CHAPTER 2: THE CASE
At BPD Headquarters
The team had just arrived and were being escorted to the bullpen. They reached detective Micheals desk in a matter of minutes. He was on the phone.
"are you sure Luke?" he asked …………….. "alright we'll be right there." he hung up the phone and turned to the team. "bad news he said we've got another one. Follow me I'll take you there."
"alright Kagome, Koga and I will go to the scene. Miroku you Kikyo and Sango go and interveiw the victims friends find out everything you can about the victims." they all separated.
WITH INUYASHA,KAGOME,AND KOGA
The group drove to a secluded part of the main city park. They parked and walked a few feet to a ditch where the body was found. "my god" Koga stated. "who could do something like this?"
"a very sick and twisted individual" Inuyasha replied. Kagome stood there looking down at the body studying everything about the crime scene. She noticed a tarp.
"detective was that tarp covering the body when you found her?" she asked
"yea why. What does that have to do with anything?' he asked back
"covering the body would show that the unsub feels remorse for the victim. Were any of the other victims covered?" Inuyasha asked.
"no none." the group turned to each other to discuss the finding."
"ok well maybe the unsub had the chance to get to know the victim before this and he couldn't control himself." Inuyasha said.
"that could be true she could have also rejected him when he thought they were getting close." Koga reasoned.
"do you think there could be a dominating personality?" Kagome asked. "maybe that's why he covered her. He didn't want to kill her but the other side took over."
"if that's so then there's also a possibility that he has a partner whose calling all the shots. Maybe even a mentor." Inuyasha said. The three stood in silence pondering their theories when detective Micheals called up to them.
"hey we found the note." he said. He passed it up to the group it read "PRIDE"
"looks like we only have three left." Koga said.
MEANWHILE
"So who are we interviewing first?" Kikyo asked
"Kathy Stevens. She's the first victims roommate Sara Keefer." Miroku explained "we're about twenty minutes out." there was a few minutes of silence.
"so what do you guys think of the new girl?" Kikyo asked
"I think she's pretty cool I mean I didn't get to talk to her all that much though" Sango said
"hey as long as she does her job then she's ok in my book." Miroku said.
"did you notice the way Inuyasha was looking at her?" Kikyo asked.
"yea, you think he likes her?" Sango asked.
"maybe." Kikyo replied. They both looked toward Miroku.
"what?" he asked confused.
"well you're his best friend you should know." Kikyo said.
"he just met her we haven't had the chance to talk about that kind of stuff yet." he said pulling into the parking lot of the dorm. They all got out and headed to the third floor they stopped at room number 37. They knocked on the door. After a few seconds a tall blond women with big blue eyes that were red and puffy as if she were crying answered the door.
"can I help you" she asked.
"hello miss Stevens I'm agent Houshi this is angent Taji and Agent Kanji were with th FBI we're here investigating the murders from the past couple weeks and we were hoping to ask you some questions about Sara." miroku said.
"um yea sure come on in." she said stepping aside. "what do you need to know?" she asked.
"well first of all is there anything in Sara's personality that can be construde as greed?"
"well truthfully the only thing I can think of would be the fact that she likes to shop you know but she always looks for bargins so not to spend more than she has to. But when it comes to her friends she'll spend everything she has on them"
"have you noticed anyone suspicious around the dorm lately anywhere from maybe at least a month before the murder?"
"no nothing like that but Sara said that she felt like someone was watching her all the time when she was in here. And there was a few times that I felt that way." she explained. While kikyo and miroku asked questions sango walked over to the window. When she looked out she realized there was a giant oak tree that would provide the perfect cover for recon.
"what did you find ?" Kikyo asked coming up behind her.
"look at this tree it would be perfect for watching everything that she did." sango said.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Kathy exclaimed. " I can't believe I didn't realize it"
"what's wrong?" Miroku asked.
" michelle's room is directly below this one and Karen's room is directly above this one. The tree reaches all the way to the fifth or sixth floor." she explained. They three looked at each other surprised.
"Sango call Inuyasha and tell him what we found have them meet us here. Kikyo call campus security tell them to meet us outside the girls dorm. We need to check out the rest of these rooms."
BACK AT CRIME SCENCE
RING, RING, RING
"Hello?" Inuyasha answered the phone. "Sango what's up?……… are you sure?……….ok we'll be there in a few minutes."
"what's up?" Koga asked.
"the others figured out how the unsub was keeping track of his victims. We need to get to the campus to check everything out." they ran back to the car and took off for the campus.
