Within the next half an hour, Jess and I had been back to the station, assembled a team and were out searching. I wasn’t getting any useful information; however, we had decided to search all abandoned buildings, cabins and local places which were deserted. Having found one victim in an abandoned cabin, it seemed like a good idea to search in the same type of place.

‘Are you getting anything?’ Jess asked as we drove down another dirt track.

‘No,’ I said, shaking my head. ‘I’m sorry.’

‘It’s not your fault. You can’t control when and where it happens.’

‘I wish I could in many ways.’

She sighed.

‘Do you know what I don’t get, Jess?’

‘What’s that?’ she questioned.

‘It’s the why in this case. I don’t understand his motives and his reasons for doing this. Yes, I understand the idea that maybe he is supressing his sexuality and all that but I just think…’

‘What, Alex?’

‘I just think there might be more to it than that.’

‘What makes you think that?’ she wondered.

‘Because I get a sort of ‘complex’ feeling towards the killer. I feel like he’s angry and he takes that out on the gay men he victimises but I also feel like there’s hate lying elsewhere too…’

‘Like where?’

‘I don’t know. If I did, I think I’d be able to solve this easier.’

‘Hmm…well, maybe if we have any luck finding anything today, it might give us more clues.’

‘I hope so. I just want this figured out so it can be put behind us. It sickens me more and more by the way,’ I said, holding my stomach.

‘You feel sick again?’ she questioned.

I nodded, ‘Yeah…’

‘That’s interesting.’

‘Oh yes? Why’s that?’

‘Because before you’ve been getting sick feelings when we’re near a body part. Perhaps we’re near somewhere important,’ she suggested, inching down the dirt track road slowly. The snow and ice made it treacherous and progress was slow.

I frowned to myself, thinking. I did feel sick and she was right. I had been feeling sick when there was a damn, good reason to.

I began concentrating on where we were and looked around as she drove. I paid attention to my mind and concentrated a little more.

‘Alex?’

‘Can you just be quiet for a minute? I think you’re right about the sickness…maybe there’s something here…?’

Jess fell blessedly quiet and I listened. I could hear something but I couldn’t decipher what it was.

Jess drove further and the road suddenly opened to a clearing where an old derelict barn building stood. I stared at it, feeling like it was familiar in some way. I knew that I had never been to the building before but that didn’t mean that someone in my mind hadn’t.

‘I feel…’ I trailed off.

‘What, Alex?’ Jess asked softly.

‘I don’t know, Jess. I feel like…like I know this place. That sounds crazy though because I haven’t been here before. I know I haven’t. Maybe I’m seeing something familiar though because it’s been put in my mind as significant?’

‘Perhaps,’ she nodded. ‘Shall we go and take a look around?’ she asked.

‘I know this sounds crazy, but I don’t want to.
