Letters

The car ride was stifling, Sebastian could feel the uneasiness of his new fellow partner. It has been almost a full year since the... Incident at Beacon Mental Hospital. Since then, the precinct tried to give Sebastian a new partner to replace Joseph. But every new partner begged to be switched with someone else after the first week of working with Sebastian. Right now, the poor cop who was chosen to follow around Sebastian is named Rylie Lu- Something- Something- Something. Sebastian almost felt bad for him, but Rylie did say that he could handle Sebastian. The others in the precinct have already started bets on how long until Rylie starts begging to be with another partner, and it has only been three days.
"Sooo... What did Mrs. Smith tell you about the crime scene? She only told me I'm going to need a bag for my puke." Rylie asks, trying to break the choking silence. Without taking his eyes off the road, Sebastian speaks.
"She told me that the crime scene might have been created by the same jackass who killed Joseph. Other than that, nothing." Sebastian's voice is flat, careless of his closeness to the case. Rylie looks over in confusion, slightly surprised by that.
"How would they know that jack-"
Sebastian interruptes quickly. "Brains were found, dissected and stabbed into perfectly. Tons of professional made papers were strewn about and a person matching that jackass's profile was seen in the area alot. At least, that's what I've heard. Now shut up, we don't have anything to talk about."
Rylie, who's mouth was still open, closes his mouth. He does not want to say anything more, as Sebastian obviously doesn't want to speak. For the rest of the ten minutes, the car ride is silent.

"So the crime scene is in that warehouse?" Sebastian asked the cop who was standing outside. The cop nods and opens his mouth to speak, but Sebastian knows exactly what he's going to say and shoves his badge into the other cop's face. Without another word, Sebastian lifts up the police tape and goes under. Rylie following in suit as fast as he can.
The second Sebastian is inside, his nose wrinkles up from the scent of blood. Looking around he could see three bodies, two males and one female, propped up in chairs. They were obviously dead, due to they were slumped and the only thing holding them up was rope. All three of them had rags stuffed deep into their throats, most likely to muffle their screaming. Around the bodies was blood, both dried and fresh. Their skulls looked like someone had to bash their heads open with a hard object. Which a rock with a pointed and very bloody end lay not far away on a table along with other bloody tools.
The second Rylie sees the horrific scene, he turns away and pukes. Turning back to Sebastian, Rylie notices the emotionless face Sebastian wears. "How can you not be puking?!" He nearly screams, startling a few other detectives standing close by. Sebastian doesn't answer, he just walks closer to table with all the supplies on it.
The items other than the rock are a needle from a syringe, a dull knife and a pair of scissors. Sitting in the ground next to the take is a jar with a green substance in it. As if on instinct, Sebastian picks up the jar. Then he notices a paper hidden underneath where the jar was placed.
Picking up the paper slip, Sebastian notices its folded two times. Looking over at Rylie, he's pleased to see him preoccupied. Looking back at the paper, he quickly unfolds it and looks inside. Writen on the paper are the following words;
Dear Seb
If you are reading this, then my little hide out has been compromised. That or you found me without help from your superiors. Either way, you know by now that I am still alive and now control Leslie, as I expected you would. You are not as dumb as others might think. But it appears both you and Mobius have been failing to catch me. Shame, I thought you would be smart enough to find out by now. Maybe I could give you a hint, but that would be too easy right? Well, I'll just say that where I am now is very bright, especially when it is dark. Now let's find out how dumb you are. Oh, and yes I did you know would pick up the jar, since you seem to be attracted to green gel. You do know that isn't normal right?

Sebastian glares at the paper, only to crumple it up and show it in his pocket. He didn't get that god damn riddle at all. Turning to Rylie, he whistles to get his attention. "Hey, you uh Rylie." Rylie turns around, kinda surprised Sebastian talked first. "Got a riddle for ya. What's a place that's very bright, especially when it's dark?"
Rylie thinks for a second, his left hand starting the back of his neck. After a minute, his eyes grow wide with a smile on his face. "A light house, the light gets turned on during night time so ships don't crash. Well at least in the olden times." Rylie looks very proud of himself for that, making Sebastian smile.
"Good Rylie, now come on. I know where the jackass is right now. I bet he's unarmed too."
