Jude remembered the day he arrested him with his arms crossed. They found the corpses in the basement, but Alvin already predicted the police. When and where he escaped- was the point, and when all the police were looking for his possible hideouts, Jude took his gun with his partner and went to a place where he predicted the crime will happen. In that place, Jude was able to stop the last victim to come out. Alvin Johns was chocking one woman’s neck. A blond young man had a faint smile and put his two hands up.
“That is because.... Before, I read somewhere. Psychopaths don’t stop their crime just because police suspect them. That’s why I went there.”
“But usually people don’t think he would calmly walk around to kill another person when he already got revealed? Then how were you certain that much?”
“Hey hey, I wasn’t certain. I just went thinking maybe he might be there. If I was certain, I probably took whole bunch of police with me.”
“Your eyes weren’t shaking when you saw me. There was no hesitance or fear.”
“That’s because I’m a detective? Do you think I pointed a gun at a criminal once or twice? And in this poor environment?”
“Do you want to know the truth? That time, if you and your partner had single strand of fear in your eyes, I probably would tried to kill you guys. One stab can easily kill a person. If I needed a shield, I could’ve used the woman in front.”
Jude sighed again. Do I have to talk to this guy who says this kind of thing like a textbook for several hours? With this small salary? Why would I?
“But there was nothing in your eyes. You were very composed. ‘I have to catch this guy.’ It was only that. Like watching a today’s TV show like ‘I will watch this today.’ There was nothing else. No anger or fear. That moment I thought I have to get captured.”
“Ah, okay. Thanks.”
