The S.N. Killer

by speight, shameek

  “The S.N. Killer isn't what everyone thinks he is. But, I believe you already know this. He is called Maori. What that means is the shadow demon."

  "Oh Lord a demon now." Alexis said, being sarcastic with a smirk on her face.

  "Shhhh, Alexis let him finish talking." Lauren said.

  "Yes a demon. A thousand years ago, there was a tribe of cannibals in New Guinea. Maori was the chief of this tribe called Korowai. The cannibal tribe Korowai would go to different villages and kidnap women and raid the small villages killing everyone and taking the women and children. They used poisoned from a dart dipped on the skin of a yellow frog to paralyze their victims and eat them alive. You can Google this if you like detectives, but the surrounding villages got tired of losing their loved ones to the cannibal tribe and got together and attacked and killed almost all of them. The chief of the Korowai tribe, Maori, was also attacked. They chopped off his arms and legs then burnt him alive.

  While he was dying, he cursed everyone and said his soul will always live on. He believed by devouring the flesh of humans it would give him powers. He wasn't only eating their flesh, but their souls."

  "What the hell does this have to do with the S.N. Killer?" Alexis said rolling her eyes.

  "Shhhh, Alexis please bear with him. I need to hear this." Lauren stated. Alexis shook her head and couldn't believe her partner and best friend was feeding into the bullshit.

  "How do you know all of this?" Lauren asked.

  "Remember, I said the other villages killed most of the cannibal Korowai tribe, but well some of them survived and mixed with other tribes and lived normal lives.

  They always told the story of Maori to their children and grandchildren of the return of the shadow demon. We are great descended of the cannibal Korowai tribe. We were told the chief Maori will only return inside descended of his old tribe. No one believes the story was true, but throughout the years there were more and more victims popping up. When the police found the man behind it, he claimed the shadow demon took control of his body and he couldn't stop the killing. Those were his last words he yelled before being shot down. We found out he was a descended of the cannibal tribe. The killing stopped and started again. So, my brothers and I left. It was three of us at that time living in Virginia then the killing started once more for us to only find out our own brother was behind it. When we found him eating two women and screaming that he was no longer in control, but the shadow demon was. Soon the police rushed the house and killed him. But, all they did was kill our brother. The shadow demon is a spirit that roams free. He can only take over the bodies of that his great descended of his tribe. There is no telling how many of them came to America and races got mixed. My brother, V.J. and I knew it wasn't over, but lived normal lives until the shadow demon returned and demanded that we did what was asked of him or our family will be his next meal. So, I supplied him with the anesthetic and V.J.

  supplies him with the SIM Cards and phones. We both took turns driving the cab picking up and dumping his victims. Over the years, he became smarter and smarter and became a technology genius and uses phones and social networks to draw in his victims." Hedy said.

  "So, how do we kill him and stop him for good?" Lauren asked.

  "There's only one way. You have to burn him. You need to set his ass on fire and make sure none of the descendants of his tribe are near. His soul can only travel a mile without a body before it’s forced to return to hell where he belongs." Hedy said.

  "I don't believe what the fuck I'm hearing and you actually believe this shit, Lauren. Fuck this shit just tell me the name of the S.N. Killer. The man you have been taken orders from." Alexis said with anger in her voice with a pen and pad in her hand ready to take the name.

  "Lauren, you know what I'm saying is true. There's a reason you are having those nightmares." Hedy stated.

  "Why?" Lauren asked happy she was finally going to get an answer to something she couldn't understand.

  "Lauren, I've stood quiet long enough if you want to continue to listen to this crazy bullshit, that's fine, but I just want the name of the suspect. We're police officers, do you remember? We deal in facts and evidence not any supernatural bullshit.

  So, Hedy give me the goddamn name!" Alexis shouted.

  "The name of the body the shadow demon dwells within…"

  As soon as the name was about to come out of Hedy's mouth, three blocks in Harlem went black. All the power cut off leaving the precinct in total darkness.

  "He's here! He's here! I told you not to talk. I told you to keep your mouth shut!"

