Chapter 4 - Chapter two: The crime scene

Its been hell for everyone in Peace-Loving town. Another week with another body that was found in City Hall of the capitol in Peace-Loving city. But the police are patrolling through City Hall about now which everyone knows how it goes normally and things like that.

Which in this case no one could do anything on this unexpected murder that happened in City Hall that no one was aware about this murder at all.

************

Even the police has no clue of "who?" did such a horrible killing to the.... mayor?

Now, they DEMAND to know the killer right this instant or threats will go out to thr killer of such a thing.

Which is unlikely that could even happen as such in the town of Peace-Loving.

Other than that, well things went wild in Peace-Loving killings and other things that's been happening for three weeks another body was found but was stuffed up.

How was that possible? No one knew who did that.

*********************

But whoever did those things won't see day light again after their crimes that have been committed like this at all.

Which makes everyone to avoid the "questioning" that happens ALL the time with people that needed to get those questions asked.

Further on, things have been on and off all the damn time and no one knows "why?" about those little things that's been happening on every damn week until then.

Though, people know that things like that often happens all the time in Peace-Loving which says a lot for just a town full of crimes and criminals roaming around the places of each house.

What does the government do about it?

Well, for starters, people from there don't care anymore of ANY person doesn't matter "who?" even if they're a bad or good person they still need to be in prison.

Which is strange for a town to have killers just lurking all around in town for EVERYONE to know about them.

*******************

That was, until they came again. The town froze at seeing this mysterious person that keeps on visiting their town and cities.

The click of each step they took terrified them all to the bone. No one knows who they are or could be not one person knows.

***********************

The whistle everyone knew that death was here the people knew he arrived now. They all knew that whistle anywhere.. but the mysterious person had to calm their nerves down they ddon't want to let him know its his wife.

"My, my, my. If it isn't death himself, welcome to the party, mr. Death I'm sure everyone would love to join the blood bath tonight! Wouldn't you, dearest?" Oh, they were hinting something but death still can't put a picture to their face of who it can be.

"Oh, really? You must be a wonderful young man, then. Am I-" a dagger was thrown in his direction at full speed almost cutting his cloak off.

"You were saying, death?" That dark tone gave shivers to everyone who watched this go down.

**************

"I.... I was just saying that you must be a man but it seems you have skills of a woman, my love. Now, why don't you show us your face, darling?" He was playing with mystery person.

"Hmm, that's debatable, death. I could show my face, but the question is... do I want you to know who's behind the cloak?" They said muttering under their breath in a whisper.

They picked up their dagger and swung it like anyone would swing their pen between their fingers.

***********

Everyone in Peace-Loving feared them. Why do they fear them?

Well, for the first time in all the towns lives, they've feared for most people who are undercover or wearing dark coloured cloaks over their usual clothes.

"Then, what's your occupation? What do you do for a living, hm?" Death asked the mystery person in his usual tone.

They laughed and had a glint in their eyes as they looked at him and spoke again, "my occupation? Well, if you're the grim reaper himself, you'd know that I'm an assassin. Kills for a living. It works well, doesn't it? I think you should ask your sister about your darling, hm?"

That left him angered. What does this person mean? Oh... they meant his wife, his wife who got sick and passed away.

**********

"DON'T MENTION HER IN THIS! SHE'S GONE, I KNOW THAT! I KNOW MY WIFE IS GONE AND THAT THE ONLY ONE I HAVE LEFT IS HER FAMILY MINE AND MY SON!!!!" Death yelled as his voice grew angerier the moment he let his anger crumbled in front of everyone.

The fountains of Peace-Loving shook. They looked at each person and they laughed shaking their head before having the dagger scrape against the cobblestone of the fountains which made an ugly screeching sound.

"She's not gone, you know? I think they just hid her for protection of herself and the baby. You don't know where, right?" They asked him.

*************

"No.. WHERE IS MY WIFE! WHERE IS SHE!" He yelled again.

"James..." oh, that's when everyone stopped for a second and wasn't able to breath either.

"What?!" Death had rage in his eyes before he saw them walking to him and touched his face as their lips brushed over his again and again.

********

He badly wanted to push them away before their hood of their cloak fell to reveal the beauty he once married.

".... Louise? My- oh gosh, I missed you." Tears fell from his eyes.

"Yeah, its me. I'm sorry, I had to go into hiding because of these people." And the police arrived ready to take her away.

Then, out of nowhere, James Martin held his wife around her waist and his cloak covered them before they ran on the rooftops far far away from the police and landed in Dark Valley.

********

They were safe. Away from all the dangers and James still held her in place before she put his hand on thr curve of her belly.

"What-" and a gasp slipped from his lips tears welled up vefore he choked on his own air at this moment.

"Ours, our little future. They're strong, like their mother and stronger as their father. I love you." That made his heart thump again.

He loves his wife. He loves Louise so damn much he doesn't want to let her go. But... he knows that the police will come after her.

He knows that they won't give-up on finding his wife and putting her in prison for the arson she committed and put families at risk.

***************

He wants to protect her as a whole. As his wife, he should! As her husband she wants him too. Now, he's holding her and they're running deeper into Dark Valley until they bumped into someone.

"Watch-" and he looked up to see her.

