Chapter 9 - Chapter 9— The Painting

It had been a week since Ava started working with the NYPD and since then, Ryan had been ignoring her and Ava had been patient with him.

"Hey Louis!" Ryan waved at a bearded white slender man from his office. "Please join me in my office!"

Louis rushed over to Ryan's office, "Hey Ryan what's up?"

The two men shook hands.

"Yeah I've been trying to solve this case on my own but now I realized that I'm gonna need all the help I can get!"

Louis nodded as he listened to Ryan.

"Ok so, here's the deal, I'm gonna need you to help me draw a picture of someone from my description".

"Sure let's do it! I'll get my tools!"

The slender man came back with a paper and some pencils, he was all set for the job! He quickly sat down on one of the chairs in the room and set down his paper on the table.

Ryan cleared his throat and began, "It's a girl in her mid 20's, she's white and has long red hair, she has red lipstick on, she has a pointed nose and sea blue eyes, her face is slender with a slightly squared jaw– ", he paused.

"Is that all?" Louis asked.

"She's soo beautiful!" He whispered.

"Yeah from what I can see here, she really is beautiful!" Louis nodded.

"You're done?! already?" Ryan stood up excitedly and moved to where Louis was seated, he took the paper from him. There was a vivid drawing of the red headed lady on the paper. Louis had used the right colours on every part they were needed.

"That's her! That's the thief!" Ryan laughed. "Woow, you're a genius Louis!"

"Ava see if you scan the drawing and run a background check on the face here!"

"Oh so now you need me?" Ava eyed him angrily.

"I'm sorry, I know I haven't been fair to you. You gotta help me out here, this is a big criminal on the loose!"

Ava sighed, "Alright, hand it over". She stretched her hand out to receive the paper from Ryan. She quickly scanned the paper on the printer and uploaded the picture into the computer. She turned the picture into a 4D which made the picture look so real, then she reduced the picture to a smaller size— to the size of a passport photograph. Ava was really good with computers.

She uploaded the picture into the NYPD civilian file records, the file contained the passport photographs, names, ages and addresses of the citizens of New York.

It took a few seconds to completely upload the photograph into the NYPD file, as soon as it was done, she began to search for a match of the photograph. The three of them in the room fixed their eyes on the computer; eagerly waiting for the search results.

They could see different faces of different people appearing rapidly on the screen, the computer continued to run a search for the resident's face that would match the photograph that had been uploaded.

Suddenly, the search ended and there it was, a match! On the other side of the screen, there was a passport photograph of a red headed lady wearing glasses and she matched the picture Louis had drawn.

Name: Lara Daniels

Age: 26

Address: Number 18, Doyers street

Family: None

Criminal Record: None

Whooo! "Ava you're a genius! Please print it out for me in colour". Ryan felt relieved, he felt like a Predator that had caught his prey in the trap he had set.

"Oh! Before I forget, Ryan please put this in your ear, so I can communicate with you whenever you're out there!" She handed him a tiny black chip.

"I already have a walkie-talkie to communicate with the police!"

"Yeah but this one's for you and I, so I can give you a lead on any info you want!"

"Alright!" He collected the chip and put it on. "Thanks Ava I gotta go! Please inform the chief this instant!" Ryan collected the printed paper and hurried out of the building.

"I've got you Lara, I've got you!" He whispered in his car and grinned like a devil.
