A heavy silence fell over the room. The name mentioned hung in the air, a chilling reminder for every anti-narcotics police officer. Every year, countless comrades’ lives were reaped by a drug known as ‘The Dark Reaper. This highly addictive drug developed by a transnational criminal organization boasted the highest purity on the market, making it the most popular and deadliest choice among similar substances.
However, after ten years of relentless police work, there was finally a breakthrough. Three months before, this transnational drug cartel was finally dismantled. The leader was taken down in a shootout, and all their stock of drugs was destroyed.
Now, here they were, staring at the dismembered remains of a woman. This gruesome case likely involved members of the group that evaded capture in the past.
They were back and this attack seemed like a deliberate act of revenge against the police.
Part 2
An officer entered the room, carrying a shoebox-sized package. "Captain Williams," he called, "your wife sent something again...."
Jayden's expression turned cold at the mention of my name. "From now on," he ordered with a disgusted tone, "throw away anything she brings."
Sensing his colleague’s frustration, Zac sighed and patted his shoulder. "Look, it's been a while now. What happened to your father... wasn't Samara’s fault. She's a victim too here."
With that, he opened the box, revealing a transparent jar inside.
A collective gasp filled the room as everyone saw something inside the jar. My husband's hand went slack and the jar tumbled from his grasp, shattering on the floor. Inside was… a perfectly formed fetus preserved in formalin.
But what truly sent shivers down everyone's spine was the disturbing, almost eerie, smile stretched across its tiny face. Even crashing to the floor, the fetus remained eerily still. It even bounced a little on impact.
A forensic doctor reacted swiftly, securing the tiny body in an evidence bag. One look was all it took for them to form a conclusion. "Fake," he declared.
Jayden's face burned red with fury. "This is just another one of her crazy tricks to get my attention!" he roared, accusing me after hearing just a single word.
But I had never sent that.
The officers were clearly shocked by the gruesome display and remained silent. Perhaps, they too thought it was a prank gone too far by me.