"Evelyn, is that you?" Louise asked which she had a smile on her face but her hand still on the curve of her belly.

********

"Yes, yes it is. Louise, I missed you both so damn much. Are you planning to live here? I can let Jason and them know. They won't arrest her, James I know them personally the government will protect her and your baby. I contacted them last night to let them know you both will arrive soon." Evelyn explained to them with a smile on her face as she helped Louise up and dusted her off.

"Thank you, Evie. We're so grateful!" Louise said with tears in her eyes.

"Are you sure Peace-Loving won't find her? You know they can still track her." James said matter-of-factly to Evelyn.

**********

"No, no they can't pass the gate. They'll need the passcode. But the government knows peace-loving and will personally execute any of their people to pass the golden front gates back at the entrance of the town. The cities have silver gates almost like of iron and steel." Evelyn explained to them of how the gates worked and what cause of them to be used.

"Oh, then we don't have to worry about anything!" James said in relief as he kissed his wife's cheek before Evelyn led them to their home with their things.

"You both will feel at home and I know it. If you see the governor entering homes. She's just making sure who'll need to be booked in a hospital soon for the baby. So, don't panic. I'll tell her in advance that Louise is expecting." Evelyn said with a smile on her face.

********

Then, she helped them to put their bags, boxes and other things in their house that is exactly five stories big.

After that, Evelyn took her leave and let the couple be together with each other James gave his wife a back rub when they were in bed.

His hands moved up and down on her back as she smiled at him.

This.... this was perfect. This was everything he wanted and needed. His wife moaning as she gets her back rub and their boy kicking softly while his dad would rub her belly softly.

********

James would never trade anything for this. To be with his family and to watch his wife's bump grow with everything intended for.

He just needs to watch a careful eye for those of peace-loving so they won't take his wife away from him again. Not when they got married and she had to go to prison for 2 months.

That was horrible for him to live that way.

*********

The next morning, they were bare in bed the covers covering their bodies as she slept peacefully in his arms he just stared at her lovingly.

Then, came a knock on the bedroom door it was probably the governess here to make sure if Louise needs to be booked for a hospital room soon.

"Uhm, come in." James said as he pulled the covers higher and over their bodies to be covered.

"Morning, how was the trip from peace-loving to here? Hope you travelled safely. I heard from Evelyn that she's expecting, your... your wife, Louise." Governess Sandy said with a smile as she went over to Louise and rubbed her bump to feel the baby.

***********

"Yes, my wife is expecting our child. We're having a baby boy. So, its just a booking to the hospital for checkups and for the birth, right?" James asked as he felt his wife move closer to him for warmth.

"Yes, that's correct. Only for checkups and for the birth of your child. But, if there were any other reason why she'd feel any different call Evelyn immediately. She'll know what to do." Sandy told James with a smile on her face.

************

Though, people from peace-loving have been on the case trying to search for Louise who just went missing out of the blue and randomly for some reason.

People don't know what's happening all around and all the damn time.

What for? No one knows at all of what's been on with the cases and murders happening in peace-loving city.

***********

But, further on the case, the police have been trying to solve it of the murder case on "Ashlyn Anderson" the body wasn't found.

Which is quite weird to not find the body of this young student at Peace-Loving college.

*************

People never knew "who?" Ashlyn Anderson was. Some said, she was a creep! Others told the police that she was a frail girl who didn't have enough to eat for herself.

But the truth is... no one wants to know what kind of woman Ashlyn Anderson was in her past and how she grew up in her childhood life.

Why do you ask for that matter?

*************

Some people said, that Ashlyn was never a top A+ student in her educational lifestyle. Others said, she always failed a year or three.

No one knew who or what she was capable of doing for herself or for a living.

Others had an idea of what she wabted to do... which was be a killer.. she wanted to be a cannibal and eat the lives of people all to safe her girlfriend.

***************

Why did she decide on that wrong pathway?

Well, Ashlyn Anderson was going to ask her girlfriend of 7 years to marry her before she disappeared but when the police found a carkus she ran and hid herself.

She should've taken her girlfriend with to run away and elope somewhere far from the police and all the towns who are accusing her mother of birthing such a child.

*****************

Further things were all okay to be on track of this murder case. People are getting asked. But.. no questions are answered.

How are they getting questioned when they're supposed to question Ashlyn's family?

***********

Good question. Now, that's a different case to talk about with a different type of topic normally people would plainly refuse on the kind of topic being spoken about towards them.

Further the case, the police still found nothing else on about Ashlyn and her family its almost like no one wants to share with the police of what can be the cause of this murder.

But, that's for another time, as for now, things are a bit of a up/down case and makes people in the towns to worry of the crime rates.

Even if, they think their police force can solve EVERYTHING related to crime cases which won't be happening at all and can't happen.

***********************

The police had a meeting with the chief and decided they'll investigate each and every house just to kick the families out and have them live on the streets for a year or two.

Why are they willing to do that for their town?

They want the killer to show themselves in their neighborhood, which is a bit stupid of them to get that done in how many minutes exactly.

No one wants to know about that either. Which is a scary thing to have the police kick you and your family out of your own home.

What will even happen after that?

No one will even know what could happen to those families out on the streets now, they might decide to kill eachother or they'll find a way to kill the police department and get them all evicted from their places and fired.
