The fiery depths beckoned with heat and spices sure to make one froth at the mouth, iron casings surrounding the flame as haunches of meat were thrown amidst the pyrotides. Men and women scurrying about wearing what looked like uniforms from an elite cult. It was like you'd entered another dimension, everyone set on fulfilling their goal and making the consumer burst with glee and their tongue sizzle with flavor and spice; this, this is what would be expected in Theodor Karnige domain. Theodor Karnige is a world renowned chef in good ole' London town.His chains of restaurants across Europe, The Tikis, are always a safe haven for extravagant food.
Detective Chief Inspector Montgomery wiped his mouth with his napkin and lay back in his chair, stretched his legs out and sighed luxuriously; he loved this place with its cozy atmosphere and muted chatter. It wasn't only a place to eat but a place for him to mull things over without the raucous interruptions that made up his daily life. He reluctantly back to case in hand. Yet another young girl had gone missing on his patch of London and that brought the total of missing girl that he was aware of to 24.The press, the public and the powers that be were baying for blood, he was being held responsible for the inability of the police to capture the monster that was perpetrating this series of crimes.
As the chef came out to admire his masterpieces being scoffed and shoved down the customers trachea's he caught a glimpse of the Inspector and went over to greet his old friend. "Why hello there my good sir" "Good day, may I say the roast chicken was especially divine today, so plump and mouth watering" "Ahhh why thank you, it's always good to get recognition from ones peers" Well I better get going, got a plateful to deal with at work, and trust me its not succulent chicken either" "Would you like to talk about John? " "I shouldn't really, just more missing girls....
""Well I better not keep you any longer, good bye, see you tomorrow" "Indeed, yes, good bye" As the Inspector leaves, Theodor scurries back to his kitchen to prepare the next batch of goodness. "SIR! " screamed DI Cartwright "What is it Cartwright!? " he asked startled "Sir I think we may have found a home location for Joanna, the girl whose decrepit body we fished from the sewers" "Well get right on it! "They arrive at the house, by this time its dark, a mist has set so it was hard to see. They made it into the house. It was dark. It was cold.
It felt as if all the love and laughter out of the world had been sucked up a vortex of hate. They covered the entire house. With only a flash light for lighting, there was dripping from the ceiling and the overall smell of the house was nauseating. You could hear the rats scurrying around the house.
In the kitchen there infested food in the fridge and cockroaches in the cupboards. We searched her bedroom, there was nothing there. We concluded later that she must have gone to work that morning.Our next board of investigation is to find out where she worked, when and when she left, so we can attempt on determining a time of death. As we rode back to the station, I couldn't stop thinking about the mind se this person must be in, how another human being could cause such devastation.
What gave this person a motive to fulfill such a gruesome act of terror? I wouldn't what their childhood must have been like, how could anyone grow up with so much hatred? Is it even possible....
? "Detective Chief Inspector? " "Yes Cartwright? " "We found something at her house that may be of crucial evidence to where she works" And what would that be? ""Well we found a business card in the living room for that restaurant down Ox Street, The-" "Tiki, the Tiki" "Yes that's the one; shall I get a squad out there? " "No, I will go myself" Floods of thought gushed trough my troubled mind, the fear of walking into the restaurant and seeing the gushing blood, the decapitated bodies, never in all my life would I have suspected Theodor but now I have no choice, here is the final frontier. I arrived at the restaurant, sweating, anxious to what id find, as I walk briskly into the restaurant I stiffened my shoulders and took a deep breathe.I walked through the deserted restaurant to the kitchen, where I encountered head chef Theodor Karnige; he stood there like a king within his stainless steel palace. I could barely bring myself to look at him, my mind now strangely clear. "Theo, I said briskly. " Show me round your kitchen, in all this time of my eating here I've have never seen the place where the magic takes place" I managed to force a smile at him.
"Indeed, I would be delighted" "Very well" I said, a slight tremor in Theodor's hands make me even more convinced he was hiding something of great importance to the case.He showed me around his very expensive and totally pristine kitchen; he showed me his wine cellars, all the fridges where he kept vegetables etc. However he merely waved his hand toward his walk in freezer. "That's where I err keep the meat-yes that's it, the meat" a cold dead look arose in his eyes, almost like a sharks. "I've never been in a walk in freezer, mind if I check it out? " "There's not much to se in there I assure you, but if you insist then by all means" the tremor in Theodor's hands grew and grew until they were practically shaking. As I walked into the freezer I unbutton the top of my holster and turned the safety off.
Once I walked into the freezer I saw animal strung up and split, but in between these animals I saw weird shapes wrapped in muslin, a feeling in my gut told me I knew what was in there. I turned slowly to face Theo, my heart racing in my chest, I was stricken to find a gun in his hand, cocked and aimed straight at my heart. I was unware and so was Theo that I had been followed here by DS Simpkins, I was so relieved to see him, my heart still pounding. Just as Theodor was about to shoot Simpkins pulled out his weapon and shot him in the back twice.
