Chapter One

    The killer watched the detective as he stepped into his office. Years of planning led to this moment. The murderer stood right in front of the investigator’s office, and yet he did not even know who he really was.
    “Killing him right now would be way too easy.” The killer stood in the corner, eyes focused on the sad detective. “It just wasn’t enough for all the misery he’d caused my family.”
    It wasn’t long before the killer’s plan began to take action. A few years of planning could surprise even the most experienced detectives.

    A small lamp illuminated the lone man’s desk. Papers and documents littered his office. Behind all that mess was Cade Oliver, a detective who, despite his cool demeanor, had gone some horrifying things.
    No one knew exactly what happened to him. Most of his associates knew him as the cheerful guy in the squad, that’s how good he was at hiding his demons.
    Dead bodies were nothing new to detectives, especially to Cade, but that kind of stuff could get depressing after a while. None of it now mattered to him. Cade was just riffling through the files as half-hearted as he could be.
    Every day someone would visit him. It was a special person in his life. If anyone could resurrect the now ghost of a man that is Cade, it would be none other than his sister, Freline Oliver.
    Freline decided to stop by Cade’s office to bring him his lunch. She faced her brother and said, “Look at yourself, Cade. What’s gotten into you?”
    Cade barely reacted and kept scanning through his case documents.
    “You've been pushing yourself too much. I'm starting to get worried. Why don't you pull back a bit and ask your boss to have it re-assigned to someone else?” she began, straightening her ponytail as she entered his office.
    Cade’s fellow investigators eyed the two siblings as he sat outside the office. When he lost sight of them, his eyes went back to reading the documents, but his ears remained focused on listening in on their conversation.
    “Stop worrying… it’s not good for you.” He heard bits of their conversation just outside Cade’s office.
    “You forgot your lunch. Here. The city has no use for a starving and half-dead detective.”
    Cade didn’t bother reaching for the brown bag. He just gave her a shrug and tried to smile, but found that he couldn’t.
    Freline walked past the crumpled papers on the floor and said, “I know you’re still depressed about Mom and Dad, but don’t forget that I’m still here.”
    Freline studied his face, her mind working on solving his brother’s condition.
    “What happened to you? Mom and Dad-” She stopped.
    “Freline… I, I,” he stuttered. He held her hand and gave her a meaningful look as if he wanted to tell her what pained him; as if everything would be all right if she knew the truth.
    One of Cade’s fellow investigators knocked on the door, “Sorry for interrupting… Cade, the Chief wants you in his office right now.”
    He looked at his sister and tried to continue what he was saying, but he just couldn’t find the words to tell her what happened.
    “You don’t have to say anything. We’ll talk when you’re ready, okay?” She hugged him for a few seconds before leaving him to attend to his work, but not before giving the other investigator a curious look.
    His sister was the only person who could understand what he was going through. If only he had told her sooner.
    He went out to talk to his superior, wondering about his next case.
    “You called, sir?”

Chapter Two

    “They found a body near the school building,” said Trevor Gale, the Chief of Police.
    Cade wondered a bit why the Chief assigned him to a different case, but he did not bring it up since it doesn’t really matter to him.
    “Did anyone see anything?” Trevor scratched his head.
    “No, sir. The lab said the time-of-death was around midnight so there weren’t that many people in the area.”
    The printer’s sound made it hard
