Robin looked down at the chalk outline on the street where the dead woman had lain. The forensic team had cleared up all the evidence that could be found, but Kyle was talking to one of his friends to see if they would tell him anything. Robin knew there was a chance that there were officers keeping tabs on the place, so she had to be careful. Luckily, the lamplight was out, and the street was dark.

“What? An accident?” the child asked.

“Yes, she almost got hit by a car,” Robin whispered. “I was so scared.”

“I have never seen a car,” the child said.

“I will show you one when we get out of here,” Robin whispered.

“Tell me the story!” the child said.

“Only if you promise to be good,” Robin said. She found that the child acted better when she bribed him with stories, especially if she used the moral to teach him a lesson. He had been so kind recently, and Robin was hopeful that she could change him. Perhaps she could help him fight the trauma he had suffered and become someone good with love and care.

“Well, we headed out to a small shop,” Robin said. “A candy shop. It had the best candy we had ever tasted. We saved up whatever money we could for a month, and I took her there to treat her for doing well in school.”

“Candy,” the child said. “I want that candy.”

“The store is still there,” Robin said. “I will take you. It was so important to the two of us. It was our favorite place. Dad used to take me there all the time.”

The memory flashed before Robin’s eyes as she remembered telling the child this story. At that time, she thought it was harmless, but she didn’t know that she was handing him weapons.

She turned to the store, which was closed for the night, and slowly picked the lock. Within seconds, she was in. She had a feeling she knew where she would find the message, and it was there. A small note stuck to one of the candy containers. The one she had told him was her favorite. She picked up the note, but before she could glance at it, she heard a shout.

“Hey, you!”

Crap! She had been spotted. As the officer ran after her, she shattered one of the glass windows and jumped out, running down the street.

“I have spotted the Executioner,” Robin heard the officer shouting into his walkie-talkie. “Send back up! Grimoire Street!”

Robin ran as fast as she could; the officer was close behind her. She waltzed over the fence, her legs trembling under her as she landed. She heard the sirens in the distance, and she knew she didn’t have long. If the police caught her, it would all be for naught.

“Stop!” she heard the officer shout. “Just give up, Matthews!”

She recognized the voice as Detective Gary Dane’s, and she sped up. If he managed to catch up to her, she would stand little chance. He would overpower her easily.
