It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “dad,” my daughter hollered up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds nervous.” As I came down the stairs to pick up the phone, I was not happy. I was tired and had looked forward to a nice quiet evening at home, not another stupid murder scene with Jackie. Thirty minutes later, however, Jackie’s blue Dodge Charger swung into my driveway, and jackie was leaning on the horn before the car came to a full stop. Grabbing my coat from the couch, I walked out my front door with all the enthusiasm of a man going to stand before a firing squad. As I swung the car door open and sat down Jackie stuck out her arm and asked, “would you like some coffee?” “Yes I would, that would …show more content…

As Jackie headed to the lounge to get some food I made my way over to the filing cabinet to look through some of the more recent murders to see if I was right about this one potentially being a similar case. When I looked further in the cabinet I opened up the file of a murderer named Andrew Johnson. Andrew was about 6 foot tall with brown hair and brown eyes and he had been the best killer we had come to know.He was known for the 3 murders that had happened about 6 months ago about 2 days apart. The people he had killed had all been similar, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes and were all around the age of 30, but most importantly they were all killed the same way.

When I got done reading his file I motioned Jackie over to
