第2話

Upon arriving at my house I'm greeted by the cool night air, I fish around in my pockets for my keys and lighter and open my pack of cigarettes.


" Two murders in a month this is the fastest he has killed. I don't get it from what we know he extremely careful leave nothing behind we can use. Why the short interval between kills."


My thoughts are interrupted by a faint scuffling sound inside the house. I turn to the door and put my ear against it. I hear muffled talking. I put the key in the door with one hand on my gun I push the door open.


" Who's in here? I'm a officer with a gun you picked the wrong house if your trying to steal from me!"


The only thing that responds is the pitch black darkness. I click on the light switch and slowly enter the apartment. I quietly sweep each room looking for any signs someone been there but nothing.


" I must really need some sleep. I'm really starting to hear and see thing."


I decide to take a shower before bed to wash the hard day off and maybe find some clarity. While showering I noticed something strange a shadow behind the curtain.


"That's odd...."


I pull back the curtain to my shock as the who bathroom was smeared in blood and writing on the door saying " remember" I stumble back grabbing the shower curtain I fall pulling it all down, I struggle to get it off but when I do everything back to normal.I turn off the shower and hurry to get dry and dressed then head straight to bed.

As I lay there I drift off to sleep.


" A familiar dream .... I'm in my room I guess I'm around four no maybe five."


I get up out of bed I remember the cold wooden floor. I was woken up by a sound coming from my sister room as I open her door i see a man has his arm around her neck trying to climb out the window I can't see the man's face or I don't want to I don't know why but panic is all I feel I scream for my dad."


Awaken by my alarm the dream fades back into obscurity, cold sweat soaks my body. I look at my phone six miss call and it's not even 6am.


I scroll through the miss calls, five are from the captain and one from my mother.

My finger hovers above my mom's name but I decide maybe it's best the hold off and call the captain back.


" Detective I was wondering when you were gonna call me back I figured you went off and died on me or something."


" I just woke up, I haven't been sleeping well at all."


" Nothing out of the normal there sometimes more than work that can follow you home sometimes. Enough of that though I need you down at the station I have someone I want you to meet I think she gonna be a lot of help."


* Sigh* " I'm on my way Capt see you in a few."


I arrive at the station and enter my office standing there I see the broad back of my captain. A war veteran turn police officer his hard work and dedication has the respect of everyone even if his face reminds me of a old goat. Next to him was a petite young woman in a grey business suite sharp grey eyes and medium cut brown hair.


" Ah ... Detective Yun you made it. Let me introduce you this detective Slater she has been training by the B.A.U ( Behavioral Analysis Unit) and she gonna be your new partner.


Detective Slater turns to me with a smile like that of a shark.


"It's nice to meet you detective Yun I'm sure we are going to be spending a lot of time together."
