"Look at this letter! Does it ring any bells?"
John
mmh seems familar but where have i seen it before..it has the address where i grew up?
“That's right! Your old neighborhood. What do you remember about that place?”
John
well it’s where my parents were murdered in front of me…
"Your parents... murdered? Are you sure about that?"
John
yes sir says with no emotions
"I need you to think back, John. Tell me everything you remember about that day."
John
well they were shot and the killer set the house ablaze
"What did the killer look like? Any details you can remember?"
John
a masked man with a tear drop on his mask
"Do you remember anything else about the masked man? Any distinguishing features or behaviors?"
John
he just kept saying two words..”Your next!”
"Alright, John. I want you to close your eyes and take a deep breath. It's time to confront your past."
John
ok sir closes eyes
places a hand on John's shoulder "You've come a long way, John. I know this is difficult, but I'm here for you every step of the way.
John
thx sir..opens eyes so what is our next move sir?
"Our next move is to gather more evidence and retrace the steps of the masked man. I have some leads and witnesses we can interview.
John
lets get this bastard
sits at his desk, opens a file "Let's start by reviewing the case files and identifying any potential gaps in our investigation.
John
yea..leans over looking at the case files
pauses, deep in thought "John, I think it's time we bring in a specialist to help us crack this case. Someone who has experience in profile analysis.
John
will 2 profilers be enough?
leans back in his chair, pondering "Two profilers might not be enough. We need someone who can dig deeper, someone with a keen eye for details.
John
maybe even another detective?
nods thoughtfully "You're right, John. Another detective with a fresh perspective could be beneficial. I'll reach out to a few colleagues and see if they're available to assist us." As Detective Adam starts contacting other detectives, he receives a message from an unknown number. It's a cryptic warning that reads, "Beware, Detective. The truth is more shocking than you think."
John
shall i go check on your contacts sir?
furrows his brow, gripping the phone tightly "No, John. I'll handle this. I need to make sure we're not walking into a trap."
John
looks worried
paces around the room, deep in thought "John, I need you to stay alert and keep your guard up.
John
shall i go snoop around outside then sir?
puts a hand on John's shoulder "No, John. I don't want you putting yourself in danger. Stay here and keep an eye on things.
John
alright sir..waits patiently
suddenly, Adam's face contorts with rage as a realization dawns on him "John... I... I think I found something."
John
what?
slams his fist on the table "This case... it's not what we thought it was! We've been blind to the truth all along!"
John
looks shocked then what is it
leans in close, his voice filled with determination "John, listen carefully. The truth is far more sinister than we ever imagined.
John
oh
pulls out a hidden folder from under the table "Take a look at this, John.
John
what is this?
hands shaking, opens the folder and reveals a collection of shocking photographs "These... these are the pictures of our victims, John. But look closer.
