Detective

August 1884-april 1885
It was 1:30 in the morning. I had not slept in two days. I took some uppers to keep me awake. I had to find him and make sure little Beth was safe. He had taken her yesterday morning. We got the call an hour later. She was missing from school. The evidence was written all over the girl's bathroom. Drying blood splattered on the wall. Her jacket, ripped, was thrown into a toilet.

I was standing outside the warehouse with my gun cocked. I wasn't going to take any chances. I peered into a window. The warehouse was empty. There was one single light on in the middle if the room. It barely gave off any light. I couldn't see anything. I would have to go inside. There was no noise. I couldn't even tell if the girl was alright.

I walked through a side door. No one seemed to notice. I hid in the shadows looking for Beth. Where could he have taken her? That's when I heard the small whimper. It sounded like a girl. I followed the noise and came upon a chair. Beth was tied up to it. She looked horrible. Her face was puffed up and bruised. Chunks of hair...
