CHASING LIGHT IN DARKNESS by Shkumbin Gashi (sad books to read .TXT) 📖

from the Angel killer will continue.

 Doctor Hawkins: Now they have a name for it.

Steven: And what a name Angel killer this is because the scars he leaves on victims chests is that right?

Bruce: Yes that is the reason why they give that name, but why they have to leave a name and make him more get more power.

 

News reporter: We have sent the camera on different places of London and asked people about what its happening. Let’s follow some of them.

Woman: I live here for 40 years and we never seen something like this, the police department have to act fast that s why we are paying them to protect us. I’m scared of it. Do something or there will be more killings and I don’t want to be one of them.

Old man: Times have changed in my time we didn’t see those things. A man killed for honor or to protect homeland not only why he or she doesn’t like people. Until police officers solve this we have to be very careful where we go. We have to fear for the safety of our children.

News reporter: We heard those worried people and now let’s get back at …..

They have the right to inform the public but they are spreading more fear and panic over them said Bruce talking to his colleagues.

Steven: We have a statement to make on 15 minutes and we will explain things there to them, I ll take care of it

Bruce: I ll do it, you have done enough man it’s not even your case but you are helping a lot. In the end you are my commander.

Steven: Okay just be careful what you say. After it come in my office and inform how it went.

Bruce: I will and Mrs. Norris is everything prepared on the room of conferences.

Mrs. Norris: Yes sir, everything is set the journalists are there a dosed of them actually, we are waiting only you.

Bruce went in conference room with fast steps and it started….

Bruce: Good morning and thank you for coming here. As you are informed in past few days in London are happening some killings three already that have made us very worried.

It’s important to remain calm and work hard to catch the killer and this will be done with the help of you journalists and our people.

We in the department are working with all resources we have got to solve the case as fast as we can. For the moment we are working with our evidences from the crime scenes and hope they will send us to the killer.

We would be very grateful if you are careful what you say in the news for the case because this could help him or her archive what he really want. This is it for now.

Journalist 1: Are you close on finding the identity of killer?

Bruce: We are working in our evidences but until now we don’t have anything concrete.

Journalist 2: There are words that angel killer is the copycat of Jack the Ripper is that true.

Bruce: I can’t respond to that, but I would be very grateful if we don’t jump to that kind of conclusions.

Journalist 2: But you can’t deny this right?

Bruce: In those cases there are always similarities but it’s not good for the investigation to jump on this hypothesis.

Journalist 3: You are telling us not to panic but do you believe what you are asking I mean we have 3 dead bodies until now frankly to say I don’t know how is this possible,

Bruce: Look we are not asking from you not to report it’s just this person is doing this among others for attention and in this way he is getting it. We shouldn’t play his game.

This is all we will talk to you as fast as we can with new information and hopefully with the murder in the jail making him pay for what he did. Have a nice day.

Bruce went right after that in Steven s office to inform him the meeting with journalists went.

 

Steven: Was everything right there?

Bruce: Thanks god it’s over

Steven: That bad it was.

Bruce: Good point it’s that I think they understood that they have to be careful what they write for him and not stimulate him. But something bothered me.

Steven: What is that?

Bruce: One of the journalists said that this killer “Angel killer” how they are calling him that he is a copycat of Jack the Ripper.

Steven: Well you can’t say that he isn’t right.

Bruce: I know this worried me more. I mean there are some patterns. He targets prostitutes, deforms they bodies and its taunting us with letters just like the Ripper did.

Steven: Let’s just hope we catch him faster than they did with Ripper. And I’m not sure if they really caught the real killer.

Bruce: you know I came on this office 1000 times but never noticed so many medical books in your library. You look like a big fan of medicine?

Steven: There are lots of things you don’t know for me my friend. You haven’t seen me cooking.

Bruce: We will know those things on future. It will be interesting to see you cooking.

 Anyway I have to go and eat something because I have to prepare a psychological profile for the killer and talk with officers.

Steven: Yes you are right we don’t have much time to talk for my talents. Just be careful there

The whole nation was waiting and fearing from where is the killer going to hit again. This was putting Bruce in big pressure.

 

After that tensed morning with the news reporters very curious and the meeting with Steven he went on eating launch. He had a psychological profile to do.

The conference room was still with full of people but this time not with reporters but all officers of the department.

Dear colleagues you already know that this person we are chasing has already killed three women so he is a serial killer. We have to act very fast

We are dealing with probably a male based on the description of a witness. He didn’t see his face but it said that it looked a big and powerful body. We have to rely on his words.

