Suspect - 2

At night 10 O'clock

_____________________________________

It was a bone chilling night, even after turning the heater on and being tucked in pile of blankets, I was feeling a light breeze playing on my skin. I was surfing internet. Reading some news and searching some books.

Suddenly a thought entered my mind, "What has happened to Oliver? He is behaving in very different way than before. The way he let the phone call interrupt our meeting and without even slightest hesitation, being all time on his phone even while we were thinking about what happened in morning. Strange."

I was lost in my thoughts and my phone started ringing. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the screen, an unknown number popped on my screen. I was debating on if I should pick it up. My finger moved on it's own and picked up the call. Both lines were silent, and suddenly a voice boomed from the another side. It was hard to detect if it was woman's voice or of man.

"I did as I promised, it's on you to hurry." the phone was hung up. I was confused and silent, suddenly the note received from Head Hider. My fingers moved on their own, I searched for Fred's number and called him. The phone ringed for few minutes.

"Hello." Fred spoked in a tired voice. I debated for few seconds if I want to tell him what happened, as he is so much tired.

"Hello Fred, sorry to call you this late, but I received a call from an unknown number. I'm sure it was him, he said 'I did as I promised, it's on you to hurry.' I think he have left us some hint. Think you

can trace this number's location? And under whose name this number is registered?" The line was silent after I finished talking.

"Yes I can trace this number, send me the details of the number and if by any chance you've recorded the call, send me that recording too." Fred's voice sounded more conscious now than before.

"One more thing, he might be using voice changer and few more other technologies. We need to hurry." I hung up the phone, and send him the details and the recording. I got up and started to get ready, I was done with tying my hair up, and my phone ranged Fred's name popped up on screen. I received the call.

"Hello, I got the location of the caller, and you won't believe under whom the number is registered." Fred's voice sounded a little panicked.

"whose?" I asked little doubtfully.

"Oliver Williams." Fred's voice was falling on my ears, I went totally blank. The gears were turning in my mind.

"Hello, are you there Loveena?" I nodded to myself.

"Yes, and what about the location?" Trying my best to hold myself together. Knowing Oliver won't do anything like that.

"Come down, I'll tell you about location after we meet." He hanged up the phone. I grabbed my jacket on my way out, locking the door back, and getting down stairs to find Fred's car standing there. Reaching the car, I settled in. It was pretty warm inside, I looked at Fred as he started the car.

"So, are you going to tell me about the location?" He handed me a phone, on the screen there was a live map. I zoom out the map only to be disappointed more. The location shown on the screen was of Oliver's house.

"Police are on their way for our protection." Fred said in soft voice.

Sighing out loud, "You know Oliver will not do such thing. I believe his behavior was different on the other day, but no, he won't do such horrible thing. The criminal has done this on purpose. To frame him, so we will be distracted, and will help Oliver in proving himself not guilty." I was blabbing. Taking my phone out, I typed a message to Lily and others informing them of the situation.

When we reached the location it was already sealed with yellow tapes. Ambulance was on place, and media was trying to push through the tapes. We pushed our way through the sea of reporters. Finally parking the car we got out of it. I sighed, and took a look at the surrounding. Officer Ben approached us, "Come with me, we found something horrible." I could feel the little shiver in his voice.

We reached to back of house, by grace of god there were no reports back here. I saw many people with white coat and gloves back there and another small ambulance. Officer James handed me and Fred a pair of hand gloves. Putting them on I approached the place where everyone were standing.

I gasp a little as I saw what was there. There was a head of Miss. Audrey James, eyes were clawed out, teeth were plucked out, lips were soaked in blood and the blood was dried. Mouth was kept open and the plucked eyes were placed in mouth, tongue was pulled out and was laying over the ground. The skin was peeling, It was hard to recognize her, but still was able to recognize a little.

It was really so horrible scene, photographers were taking photos of the head, Nora was taking samples and trying to collect fingerprints, which were obviously not there.

"Come with me, Loveena." Nora's voice pulled me out of my haze. I nodded, and started walking behind her. She got into ambulance Alex was there, his eyes were bloodshot, result of the series of murder in town. She put down a paper, there were few fingerprints on the sheet, my face lit up. I looked up at her, and she nodded as she knew what I was going to ask.

"This are the killers fingerprints. maybe he thought after he touched the dead skin his fingerprints won't be able to find. He forgot we got a lot advanced technology." Nora talked with a little hint of proud.

I smiled at her and asked, " Did you found anything else?" She nodded, and handed me a note, packed in evidence bag.

"We found this pinned to the forehead. I think it was meant for you."

I took the bag in my hands, and started reading the the note.

"Don't be happy on this little success, You have to fight bigger battle than this one. Take care, and All the best.

I Promised you I'll leave a hint for you so here the hint is.

I'll kill the actress this time.

And oh I forgot about the media, I wanted you to have some fame and popularity, so thought I might help you a little. See you on the TV

Your,

Head Hider."

Wheels of thoughts were turning in my head faster, feeling a little under pressure cause this kind of news are not hard to spread.

"What about Oliver? Is he ok?" I asked while putting the evidence bag on table. Nora and Alex looked at each other.

"He is on run." Fred's was standing at the door of ambulance. I tilt my head a little.

"It's not possible! He is not what evidence are saying!" I was panicked.
