MARCUS MARKETS POV
I saw her walking away and I felt my heart becoming heavy as if it would not breath again.
"Please don't go."I thought it was only in my thoughts but I had said it loud.
"What did you say,'She asked turning to look at me.
"I mean you have to stay within because the world out there is not safe." I told her as soon as she walked closer to listen to me.
"There is nowhere safe in this world." She said. "Bye Mr.Marcus, you have to find the serial killer before he kills everyone in this town."
"I don't want to set you free so that you can get killed and my job is to protect the citizens of Eastlands."He said in a serious tone.
"Agatha Miller needs you more than ever and as you said, the citizen needs you."She said this and I bit my lip very hard in anger.
"Marcus, Mr.Chamberland wants to see you in his office,"Diane come and told me.
What had I done this time?
"Just think about it,"I said and she nodded walking away.
I couldn't control my temper and the next thing was to fire a bullet in the air making her stand still and terrified.
"It is an order Norah Stewart!Don't dare leave here"I shouted.
I grabbed the handcuffs in my picked and hundcuffed her forcing here to sit in a chair and wait for me as I thought of my last chance with Mr.Chamberland and how I had fired a gun yet it was not part of my ethics.
"I could fire you immediately but I will not because we have a serial killer in the loose. Find out who killed Mrs.Miller and Mr.Miller not forgetting Miss.Bianca. The public are on our throat, they want answers."He said sipping his coffee.
"Okay sir."I said.
"Get in,"I dragged Norah to my car and sat her on the back seat.
I drove off fast enough to Victoria Secret to buy her a few cloths and shoes and anything she liked. I hated the jail smell in her and I wanted to see her the way I saw her when I questioned her first. I knew she was mad at me because she never said a word but I knew that I was helping her.
I parked out of Victoria's Secrets and opened her handcuffs and she continued looking at me without saying a word and thus got to me.
"Am sorry that I never want you to get killed."I told her.
She gave me a blank stare as I told her to walk out of the car.
She will definitely come around.
"Buy anypiece of clothing you will require. I will pay for them."I told her.
She gave me a nod and that gave me hope of seeing her happy because I have never had her laugh.
"Let's go,"I told her.
"Let me do this on my own please?"She said and I couldn't turn down.
"Okay,be quick." I told her and remained in the car after giving her my credit card.
Just when I thought of Agatha Miller I saw Lyoid at a nearby cafe with her. I got out of the car and hid as I moved closer to where they were.
Lyoid had hold her tiny hands and I could tell that he was comforting her for her great loss.
But why Lyoid? Could that not be me?
I cared for her for Christ sake. This was becoming s habit of Lyoid .Each time I started caring for something, he took over from there.
Just think of it, he took over the case I was handling.
"What are you staring at,"Someone asked me and I pulled out my gun out of fear.
"Do you want to kill me?"Norah asked and j regretted my actions.
"Go ahead and do it,"She said a bit calm like she knew what she was asking for.
I returned my gun to my pocket and walked to where she was.
"Don't talk about it. What are you looking at?"She asked.
"Well Agatha,Agatha Miller,"I said and she started walking to the car after picking the shopping bags she had dropped when I wanted to kill her.
I wanted to follow her but Lyoid had already seen me as they were leaving with Agatha for God knows where.
"Sorry Agatha,"I told her.
"Just f*****g stop talking to me,"She shouted unexpectedly.
"You promised Mr.Marcus," He moved a step forward and slapped me hard out of anger.
"For the record I killed none of your parents,"I did not notice Norah Stewart had joined us till then.
Agatha acted in impulse and pulled Norah's pony tail hard enough that she started screaming and struggling out of her grip.
This angered me and I used my energy to pull Agatha off Norah making her to sprawl on her feet at Lyoid.
"She is a f*****g orphan."Lyoid cried.
"Am sorry,"I realised the consequence of what I had done and a chill of guilt filled every part of my nerves.
"Lyoid take me to my mother,"Agatha shouted crying.
"You will pay for this,"Norah Stewart said and walked to the car.
"I will kill you before then."Agatha Miller swore and Lyoid had to walk her out of the scene giving me a hateful look.
"Must you say people will pay for what they had done? Do you know that this incriminated you last time."I scolded her.
"I will kill that woman"She said panting.
"You are just exhausted."I said and focused on the road driving towards my apartment.
The person who killed Mr.Miller was someone close to the family and who knew them very well. It could be anyone? Mr.Miller commiting suicide, Mrs.Miller, Agatha Miller , Bianca Simpson and Norah Stewart.
Norah Stewart could definitely not kill his father.
Mrs.Miller had so far one reason to his husband. That is his cheating scandal that occured 10 months ago and maybe they had their marriage problems, who really knows the whole truth.
Mr.Miller could kill himself for cheating on his wife. But ten months later, no it was not possible. How could he use that bacteria on his own body yet it was the worst death according to 1000 ways to die.
Miss Bianca had reasons to kill Mr.Miller, first of all he cheated on him. And if that is not enough, he was found at the crime scene helping Norah Stewart.
The fact that his hand and fingerprints was cut and taken meant that she was not responsible for any of the evidence and finger prints we had taken at the crime scene.
Her autopsy results confirmed that she was three months pregnant and it was really sad to lose two lives just by shooting in the brain of the mother.
I had never talked really to Agatha Miller about her relationship with her father but I should if I want to catch this serial killer. But I don't think she could do that to her dad.
Norah Stewart...
"Is it still far?"Norah asked me disrupting me from figuring out the serial killer.
"No, ten minutes to,"I answered her looking at her image using the driver's mirror.
"Okay,"She said hesitating a little.
"Hey,talk to me,"I said when I realised she wanted to say more.
"Honestly, am scared."She said.
"I mean, I was to be adopted by the Millers but all of her parents are dead."She said her voice depicting bits of emotion.
"I swear if I find that serial killer,"I said banging my hand on the window that I had fully opened.
She freaked out and I almost snapped and that could cost us our lives.
"Do you want to kill us just like you would kill the serial killer?"She asked me as soon as the car was back to the road.
"No, for him it will be much worse."I said.
"Okay, so what will you do,"she asked.
I liked that we were just talking at least she was interested to know the real murderers of her second parents. She cared and I loved that trait in her.
"I will sink him in a bathtub full of concentrated sulphuric acid,"I cursed.
"Stop!"She shouted at me.
"What, I mean he really deserves it." I told her.
"What makes you think he is a he?"She asked staring through the window.
"I don't think a woman can kill someone with a bacteria, kill a pregnant woman by shooting her in the head and kill a widow by making her to inhale mustard gas. They make my career real difficult. How am I even supposed to solve this mystery?" I asked her.
"Open your eyes," I told him.
"My eyes are f*****g open."I told her pulling into the apartments I live in.
"If so then you should have clearly seen that Agatha Miller is the serial killer." She said getting out of the car and we'll come to think of it...
