ERIC BANE, A TEN-YEAR veteran of the Bangor Police Department, sat on a piece of driftwood at Cascade Park. With his modest six foot one and one hundred and six five pounds, he took a sip of grape soda reflecting his approach to the newest murder scene. Hmm, this case is a classic ‘who done it’ type of murder. I do believe the evidence will need to speak for the victims, he pondered. He gave off a big BURP! walking up to his classic 1969 Dodge Charger with its beautiful candy apple metallic silver color. As he got in the driver’s seat, his cell phone rang. He looked at the date on his watch as he answered the phone; it was May 15, 2001.
“Detective Eric Bane, how can I help you?”
“You’d better get your ass down the crime scene before I pull out a can of whop ass on you.”
“OK chief, you don’t need to be an asshole about it.”
Eric hanged up his cell phone then turned the car over. He loved to hear it purr as he peeled out of his private spot to reflect and recharge for any new case. The chief texted him the address for the new crime scene. This case is totally new, I’m going to take a different approach than any of my other cases while on the force, he pondered and reflected as he pulled up to 8416 Haven Street. The crime scene itself appeared to be in a very low crime area of Bangor. Eric walked up, showed his shield then walked into a very gruesome sight. He directed everyone out for a few moments to allow him to study then make up his own opinion on the case.
The smell of dried blood gave him a strong desire to throw up in his mouth. Eric pulled out a small flashlight to study each body. The first body was a female around fifty years old and a bit on the chubby side. Her mouth was gaping open with a look of extreme terror. Eric removed the sheet to better view the body. Right away, he noticed evidence of a sexual assault. Dried blood had seeped from the anal and vaginal area of her body prior to expiring. There were no stab wounds. There was a single gunshot wound to the right side of her temple. He looked for stab wounds or any other defensive wounds and none were found. The female looked to be around a plump two hundred and ninety pounds. Her long black hair, which looked like it hadn’t been combed in a week was caked in blood. Her eyes looked like two lumps of coal, which matched her black hair. The scent of stale sex gave him another reason to lose his appetite. Eric put the sheet back over the body as a show of the respect for the dead. He noticed her purse on the floor on the left side of the bed. Eric quickly put on rubber gloves then pulled out her wallet. Casey Williams born February 5, 1951.
He then looked on the other side of the bed only to find what appeared to be the husband. His head shaved bald with a very bushy goatee didn’t have many defensive wounds. As with the prior victim, there was only a gunshot wound to the temple on his right side. He looked to be a very slender man of around one hundred and twenty-five pounds. The male victim’s eyes were as blue as the ocean on the eve of a morning tide. Eric looked down then noticed his penis had been severed then placed by his head. He also noticed that the male had defecated prior to his death. Lying on the nightstand, Eric found his wallet then quickly pulled out his driver’s license. Matt Williams, born August 16, 1951. Something told him to look in the living room. The floor creaked as he made his way then noticed a young twenty-year-old female. The young female looked like she had seen a ghost. Her mouth gaped open with dried semen caked on her lips. She noticed the young woman’s long black hair caked in her own blood. Just like the first female victims there was caked blood on both the anal and vaginal parts of this young woman’s body. She looked to be no more than five feet two in height. Hmm… the CSI team already had samples of all the evidence but no murder weapon. There are no signs of forced entry into the house, which means the assailant was known to the Casey family. There are three victims, which classifies this as a serial killer. It’s time to use my special gift that no one knows I have, Eric thought as he rubbed his chin in deep thought. He also noticed a mask of a vampire with a sinister smile lying by the young woman’s body.
After taking a cleansing breath, Eric walked back to the first victim then grasped her hand. Little did anyone know that he could view memories of the victim. He subtly closed his eyes to see what she saw prior to death.
A FREAKISH MOMENT LATER, Eric found himself in the bedroom. He quickly found cover with the neighboring curtain to avoid detection. Right away, he noticed Casey kissing her husband Matt then turning off the light to go to sleep. Matt did the same then curled up close to his wife. Moments, later small subtle steps came from the distance. Two females came into the room silently. The first woman looked to be a beefy six foot two and around one hundred and sixty pounds. Her eyes, brown and dark coldly stared at Casey. Eric noticed that she took off her clothes exposing her bodacious breasts. He looked down then his mouth gaped open in surprise. This woman had both genitals. She had a penis as big as a horse. There was also a vaginal area. A hermaphrodite for a serial killer, what the hell! Eric said to himself.
Then suddenly the vision ended leaving him sitting in a chair. He heard a knock on the door. The coroner’s office had arrived to take all the bodies for autopsy. He quickly left the murder scene then walked back to his car. The coroner’s office swiftly removed the bodies as Eric watched from a distance. Just as he was about to get into his car, he noticed a very goth looking woman wearing a shield on her belt walking to up him. He noticed right away she looked to be no more than four foot eleven with blond hair bound tightly in a pony tail in the back of her head. Her eyes were as green as spring meadow on a subtle Bangor Maine morning.
“Detective Eric Bane, how are you?”
“Who in the hell are you? I haven’t seen you at the office at all.”
“That’s because I was just transferred from Miami Florida to your department. My name is Allie Phillips, also a detective.”
“That still doesn’t explain why you’re here?”
“Chief Harry Montel assigned me to this case along with you. I’ve viewed the evidence that’s been emailed to me. What did you figure out while you were at the Williams Family crime scene?”
“This really pisses me off. Harry knows that I like to work alone. It’s where I do my best work.”
“The chief told me you would act this way. So tough shit, you and I have now become partners going forward.”
