MISSING MURDER

I Detective Campbell Johnson am investigating a young man who has gone missing he is in his early twenty’s and was late seen in his home on Piru Street, Compton America, 11am 22nd of November 2002. I am searching in this young mans home aka Monty.I find some fingerprints and take them back to the police station. Finally one of my colleague’ finds a match, it match’s tom Rex’s fingerprints aka T.Blud. I go to his mansion with a police dog handler and a police dog. We get to T.Bluds mansion as soon as I go to knock on T.Bluds mansion I turn around and see the dog handler shaking. “What is wrong?” I said” I don’t think this is a good idea. “Said the dog handler. I turn around “Don’t worry I got your back. “he stops shaking. “What a rave man you are” Said the dog handler. I turn back around “We got a crime to solve.” We knock on T.Bluds mansion door no one is home I get really angry and break the door down. I look side to side “CLEAR!” I yell out to the dog handler. We move up the hall way slowly kicking the bedroom doors “CLEAR!” I said. Suddenly I hear a voice “Detective Campbell Johnson!” yells out the dog handler. I rush towards the kitchen where the dog handler is yelling in shock, I get to the kitchen. I can’t believe my eyes. I see a knife covered in blood dripping on the floor. The police dog sniffs the knife and using his sense of smell he follows the sent. We follow the hungry dog desperate to find what he is looking for. Suddenly we hear a loud BANG it’s a gun shot “Get down” I yell out. I see T.Bluds getting in the black ute and driving off leaving us in dust. “DAHM” I yell out in an angry voice. We go to where we heard gun shots. I run gasping for air, I get there it is to late a body is lying there covered in blood. I rush over it was the young man aka Monty Matching the description I got earlier. I check his pulse, after twenty seconds of looking for Monty pulse I couldn’t fine it. It was too late, Monty had passed away. I call the ambulance; I look at the dog handler who was gasping for air. Ten minute later the ambulance arrives, they cover up the body. Young Monty was an innocent citizen who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I get back to the station covered in blood and sweat. I thank the dog handler and give the hungry dog a treat. ”Detective Campbell Johnson anytime you need a dog handler then call me” said the dog handler “Thanks” I said “I will call you”. The case remains unsolved. Look out for DRF members who are keeping T.Blud the serial killer hidden. T.Blud is out there somewhere but just remember we will catch him sooner or later. WANTED T.BLUD

THE END