  V.J. screamed with tears running down his face.

  Lauren drew her gun and Alexis did the same.

  "This is a precinct filled with police officers. He's not coming here. It's just a blackout." Alexis said.

  "I'm going to get some flash lights." Lauren stated.

  "I'm coming with you." Alexis replied.

  "Lauren, there's more. I must tell you before he comes for me!" Hedy shouted.

  "I'll be back. It's only a blackout. Let me see what's going on." Lauren said as she followed Alexis to the room door with both of them having their guns drawn.

  They opened the door and shut it behind them. The precinct was pitch-black.

  Lauren and Alexis could hear footsteps and keys shaking from other police officers belts that seem to be running around in the darkness.

  "Ahhhh! Ahhhh!" A loud scream echoed through the precinct.

  "What the hell was that?" Alexis asked as sounds of hard things repeatedly hit the floor.

  Lauren moved her hand around on a desk she had bumped into. She pulled the drawer open and felt around inside it. She smiled when she found what she was searching for.

  "Alexis, I found a flash light." Lauren said.

  "Good turn it on already." Alexis said and turned her head and looked at the bright light in Lauren's hand.

  When Alexis turned her head back around she screamed.

  "Ahhhh!" Standing in front of her was a man with a hoodie over his face only showing his teeth.

  Teeth that looked like belonged to a dog or some sort of animal that were very sharp, smiling at her. In that one second she noticed everything he had on and a meat cleaver in his hand that was dripping fresh blood onto the floor and syringes in a holster vest on his chest. The S.N. Killer grinned and raised the syringe in his right hand.

  "Alexis get down!" Lauren shouted and aimed.

  Alexis dropped to the ground onto her back with her gun aimed at the S.N. Killer’s stomach as her and Lauren squeezed the trigger to their guns simultaneously.

  ‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’

  The bullets from both guns crashed into the S.N. Killer and sent him flying backwards from the impact, but not before he threw the syringes that flew towards the flash light in Lauren's hands, knocking it out of her grip onto the floor.

  "Ugghh!" Lauren screamed.

  "Get the light! Get the flashlight! We got to make sure that son of a bitch isn't moving anymore!" Alexis shouted and hopped off the floor panicking with her gun raised high moving side to side.

  Lauren found the flashlight on the floor and picked it up then got stuck staring at police officer on the floor with a syringe stuck in the side of his neck.

  "Help me." He mumbled and only was able to move his eyes.

  "Don't worry, I'll help you." Lauren said.

  "Lauren, get the fucking light over here now!" Alexis shouted.

  "I’m coming." Lauren said and ran over to Alexis's side.

  "Point the light over there. His body fell right there." Alexis said pointing her gun to a spot in the dark.

  Lauren shined the bright light on the floor and her and Alexis's eyes opened wide in terror as they looked at police officer's with syringes in their head, neck, and throat. Some were sliced open from their stomach to their chest. The spot where the S.N. Killer's body should be, it wasn't there.

  Ms. Redberry jumped out of fear as soon as the lights in the precinct went o
ff. She sat in Lauren and Alexis's private office with her daughter in her arms. Screams from outside the office made her heart race and body shake with fear.

  "He's here. He's fucking here!" She shouted.

  "Whose here miss?" Agent Vincent asked.

  "That goddamn fucking killer that you’re supposed to keep me and my baby safe from." Redberry said with tears running down her cheeks.

  "Don't cry mommy." Her daughter said while in her arms then leaned closer and whispered into her ear.

  "Mommy, we need to get up under the desk now. He won't find us there."

  Ms. Redberry kissed her daughter on the forehead.

  "You're so smart baby."

  "I will protect you. You're in a precinct filled with police officers, and my partner and I, you’re safe." Agent Vincent said looking for a flashlight.

  "I got a flashlight." Lynise said as she turned it on giving the dark office some light.

  The office door was kicked in. The S.N. Killer threw two syringes like darts hitting Lynise in her left breast making her fall back on to her chair. Agent Vincent and William's raised their guns, but couldn't see anything, not even their own hands in front of them. Ms. Redberry felt around the desk and quietly and slowly with her daughter in her arms got on the floor out of the chair and up under the desk and pulled the chair in close to the desk.

