In Plain Sight by Alyza (ereader with dictionary txt) 📕

familiar with the area, knows people. He’s basically right under our noses and we haven’t a clue who he is. I also noticed that each killing gets more vulgar. He causes more pain.

“Michael was stabbed, Jacob was stabbed and shot once, and William was stabbed 8 times and shot twice. Where was Michael Ace found?” I asked looking through the file

“His house. In his living room.” My Dad answered

“Jacob?” I asked

“Side his work building. William was found…at the park.” My Dad said slowly

“See? He’s getting more careless or he doesn’t care if you find the bodies. He wants something. He wants you to fid these bodies. He’s doing it for the fame. He’s gets a sense of pride when the news talks about his kills.” I said

“He playing with us.” He bit his thumb

I nodded, “He’s trying to show you that there is nothing you can do. By doing it out in the open he’s saying that you’re not going to catch him.”

“So, if he’s going after criminals that didn’t get convicted…” He trailed off

“Search all the crimes in that last 10 years, narrow it down to who wasn’t convicted. This guy has some sort of list. He’s already planned who he is killing next. If we’re there when he does, we got him.” I smiled proudly and leaned back in my chair

“One step ahead.” My Dad said thoughtfully, “I’m going to the station to tell them. C’mon.” He said standing up

I stood up and followed him into the living room.

“Where are you guys going?” I heard my Moms voice ask

“Station.” My Dad answer vaguely

“Why is my daughter going?” She asked walking up to us

I rolled my eye and my Dad answered, “Because she just cracked this case.”

I smiled and put my white Vans on, walking out the door behing my Dad.

“Lock the door.” I said to my Mom

“Be safe.” She said before closing the door

I hopped into my Dads truck as he started it and pulled out of the drive way. He pulled into the station. We got out and he quickly walked into the station, me on his heels.

“Tristian? Why are you back?” His Chief asked

“I found some things out about these murders.” My Dad said showing him the file

The other officers surrounded us and my Dad turned to me, “Tell ‘em.”

I gulped and nodded, “Well, whoever this guy is, he going after people that weren’t convicted for the things they did. Michael killed a women, Jacob raped and murdered his wife, and William was a child rapist.

“This serial killer is going after a distinct group of people. You need to look up all the crimes in the last 10 years-” Someone cut me off

“10 years? How is that going to help anything?” A really buff guy demanded

“Shut up. As I was saying, look back 10 years, narrow down the search by looking to see who was on trial but not convicted. The killer has some sort of list. A list of people to kill. Sort of like a hot man would but he’s doing these on his own. If we can find the next person on that list and beat the killer to wherever that person is. Then we have him surround. Only way to get out is to come with us or suicide by cop.” I stated looking around

They all looked thoughtful.

“Cortez! Look it up!” The Chief yelled looking at me in confusion

A cop scurried away.

“How did you find this out?” Chief asked

I shrugged, “Paying close attention.”

“Chief! We go it!” Cortez yelled

All the officers ran over to his desk and I followed at a leisure pace.

“Ten people not convicted but went to trial. All found not guilty but people believe they did it. Michael Ace, Jacob Levi, and William Stone, all at the top of this list.” Cortez said looking at me
