloves on to open the box.
"Well lets crack this bad boy open," Colby as he put some gloves on and took the top off of the box. Inside the box were many unusual things. One of the things in there was a necklace, a dog caller, candy and a couple of books about math.
"That explains why it was so heavy." Don said as he looked for anything else in the box.
"Don I don't think it's the same guy were looking for," Megan said as she looked him straight in the eye.
"I know I just wanted to make sure Charlie wasn't the prize." Don said with relief in his voice.
"We understand you were just being an older brother." David said as he took his gloves off.
"I guess your right" Don said as he walked out of the conference room and sat at his desk.
WINNERS P.O.V
I can't believe they fell for that he thought as he watched them looked threw it. Did they actually think I would reveal myself that early in the game he thought? This is just the beginning he thought. He turned around and looks at his victim tied to the chair.
"Don't worry you'll be leaving soon," He said with a maniacal smile on his face as he took out a knife and walked towards the man tied to the chair.
THE STATION
"Don we've got a name on the victim." David said as he walked into the room with a file in his hand.
"Good so what's his name?" Colby asked as he walked towards David.
"His name was Carter Johnson." David said as he put the picture on the board.
"He worked at with a contractions company called Lopez Inc. He as a wife and they are expecting a child on the way," David said as he looked through his file as he leaned on his desk.
"Is there any reason why anyone would want to kill this man?" Don asked as he grabbed his own copy of the file.
"There's nothing Don this guy was totally clean not so much of a parking ticket," Colby said as he flipped threw his own copy of his file.
"So if there was nothing to kill him over then why did he do it?" Don asked no one in particular. Don suddenly got a call on his desk phone.
"Epps," Don said as he held the phone to his ear.
"Guys we've got to go they've found another body and it has a note attached to it," Don said as they headed towards the elevator.
WITH CHARLIEE
Charlie sighed as he packed up his back and got ready to go as he stood up to leave. Well today's been an eventful day he thought as he opened and door and walked out. Charlie didn't get far before he tripped over something that was sitting in front of his classroom. What was that he thought as he looked at his feet to see what he tripped on, it was another box. He stared at it with a nervous look on his face. Should I open it? Charlie thought as he looked at the box again. Well it couldn't hurt Charlie thought as he opened the box. What was in it surprised him and stumped him, it was a beautiful necklace. The chain of the necklace was white gold imported and it had the pie sign hanging from the middle also in white gold imported. Wow Charlie thought as he picked it up genteelly as he looked at it in his hands. Without thinking he put the necklace around his neck. It's really comfortable he thought as he fingered it around his neck. I hope people don't think it's to girly on me Charlie thought for a seconds before dismissing the thought from his head. It took one last look over the box to see if there was a note or a card attached to it to only find none. I wonder if it's the same guy who sent me that other present Charlie thought as he got up off the floor to look around to see of anyone was there. I wonder if I'll meet the guy in person Charlie thought as he ran the idea threw his head of meeting someone who could be mentally unstable. Charlie shutters as he turned around and walked out of the Build.
EARLYER AT THE CRIME SCENE
Don stepped out of the car and started walking towards the crime scene.
"Is it the same as the last victim?" Don asked as Colby and David walked beside him.
"What I got from them was that it was the same except there were game pieces all over the body," Colby said as they got closer to the body.
"Game pieces?" Don asked a little confused.
"What type were they?" David asked as they were almost in front of the body.
"Why don't you look?" Colby said as he lifted back the cover that was on top of the body. Around the body were all the pieces to a chess game. There was a game board sitting on top of the body and on it showed the king stand there alone and it showed the knight five spaces away. The one thing that stood out to them was that on the other side of the board stood another knight facing the wrong way.
"What do you think it means?" David asked as he looked at the body again.
"I don't know maybe Megan can tell us when we got back to the station," Colby said as he started walking towards his car.
AT THE STATION
"So Megan what do you think about how we found the body?" Colby asked as he sat in one of the chairs in the conference room.
"Well in my professional opinion is that the king represents the prize and the knight represents him. The five spaces the knight is away from the prize must mean there will be five more killings, and furthermore I think the other knight knows the prize and is trying to stop this guy from get him but is going in the wrong direct." Megan finished up as she looked up at her teammates face.
"And you get all this from a chess board?" David asked her as he looked at her in amazement.
"Well it is my job," Megan said with a joking tone in her voice.
"So do we have a name on our victim or what?" Don asked as he looked at his team.
"Well this time it was easier to find the name of the victim. His name was Henrie Moore." Colby said as he read it from the file.
"So was there anything on this guy or was he just like the other guy?" Don questioned as he went to grab his own file.
"He as the same record like the Carter it's spotless," David said as he flipped threw his file.
"Man we're getting nowhere in case!" Don yelled frustrated that they hade not one single piece of evidence on this guy. Don sat down with a sigh as he closed his eyes.
"It's ok Don we just started this case were sure to find some evidence soon," Megan said as she tried to lighten the move. I wonder if we'll ever catch this guy? Don thought as he got up and walked out the door.
WINNERS P.O.V
I watched as Charlie picked up my necklace and looked at with awe. This was perfect he thought he's falling write into it. I was even more pleased as he put the necklace on. Nothing in the world could explain his happiness. I hope he likes my present he thought because every king needs his bling. Now on to faze two of my plane he thought.
"SOME ONE HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPP!" his victim screamed as he tried to get out of his binds.
"not yet your not leaving today I have to keep you for a few more days," winner said as he traced his blade on the mans chest. The man was beautiful dark blonde hair and nice skin. But not as beautiful as my pet he thought as he looked at this man. They do have one thing in common he thought there all innocent!