 He is between 40-55 years old. Highly educated with knowledge on medicine based on the way he did his tortures. During crime he wears a big black coat; this is part of his fantasy too.

About his psychology it looks that he has sadistic features because he enjoys torturing his victims and make those cuts until they are alive. He is narcistic individual because of the taunts he makes with us sending puzzles. He is in big need for control.

For him this is a game. Since he is so careful and educated he may have a job with good money. Don’t consider only the scenario when he lives alone, he also may have a family but they may not know this part of their beloved.

Finally he claims that he has a divine duty to kill demons in the earth this is based on his illusions and hallucinations so he has schizophrenia disorder

Anyone spots someone suspicious you have to control him. Be careful he can play games with you to and fool you with his words. Remember he is educated and intelligent.

 

Officer 1: But this isn’t giving anything concrete to us.

Bruce: Well psychological profiling is a science I would call it but it’s not 100% exact so we have to work with what we got and then match their alibi with our doubts. This is our only chance.

At least we are entering on his head and know how not to act when we are dealing with him. He clearly wants to play with us so by knowing his twisted mind we can interrupt his plans. Just be careful he can be very dangerous when his fantasy is not realized.

Guys we have to do our impossible to stop this lunatic. We own this to our citizens. They don’t deserve to experience this terror, they deserve to be happy. So we and only we can make that happen. If anybody has a divine duty is us not that psychopath. Let’s do it.

Finally after Bruce words in the room was felt a positive energy a big motivation of those officers to catch the Angel Killer. It was like everybody was saying yes we will.

It was afternoon and that day was quite intense but with nothing concrete. Bruce was staying on the office anxious looking on the profile he made to see if he can find anything else.

Something intriguing is about to happen……

The door knocked. It was Officer Jeffrey Smith a colleague of Bruce. May I come in?

Bruce: Yes sure, I was just watching the file we are preparing sit down please.

Jeffrey: I was in the room earlier today when you did the profiling.

Bruce: Yes I saw you there

Jeffrey: But this is not for what I came to talk. It’s something you should know.

Bruce: What is this secret talk man you are making me curious?

Jeffrey: (before starting to talk he wake up and went to the window looking outside).I was there seeing you talking about the case and that reminded me something. You know two years ago when you went on that investigation of that poisoned boy in Birmingham.

Bruce: Yes what with that?

Jeffrey: As you know you stayed here for 2 months to investigate and lot of things happened during that time. But what I think is important is ee a murder that happened on Leicester.

Bruce: Yes go ahead.

Jeffrey: Well I remember when I and Steven went to investigate. It was the same man.

 

Bruce: Really. What happened, did you catch anyone?

Jeffrey: We took a lot of people on questions and tried but nothing. The case was closed because we couldn’t find anything.

Bruce: Why Steven didn’t tell me for this? Thank you man it was helpful.

Jeffrey: Just catch him. See you

Jeffrey went off the door fast. I have to talk to Steven but before that I should check the archives.

Archive room was on the basement so it took some minutes for him to arrive on it. Searching took five minutes until he reaches the box with the evidences. He takes the box and puts it on one table there.

When he opens the box he sees a report there telling that the body was beaten and have scars of knife. Furthermore in the last part of report he sees that angel head on victim s chest. A bunch of bloody clothes were there too.

 How a hell Steven didn’t tell me for this. Is he crazy or what? Bruce closed the box and went furious in Steven s office.

Bruce: Are you out of your mind how can you hide something like this?

Steven: Calm down what are you talking about?

Bruce: I saw the archives the same case has happened when I was on Birmingham. Don’t you thought you should tell me that little little detail you moron,

Steven: Don’t rush. I forgot man I really did only now I’m remembering it.

Bruce: You can’t forget something like this , are you kidding me.

Steven: It was two years ago god damn it I’m getting 55 now I’m not that young anymore my memory it’s not working right. Only now I’m remembering I swear a god.

Bruce: I can’t believe that. Why didn’t you tell me earlier when I came back from Birmingham you usually tell me everything.

Steven: I wanted to but when you came you remember you were destroyed from what you saw a mother killing her son. So I didn’t want to give you more pain. I know that you take crime fighting like a personal vendetta.

Bruce: And you decided not to inform me. Thank you very much.

Steven: Are you an idiot or what, I am trying to protect you because I know what you experienced. Remember I almost lost my job protecting you before commission. I put my career in risk for you, I try to be with you anywhere, to be like a brother and this is how you
