Svipe disappeared into the growing night. Tomorrow was soon upon Istra. With much despair, the daily news opened with headlines that spoke, "-The DB. Killer's taunt."
Police tape lined the outside of the station. The Chief Investigator arrived on the scene. Arrived but it was little more than a two-minute walk from the station. A headless body was crucified against a concrete wall.
"Did no one see him?"
"I don't know," police officers were on edge. The body was fixed a few walls from the station, in an alley separating occupied eateries. Investigators prowled the street for witnesses or otherwise, proof.
Jack removed his hat and entered the scene, "-report."
"Body was found at 05:45 this morning."
"What about last night?"
The officer moved one step and turned towards a man. The chief walked, and the officers cleared, leaving a somewhat private tête-à-tête. "You are?"
"Name's Arnold. I found the body."
