Hi Everyone.

I would just like to say thanks to Mozzi-girl and Oryt for taking the time to review my first chapter.

Enjoy the new one!

You are Natara Williams.

"Mal!"

Your eyes follow your partner dashing out of the police department. You are about to question him, but then you hear it too… The distinct scream of a woman in the distance. You need to find her.

"Mal, This way!"

You know where the sound is coming from… you dart through the busy streets but when you find the body… it is too late. Your eyes meet the gruesome scene of a young woman, a knife placed through her heart. You attempt to examine the rest of her body for any signs of struggle…but there are none.

"Natara, I don't understand. If this is the same killer…"

"Mal, we both know it is."

"Why would he go from a private setting to this?"

You watch as Mal's eyes dart around the busy streets, observing the terrified pedestrians before he continues to speak.

"Nothing is right here… why would our murderer's next kill be in broad daylight… why would it be so close too the police station?"

You quickly search the scene… and then you know.

"Mal!"

You escape the scene as quickly as posibble.

"Mal! Quick!"

You escape… as a bomb explodes directly behind you and you know the answers to Mal's questions.

"It was a set up. The killer wanted us here and he knew we would come. We fell right into his trap."

Mal stops you.

"No. Almost fell right into his trap. And never mind that, are you okay?"

"Just peachy. How are you?"

"Fine, thanks for asking."

You and Mal share an oddly fitting chuckle, then returning to your work.

"So, what to do now?"

You think for a moment.

"Even if this was a set up, it was still in broad daylight…"

"With lots of witnesses."

"Exactly!"

You and Mal split up, interviewing everyone you can for evidence. You approach an elderly man. He is clearly shaken.

"Sir, could you please answer me some questions."

"Oh, of c-course officer. What would you l-like to know?"

"Did you witness anyone in the act?"

"It all h-happened so f-fast. I couldn't s-see anyone."

"Thank you for your time, sir."

You talk to countless people… everyone is shaken but no one knows anything. And after talking to Mal… he knows the same.

"Natara, is there no chance this is just a copycat killer?"

"No. The case was not released to the press yet. It's not possible."

"But of course now everyone will know."

You both observe the scene in havoc; the petrified crowd surrounding around the scene for a couple of minutes before you see the Captain walk over to where you are.

"Are you both okay?"

You turn to Mal before answering.

"Yes. We're fine."

"Good to know. Bill, her boyfriend is waiting to be interrogated although in knowing what has just happened… I think we can safely rule him out as a subject."

You feel yourself tense.

"Captain. I am not letting another girl die. I will find this killer. I promise."

Mal and the Captain believe you in this moment but in only a few hours… you will know your promise has been broken.

You have reached the end of Chapter 2.
