The next day Detective Maze knocked at my door like an AK 47 throwing bullets on the enemy. I opened the door and there was the Detective herself, panicked and sweating.
Chris: "What happened detective, did the car stopped again"
Detective: "No! It's worse than the car, our next suspect, the Chef was shot in his house".
Chris: "No way, but do you understand that the demon is killing our suspects so we cannot get him, that is his plan".
Detective: "How could you say this without any proof?"
Chris: "What if I tell you that I am the Demon".
Detective: "what did you just say"? She took her hand back and to her gun.
Chris: "I'm just joking detective, what I wanted to say was that I have worked with that guy and I know that he can kill his own people to save himself". I had a little grin on my face as the detective slowly was understanding my cheapest joke. We went to the crime scene and checked around for some clues of whoever killed the chef. We checked the whole house and the only thing we found was another dead body lying in the closet of the chef.
Detective: "Do you recognize him?"
Chris: "No I have never seen him anywhere".
Detective: "Looks like the Chef was cooking something else too". The detective went towards another officer.
Detective: "I want all the details about the dead person". The detective came back as I was standing and watching the dead body.
Detective: "Are you okay, Partner".
Chris: "Yeah Detective am okay". I saw the originality of her care in her eyes and felt something as an honest person to her. It seemed like I was more real in front of her. She looked at me and smiled as she patted on my arm.
Detective: "you will be okay partner". After some time when we were done checking the crime scene Detective came up to me".
Detective: "Hey, I'm sorry to disturb you but I need a favor".
Chris: "Well is it the first time when a detective wants a favor from a criminal".
Detective: "Well I don't know that but what I know is that I want you to come with me to move my stuff from my house".
Chris: Well congrats Detective, if you are moving to a new house.
Detective: "Yeah, kind off".
Chris: "why are you moving out"?
Detective: "Well I am going to my mom's house because she is a little not healthy". While we were in the car Detective Maze's phone rang.
Detective: "Detective Maze, what's the information". After hearing the phone call, Detective Maze stopped the car again.
Chris: "No! Are we going to walk again?
Detective: "You lied to me Chris".
Chris: "What do you mean"?
Detective: "You know exactly what I am talking about, you knew that dead guy in chef's house, and he was one of the 2 survivors of the Ship". I looked at the Detective with the most surprising look ever.
Chris: "were there 2 survivors".
Detective: "You are disgusting, you know that".
Chris: "Detective, I really did not know him".
Detective: "I hate people who lie to me more that people who kill 305 innocents".
Chris: "You don't know if they were all innocent".
Detective: "Get out of my car". I did exactly as she said as I saw the old Detective Maze that day. The detective drove off in front of me as I knew would not but she was actually angry on me.
Chris: "Detective! I shouted behind her car but she was not willing to hear me out.