“I’ve classified this a serial murder. Once they kill three that takes the classification up to serial. My gut tells me it’s also a sex crime. How about you?”
“The coroner’s office emailed my cell. It appears preliminary results show sexual fluids of both female and male. It’s his opinion that they may have two killers?”
“Wanna go to Ed’s Burgers for a bite to eat?”
“Are you hitting on me, sir? If you feed me, do you expect more from me?”
“Don’t be silly, it’s just my way of getting to know you.”
“I wouldn’t have a problem if you were. I don’t have a car. Can we take yours to the Ed’s?”
“Sure jump in. I’ll drive us there.”
Allie got in the passenger side then put her seatbelt on. Eric got in then turned the car over. A smile came over his face. He liked the hear his car purr like a satisfied kitten after drinking its milk. He peeled rubber then they headed to Ed’s Burgers. As he drove, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Allie staring at his crotch. He also noticed her nipples becoming erect as she continued to stare. I wonder if he has a horse sized cock? Allie asked herself as she felt moist in her jeans. Twenty minutes later they made it to the restaurant. Allie watched him park then get out of the car to open the door for her. As he walked toward the building, she was staring at his butt. They were able to get a table right away. Both of them ordered a cheeseburger deluxe with grape soda, which seemed to be Eric’s favorite meal. She smiled as the waitress brought them their meal. Eric had a slight smile on his face. Allie wasted no time in taking a hulking side bite of her burger. He smiled then did the same.
“I’ve also read in the report that the killers left a mask of a vampire, which seems to be his or her signature.”
“I’ve noticed that too. With the semen found the dirtbag sexually assaulted the young female, which pisses me off a lot.”
“I totally get it and understand. The shot to the temple of each victim also appears they have a signature developing here.”
“I would agree. What’s the next step in the case?”
“The only problem that I have is developing a profile. I don’t know if the killer is male or female. Yet the fluids show both. It’s means that the case is a little complicated.”
“Allie, we need to be transparent here. I have a gift that I want to show you to see what I’ve discovered. You need to keep this private and confidential if I do it.”
“Then show me your gift. I admit, you have me a bit intrigued.
He reached over to grab her hand then closed his eyes. They both appeared in the room where Eric had the vision. He quickly found cover with the neighboring curtain to avoid detection. Right away, he noticed Casey kissing her husband Matt then turning off the light to go to sleep. Matt did the same then curled up close to his wife. Moments, later small subtle steps came of the distance. Two females came into the room silently. The first woman looked to be a beefy six foot two and around one hundred and sixty pounds. Her eyes, brown and dark coldly stared at Casey. Eric noticed that she took off her clothes exposing her bodacious breasts. He looked down then his mouth gaped open in surprise. This woman had both genitals. She had a penis as big as a horse. There was also a vaginal area. A hermaphrodite for a serial killer, what the hell! Eric said to himself. Then suddenly the vision ended leaving him sitting in a chair. He heard a knock on the door. Eric then opened his eyes to find Allie with her mouth gaping open showing an awe-struck expression on her face.
“This is some mind-blowing shit. You’ve discovered our main killer is a hermaphrodite. Listen I also have a secret to show you also. You must keep my secret in strict confidence.”
“What’s your secret Allie?”
“I don’t want to tell you. I want to show you. Let’s finish up our burgers then drive back to Cascade Park. I need to be in the water to show you. Are you game, Eric?”
He raised his eyes in wonderment. They quickly finished their burgers. Eric used his debit card to pay for their meal. In haste, they both got in his car then quickly drove to Cascade Park. Thirty minutes later they made it to his favorite spot then he parked the car. They both got out then stared at each other.
“Are you ready to see my secret?”
“Yeah, please show me.”
Allie smiled then she shed her shirt and bra exposing her big bodacious breasts. She then took her jeans and panties off then bent over toward Eric. He instantly popped a big boner, which made her smile. She briskly walked toward then end of the dock with him following right behind her. Allie ran then jumped into the air heading toward the water. Right before she hit the water, her legs vanished then a long fin appeared as she hit the water. She went underwater then came back up. Eric noticed right away, her eyes changed into a golden color and that she had gills on each side of her neck. She swam up to the dock to strike up a conversation with him.
“Wow, that is also some mind-blowing shit! You’re a mermaid!”
“You’re a familiar. A person that can see with the eyes of a murder victim. That’s also very cool. Please keep this a secret.”
“Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.”
She jumped high in the air then back on the dock. Right before landing her legs reappeared then she was standing there naked right in front of him. Allie smiled as she noticed the raging bulge in his jeans.
“I can help you out with that if you like. Also, I don’t have a place to stay. Can I stay with you until I find myself an apartment or house to rent?”
“Sure, if you don’t have a problem with a bachelor pad.”
They walked back then she found her clothes then got dressed again. In the back of his mind, he was thinking Allie could prove to be a solid asset and also help him with such a bizarre case. Eric and Allie made it to the car then he noticed that she also had something else to disclose to him. They both leaned on the Charger. Eric, being the gentlemen that he is, pulled out two ice cold cans of grape soda then handed her one.
“You’re reading my mind. My throat is parched and could use something wet to help me.”
“I’m also realizing that you have something else to disclose to me, don’t you? Also, you’re welcome roomie.”
“Eric, you’re right, I do have something to tell you but again, what I’m about to tell you is a secret and must never to be disclosed that it exists. The same would apply to me being a mermaid. This guy that I’m about to tell you about has been fighting crime here in Bangor Maine as long as it’s been in existence.”
