"Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, it's six. The total number of children missing is six," Harper shouted at the officers on call.
"Easy, sir," Jason said in a lower voice.
"Oh Jason, you are here. Here, the number of missing children is increasing and these stupid officers are not able to find anything," Harper said while comforting himself.
"Yes, I heard that more children have gone missing that's why I came to see you. I'm getting worried."
"Jason, don't worry. This one will be caught," Harper said while tapping Jason's shoulder, "Wait a second. You told me that Fred's father was released from prison and in the report it was mentioned that he was a sadistic psycho who used to torture and cut Fred's skin. What if he's behind all this? What if he's torturing these children? I will send an officer to keep track of his movements," Harper said with certainty.
Jason thought about something, looked toward Harper, and gazed at him for a few seconds.
Harper looked at him and asked, "What?"
"Nothing," Jason left the headquarters.
In the empty dark house, the naked man looked at the six children crying. He slapped all of them one by one, and shouted, "You are making it wet. I want it dry, you idiots."
The next day, as Harper was getting ready for work, someone knocked at his door. He went to the door, opened it and someone knocked him with a rod.
Harper's eyes opened. He felt a little pain in his head. His hands and legs were clamped and a cloth was put in his mouth. His mobile was kept on the table on the side. In front of him was a naked person sitting with a red mask on his face and a headphone mic with a voice modulator.
Harper tried to say something but couldn't due to the cloth in his mouth. The naked person said in a grave tone, "You don't need to say anything. I know you want all the children but I cannot give them to you. Those children have that thing. That thing is precious. I desire it at any expense."
Harper again tried to say something but in vain. The naked person continued, "I will get more of them."
The naked man kept looking at Harper for the next three minutes and didn't say anything. After watching him battle to let loose, the naked man took out the cloth from his mouth. Harper took a long breath and after he got stable, he shouted, "You piece of shit. What are you trying to do? Where are the children? If anything happens to them, I will kill you."
The naked man kept looking at Harper. He picked up the cloth and put it in his mouth. Harper struggled and the naked man left the room.
The naked man entered the next room. Harper tried to free himself and let loose his right hand. He heard the naked man's faded singing coming from the next room. He freed his left hand and started untying his legs. The singing became louder. He got worried and freed his legs. He took out the cloth from his mouth. He took his mobile from the table, called a number, and ran toward the door. He pushed the door but it was locked from the other side. He kicked the door once but nothing happened. He took some steps back and ran toward the door and leaped on the door. The door opened with a bang. The room had no window and a red light was on. The naked man was without the red dog mask. His hands were covered in what appeared to be a fluid. There were portions of something lying on the table and he was snipping the same thing with scissors.
Harper glimpsed at the ground and to him, everything appeared in slow motion. He shook his head and shouted, "You sick bastard."
He took out the gun and aimed it at the naked man, "Enough of your madness. Keep your hands behind your head and lie on the floor."
Rather than obeying the orders, the naked man tried to run but Harper clutched him by his neck and slam him on the floor. The police officers reached the spot and brought him to the station.
At the station, the naked man was wrapped in a gown and was shut in a private cell. His arms and legs were cuffed and he was sitting on a chair. A policeman came to Harper and passed him a file, "Sir, here's the report."
He inspected the report and he was horrified, "What the fuck!"
He went to the cell, locked the door, and revealed the file, "What have you done? Do you know what we found?"
"Harper, I found a solution that I had been looking for so many years. I have been confronting this problem since boyhood."
Harper interrupted, "I am not interested in your absurd backstory. You psychos always have an absurd backstory to defend your grounds but I will not let that happen. Thanks to this report, it's affirmed that you have kidnapped fifteen children till now. We found fifteen distinct blood specimens from that room. What the fuck were you even doing?"
Harper took a glass of water and then resumed, "There is a police officer whose wife died some months ago and had a daughter. She was kidnapped. She was such a sweet doll. Her father, the police officer loved her very much. Well, that was what I used to believe but it looks like that was not the case because that father, that police officer is sitting in front of me, and from his house, we found fifteen specimens and one of the specimens is of her daughter. What do you say, Jason?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAXqc7q23XpR
