Snippet #2465936

Steve let himself under the yellow crime scene tape in the door way. "The woman is dead upstairs." Said The officer nearby as he looked at Steve then nodded towards the stairs. Steve acknowledged the officer and made his way up the stairs. This was the fifth murder committed by the Hand print killer and probably not the last one either. Detective Steve McCoy had been on the case since the beginning and been to every crime scene in the bloody case. Following a trail of bloody footprints back to their origin Steve led himself to the bedroom. where the victim lay on her bed. Multiple stab wounds and sheets soaked with her blood, but none of these things brought suspicion to Marcus Brown, what did was the lone bloody handprint above the headboard. The same handprint had been found at four previous crime scenes. He began to look around the room when he began to hear whimpering. The sounds were coming from the closet, Steve made his way over to the closet and opened the double doors. Huddled in the in the right corner was a little girl cowering and crying in fear. Steve pulled off his walkie talkie, "We've got a live one" He said into the device. He then picked the young girl up and carried out of the room and down the stairs. "It's gonna be okay he said to her a few times. She couldn't have been more than five years old. A female officer took the girl from him and put a blanket on her. Im' gonna need to talk to her he said softly to the female officer. He then leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath.

The sound of his ringing and buzzing cell phone woke Steve up. Two years had gone by since he had put the hand print killer behind bars but he was still having dreams of the case.The clock read 5 a.m He answered his phone with a raspy tired voice, "Hello?"
"Steve, it's chief Matthews" He could tell it was her by her voice but this time something was different, her voice was shaky. "It's about the Hand print Killer........He broke out of custody a few hours ago.......Hes in the City somewhere." Steve was now sitting up in his bed wide awake. He couldn't believe it. "Ill be at the station in a few." He said quickly then after hanging up He quickly took a shower and got dressed. Racing down to the station he noticed the heavy fog made driving very difficult and finding a killer even more difficult. After finally arriving at the station he put his coat down in his office and went out to listen to the chief give details on the case. "Im putting Officer McCoy on the case because hes had previous experience dealing with this psycho. All of the other cops and detectives listening looked too him.