  "Ahhhh!" Agent Vincent grunted as a sharp pain hit his head.

  He moved his hand on his forehead and pulled out a syringe then fell face first to the ground.

  "Vincent, are you okay?" Agent Williams called out as he panicked and moved side to side and back pedaled with his gun drawn.

  Then he felt a pain in his chest and his body went numb and he fell to the ground unable to move.

  The S.N. Killer smiled and walked around the office. Redberry and her daughter could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. She held her daughter tightly with her face twisted up in fear and tears streaming down her cheeks. The chair from the desk was pulled away fast.

  "Ahhhh! Ahhhh!" Redberry and her daughter screamed petrified. A bright light shined in their faces.

  "It's detectives Alexis and Lauren. You two have to be quiet." Alexis stated.

  Redberry's heart slowed down and stopped beating as hard as she sighed in relief knowing it wasn't the S.N. Killer.

  V.J. and Hedy watched the interrogation room door open slowly and a dark figure walked in.

  "It was him! Not me, I didn't say anything I swear!" V.J. shouted into the darkness and pointed at his brother.

  “It's too late!” The demon voice said in the darkness and seemed like it was coming from all around them.

  "You will be stopped one day!" Hedy shouted then screamed "Ahhhh! Ahhhh!” as his stomach was sliced open.

  He tried to move, but couldn't from being handcuffed to the stainless table. A hand dug into his insides from the open wound in his stomach. The S.N. Killer grabbed his intestines and pulled them out.

  "Ahhhh! Help me! I didn't say anything. I didn't talk! Ahhhh!" V.J. screamed as his stomach was sliced open and his intestines were pulled out as well.

  The S.N. Killer stuffed Hedy's intestines in V.J.'s mouth and pushed it down his throat. Then he did the same to Hedy stuffing his brother's intestines in his mouth and down his throat.

  "Remember where you are descended from and now eat." The S.N. Killer said with an evil grin on his face then swung the meat cleaver with all his might swinging side to side hacking into V.J.'s chest then Hedy's at the same time.

  The meat cleaver cut through their chest bones. He stuck his hand into V.J.'s chest and ripped out his still beating heart. He looked at the heart throbbing in his hand then stuffed it in his coat pocket then did the same too Hedy. V.J. and Hedy screams echoed through the precinct. Other inmates in holding cells backed away from the cell bars and stood quiet.

  Lauren and Alexis looked at each other and then flashed the bright light back on Ms. Redberry and her daughter.

  "You two stay here and try to be quiet." Alexis said and pushed the chair back in front of them and cautiously walked out of the office and made their way to the interrogation room.

  The door was half way opened as they entered the room.

  “V.J.! Hedy!" Lauren called out their names.

  All the lights came back on in the precinct and four blocks of the area the power was returned.

  "Ugghh!" Lauren said as she covered her mouth with her hand.

  She looked at V.J. and Hedy's chest cut open and their intestines in each other's mouth.

  "What the fuck! I have never seen anything like this!" Alexis shouted with her eyes opened in shock.

  Police officers that were proctoring the streets came into the precinct with their guns drawn and a confused looks on their faces as they looked at the forty police officers and detectives with syringes stuck in their bodies, paralyzed on the floor.

  Chapter 25

  An hour later, all the police officers were in Harlem Hospital waiting for the drug to wear off. Sergeant Wahberg walked up to Alexis and Lauren.

  "Can you two explain how the hell this happened? How half my precinct is in the damn hospital paralyzed from a fucking drug? And how your two suspects are now dead in our custody?"

  "Sergeant Wahberg, we can't tell you nothing. We don't know. All we can say is our suspects were working with a third killer that we just found out tonight. When the suspect, Hedy, was about to confess to it all the power went out for four blocks diameter including the precinct. The S.N. Killer attacked as you can see and killed the two suspects along with three officers and two detectives and drugged the rest, even the two F.B.I. Agents Vincent and William." Alexis responded as she wondered if Vincent was going to be okay.

