Become serial: cashier killer strikes again
The chief turned back and entered his office. Despite his experience and his balanced character, this time his heart was pumping faster than ever. He was trying to calm down when the silence was interrupted by the sound of a known melody. He took his phone from the desk, turned with a face to the door and clicked on the green button.

- Hello, Mr.
Mayor - said the chief.
- Hello
chief. Do you have anything interesting for me?
- We have a
list with four suspects, sir.
- You will
have to arrest someone chief, I think I was clear enough yesterday, and you
will have to do it quickly.
- But Mr.
Mayor, it'll be a matter of guesswork. We're police, we have to defend the law
and I don't want us to arrest innocent people. - answered the chief, knowing
that this won't have any effect.
- Listen,
chief. It is 9 o'clock now. You have two hours to identify the one to be
arrested. Then you will act quickly. I expect you to hold a press conference at
noon.
- Mr. Mayor,
I don't think that this is the right approach. - said the chief while making a
sign with his hand to Eric and Linda to wait in front of the door.
- Chief, I
think I was clear. I will wait for your call, because I will have to attend
that press conference. - said the Mayor and ended the call.
The police
chief put his hand over his mouth and closed his eyes. He moved his fingers to
his nose then took a deep breath and opened the door of his office.
