Case 31415: The Great Disembowelment Case

This is one of my original stories

SYLVIA

Captain Sylvia Gonzalez groaned sadly. “Another one gone.”“Pardon the interruption, ma’am. but you’re needed in ‘The Debriefing Room’ immediately” said Officer Logan. “Noted.” deadpanned Sylvia. This is gonna be a really looong day.NYPD agents Nzinga, Sasha, Macy, and Grant and SFPD agents Octaviane, Amber, and Nico sat around the table in “The Debriefing Room”. Captain Gonzalez burst in. “Sorry I’m late.”“No problem.” said Macy.“Yes. We were just notified of this anyway. Now, let’s get this over with.” said Nico.“Okay. Yes. Let’s begin. Officer Willow Valdez is dead due to Beryl Johnston’s actions. We MUST take action against the X-iles and Octavian. Any suggestions?” “E-Z P-Z! We let ourselves get captured, get the scoop, escape, they’ll end up in jail (hopefully on a life sentence), AAAND DONE!! SHAZAM!! BOOM!” ejaculated Grant. “For ONCE that’s a good idea, Grant!” remarked Sylvia. “Ditto. Octavian is my fraternal twin, but ever since he betrayed me...I’d be overjoyed to see him incarcerated.” added Octavianne. “Wow. That’s...deep.” said Nico.“Quite profound.” Nzinga added. In the X-iles main base in New York, Beryl showed her bosses the events that had occurred via videotape from a security camera placed nearby. Willow sped forwards, drawing out her taser, just as Beryl, the gang leader, drew out her dagger and gun. “You really think you can disembowel me like your other victims?” Willow spat. However, inside, she was terrified. What if I get killed on assignment? I can’t leave the rest of my squad hanging!, she thought. Willow’s thoughts were whizzing at such speeds that she didn’t notice the cut on her stomach until she was rammed onto the floor by Beryl’s skinny, yet muscular frame. Willow deadpanned at Beryl, who smirked and sneered, “Hmm. Look who’s gonna get her insides splattered about tonight!” Beryl inhaled deeply, and Willow attempted to get herself unstuck. However, Beryl wouldn’t let her do that. Willow also noticed that while Beryl’s hair was black, she had a streak of cyan in it “Xahaira, give me the steak knife.” Willow looked into Beryl’s magenta eyes “If you’re going to kill me, at least tell me who you work for.”“Fine. We work for Octavian.” Willow’s breath hitched. “You mean the notorious disemboweler, famous for cornering his victims in New York and San Francisco alleys?” “Oh, yes. Now, since we cannot let you foil our plans we shall obliterate you accordingly. Ta ta!” With that, Beryl ripped out the knife from its sheath and used it to slice up Willow’s abdomen until she was dead. Octavian and his cronies, Tyler and Magnus and stood at the other end of the table. “Beryl Harley Johnston, we will retire to deliberate, but we feel that you need to go. You are now on probation. We ordered you not to kill Willow Valdez, but bring her to us. You have disobeyed. One more slip up, and you. Are. Out.” said Octavian icily. “Y-yes, sir” “Good. Now, go” added Tyler curtly. Magnus merely glared daggers at her and hissed loudly.

BERYL

What do I do? Beryl thought. Hmm. Well, Octavian wants the knowledge on how to destroy the NYPD and SFPD, that’s why he made us kill all those cops. But not before getting info. How do I get info from them WITHOUT revealing who I work for AND get rid of them so they can’t squeal on us. Aha! Ohh! This is gonna be FUN! Beryl’s plan was to capture officers, torture them, get the info she wanted, somehow give them amnesia (albeit temporary), and let them go.

SYLVIA

Sylvia and the other officers met in “The Debriefing Room” to figure out who would achieve which parts of Grant’s mastermind plan. Nico was bringing coffee, Sasha brought bagels, and Amber took water. “All right!” yelled Sylvia. “Let’s see what we need for Grant’s plan. Grant, care to elucidate?” “With pleasure,” smiled Grant. “Well, we need people to volunteer to get caught by the X-iles so we can glean some more sensitive information. Any volunteers?” Amber sighed. “Well, I have a really high pain tolerance and I am quite good at persuading people to tell me sensitive information. So, I guess I’ll volunteer.” “I’m going too.” added Macy. “Okay. Now we need people to relay the scoop back here. Anyone for that?” questioned Grant once more. “Well, I’m in to get revenge on my very evil twin, Octavian” said Octavianne. “If ‘Tavianne’s in, then I’m in too. We used to be neighbors, and in college we were roomies.” added Nzinga. “Good. Let’s do this!” said Sylvia.

AMBER

Amber was nervous. Extremely nervous. “Okay, calm down. Breathe. In. Out. In. Out Okay, I’m calm. It’s now or never.” she inhaled and yelled, “YO!” Beryl whipped her head around. Another cop was here and she could capture her. Beryl leered and said, “Oh, hello, dear! Come on over! I really need some help.”

“Not. A. Chance.” snapped Amber. “I am here to arrest you on, oh, THIRTEEN counts of murder by disembowelment.”

“Fine. You’re right, of course. But c'mere so we can talk like civilized people.”

“Hpmh. If you insist.”

BERYL

Beryl's smile enlarged significantly. She drew a small ball filled with laughing gas.

Amber stared at it before she was put into a relaxed state so powerful that she didn’t notice that Beryl took her and threw her into the truck.

AMBER

When Amber’s head cleared and she was functioning properly, she noticed that she seemed to be in a base of sorts.

