On a rainy night, Jordan has just arrived late at night to her small apartment, she was at an office party celebrating a startup company in New York. She locks the door behind her as she undresses on her for a quick shower before she goes to sleep.

Two days later, a man in his 40's enters a bar in a small town out side Las Vegas

" Damn its hot out side, don’t you guys have rain or some thing "

The bar was empty except for the bar tender who is doing inventory and a man at the bar, the man looked like he was passed out from the day before

" hey Grant, get the fuck up, happy hour is over man "

Grant opened his eyes looking at his once old friend agent Anderson and goes back to sleep

" you look like shit Grant, get up I have some thing for you "

Grant wakes up and pulls out a cigarette from his shirt pocket

" I thought you quit "

" yeah, but I just found a light " Grant replies

" I need a favor man "

" look, I'm out of the bureau, either you’re here to wish happy birthday or get out "

" Grant, he is out "

" Redden ? "

" he got out in some technicality, and now he lives in New York "

Anderson pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a gold lighter from his pocket

" we think he killed some one and now we can't find him "

Anderson handed a closed file to Grant

" Grant, you’re the only one who knows him very will to find him, you know how he thinks "
Grant stairs at the closed folder

" Anderson, you're always by the book kind of guy, you know if I find him "

He pauses for a moment

" I'm not going arrest him "

" Grant, you’re my friend, and seeing you like this is just isn’t right, I hope you will find peace when you face him eye to eye, and perhaps move on with your life "

Anderson gets up and leaves a cell phone on the bar next to Grant

" there is a private air field about half a mile from here, meet me there in three hours "

And walks out

Grant pulled out his wallet and in it was a picture of his wife, he stared at the picture trying to remember her

" its been ten years Lorilay, ten years that’s all the scum bag got and now he is out from some shitty reason "

Grant never cried after his wife was killed on the hands of a serial killer, and even after he captured him

Its like he died the day he came home and found her dead, no more he thought to him self, he will not get away this time he repeated in his mind

" this time the scum bag is gonna die "

He finishes his cigarette and quickly puts his wallet back in his pocket, he opens the folder and pulls out a picture of his latest

He quickly jumps out of his seat and takes the cell phone

" hey Grant where the hell your going, you promised to help " the Bar tender shouted

" ill be back in an hour, just need to see an old body of mine " as he ran off from the door

The Partner

http://supremewriters.awardspace.com

Grant walks around the hidden facility, with only a few agents walking around with each doing his work

" I don’t see a lot of people working here Anderson, where is every body ? "

" will Grant, what you see is every body "

Grant turns around and faces Anderson, blowing smoke in the air

" what do you think I'm stupid, an FBI facility that has all this high tech stuff "

Anderson interrupts by laughing out loud, he puts his hand on Grants shoulder

" listen Grant, you can do this by the book and just let the guy walk or you can hunt the worthless peace of shit down and do us all a favor "

Grants deeply inhale his cigarette and look in Andersons eyes, he knew that his old friend is up to some thing, but the rage, the memories, Redden

Driven by revenge, Grant just couldn’t let an opportunity like this slip away he decides to play along since he has nothing else to lose

" so " Grants walks around the facility checking all the high tech gear around " how things works around here " he looks back at Anderson waiting for a response

" in order to get speed and efficiency at we thought it best to have the minimum personnel for your team, it helps pin point leaks and rumors and we cant afford that right "

A beautiful tall red hair agent approaches the two men

" sir " as she hands a file to Anderson " it seems Redden made a few interesting friends in prison should we go check it out "

Grants eyes widened when she said we

" hold on there, you didn’t say any thing about a partner "

Anderson handed the file back to the agent after taking a quick look " sorry about that but these are the rules, if you want this job "

She turns to Grant and gently speaks to him " hi my name is Crystal Dunham, you will meet every body else later, now we have to hurry before local police gets to them "

Grants had an angry look on his face, he never worked with a partner, even when he teamed up with Anderson years ago Anderson never interfered with Grants work but he was always there to pull Grant out of trouble

" ill drive " Grants says as he walks to the elevator

" is he always like that sir " the young agent questions Anderson

" will no, it’s the first time I see him extremely cheerful "

A few minutes later the two where in a black Lincoln Town car speeding under the heavy rain to Green Haven Maximum Security

" so who are we meeting with "

" pleased to meet you to Grant, we are meeting with Louie Vargas he is a prison guard trying to write a book and Redden was the perfect candidate, tell he got released "

Grants kept on thinking about the file he read about Redden and the terms of his release, he couldn’t understand why any one release a monster like him, he knew he would find out the answers he didn’t want to hear for questions he doesn’t want to answer

