Jack sat on the couch once again, he was 100 % sure now that it was Reginald, his reaction to getting drink spilled on his suit was extremely suspicious and confirmed who he was, now the only thing he had to do is wait and catch the mouse, he didn't know when the kill was going to happen but Jack knew he would miss it.
As the time went on minutes turned to hours.
2 Hours Later.
Without anyone knowing 2 hours passed and Queen didn't show up, everyone was getting agitated right now, this was unacceptable for most of the nobles here, they were distinguished nobles who came from bloodlines of different aristocrats, if it was any other people they would simply leave but this was the Queen, they had to have patience.
Jack was still looking at Reginald not missing any one of his moves, unconsciously he drank too much and was a little wasted now.
"Fuck me, how did i make such a rookie mistake." Jack felt he let down instructors that gave him the knowledge to be a good detective, since he came to this timeline he made rookie mistakes one after another for some reason. But this wasn't the time to think about this, something was happening.
Sarah Jones talked to her husband for a while before going towards Reginald Wentworth, Jack got tensed up as he went a little close to hear what would they say now.
"Sir Reginald, I must sincerely apologize for accidentally spilling a drink on you earlier. I feel guilty about it and would like to make amends. Please allow me the opportunity to buy you a drink as a gesture of my remorse." Sarah looked at the clear stain on Reginald's suit.
Reginald looked at Sarah and smiled "As i said no problem at all but to free you from your worries i accept, Wait here Emma" Reginald notified his wife and went away with Sarah.
Jack immediately tried to follow them but.
"OH MY GAWD, IS THIS LEGENDARY EDMUND RAID? 'OW DID I MISS SUCH A LEGENDARY FIGURE 'ERE? GAWD GREETINGS, SIR!"
He almost knocked into someone, This someone was... well.
"Yeah hey..." Jack responded but suddenly he noticed Reginald and Sarah disappear from his eyes, his heart started bumping and he immediately tried to search for them.
"Hello, Si---" Before this unknown person finished what he was about to say Jack simply responded.
"PISS OFF" With a panic, he immediately went toward the backside of the room where the beverage that you could buy was leaving the flabbergasted angry person who looked at Jack's backside.
Someone approached him "What is wrong, Sir Charles Warren?"
A Young looking man with a brown mustache and light-filled eyes, he just said "Nuffin', just an arrogant officer, mate. Wot were we talkin' about again?"
Jack rushed towards another room.
"Fuck, i just missed a few seconds of their talk where THE HELL DID THEY WENT." The confusing place was fully revealed to him right now, big corridors that could not be more decorated as well as completely the same material that was used everywhere, the same old red carpet in every room of this castle looked like an exact copy of themselves.
Jack had read the main rooms of this place in 2 hours he spent just observing Reginald And Sarah if he didn't do this he would be lost just searching for them.
After 2 Minutes Of Searching, he reached the luxurious room where you could buy drinks, a more premium beverage with a more premium grape for more premium people room called.
Buck's Row...
Jack opened his eyes wide as his heart started bumping... only words he had in his mind were "OH NO"
He wanted to open the door but a noise was heard.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" A high peach screaming was heard around the room.
Jack immediately busted the door open and saw something.
A compact room with different lights and different clothed people that were gathering around a room on the walls, this room was behind a place where you could buy a drink, this looked like a bar.
He immediately went towards the room and he saw it...
Decipated Sarah, bloodied Bottles of premium bear, clear cuts everywhere on her body., this scene couldn't be described in words...
People surrounded this place like plonks of birds surrounding bread crumbs, they had panicked looks without any color on their faces... Jack opened his eyes wide quickly as he had a thought.
Jack failed...
He couldn't save an innocent girl from Death.
He looked around in a panic to find who the hell did this and to find Reginald Near but... nothing... there was no one that he knew near this place.
He left this room hastily not even acknowledging the screams of men and women shocked faces on their expressions.
He quickly went towards the main room he left already and there he saw it.
"No... No way..." He left a groan as he saw smiling Reginald without any worry, he wasn't without any blood and dirt, he was still the same like nothing happened...
Jack almost lost his strength right now...
"I... Failed..."
10 Hours Later.
Jack was Standing outside of the castle looking at countless cars that were just standing there.
He was thinking about where he went wrong the entire night.
Jack just put his hands on his eyes and mumbled "2 Minutes, killer need 2 minutes to dissect a human being in such a masterful way..." He simply couldn't get rid of the feeling he knew who the killer was but simply couldn't concentrate on it.
"Welp, it looks like you are here Reid." Donald came towards Jack.
"Can i?" He asked to sit near him.
Jack nodded and cleared the seat near him.
Donald took out his cigarette and lit it up. "You Mind mate?" He asked Jack for permission.
"No, you are good it's okay," Jack answered.
For a moment two of them looked at the cars that were standing there and the police officers that were talking to the people in the castle, cold morning breeze was flowing upon them.
"Verily, what a momentous occasion, is it not?" Donald said this.
"Yeah..." Jack responded Both of them stopped for a while.
"You were here right?" Donald asked Jack.
"Yeah."
"You saw what happened..."
"Yeah..."
"Can you say something more?"
"Yes..."
"Fucker..." Donald laughed.
"I was here boss... i was outside of the room when this happened, i couldn't save anyone... anyone..." Jack was talking some gibberish... he knew he couldn't tell Donald he was investigating this case for months...
He knew he couldn't say he was on the tail of a suspected murderer...
He lost... and this lose happened after all those months of his work.
