Two days later a daily newspaper headline read ‘GIRL 15 FOUND IN BACK ALLEY HALF DEAD’ Dominic read on, as he read an evil smile came across his face, it was the smile of success. But that smile was soon to be turned upside down.
On September 1st the news paper headline read ‘GIRL BRUTALLY BEATEN IN ALLEY PASTED AWAY LAST NIGHT.’
“What have I done?” Dominic screamed outloud. As he read he broke into tears.
“I didn’t mean to do that” He explained to the police officer “I didn’t think I could, I only hit her once with a piece of wood”
Scientists had said she had been hit with something hard like wood, but they also said she had been given an overdose of drugs, which Dominic had denied. Things didn’t add up so the police went to Peter Jones, the local inspector.
When Jones and his assistant Neil came to where the body lay in the hospital, Peter Jones took a good look at the body “What do you think he asked Neil as he examined the body,
“Looks like murder to me” Neil replied. Peter gave him a look as if to say ‘Shut up you stupid idiot.’ Neil wasn’t the sharpest knife in the draw but he did amaze Jones sometimes. ‘Like a battery’ Jones would say, ‘full power sometimes, then his brain is dead, but after being recharged he’s as quick as a hare being chased.
“Yes its murder Neil, we already knew that, but we need to find who did this. I’m going to ask the doctor what he knows.”
A few days later Jones was sitting in his chair. “You know who it was, don’t you?” Neil asked.
“I have my suspicions” Jones replied with a smile on his face. “I just have to make sure for definite.”
Jones made regular visits to the hospital. Then one day instead of making his visit like he had been for the past week he slept. Neil woke him up and asked him what he was doing. “Get your rest Neil you will need all your energy for tonight”
At 6 PM Jones’ alarm rang with an ear piercing sound. He woke Neil and declared “Its time Neil!” Neil didn’t have a clue what was going on but he got up and dressed. In exactly three minutes both men were waiting in the hall ready to go.
They arrived at the hospital at 7 PM, Jones led Neil into a dark corridor, then he opened a door and went into a red lit room. Jones warned Neil to be quiet then walked over to a table and picked up some photographs. “Disgusting” Jones murmured under his breath. Neil came up behind Jones to look at the pictures. “Bloody Hell Neil! You scared the life out of me”
The photos were of Mary; there was a piece of paper attached to the photo that the doctor had written. ‘Carol, Mary is now dead, I have made it as unsuspicious as I could. She would have pulled through if I hadn’t given her a lethal overdose of drugs, the plan worked perfectly.’ At the end was the name “Benjamin Black” Jones spoke the name as he read.
Next to the photos was an envelope, which was what half the photos were in. The envelope had been written on with the name Carol Baxter…
It was all a plan Jones thought, an evil, sick plan. Jones got the letter, photos and the envelope to the police as fast as he could.
Carol Baxter you have been charged in conjunction with the death of Mary Thomas you will receive 25 years imprisonment. Benjamin Black you have been charged with the death of Mary Thomas you have been sentenced to prison for life!
