Chapter 7

The Killer: Luke Green

Luke Green was the person holding the gun.

Gus whispered to Shawn. "Was he the person you thought he was?"

"Yes."

But Shawn's cell phone rang.

Luke gave Shawn a look. "Answer the phone. Tell whoever it is that everything is all right and get off the phone with them…" he moved the gun to Gus' temple. "…Or else."

Shawn answered the phone. "Hello?"

It was Henry.

"Shawn! I thought you were going to come over and help me clean out the crap in my fireplace."

"Listen Dad! I'm busy working on a case. It involves a bird and a slingshot. I really need to go."

Shawn hung up.

Luke smiled. "Very good. Now, we're going to take a trip to your house. The Random Killer could use 2 more victims."

They were in Luke's car. Gus whispered to Shawn, "Start talking. Maybe we'll get lucky."

Shawn remained silent for a few minutes then screamed.

Luke turned around but then refocused his attention to the road.

"I know what happened. You were having an affair with Jacqueline Morister. Then, you found out she was pregnant. You couldn't risk her telling your wife about the affair. So, you killed her with a baseball bat and then threw her body over the balcony. It was night, so you figured it was safe. But there was a 24 Hour Fitness across the street and they clearly saw your truck waiting right next to her body and they saw you. You couldn't risk keeping them all alive, but you didn't want them to make the connection between Jacqueline Morister's death and you're soon to be Serial killer victims. So, you buried the poor girl, waited a few hours, and then killed the receptionist and decapitated her using a machine and hid her body in the locker. You went through the files and found the names of all the people that were there at the time of your mistress' murder. The next day, you killed them all one by one in graphic ways, to make sure you wouldn't get squealed on. You killed 9 people, just to get away with an affair. That's sick. However, I figured out you were the killer when you said, 'I'm sorry she got hit with a baseball bat. But there was know way you could've known that. The press did not get a word of it as Lassadopolis told a cop back in Chapter 5 (breaking the 4th Wall again) not to do. The only way you could've known, unless you were the killer yourself."

"You just told me a whole bunch of stuff I already know. Well, it doesn't matter you won't live much longer. We're at your Psych Office."

Luke pushed both Shawn and Gus into the office. "Now, how should I kill you?"

Gus looked at Shawn with concern. He didn't want it to end like this.

Shawn got an idea. "Listen Luke. I should warn you that the police is coming soon. I tipped my dad off when he called the my cellphone."

He looked confused. 'That's impossible! I was listening on your conversations."

"It is not impossible. You see, The Bird and a Slingshot is a code me and my dad used when I was a kid that meant, "I'm in Danger," when we were playing Cops."

"How stupid can you be for telling me that? So long!" He held up the gun and cocked it.

What happened next, happened fast. Sirens. The Chief. Lassiter. Juliet. Henry. A Gunshot. Blackout.
