Keri Sutton yawned as she sat in the front seat of the unmarked police car. She was watching the front door of a non-descript house in a wealthy neighborhood of Toronto. She was on the case of what had been dubbed 'the Forest Hill's Mystery'. Three young women had mysteriously disappeared over the past month and thus far the police had yet to turn up a single clue. Keri was annoyed, she was discouraged, but mostly she was bored.
She had been parked outside the house for over 14 hours and thus far the highlights of her day had been when the cat had walked along the top of the large brick wall surrounding the home and when the butler had taken out the trash.
Keri looked down the street at the other unmarked car where her partner, Stephanie was seated. She could make her out with her eyes locked on the front door of the multi million dollar home. She would have expected nothing less from the older, no nonsense cop.
Keri was twenty seven and had been a detective for the last three years, and Stephanie had been her partner for almost all of them. Keri was a lovely woman but she was fairly oblivious to it. She had never dated much, despite the attention her five foot eight, slender yet muscular figure attracted. Her natural jet black hair almost had a bluish hue to it when it caught the sun in just the right way and her piercing blue eyes could catch and hold the attention of anyone she chose to engage.
She never had the time for any of that really, between work, and her time at the gym, and life's other obligations. She found time at a premium and despite her mother becoming more and more insistent on the matter over the last few years, finding love was simply not very high on her list of priorities at the moment.
She shook her head a little and refocused, this was not the time to be daydreaming. She took another look at the gate and noticed it was slightly ajar. Had she missed something? Keri turned her head to look in Stephanie's direction, but could not make out her blonde head. It was pretty late and getting dark out, but she should have been able to see her partner in the car a few hundred feet away. She turned her attention to the main gate of the residence and swore.
The main gate leading into the complex was ajar. Keri could swear it had not been opened all evening. She threw another glance back to where her partner should have been and the car still seemed empty. What the hell was going on? She picked up her service revolver and stepped out of the car, trying to angle her head so she could get a better view at the other vehicle where Stephanie should have been. Still empty. Her partner should not have left the vehicle without first notifying her.
She moved closer slowly, her eyes on the main gate as she approached Stephanie's car. Her eyes were looking left and right now, desperately searching for a sign of her partner. She lowered her weapon and ran the last twenty feet to the car, pulling the door open and saw that her assessment had been correct, Stephanie was nowhere to be seen. Keri heard a noise and spun, a stun gasp escaping her mouth as she saw Amy Spencer walking towards her. Amy Spencer was a tall young woman of twenty two with long dark hair down to her mid back, She has a full voluptuous figure with a strong bust and curvaceous hips. She was a local college student and former high school prom queen. Amy Spencer had also been missing for the past month.
Keri rushed forth "Amy, you're safe now, I am detective Sutton with the Toronto police..." The young policewoman sensed something was wrong and saw Amy look up at her with eyes which seemed empty and soulless. Something in those cold eyes made Keri take a step back.
As she stepped back she felt something hit her from behind hard and slam her to the ground. Her fingers opened under the force of the impact with the ground and the gun went spiraling out of her reach. She twisted and shrugged off whatever had hit her as she scrambled for the gun. Her hand was about to grasp it when a sneaker clad foot entered her line of sight and kicked it away, sending it careening across the pavement.
The detective looked up and saw the face of Delores White, just eighteen years old and missing for the last 2 weeks. Delores was a tall athletic african canadian woman with a gorgeous body and long black hair down to her hips. Everyone Keri had interviewed in the wake of her disappearance had sworn that she had the most beautiful smile that never left her face. There was no hint of a smile now as she stood over Keri after kicking the gun away, her dark eyes cool and filled with malice.
The raven haired officer scrambled backwards and up to her feet, backing towards Stephanie's car as she called out for her partner. In front of her Amy slowly approached , to her left Delores stalked her closing in on her. And to her right of course was Marjorie Glenn. The third missing girl was 20 and short, a little chubby but still beautiful in her own way. Her beautiful blonde hair framed her face and fell to her shoulders. Her eyes, which had been sparkling green and full of life in all the pictures Keri had seen of her, were cold calculating and empty. So she was the one who had blindsided her.
Keri caught some movement out of the corner of her left eye and turned her head back to the left She let out a loud sigh of relief as she saw Catherine approaching rapidly from behind her car,, circling it "where the hell were you Cath? I could use some..." her voice trailed off as her sixth sense warned her something was wrong. Catherine did not have her weapon drawn. Indeed her eyes were locked firmly on Keri as she circled the car approaching her in an almost predatory fashion.
Trying to stay cool, Keri broke to her right, judging Marjorie an easier target than the others. She used her shoulder to hit her, and fell back as if she had just run into a brick wall. It was all she could do to keep standing. She suddenly found herself disoriented as the pudgy little blonde grabbed her by both arms. Panic set in as she wondered how this petite girl could be so strong. She felt other hands on her waist and a hand on her shoulder as the other girls moved in. She felt a strong pressure on the back of her neck and everything started to spin, the spin quickly escalating into a spiral as she descended into darkness.
