THE SKY STARTED TO CRY AS I RUSH TO HEADQUARTES TO REOPEN A CASE FILE I DONE OVER EIGHT YEARS AGO. A LITTLE BOY NAMED RANDY JOHNSON WAS KIDNAPPED BY ONE OF THE MOST NUCTURIOUS KIDNAPPERS IN ALL OF CHICAGO WAS DANIEL HEART. WE COULDN'T SAVE HIM IN TIME BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY READY FOR THE RANDSOM. SO HE WAS SHOT. WE LATER FOUND HIS BODY, BURIED, FIVE MILES AWAY FROM CHICAGO, ALONG WITH HIS KILLER. HE WAS FOUND GUILTY AND WAS SENTENCE TO LIFE IN PRISON. NOW I HAVE TO WALK BACK DOWN MEMORY LANE TO CATCH THE MAN WHO MADE 33, NOW 34, COUNTS OF KIDNAPPINGS AND MURDERS.
I WENT TO THE FILE ROOM, WHERE WE KEEP OUR SOLVED OR UNSOLVED CASES TO LOOK AT THE JOHNSON CASE. THEN I LOOKED AT THE CRIMINAL RECORD OF DANIAL HEART TO SEE IF THE TYPE OF SCENES HE CAUSED NEARLY MATCH TO THE SCENE WE SAW EARLIER. WITHOUT DOUT, IT WAS INDEED A MATCH. A MAN IN PRISON IS CAUSING ANOTHER CHILD GOING MISSING. BUT IF HE IS IN JAIL, AND ALL HIS FRIENDS IS IN JAIL FOR THE SAME AMOUT OF TIME AS HEART, WHO IS DOING THIS. HE HAD NO OTHER FRIENDS, GIRLFRIENDS, NOR FAMILY MEMBERS OUTSIDE THAT HE COULD CONTACT. I EVEN ASKED MY SELF IF IT WERE A COPY CAT. I KNEW THAT THIS CASE WAS GOING TO BE HAD TO SOLVE, AGAIN.
JANE KNOCK ON MY WINDOW AND MOUTHED AT ME, COME TO MY OFFICE IN 3 MINUTES. AND I DID AS TOLD. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HER OFFICE SHE FINISHED TALKING TO THE JUDGE, THAT TOKE OUR CASE, FOR A WARRANT. THEN SHE TURNED TO ME, “COUNTY DESIDED TO LET US TLK TO HEART BUT ONLY FOR A MOMENT. THEY DIDN’T TELL US WHY SO I LOOKED AT THE COURT FILES AND HE IS SHEDULED TO BE EXICUTED AT 5:00 TODAY. SO I TALK TO THE JUDGE TO HOLD OFF THE EXICUTION AND A WARRANT FOR A SEARCH IN HIS CELL. HE AGREED TO BOTH. HIS EXITUTION WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT MONTH.”
I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT HE WAS SENTENCE TO THE CHAIR. THANK GOD THE JUDGE RESCHEDULED HIS EXICUTION. I THEN LEFT THE ROOM TO GET MY EQUIPMENT AND MY COLT AND JANE, JOHN, AND ME LEFT TO THE COUNTY PRISON.
WE ARRIVED ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER AT COUNTY....
