Bloody Barbies

 The corpses sitting at the morgue made more noise than either of us, we just stared each other down as the silence wore on. The radio on my desk had been turned off since the start of this “interview” if you could even call it that. I figured neither of us would appreciate being interrupted while talking. To be honest, I’m pretty sure we both hated the damn thing, but I kept it out of courtesy. It’s not every day you get a fifty-dollar radio for your first successful case. The woman in front of me, who was unrelentingly trying to bore a hole into my head, was Maria De Vega, one of the PD’s suspects for a recent string of murder’s going around near the red-light districts. Maria was a mechanic who worked at Ross and, allegedly, a well-known vagrant in her area. At first glance, you’d think that’d be the case. She had dark skin, with curly hair that was a

 At 3 pm, Nick and I together with a convoy of police officers picked Maria on her work. I talked to Ross, her boss that we need to investigate the killings in the area. And Maria was the too suspect. Ross was not happy about it obviously. We got into the vehicle with Maria and drive on the way to the office. We got into the office and went into the Interrogation room as usual, and get into the interview. As Usual, Maria knows who the victim was. "He was a friend of mine back in high school. I came across him the other day and we catch up with our lives for a while then we headed on our way". Her eyes darted towards me and with a serious tone she said; " But I didn't kill him". "But all the other victims were related to you, and yo

  As soon as I entered my apartment, I was greeted by my black cat, Luna. I immediately picked her up and gave her a big kiss. I sat down for a while and rested. I took a hot bath and changed my clothes. Finally, home where I can relax and be myself. "Having a relaxing time isn't that bad right Luna?"  Luna just looked at me with her big round eyes and her fluffy face. I gave her a bowl of cat foo which she certainly enjoys. Of course, I prepared a meal for myself, meaning I ordered a box of pizza through the phone. I waited for my dinner while I do some light chores around the house. As I'm about to relax on the couch, the phone rang. *phone rings voice message began* "Hi, Jane! hope you doing okay! Just checking on yeah see you after your leave!" *end of voice message* "Oh, it's Nick good to hear from him after

 I studied the piece of evidence. There's nothing new about it. It's the same as the other bloody dolls found in the crime scene in the past. I sighed in disappointment. Before the clean-up crew put away the corpse I took a few pictures of the body uncovered. The stench of blood overpowers the smell of tobacco in the room. I put on a mask so I don't have to inhale the atrocious smell of blood and tobacco. Like all the other victims, they died eyes open. But this one, thick greenish substance running down from his eyes and mouth. He looked horrid I would say. Veins popping out all over his body in a weird manner. This is the most horrifying sight I'd ever encounter in this case. My stomach turned I felt vomit forming through my throat. I ran into the nearest corner and vomited my guts out.Nick quickly approached me as soon as he realized what's going on.

 As I study the photos from the last night's crime, noticed something familiar. I zoomed in into the corpse's forearm that has a tattoo. But half of it was covered. Then I realized, it was the same as the one Nick printed out. So I side by side the two images, and it was confirmed. I asked Nick to come over to my desk to look at my discovery.  "Is it possible that the victims were members of the occult?" He gasped "It is possible, but why would they kill their member?" I gather up the evidence "Let's go to the morgue and check if the other victims have the same tattoo."  We Rushed into the city morgue and examine the corpses one by one. The smell of the embalmed dead bodies makes my stomach turned, the smell of the chemical mixed with the slowly rotting, cold bodies makes it worse. We gathered all of the bodies
