Concealed Crime Investigation - Chapter 12 Get Me

“Go!”, Yasmina whispers through the ear piece and on command we four get on the ship’s deck. Even here is no guard placed and all in all it seems very calm up here. More like Samuel is on vacation, less like the reality: We would kill him at the first chance we get.

“In hiding! Every body, go in hiding!”, Silvia screams at us and my ears start aching, since she was not loud but very loud!

“What’s up? Anyways, how are you able to see what’s coming at us?”, David sneers right beside me. He seems to be still mad at her, since she took her time tracking the ship.

“Well, I got myself hecked into the cameras just now.”

“That was fast, compared to the tracking of this ship…”, he grins, knowing exactly how to get her angry.

“It’s not the time to be fighting, guys!”, Sophie interrupts the two of them.

“She’s right. We were on it since we found the ship so I wouldn’t call that fast. He has some good softwares and hardware on this…”, Annabelle cuts in and David starts laughing silently again. He thinks they are not capable of doing their job right, since he never had those lessons. But Yasmina and me know to respect their efforts, since we tried ourselves and I’d say, I failed hard on that. Even she wasn’t the great king in that stuff.

“So, this all is a bad trick he has pulled out there: He stationed some of his guards hidden on the ship. He himself isn’t even on deck, he should be somewhere down. They should be waiting for you. Maybe they wait, till somebody crosses a certain line, and they will shoot him or her.”

“Thanks Silvia, but I don’t think so. It would be dumb to do that. We are still on deck and we would be able to flee or we’d be alarmed. And as we know him hes the person to finish what he starts. He wouldn’t kill only one of us, he would kill us all. I think they wait, till everyone has crossed this certain line and they would circle us and shoot us down then.”, Yasmina reminds us on what he’s done to the other unit of the police.

“Right, guys I think so too. What Ya says sounds just like him. Somebody’s got an idea?”, I ask in the round. Silence befalls us.

“Uhm, I might have something in mind. How about we split up again, would mean everyone would come from another direction, but if possible from above, you know, climb on something and go further into their direction from up there. Then we could eliminate them and free our way to the the cabin where he hides.”, Sophie tells us. This might be acceptable. But it will still have so e difficulties.
for visiting.

“I’d go with that, uhm, still, down there it would get difficult, wouldn’t it? The corridor is small and we won’t have much space to move, if somebody atacs us from besides or above.”, David thinks about it.

“That’s right. But how about we just let that be, cover the ship with our bombs and blow it up, after bringing some distance between the ship and us?”, I suggest.

“Yeah, great idea, we’ll go with that.”, Yasmina decides and we all stand up. Hiding is over!

“You’re going over there?”, David pushes me to the left side and then starts climbing up the container we were just hiding behind. Well, I guess I’m no longer needed…

“Reddy?”, Sophie whispers and I respond: “Yeah, David too.”

“Well then, let’s get that done!”, she says and we all start climbing up somewhere. I climb up a batch of boxes and some other things. Quite interesting what is all on that batch…

“Do you see anybody?”, Sophie asks us and she sounds quite irritated. Guess she doesn’t see anybody.

“Yes, I do. Quite a lot actually.”, Yasmina responds.

“You do? I don’t.”, she says. See? I told you so. To be honest, I don’t see anybody as well. Maybe I can since I’m across from Sophie (we are organized in a cross today, you see: Sophie in the North, I’m in the South, David East and Yasmina West), so only David and Yasmina can see. Hah, no one to shoot for me today, so it seems…

It’s getting kind of noisy on an end of an ear piece. So I ask directly in our round: “On wich end is it getting noisy?”

“At ours, Finn. We seem to have some difficulties…”, Silvia breathes a worried sentence.

“You’re getting nothing done perfectly, are you?”, David mocks her again.

“Ok, alright, what is it?”

“It seems we’re not the only ones who are hacked into the camera system. And the heat-light camera shows that the persons that are hiding on the deck are, well, it shows no red light, meaning, their bodys are cold.”, she explains.

“Corpses?”, I ask dumbfounded. Or dolls? What has this guy thought of this time? It was foolish from the start… It all was just way too easy for someone who killed a whole police unit. So I can’t resist the urge to run down any more and so I do: “I’m checking that out, I will go down there!”

“I’ll come with you.”, Yasmina tells me and we head down. On the run I shoot one, just to be sure, but it all seems true: the man falls behind and just little blood is running out of the hole I got him in his head. Definitely a Corpse. He’s been dead for some time now. That explains the little blood that’s running. And even the others haven’t moved one bit. And now that we’re standing here we realise the strategy used: Samuel killed the police unit, dressed them differently and left them here in this position.They look real, but they’re just dead people. And even if you take a closer look, they already started rotting and reeking.

And then there is the other person hecked into the system… Samuel!

I looke right in the camera. That’s where he is. He isn’t somewhere down where we expected him. He is sly. And I can imagine the triumphal look on his face.

“Run! Everyone, jump into the sea! Now!”, I instruct them screaming. He will blow this ship up, just before we would and kill us with that! I hear explosions going off behind me and they’re coming nearer and nearer, even though we run, this would be the end. And I just started living! I’m just 26 now! Panic creeps through me and all I have in mind is run and jump.

The next blow hits us hard tough and I dont even come to jump anymore. Some things hit me and I start bleeding (yeah it hurts pretty much) while being blowed through the air.

The last thing I hear is Yasmina yelling: “Finn! Get me!”

But I’m sorry I’m not able anymore.
