The Voice - Episode 5

 

“Sir, I have an idea”, a young agent from the cyber unit said, raising up his hand. The DG (Mr Akinola) looked up at him dejectedly, as he gazed at him for a moment and shook his head.
'What could a small boy of his age do on a death case such as this? He was just a boy of eighteen years and was considered the smartest among his colleagues but that doesn’t mean that he needs his help or whatever idea he got.' The DG thought to himself.

“What’s the idea!” Cole shouted walking towards him, checking his phone as he walked.

“We have no time left, we have to…” Cole was immediately interrupted by the young boy.

“Sir, there is no bomb!, its only a ploy” he said and stood up facing cole with an apologetic look for the interruption.

“i did a …” the boy was saying but had to stop when all the phones gave a loud beeping sound, it stopped and a loud noise erupted from the devices.

“Hello everyone”, an unknown computerized voice said.

“I can see you having a hard time solving this but anyway, I don’t mean to harm you yet because this monster hasn’t tell me to. You are wondering who this monster is right?” the voice stopped and laughed, laughing inhumanely.

“Well, even I myself doesn’t know” the voice continued.

“But when this monster entered my brain, I never knew

. But it here to stay. Society can be thankful that there are ways for people like me to relieve by daydreams of some victim being torture. It a big complicated game my friend of the monster play putting victims number down. Follow them, checking up on them, waiting in the dark, waiting, waiting… Maybe you can stop him but I can’t. He has
already chosen his next victim and it might be you, yes you!” the voice screamed and laughed again.

There was silence at the other end of the phone.

Long silence.

“I will be right back” the voice said after a long silence and it went off.
Everybody gazed at each other surprised and petrified.

“We have no idea of what we are up against” Mr Akinola said and looked on at the team.

“You’ll need to workout something useful, we need a lead” he completed his speech and walked out of the room while Cole followed behind.

“Go get some rest and get that covered up” Mr Akinola said immediately they got to his office.

“I will”, Cole replied.

“You can take a whole week off”

Cole gasped, “a whole week?”

"Is that too small? if it is, make it two”

The night was cold and windy, it
was a good night to kill. He had watched her for two weeks and he knew she was coming, she always did. The road was straight and clear, he would see her long before she came close. He stood up from the long bench he sat on which was reserved for travelers and made a walk down the deserted alleyway to the main road. He was always clad in a black suit whenever he want to kill, dressing corporately like every other responsible man. Anyway to himself, he was a good responsible man, a good bad guy. To kill is now part of himself though not a self will but he was compelled.

Compelled by who?

The monster?

He chuckled and smiled. Yes the monster made him do it, they made him do it and he wouldn’t stop until he feels its enough.

. He got to the main road, no cars passing by, he didn’t expect any either. He could not afford any witness and he would get none. He looked up and there she was, cat walking like she was having a show off of her walking skills. She was getting closer now, he stepped back and hid behind a coconut tree. He could not make any mistakes albeit the fact that he cared less of making one, even if he did, he got himself covered. He smiled mischievously.

'Those fools the CIB would never get me, they sure can’t.', he thought.

He inhaled her scent deeply as the wind blew it to him, he knew she was very close and doesn’t need to scare her away. He shoved his hands into his pocket and brought out a set of hand gloves. He wore it getting ready for the kill. Her high heels shoe clumped on the ground as she moved closer towards him. She was five feet away when he stepped out from behind the tree.

“Hello angel”, he bellowed out disguising his voice.

She freaked out when she saw him.

“What the fuck?”, she screamed but he immediately lounge an attack at her. He held and twisted her hand and dragged her to himself stifling her throat.

“Do you want to die?”, he asked with a crooked smile looking up at the security cameras, he was less perturbed by it.

“No”, she managed to gasp.

“Neither was she”, he said before slitting her throat with a short knife.

He dropped her lifeless body on the floor by the road side.

He smiled a fulfilling smile and he could also see her smile.
