The Killing at District 12

There were mysterious murders taking place at District 12 every last weekend of the month and the serial killer was at large. "Our killer was not just deliberately peeling of the face of his victims. He was also eviscerating their body and purging out their organs, particularly their hearts. It was like the killer wanted to remove everything that made one human." Two people who used to be high school friends and also shared a painful past; both lost a loved one on an incident that happened six years ago decided to join hands to solve this mystery. One was retired a forensic anthropologist who turned a new leaf and chose to become a professor at a medical school While the other was a former law enforcement officer who had decided to be into seminary and was just a step away from becoming an officially ordained priest Will they be able to identify the notorious killer that lurked the shadows of their district???

hello from the other side

Saenz is in the shower, and his CD player is turned way up, Carlo Bergonzi singing Rossini's rousing "La Danza." He sings along with the Italian tenor, his own powerful, resonant voice bouncing off the bathroom walls, "Già la luna è in mezzo al mare / mama mia, si salterà! / L'ora è bella per danzare / chi è in amore non

marcherà!" while the water beats on the shower curtain.

Suddenly the volume is turned way down. Saenz stops, turns off the shower taps quickly and listens. There is no other sound coming from the bedroom.

The priest draws the curtain aside, reaches for a towel, and wraps it around his waist. He cracks open the door and sees Jerome sitting at the foot of his

bed, reading a newspaper.

The younger priest looks up. "Most stereo component

systems come with a control knob that can reduce the volume of even the loudest aria."

Saenz pads out of the bathroom on wet feet. "But I can't hear it from inside the shower," he protests.
