Chapter 3

Very soon my father's profit making company was being handled by my uncle Jeremy he was so sad handling it and he wished that they will come back to life this is not his dream the death of my parents seem to have affected him so much he had no sister and brother he had no niece or nephew. He was a loner and he lived his life calmly he was always on the news and whenever I saw him I felt so happy when we were all watching TV they would ask him about his family his wife and every other person related to him but he will say they all died like you all know they were killed by the serial killer.

The pain of losing one's family members still lived in his mind and in mine too I couldn't just forget how my aunt and her family died in the hands of the serial killer. my father's magazine company was no longer the top it is now the third leading company in California because uncle Jeremy you didn't really know how to manage the company the way my dad did but he tried his best and that was why every year the company remained at the third or second position in California but it could not go back to being the first.

In the ghetto we went for different escapades and adventures we didn't kidnap we didn't kill but all we did was to steal so one day I was so unlucky I went to steal and I was caught . I started stealing few months after I entered the gang in the ghetto the began to teach me how to steal how to take money from people's pocket without them even noticing I started from little money then I entered into stealing wallet and before you eat I had graduated into stealing phones to me it was a success it is a way to generate money and stay alive since I had no business at hand and maybe from the little money I steal I'm from the phones I steal and sell I'll be able to generate money to start up a little business.

I became an expert in stealing . it became a daily routine for me to steal until one day I was walking on the road and I saw a man with his phone and then I grabbed it and began to run but unfortunately he informed the people at the other side of the road by shouting and then they caught me that day I was doomed they began to beat me even before the thought of taking me to the police station as they were beating me a young man on a police uniform came out and said what is happening here everyone stopped and dropped their weapons and left me the man took me to his house and then give me some water to drink and also gave me food he allowed me to rest for a while before he began to ask me questions about my life.

He asked me how and why I was stealing I sat down looking at him and said nothing he told me that I shouldn't be afraid and that I should say whatever that is in my mind and then at that point something in me told me to open up. I told him everything that have happened and how the serial killer killed my parent my aunt my best friend and my cousin .My story sounded so pathetic so he felt sorry for me and he understood why I was stealing so he began to take me as his own son I told him everything apart from the fact that I was a girl instead I told him that I was Sarah brother. I told him that I had vowed to find out the serial killers but I didn't know how to go about it he then told me that he would send me to army school where I'll be trained and I will become a certified army and then I told him no that I wanted to become a detective and I wanted to investigate the issue myself then he told me that he would have to send me to the the detective center where I'll be trained on how to become a detective when I heard all these I also pleased and I thanked him alot .

I have no trust in humans so I didn't believe what police man had said. I found out that his name was Mr Benson he asked me not to call him Mr Benson but to call him father and that he was here to assume the role of My father . Days later he brought the form and we both filled it together and I was enrolled into the detective school some weeks after. I was doing so well in the school and a lot of my teachers noticed my brilliance , zeal and determination to be the best in my class .

It was 8 years studying an investigating crimes in the city and finally I was 24 years old Mr Benson was now an inspector general and he was transferred to California they also asked him to bring one of his best detectives he had known and that was me John Knoxville. I was the best in the city of los Angeles and everyone knew that once a case is brought my table it was solved not just by me but also with the intelligence departments it was a well-known fact in the city.

And that was how I stopped being a thief but it couldn't stop the fact that I was addicted to marijuana, the pain of addiction was in me so I was taken to a rehabilitation center but I didn't want to go there so I stopped going I was no longer addicted to marijuana but whenever I was pained I will take it to relieve myself from pain and stress. Mr Benson was given a house in California recently because he had been transferred to the city and I was living with him too I was so happy because I knew that was the beginning of my investigation.

The whole city welcomed him calmly and happily. Everyone had heard about Inspector Benson Raul and his detective Detective John Knoxville they heard how intelligent I was and they believed that I was going to solve a lot of cases in their city. To me it was a thing of joy to return to my hometown California.I kept my eye down in search of where my aunt Miriam had lived .I could remember the mansion and I could remember the street name so well .Cases were brought to my table about murder and other cases that were brought to my department. Very soon the government found out how intelligent I was so they decided to promote me and I became the head of the investigation department. It was a thing of joy to me and that finally I'll be able to investigate the case of the serial murder . The only problem I had was raising the topic up to Mr Benson so that it will get approved by the government. I thought about this for some while and I figured out that I had to be bold and confident to tell him this.

One evening my father Mr Benson came back home I quickly prepared dinner and we ate after eating he asked me if there was any thing I wanted him to do for me as usual he asked if there was any thing I wanted from him so that he will know how to go about it and then I told him father I need a favor from you father you know that the reason why I became a detective was to solve the case of the serial murder. please father I need the case to be reopened I know it is and it looks too late to open such a case and I know it will create a lot of tension in the city but please father please I beg you I'm begging you as a daughter let us reopen the case let us find out who the serial killer is please.

My father looked at me and said is that all you want I look at him and said yes sir that is all I want he looked at me and said consider it done .I am going to reopen the case I will inform the government first so that they will be aware of the reopening of the serial murder case.
