Call Of Death : The Secrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9 : The Ninth Victim

Detective Lee, Chief Simon and Officer Chad arrived at the headquarters at the same time. Their superior gestured the two men to follow her. Despite being confused, they just followed behind her into her office.

"Sit down, boys." She said.

They sat down. "Why did you call us both here, Chief?" Detective Lee asked.

Chief Simon sat on her swivel chair, leaned and sighed before facing the two men. "I got some report about this case. This isn't a simple murder case, boys. It's far way more than we thought." She said.

"What do you mean?" Detective Lee asked in confusion.

Chief Simon went silent for a while and then she leaned on her chair, the word stressed is all over her face. "The culprit is more vicious that we think he is. We need to investigate further and solve this case. He had killed a lot of people before these two. We need to do everything to catched him." She added.

"Uhm...wait, we?" Officer Chad asked, confused.

"Yes, you heard it. I want you to team up with Detective Cameron Caiseus Lee to investigate this case, Officer Devius Wayne Chad." Chief Simon seriously explained and both men looked at each other.

"Wait, what!?" They asked in unison.

Detective Lee stood up. "What do you mean, Chief? I can't team up with him, we don't work at the same unit. Also, I am used at handling my case alone. I don't need a partner." He opposed.

"He's right, Chief. I don't need a partner either." The officer agreed.

Chief Simon took a deep breath and told Officer Chad, "I already talked to your superior. He recommended you to be Cameron's partner because of your capability and ability. He told me if you're not the best in your field, you surely is the best in your unit. Trust me, there's nothing to worry about." She assured him.

Officer Devius Chad smiled. "I'm honored to be of such recommendation. Then, I'll do my best to help, Chief."

"I'm glad to hear that." She said then turned to her junior. "Cameron?"

"But, Chief, I don't feel comfortable working with others, you know that." Detective Lee disagreed.

Chief Simon sighed and faced his junior. "Cameron, I know that you are used to working alone. I also know that you are capable of protecting yourself but our enemy this time is like a wind. We don't know when he will strike again but he could be everywhere. We don't have a single idea of his identity but he might know everyone of us. I need you to work with Devius because I know that you'll be more safe if you're with someone. Also, two is better than one, you know it." Sara Simon explained in a long litany, leaving Cameron speechless.

Even if Detective Lee seemed to disagree but he has nothing to say anymore because he knows that if Chief Simon decided already, it can't be changed. He just sat there and listened to what his superior is saying. Also, he knows that Sara Simon is right - two is better than one.

The truth is, he could handle himself but he isn't sure if he could catched the culprit single handedly. He may be the greatest in his profession but Sara is right, their enemy is like the wind. He could or is everywhere but they couldn't locate him. He might be felt but he is hard to be seen. If the culprit is really wandering around, he must also be watching their every move.

"But, Chief, what is the thing you're saying earlier about the murder?" Officer Chad asked.

"Oh, yeah. The murder at the party, it wasn't the first one and the girl at the forest is the ninth victim of this series of murder." She explained but they seem not to understand it.
