《The Whitechapel Murderer》Something Hidden
Advertisement
Hebrew nodded and walked out of the police station. Again, his feet walked faster than he thought. Somewhat he found this case interesting, and now he wanted to be in this case.
"I'll take you there..." Mr Winchester said, who seemed to have been following Hebrew since he left his chamber.
He nodded quietly and sat in the front seat of Winchester's car.
"The under-bridge area has been sealed right now. No one may go so… even if you'll mention me they won't let you in." Hebrew nodded and kept his gaze in his front.
"By the way...my coffee is still due, Mr Winchester..." Hebrew said, and Winchester laughed out loud.
"How can you imagine such things at such times?"
"Not a compliment, it seems..." Hebrew objected.
"It is. It definitely is..." Winchester insisted and Hebrew just nodded as he looked out of the window.
Within ten minutes, they reached the scene. Hebrew, now, could see barriers of police covering the area from above the road as the car gradually slowed down. He descended from the car wearing his long overcoat and hat while his neck was covered with a brown muffler.
He walked down the slope leading to the crime scene and as he reached near. The officers standing there looked at him with confusion and frowns.
"Sorry, sir but-" Hebrew sighed in frustration
"He's with me!" Mr Winchester said from behind, interrupting the officer.
"Sorry, sir..." He lowered his eyes. Hebrew bent a bit towards his ear and whispered.
"All you say is... sorry..." the officer glared up, and he shrugged with a smirk.
Hebrew passed through the police barrier nearing the lying corpse of the lady wearing a coat suit, carbon black coloured while the inner shirt she wore was grey.

"This is the victim-" he showed the back of his hand to Mr Winchester who was standing behind as to stop him.
He went near the body and squatted down to get a proper look at her face.
"It is not distorted..." he thought.
Many things were going through his mind. The woman neither seemed much younger nor much older. Nearly in her twenty... five...?
"Her age?" He asked out.
"Twenty-nine," Winchester quickly replied, and Hebrew nodded.
Her throat had been slit perfectly, making a thin line concluding that the person is quite a professional with knives.
"Where did she used to work?"
"She worked as a server in a nearby restaurant."
"Her relatives?" He questioned further.
"We found no one, no missing complaint so far..." And this struck his head.
From what he had heard during the phone call in the morning said something else...
"A murder has been reported." Winchester had informed Hebrew earlier on the call, but what else he heard differed from what Winchester says now...
"You know this is the same lady which went missing two weeks ago, and they filed her missing report..."
"Oh yeah! Now I remember...yeah, it quite devastated her family member when he came here..."
'This conversation could've been overheard even by a six-year-old too, how clearly it could be heard in the loudness of all those telephone rings and indistinct chatters on the other side.' Hebrew thought.
'So why is Winchester hiding it from me?' Hebrew questioned himself.
"You're sure?" He interrogated and glared at him with his piercing eyes.
Little did Winchester hesitate, but he still claimed confidently,
"Yeah, I'm sure!"
Hebrew nodded, but he knew there was something Winchester was hiding. But he also knew that asking him directly will welcome more lies and excuses. So he knew he had to find it himself.

"Excuse me..." Hebrew came out of the police barriers.
"So...what do you think?" Winchester followed him a few steps behind.
Hebrew stopped and turned around.
"Maybe we can solve..."
Winchester laughed in relief and patted his shoulder.
"I knew you would!" he exclaimed delightfully...

Now Hebrew stood in front of a glass board hung just above the fireplace. The fire lit in the fireplace was lightening his face brightly, but his surrounding was all dark.
He sunk in his thoughts; he was so concentrated on it he didn't realise when the glass board lit up as the door behind him opened and when someone switched on the lights.
"This will never work!" The woman yelled.
"Who the hell are you to snatch my case from me?" She turned Hebrew abruptly from his shoulder...

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
