chapter 3.1

The police were keeping this murder as discreet as possible as they didn't want to cause any kind of distress among the citizens. Sergeant Noah Richards and sheriff Nester Howards drove to AHN hospital to see this patient who was a victim of an attack. Sergeant Noah Richards walks into the room and takes a seat beside her "so..Ms ..what's your name?" He asks with a gentle tone not to scare her or trigger her in any way as he had no idea how far the attack went. "I'm.. Leona Fernandez" Leaona says shivering from her trauma after all she remembered before fainting was a man trying to kidnap her and her husband .

"So Mrs Leaona could you provide me with a description of your perpetrator?" Maintaining the kind voice Noah tries to help her come out and talk to him about her perpetrator . "He was...tall... about 6'2...or 6'3...he was muscular...he had dark jet black hair covering his eyes his lips where full he did say he was 18..that's all I can provide you...with.." Leaona says whilst mustering up all her courage."Mrs Leona were you the only one attacked? And do you remember any kind of details like birth marks? tattoos?"

Leaona pondered around her mind to see if she could remember anything she breaks the silence which was like a brick hitting a wall continuously, louder than the words the silence was.

"Yeah...my husband Jude Fernandez" she feels the tears forming under her eyes"please save him..."she cries out begging Noah Richards to save her husband"Noah Richards sympathetically looks at her and says.."I don't know where your husband is...but I promise you that we will do our utmost best to catch your perpetrator " Leaona wasn't convinced.. how can she be? convinced knowing the history of cases such as hers going cold.

"Can you tell me in detail about the events if you are comfortable with but note that any information you give to us will be used to catch your perpetrator and to keep you safe" says Noah with a hint of calmness in his deep monotonic voice. Leaona not even hesitating says everything she remembered in order.

"Please save my husband" she says whilst holding Noahs hands who seems to be a bit stunned and flattered by this but he quickly snaps back."uhmm...we will do our best ma'am" says Noah.they leave her alone and now that he had talked to her himself he knew quite a bit .."this won't be that hard will it?" He reassures himself now he has the expectations of a few people on him their trust in his hands how can he break it?"her statement was recorded and a case was filed against this perpetrator and an official investigation was to start he now had two cases on his sleeve to solve and provide justice to.

"Today was quite rough mom...he says whilst removing his sock and shoes there is this young girl her and her husband got attacked and her husband is nowhere to be seen and I'm handling the case..and I'd rather not tell you about the other one.."says Noah whilst talking to his mom who seems to be cooking dinner for him. His mom listens attentively "I see... honey your mom believes in you and I know that you will serve justice to the girl and whomever else you mentioned". She continues making the dinner the aroma of steak elegantly sizzling on the pan with rich butter and thyme hits Noahs nostrils.

"I LOVE YOU MOM" he screams content with his dinner that was going to be served to him. He runs into the kitchen with one sock on his right foot." Ahhaha...love you too my son you always catch on this I can never cook steak without my precious baby knowing.." his mom says as he pulls her into a warm embrace.

"Yeas...mom how can I grow up...when I have a mom who..loves me like this..I can never be too old for you even if I'm 70 I'd still hug you with my wrinkly skin ahahaha" let's out a Chuckle while keeping his mom in his arms wrapped in his loving affectionate embrace.

After a delightful dinner he goes to his room freshen ups and sits down on his office table with the forensic reports of the mutilated body. Some of the victims teeth were intact from which they discovered the person's identity and fingerprints as well.

He puts his glasses on as it seems there will be a storm heading that way the breeze getting furious each minute blowing the discouraged leaves off of the lustrous green trees.*he closes the window as he sits with a table lamp lighting the surface area of the report.he reads the report..the cause of death ...the estimated time of death ...the wepons likely used ..and most importantly...the identification..."Jude Fernandez" hit him like a brick slapping him across the face ...his eyes widen.."isn't this..."
