Chapter 4 - Dark Night In Darkwater

Liam was walking Abigail home after the event down the road as it was now late.

"A gentleman too, was this your sister's lessons," said Abigail.

"Yeah, she was strict teacher as well," said Liam. They would keep walking until something caught his eye. He saw something sticking out of a dumpster in the alley they just crossed. It looked like a female right foot.

"What wrong?" asked Abigail.

"I see something stay here," said Liam. He would start to walk to the dumpster as he got closer he starts to see that it was not a mannequin but seemed to be a real foot. He would finally get to the dumpster and starts to open the lid of the dumpster just to be horrified as he saw what was the remains of a female corpse. She was still fresh as she was just killed and mutilated in the dumpster. Liam was such in shock and falls backward onto his bottom. Abigail sees this and starts to walk over before Liam sticks his left hand out to stop her.

"What wrong?" asked Abigail.

"Abigail, We need to call Robert and your people, because we have a murder here," said Liam.

Two hours have past and it was now really early in the morning before light has come up in the sky. Liam and Abigail were sitting down on a porch, when Robert comes over to them while the Darkwater WPA and Sheriff Department clean up the scene of the crime.

"Miss Anna Williams, she is the general store owner's daughter. What a tragedy, in all of my years serving this town. I never seen something like this," said Robert.

"I haven't even been here for a month and this happens," said Abigail.

"Strange too everything of her was there but she was missing her hands," said Robert. "An no murder weapon either. I guess we have to wait for any clues on the body after forensic."

"Damn, what a night," said Liam.

"Liam, you should head home. It seems we will be heading back to the station, when we finished cleaning up the body," said Abigail.

"Alright," said Liam. He would then started to head home to his ranch and probably would never forget what he saw tonight.

After a few days the death of Anna William spread all round people from Grand and even far out all over West Tumbel. This even would be one of the darkest night in Darkwater history. But this would peak the curiosity of some.

In an office in the city of Grand where a man was working on case as he was a detective. He was a young man, who was in his mid twenties. He had black messy hair with light-colored skin and blue eyes. He wore a dress suit which a dark navy color with a red tie and black dress shoes. This was Detective Bat Marston, who was a great detective as he was still looking for the man who murdered his sister. Another Man enter the office who was Bat's partner. He was a few years older then Bat by a couple of years. He had short brown hair and light colored-skin with brown eyes. He wore dress suit that was a dark brown color with a black tie and leather dress shoes. He brings in coffee for him and Bat. This Man is Issac Morgan.

"Good morning Bat," said Issac.

"I see, you are in a good mood," said Bat.

"Well, Mrs. Morgan gave me a good meal this morning then," said Issac.

"You give her my thanks then," said Bat. Issac head over to his desk and sees all local papers have arrived.

"Back to work let's see which one I start with today," said Issac. He looks through till he sees one, Darkwater times.

"Ah, Darkwater, I been there for a couple good fishing trips. Let's see what going on around there," said Issac.

"Another nostalgic tale from you it seems," said Bat. He would then see Issac spit his coffee when he saw what happened there.

"What wrong?" questioned Bat.

"Read this," said Issac. He hands the paper to Bat and he reads the Death of Anna Williams. He read the report of them and sees she is missing her hands.

"No, so they have returned," said Bat. He already came to the conclusion of that who ever killed Anna William is the same person who killed his sister.

"What is our plan?" asked Issac.

"Simple, we depart for Darkwater," said Bat.