  "Well I want this damn suspect dead or alive. He's making my precinct look like a fucking joke!" Sergeant Wahberg yelled.

  We will get him. The suspect had to leave some kind of evidence behind tonight."

  Alexis responded and walked off with Lauren following her.

  The hospital was filled with armed police officers guarding all the rooms to protect them. Alexis walked to Agent Vincent and William's room as a doctor stepped out of it.

  "Doctor, are they going to be okay?"

  The doctor looked up from the paper work in his hand.

  "Yes detective, just like I told you with your friend and co-worker Lynise they all will be fine after two hours, the anesthetic doesn't last too long. So they all should be back to normal soon, there will be no side effect. Whoever this guy is, he's smart. He knows the right amount of drug to put in the human body system. If he was off just a little bit, they would go into a medical coma." The doctor said and walked off to go check on more of his patients.

  Alexis walked into Agent Vincent's room with Lauren behind her. Agent William’s bed was across from Agent Vincent's bed. Lauren walked up to William. His eyes were open and an I.V. was stuck in his arm. She played with his hair and softly kissed his lips. Five feet away, Alexis was doing the same thing to Agent Vincent. She leaned in close and placed her lips near his ear.

  "I fell in love with you, baby, so fast. I can't lose you when I just got you." She whispered into his ear then kissed him on the forehead and quickly wiped the tear off her face before Lauren could notice it.

  "I'll be back in a few hours when your better. I need to check on my daughter."

  She said as she stared into Vincent's eyes.

  He used all his strength and managed to crack a smile on his face that made Alexis heart melt.

  Alexis and Lauren said their goodbyes. Alexis sat in the passenger side of Lauren's car as she drove her home. She looked at her phone to read the time that read 4am in the morning.

  "It has just been one crazy ass night, partner, it has been one thing after another."

  "Yeah you’re right about that, Alexis. Shit, I don't even want to go home. I'm afraid to sleep by myself. The nightmares I'm having are becoming too damn much. It's like I know they’re dreams, but there's so
much more." Lauren replied while driving.

  "Yeah, I kind of understand because there's too much weird shit going on right now. Lauren, we need to get this motherfucker." Alexis said shaking her head side to side.

  "We will. There's got to be something that leads us to him. I know you don't believe what V.J. and Hedy said, but I do. Alexis, the things Hedy said about people being descended from cannibals and this demon is real. You would believe it if you have seen and felt the things I have."

  "Shit Lauren, after tonight, I don't know what the hell I believe. I have seen a murderer blackout a neighborhood twice in one night and come into a precinct and kill a hand full of cops and drugged the rest, and on top of it all, killed our two main suspects. This shit is worse than me reading one of my urban novels that I love." Alexis said as the car came to a full stop and she turned her head and realized she was in front of her condo building.

  "Okay Lauren, thanks for the ride. Come get me in a few hours. I'm not really trying to stay in my house. I just need some rest before I stress myself out."

  "Alexis, I know I'm not the one to say anything about being afraid to go in my own home, but you can't keep fucking Cassandra. You have to tell her you don't love her and kick her ass out. Shit, I really didn't want you with that woman in the first place. She's just a young gold digger using you for shopping sprees and that new B.M.W. you got her and she’s living rent free." Lauren stated.

  "I know! I know, Lauren. I was just in love with her sexy ass. It was the beauty that had me stuck and her sex game. Mmmm, that woman can eat my pussy for hours." Alexis replied.

  "Okay, that's way too much information. I just don't need to know that." Lauren said with her face balled up.

  "Anyway…" Alexis said with a smile on her face. "It's just crazy how Vincent just came in my life and filled me with a love I never felt before in such a short time.

  He makes me happy, Lauren. And I don't ever want to lose him." Alexis said and wiped the tear from her eyes.

  "Awww, girl, I've never seen you like this." Lauren said and hugged her.

  "Don't worry, everything will work itself out. I can feel it." Lauren responded as Alexis hugged her back.
