-garry stepped into the sergeant"s office , the sergeant asked him to sit down and quickly came to the point, it was terrible in this age in a country like america someone was offering human lives to appease gods , there was a pressure from the media and the higher ups on them to find the killer but somehow he was not found
-garry listened attentively before speaking that though the sergeant was absolutely right but there were still many religious extremists and fools amongst american citizens , in ancient times african tribes practiced human sacrifice but education and awareness settled the mud and their advancement is equal to the west but secret societies are still said to be in existence that offer human life to their gods
-the sheriff said he was sure the sergeant had nothing to tell , all his previous opinions were heard and stale and wrong and useless,
-the sergeant explained he was working on it and though nothing new had come up to pin point the killer but who ever it was was horrible to live in this modern era with a primitive mind to be sacrificing human lives at the altar to please his hungry gods
-the sergeant knew why was he there in the sheriff"s office and why was he being stared so but he kept silent waiting for the sheriff to speak the opening line, soon enough breaking the silence in his office the sheriff said what was this happening, the media was condemning the police force , there was a wave of fear infectiously spreading in town
-the moment sergeant entered the sheriff"s office the sheriff asked him to take a chair and picking up his intercom instructed his assistant to allow nobody into his office and not to disturb them and make all others wait for their turn, then turned his full attention to the sergeant and instead of speaking he scanned him as if scanning him through x ray vison was most necessary
-they sat facing each other , it was nine at night, discussing the case they were involved in, he asked callagan how did he solve it, callagan said it was simple the word taxi gave him the clue, the police has strictly given orders not to show any light or lighted word during the black out but when the victim sat down in the taxi the word was displayed before it disappeared into the dark
-around eight callagan turned his car towards st john to stop it in the deadly silence and pitch dark, speaking to mrs bruce he pointed to the house in the front with white roof which was perfectly suitable for spies and detectives in that surroundings, getting out of the car she clutched callagan"s arm in a strong grip , she was scared and trembled , asking him not to speak like that , callagan moved forward in the dark hitting his foot stumbling on stones and crashing hedges around knocking down trees and plants
-
-she had threatened to go to the police and tell them all but he coldly spoke to her it would not be good for her , even if she tried taking a step towards her plan he also will be forced to stop her
-callagan folded the paper and put it in his coat pocket, what did the message mean she explained it meant suicide as she began weeping, in the morning when she emerged from her house she was sure he was following her and kill himself
