Chapter 3 - It's only just the beginning

Pine cone city was an extremely beautiful and large city where alot of things were happening. It was a city where things were happening as it was nick named the happening city because a lot things where happening in terms of fashion, business, education and crime. Most crimes that were committed were mostly robberies that happened once in a blue moon as they were easy to solve by the police department ,but now crime is much higher than it was especially the mysterious murder cases.

One month after the park incident there were several cases of missing persons that were reported and most of them were found dead . Jack tried to make sense of these murders he always thought that being a detective was hard but he had ability to look into the past made it easier for him and eventually he was able to solve these cases easily,but with the mysterious murders that were happening made it harder for Jack and not to mention the pressure from the higher ups to solve these cases.

"They are all the same no matter how you look at it" Jack said as he was going through his files and read different eye witness accounts from different people

"They all wore mask and am always seeing shadows it doesn't make any sense".

Jack thought to himself and brought about the idea of it being of it being a serial murderer,but most of the bodies that were disposed were found in different places all over the city . Jack looked at the time and it 11pm

"I guess it's time to go"

jack said as he got ready to leave the station after a long day of work and headed to where he had parked his car checking his pocket he realized he didn't have his keys with him . As he turned around to go back Jack was attacked from behind with a baseball bat , Jack felt his energy leaving him but he stood up once he saw that he was under attack,but he was surrounded by five people at all sides each carrying different objects in their hands

"why didn't I bring my gun with me"

Jack said as he stood up to fight the armed men ,but then again he was hit with a wooden plank and fell unconscious.

Jack woke up and saw himself tied up from head to toe he looked around and saw that he was In an abandoned building. It was dark and had very little light and in front of him were the people that attacked and kidnapped . Jack couldn't see their faces because they all wore mask "hey you guys know am a police officer right?"

"Yeah we know, what are you gonna about it ?"

One of them asked .

"You know if you guys can release me we can just forget that this ever happened and we can put all this behind you know?"

"Is that some kind of a joke? "

"That's enough."

One them said presumably their leader

"get ready officer or should I say detective you are about to be an offering to our God and you should be grateful your soul will be used as a sacrifice to him" Jack in a state of confusion asked

"are you guys responsible for all those missing persons and murders?"

"They played their part as offerings and so will you, kill him" . Hearing this Jack was thinking of how make this situation to his favour and at the same time one of the men brought in a plastic bag and placed above Jack's head and sealed it rightly. Jack tried his best to fight back but he was slowly losing his vision and losing his consciousness to him every where was becoming dark.

"is this where it ends ? " Jack said as his consciousness faded away.