“I must be in the X-iles base.” she muttered. “If I remember what Octavianne said, then these ‘exiles’ were removed from jobs in justice departments, aka police officers, judges, and other occupations that dealt with the law.”

A young girl stalked in. “Hello. I am here to escort you to your meeting with Spyder.”

Spyder must be Beryl. thought Amber. Let’s do this.

“May I have your name?” she asked.

The girl glowered at her. “Fine. My name is Lisa. Code name: Mona Lisa. And if you’re wondering I’m only twelve. Beryl, my cousin, made me join.”

“That’s no fun.”

“I know. Now, come on.”

Lisa grabbed Amber and yanked her towards a long hall lined with tall, black, doors with silver knockers. Lisa knocked on the door nineteen down from the room Amber was in. “The captured one is here.” Lisa said coldly.

“Good. Bring her over here.” replied a colder voice.

Amber looked back at Lisa, feeling betrayed. However, Lisa’s expression did not show any sympathy whatsoever, while her deep blue eyes screamed I’m sorry.

Beryl turned around in her spinny chair. “Oh, hello, Amber! Lisa, put her on the table.” ordered Beryl. She reached up and grabbed a small, thin, dagger. Beryl then made a thin long cut on Amber’s abdomen, but Amber kept her mouth shut.

“So,” said Amber. “What’s the point of trying to kill all these people?”

“Well,” snapped Beryl. “Octavian wants all people in the justice departments dead since he was caught in a scandal involving disemboweling criminals in prison when he was a cop. While he didn’t plan the events of said scandal, he admitted to being part of it. So, he got a dishonorable discharge from the NYPD, where he originally was, and then something similar happened in the SFPD, where his sister works, he’s been planning revenge ever since.” Then, Beryl made a deeper cut on Amber’s stomach as Amber hissed. The, she added a sprinkle of coarse sea salts. After that, Beryl took Amber and dragged her into another room.

MACY

The next day, Macy hung out in a San Francisco alley, where many of the X-iles murders occurred. Lisa stalked in. “Oh, hi!” she said.

“Hello.” said Macy stiffly.

“Hmm, sassy! I like!”

“Shut up and tell me what I want already.”

“Well, I don't know what you want.”

Macy glared daggers at Lisa. “Oh yes you do.” she snarked. Lisa smirked and threw another ball of gas on the floor.

When Macy woke up, she found herself in a room similar to Amber’s. When Lisa entered, Macy hissed like an irritated cat. “I’m sorry about all this, but Beryl made me do it. Otherwise I’d end up like Willow.”

“Well, you have a point.” Macy replied.

“Yes. Now, I need to take you to Beryl and we’ll see what she’ll do.” Thusly, Lisa clutched Macy’s arm and took her to as room down the hall.

“Here she is, Beryl.” said Lisa, shoving Macy.

Beryl took Macy by her long red hair and shoved her onto a table. Then she removed a steak knife from her table drawer and made several thin, deep cuts all over Macy’s body. Macy hissed but said, “Okay. Why does Octavian want revenge from all the people that have wronged him?”

“Octavian got several long sentences and ever since he broke out of prison and started the X-iles, the policer have been after him. And, one person who put in the statement that he was ‘guilty’ was his sister, Octavianne.”

“Yeesh, that stinks.”

“Yes. ” After that statement, Beryl threw Macy into another room.

When Macy awoke, she snuck out although she was nearly caught, that person luckily thought it was a trick of the light. Once she was out, Macy immediately ran to a coffee shop where she and Nzinga planned to meet. After the information was relayed, the two girls left for New York.

AMBER

Across the country, when Amber came around she slinked out using the ninth-floor window, although it was probably Amber’s dumbest idea ever. Amber ran as fast as she could to a small plaza. She and Octavianne told each other what they learned on the way back.

When everybody met up once more, Sylvia was pleased to state that she got an arrest warrant for Octavian and Beryl. Grant whooped “Yes! Octavian’s going to jail, Octavian’s going to jail!”

“Not jail.” stated Octavianne, “He’d escape. We ought to put him in a mental hospital. Even though I love my brother, he’s done several really evil things. As much as I care about him, we cannot let him be in a situation in which he can escape.” Her voice broke, “He’d want to kill every police officer, especially me.”

“Calm down, you’re strong, Octavianne. You can do this.” said Sasha.

“Okay. But let’s go now.”

All of the police officers snuck in small groups towards the X-iles main base, in New York. Octaviane clutched the warrants so hard that her fingers were starting to go numb. Nzinga held the handcuffs, and everyone else had their weapons at the ready.

“Octavian, open up! We know you’re in there!” yelled Nico.

“We’re armed and unafraid to use our weapons!” shrieked Macy.

The large metal doors opens suspensefully. Everyone was now on high alert.

Amber said, “Come on, this way.”

She led them down a long dark hallway. At the end, a door stood menacingly. Sylvia walked up and opened it. Inside, Octavian and Beryl were in a heated debate. To seize their attention, Nico yelled “YO!” She was so loud everybody slammed their hands over their ears.

“Dang, that is loud!” muttered Grant.

“Put your hands where we can see ‘em!”

Octavian and Beryl raised their hands. Nzinga and Octavianne snapped handcuffs onto their wrists. “Now that that’s been cleared up, You’re both under arrest for thirteen counts of murder.” said Nzinga

“Oh, FYI! We killed Lisa after we found out that she helped you.” said Octavian.

“Fine. Make that fourteen counts of murder.”

“I’m sorry, Octavian, but what you did was unacceptable. Good-bye.” said Octaviane. After that, the two were taken away but every year, no matter what, Octaviane would visit her twin on their birthday.

THE END
