(Before this story starts, I just wanted to say that I wont post a new chapter every day. I might miss a few days or something like that. There might also be days when I really feel like writing and post two chapters in one day.
Also If you guys want me to change anything or if there's something that's wrong, please let me know! Okay, I'm done. Enjoy this chapter :P)
Chapter 4After placing the phone back where I had picked it up, I leaned back in my seat. A smile was spread across my face. I had asked a few of my contacts to tap into a few video cameras around the cabs route.
I needed to keep a watch on this guy, see how he did and what he came up with to get these murders started. I did extra research on Jeff Hope earlier, knowing before hand that he was quite intelligent despite his impending death. He was very smart, as I expected. His IQ was very high. The one thing I didn't understand was why he was a cab driver. Maybe he didn't have enough money to enter collage? Most likely. What he had said in the cab, that could tell what people were going to do before they did it, made me glad that I had picked him. It was perfect. He wouldn't be noticed by the police. They were too normal to understand something like this. The only thing left to do now was wait for him to begin. For him to call.
The phone rang suddenly. Expecting this, I sat up in the chair again. It wasn't Jeff, too early for that. Picking up the phone and pressing the answer button, I placed it to my ear.
"Did you tap all the cameras I asked for," I asked into the phone.
There was a short pause before the man relied "Yes, I've sent you an email to the link that will connect you to them," another pause "So... Is my family safe now?" He asked. I laughed. Threats were so fun.
The worry in their voices as they asked the most important question. "Yes, I'll recall the people. Your family will be safe. Thank you for your... Cooperation" I replied. I then hung up and turned to my computer.
All the screens showed the normal Google search bar. I typed a code into the search bar, bringing me to an email that I had set up for me. Just to be safe. You never know who could see your email.
The companies that hold your email say they'll keep your information safe, but they monitor all of our emails every day, reporting anything that seems odd to the police.
I typed another code into the bar that was brought up onto the screen. With my email finally open, I went to my inbox and clicked the only email there. After clicking the email, I pressed the link that he had sent.
Suddenly, all my screens filled with videos of side walks. I scanned the screens searching for cab 71126. On my right screen I found the cab. It was on the video at the center left of the monitor.
it was getting dark outside, the sun casting a faint yellow over everything. Rays of orange light were cast over the buildings, making shadows sprawl out across the ground.
The cab was parked on a curb, hidden by the shadows that spread everywhere. The walkway was busy, but one man stood out. Only because he was walking right towards the cab 71126. The first victim.
He entered the cab and Jeff drove off with the man in the back seat. Only a mater of time now I thought. Observing the screens, I realized that the cab wasn't on any of the videos.
Smart I remarked He knows that the cab company will probably be watching his route. I stood up deciding to get tea while I was waiting.
All I had to do now was let this man do the killing, send him the money, and wait until this Sherlock found out what was going on.
It's been a few days now from when the killings had started. The police have been to get into it, considering all these murders have been the same. This was the plan.
I needed them to contact Sherlock, as they always did when they were stuck. One more murder and I was sure that he would become interested.
There have been murders three by now, each one I sent the man money for his kids. He was becoming more enthusiastic about this, coming up with better ways every time. He gave them a choice.
Which ever pill they picked, he would take the pill they hadn't chosen. The reason he was still alive was because he was playing games with their minds.
Some how, he would trick them into taking the one that would kill them. I had chosen well. Now, they were bringing the great Sherlock into this.
Jeff had just finished killing poor Jennifer Wilson. I was watching Sherlock's home which he had recently moved into with another man named John.
He was a doctor, and Sherlock was now using him as some sort of an assistant. John was good, but could later on be used as a weakness of Sherlock's.
The phone rang just as I had sat back down at my desk. I reached over and picked it up, pressing the answer call button. "Jeff? What is it?" I asked. There was a pause, then Jeff's voice.
"I didn't know, she left her case and phone in the back seat. They could find me now if they figured out that she had a phone with her," he whispered. I smiled.
This was perfect. I had a great idea. "Jeff," I began "Get rid of the case. Somewhere near Sherlock's, but not too noticeable. Sherlock will probably find it. Figure out a way to get him away from his house for a bit.
There will be people that will want to search his house. Keep him away until they arrive. After he gets back, drive in front of his house and try to get him to come with you.
He'll probably want to see how you did it, so use that. Do what you've been doing with the other victims, see if he picks the correct pill. This will be his final test," I finished explaining my plan.
I heard a small snicker from Jeff "You are a quick thinker. I'll come up with a way to get him to come with me. Put cameras in this building," He told me the address and I wrote it down "We'll be there soon." He hung up.
I called some people, making arrangements to get the cameras placed. This was what I was waiting for. Finally I thought I'll get to see how good he really is.
(Sorry that each chapter is so short. If you want me to make them longer then you can just tell me. I'll be happy to try and make them longer. This one was probably the shortest one. Yeah, sorry. I hope you peoples like my story though. I really like writing it so if you guys like it then that makes it a million times better cx Thanks for reading and leaving a Review if you do.)
