Detective Ulrich Stern: The Case of All Times part 2
Just
outside of the factory I park my car and pull out the file Jim gave
me. Turning on the interior light I quickly scanned through
it.
Spooky
stuff. It seems the girl Aelita's footprints literaly dissappeared
into thin air. They walked into the factory, clearly visible in the
dust, and then just stop. Also, while taking a look around, one of
the officers was killed by piece of masonry. Industrial accident,
accept the edge of was a clean cut, not a ragged crack.
I
finish off the file and stare out at the silent waiting
factory.
Opening
the glove box I pull out my revolver, check the bullets, climb out
and walk towards the dark brooding building.
Finding
the footprints were easy. In this dust everything stood out.
I
followed the smaller prints between the remaining big prints from the
police until I reached the point where they ended. In front of me was
a big pile of rubble, to the left and right open space with less
debris and some girders lining the walls. And behind me a series of
footsteps.
Three
in fact.
I
turn around and find myself face to faces with a trio of people: Two
guys and one woman. "Hello Sissi" I say warmly, keeping one
hand on th gun in my pocket.
"Hello
Ulrich" she said, practicly spitting out my name.
"Still
angry about that?" I ask, sighing. "Look, you just aren't
my type, OK?"
"Says
you" Sissi said angrily. For the last few months she's been
trailing me, trying to get my attention to the fact she wants me.
Now
as a hired muscle she's ok, but as a social person? Yeah,
right!
"Don't
be like that" I say soothingly, and winked. "I'm sure
there's someone out there for you"
"Well
right now, there's two people right here for you. Nick, Herve"
she said, nodding towards Ulrich, "Get him!"
Before
she even said get him I was off, running towards a corner off to the
left. Behind me I could hear the thuds of her goons as they gave
chase. Nick was the first to reach the corner, and he ran around it
at full speed, right into the the metal pole coming from the other
way.
With
a grunt he dropped to the ground, flipping through the air before
landing. Herve was close behind him, so close that he tripped over
Nick's passed out form. A smack to the head, and that left
Sissi.
Cautiously
she looked around the corner. Spotting her two knocked out guys she
pulled out her gun and slowly shuffled out, gun in front of
her.
"Come
out, come out wherever you are" she muttered, glancing left and
right.
"Ok"
I said from behind her.
What
a screamer! Luckily she still held the gun out away from her, giving
me the chance to knock it out of her hands before grabbing them and
and pulling them behind her back.
"Ow!"
She grunted as I forced her to the ground, one knee planted in her
back.
"Now
then, let's have a little chat" I said, putting some extra push
in my knee.
"Hello?"
a voice asked on the third ring.
"Hey,
that you Ms Ishiyima?" I ask.
"Ulrich?
I mean, Detective Stern, is something wrong?"
"Oh,
nothing's wrong" I said, smiling to myself at her slip.
"I
think I might have found something out. However, I need your help on
it"
"Of
course. What do you need me to do?"
"I
need you to get undressed right now-"
"What?!"
"And
put on your best dress. We're going to a party"
