Suspect!

Evening 5 O'clock

_____________________________________

I was sitting in my apartment, sipping a cup of coffee. Looking out of my apartment. Thinking to myself.

Knock knock. Suddenly the knock pulled me out of my haze, and my legs started to walk towards the door on their own. I unlocked the door opening it, not even bothering to take a look at the visitor from peephole.

I saw Fred standing on the other side. He smiled, "Are you going to invite me inside Ma'am?" I smiled at his words and gestured him in by moving aside. He entered the room, and took a sit on the couch.

"So why are you here Fred?" I was not in mood to talk much, so I jumped to the point.

"I'm here to discuss about the murders, and in what way your investigation, mind and plans are running. I'm very sure till now you've found a way to catch the killer before next murder." My face dropped, and I flopped down in my chair. Looking out of the window at the sunset.

"I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I don't know how to judge his next step. He is sharp, because he is leaving hints, but at the same time keeping us at a safe distance." I stared at the board we created in afternoon.

"No doubt he is confident, but what can be his motive. Oh by the way I talked with Mrs. Johnsen's husband. He said that she moved their alone because of some work purpose. And this is new, because she always travelled with her husband." Fred said while pouring some coffee in a mug.

I scratched my head, "Strange.. Did you found the head of Miss. James? Or of Mrs. Johnsen?" I looked at Fred for answer, but he just shook his head.

My head was spinning again. "Why he need heads? What does he do to that heads? This is really a big sign of a psychopath. Even if I tried to catch him... There are chances of losing my life."

"Loveena!" I heard a shout and next moment I was lying on ground with Fred over me. My mind was trying to figure out what was happening. The window was shattered, all the pieces of broken glass were scattered on the floor. Fred got up and went near the broken window trying to see if anyone was there. I got up and walked towards the board.

There was an arrow stucked right in the middle of the board. A note was wrapped around it's body. I grabbed a pair of hand glows, and pulled out the arrow. Before I could open it Fred was leaving the apartment. "Don't, we can't find him. And we don't know if it was him or he stuff some money in someone's mouth to do this. And plus we have another note." I showed him the arrow and the note wrapped over it.

I started to unwrap the note which was scrolled up. "This arrow is shot with Hatsan Harpoon. It's a deadly weapon." I examined the arrow and started reading the note.

"Aww.. The small girl can't find me, no worries. I'll give you clue. Catch me if you can.

Yours

Head Hider."

My head started to spin again. The gears of thoughts turning in my head.

"He is confident. But he doesn't know we will catch him. Right Loveena?" Fred's words were falling on my ears.

"You are wrong Fred. Don't underestimate him. If he is leaving hints then he have planned something for sure. Let's see what is his next step." I pinned the note to the board, and thought to myself, "Let it not be what I am thinking."
