Media Trouble

Midnight 12:35

_____________________________________

I was panicking, I knew Oliver was not what this evidence were showing.

"Come with us Loveena, everyone are sitting inside house. You need some rest." Alex said with a worry in his voice.

I looked at Fred, "You know - "

Fred stopped me before I could finish my sentence, "Take some rest it have been too much for you. We will discuss this for sure." He placed a hand on my shoulder, his hold on me was gentle making me get lost in that sensation, I nodded at Fred's advise and started walking towards Olivers house.

I stopped in midway turning to Fred, "What about media? What are you going to do now?"

Fred came closer and planted a kiss on my forehead leaving me speechless, "Don't worry, we told them that it's a robbery. They were stubborn on the phone call they received but we handled it, for now the media has given us rest. You don't worry, take rest." He smiled trying to assure me, I walked inside Oliver's house.

As I entered the house, I saw everyone settled on couch and chair. I took place on corner chair. Sighing and taking a look at the hall.

"What are we going to do now?" Ethan rised the question. I hold my head in my hands, shaking my head.

"Can't you wait for few more minutes Ethan!?" Grace said in a little angry but hushed voice.

"It's ok Grace, he is right what are we going to do now? We all know Oliver is not what this evidence are showing him."

"We all know that he is not involved in this, but court don't accept this words confession. They need proofs, and all the evidence are against him. Plus, as per police information he is on run too. There is nothing we can do about, we only have one thing in our hands. we have to catch the killer sooner." Lily had a point. The gears started turning in my mind.

"But he is too sharp. He is leaving hints like in movies, and he is watching us follow the bread crumbs he is leaving." Alex said while throwing the sheets of reports on the table.

An idea striked in my mind, "Alex, do you have the postmortem report of Miss. James and Mrs. Johnsen?"

Alex nodded and went out of the house to bring his bag. " Grace think you can read the reports and predict the mindset of the killer.? " Grace nodded at my question. "Ethan help grace with the reports." Ethan nodded.

"Nora and Lily, come with me we will do a search of home and let's see if we find anything odd." Alex entered the house with the reports and three of them sit reading the records. Me, Nora and Lily went up stairs.

"Ok, First thing. If he is on run then there at least 30% of chances that he left his phone home. He do knows we will trace his location, so let's search for the phone first." We put on the gloves and started our search. We were in his bed, It was neat and tidy as usual, somewhere I was feeling that he would have not done that silly mistake of leaving the phone behind for sure

"Loveena, Lily. I got the phone!" Nora called us out, causing our face to lit up.

"Great! See if you can collect any fingerprints." Nora nodded and went down stairs. Me and Lilly continued to search the room. While I was checking his wardrobe something fall down. I bent down to pick it up. It was a small mobile, I examined it and suddenly a tune started to come out of it. My eyelids started to feel heavy and I was on edge of darkness.

Splash!

Suddenly I felt water hitting my face, and I broke out of haze. Waking up, looking around to find Lily.

"You ok?" Lily placed a hand over my shoulder while shaking me.

I nodded, "Yes. Thank you Lily. This is a hypnotic tune. It was pushing me into different world same like a haze.

"I figured it out when you were standing steady and eyes wide open. Your mind was being consumed in darkness, so only you felt sleepy." Lily talked while handing me a water bottle. She took that phone from me.

"I'll give this to Nora. Let's see if she finds out anything about this." I nodded and Lily left the room. The gears started turning in my head. I found nothing else in his bedroom, deciding to go down stairs I turned and left the bedroom.

In hall Nora was trying to collect fingerprints from both phones, Lily was helping her. I walked to Alex, Ethan and Grace, watching them reading the reports. "Found anything yet?" I said with a tired voice.

"Yes, we did, to be honest too much." Grace said with a glimpse of happiness in her voice.

"He is a psychopath, we all know that. He is a person who suffered a trauma and it's not caused by his family, it is cause by some people from forensic department of LA. If you look at both victim's profession, they both are same. So it's sure the next person is going to be from LA Forensic department. And one more thing, he do have some very aggressive revenge wish, there are at leat 70% of chances that he'll not kill any other person, besides who are in his list." I was seeing a light in this situation.

getting up from my place, I paced around the room. "Lily let's go and search again, let's see if we find anything more. Nora think you can call some of your friends and take fingerprints from every room?" Nora nodded.

I was totally confused, even if we knew he had a list and a target every time, but it's hard to figure who was his next target now. Everything was suspicious, everyone were suspect.
