The air was heavy with fear in the town of london it had been like that for a year now ever since the killings started nobles have been dropping like flies the press had named the murder the scarlet killer blood painting walls of Noble men's homes. leaving no trace he had ever been in the home but a letter in a scarlet red envelope. The letters filled with utter nonsense detectives couldn't make heads or tails of them. The detective we're still trying to decode the latest letter…… Well least one of them still was The senior detective started hitting the bottle about an hour or so ago but the junior detective was still trying and then a realization hit him like a ton of bricks all of the letters had The words she and her in them the killer head always mention some girl in his letters but never by name The young detective begin going through all the letters the killer had left at the crime scenes and then he found it One of the letters mentioned an amount of time it said it is been 10 years since they've taken her from me and I can't take it anymore. The detective begin going through case files from 10 years ago surprisingly enough a large amount of young girls had gone missing then all of them being between the ages of 10 and 17 but most of the missing girls in the files were either transients or prostitutes The detective immediately put the files including prostitute to transients back into the cabinet it was rather obvious that the killer had cared for the girl immensely and then he found it is a missing person's report from 10 years ago 13-year-old Mina Jones had gone missing her older brother matthew jones had been the one to file the report sadly no evidence was ever found and do to the increase of missing girls the detective team working all of the cases had ruled it a kidnapping ring and had closed all of the cases involving the girls marking them unsolved. The young detective commented on mina’s file and the senior detective let out a long sad sigh and then spoke it's a real sad thing what happened to that boy his parents dying leaving him to care for his little sister all alone then not 6 years later someone up and takes her from him the poor kid. The young detective was shocked not even noticing he had said anything until the senior detective answered of course their were suspects but they were all Noblemen and well they get special treatment after the senior detective finished he let out a loud gasp the young detective looked at him in curiosity. the senior detective began to speak in a fast paced manner. all of the victims in our case were suspects in that kidnapping case and there's only one suspect left sir Reginald. The detectives raced out of the station and to sir Reginald's home as they reached the door hearts pounding in their chests fist clenched centimeters away from the door ready to knock when the faint echo of gunfire rings throughout the house the detective's break through the door the sound of splintering wood ringing in their ears only to noticed a large bookcase that looked out of place in the room on further inspection they released it was hiding a secret passageway they distended into the dark passageway soon finding a small room finding inside it the dieing form of Matthew jones the young detective taking him in his arms and as Matthew breathed his final breath he uttered his final words tell her I tried then he was gone.