But it’s the only way

Half an hour later, in Green Haven they two agents inters the office of Commissioner Glenn, he stand up to great the two agents

" please sit down special agent Witt and special agent Dunham "

Crystal quickly pulled out a small note " sir, would you be attending the questioning of Louie Vargas "

" will yes, two agents come here in short notice with no warrant or any paper work about there investigation to ask questions around that worries me and I have to look out for my people "

And Grant adds to his statement " and your self Commissioner "

Vargas inters the office, the Commissioner signals him to sit on a near by chair

Crystal quickly writes a few notes and then turns to Vargas

" I know its late and you would like to go home, don’t worry this wouldn’t take long "

" yes maam " the guard prisoner gently replies

On Reddens trail

http://supremewriters.awarspace.com

Crystal crosses her legs as she prepares to ask the prison guard Vargas a few questions

" tell us about your book your writing "

" not much, I wasn’t writing the book, he was, I mean Redden "

" Redden ?! "

" yeah, he said he couldn’t put his name on it so he wanted it in my name and split the money "

" don’t you know he is in here for the rest of his life "

" yeah I know that but he said that this got out ill be rich and he will get out, some thing he was involved in and a government cover up "

" so any one else here knows of this cover up Redden spoke of but you ? "

" yeah, there is this guy he hanged out with, they call him stand out I think "

" does stand out has a real name ? "

" Magee, yeah Ethan Magee, double murder "

Crystal trades looks with Grant for a second as questions run through there heads

What was Reddens book all about? , what is this cover up all about

Walking to the room where they supposed to meet Magee, Grant was quite, he didn’t complain about every thing like he used too, he didn’t bitch about Crystal taking over the questioning

Inside another room, the female agents sits opposite Magee

Magee, in hand coughs he takes a deep breath out of a cigarette Grant gave him

Magee thanks Grant by nodding his head and looks at Crystal and starts talking " so you want to know what is in Reddens book huh? "

Grant sits next to Crystal while she opens her small note pad and starts taking notes

Grant says to him " that would be nice, but don’t you wanna make some sort of a deal "

Magee quickly replies " no thanks, I don’t want people to know I was even close to that thing "

" ok let just start from the beginning shall we ?, your profile doesn’t fit the one to hang out with a serial killer "

" will you can say we are shower friends and more "

" but Redden is not gay "

" no shit, he is even better then my wife "

" ok, what makes you trust us to say all that, if this goes out in cell block things are going to be a little tough for you "

" will here is the deal, he said that you would be here after he is released, and he specifically said to tell you every thing "

Grant sits back analyzing Magees face trying to find some sort of sign that he is not saying the truth

Crystal takes a quick look at Grant and asks Magee

" what is in his book, what was he writing about ? "

Magee leans closer to Crystal and whispers " every thing '

" and what is every thing "

" every murder "

Magee goes on explaining a few things of what Redden told him, Redden never confess for the murders but the evidence was over whelming, Magee started explaining three murders in details that where never solved and different against the murders that Redden was convicted in doing

Magee added that Redden also writes about his dreams. Dreams detailing more murders. And in details he gives a description of other women in his dreams and what they are wearing

Grant interrupts Magee " bull shit and you know it, I don’t know what kind of deal you got going with Redden to say that shit "

Magee smiles at Grant " I know its hard to grip this, I had the same problem, until I sow a missing girl in the news, she was dressed just like in Reddens dream!!! "

A new murder

http://supremewriters.awardspace.com

in speeding car, under the light rain Grant drives while Crystal reviews her notes

" so Grant, what do you think of all that crap, it seems the legal system just made a mistake letting Redden go "

Grant mumbles " it makes sense "

" what did you say, you don’t really think that any of what he said was true "

" Redden couldn’t be gay "

" so what, men get lonely some time in jail and do stuff "

" no, not Redden, if he is gay he doesn’t fit the profile of the serial killer "

" do you mean all this time, Redden was innocent "

" I don’t know,,,,, Yet "

Half an hour in the buildings elevator, Grant and Crystal are in the elevator going up

" Grant, this is the key for your apartment, Anderson wants every body to stay here till we get our big break in this case "

She clicks the floor below the offices in the top floor

" Grant ill go up to update the files on the computers, you get some sleep and you will meet the rest of the team tomorrow "

Moments later Grant walks in his small one bed room apartment

His suit case is already unpacked

He sits on the bed and starts to see things in a different point, the arrest he made, the very quick investigation after his wife's death, and the record time arrest and the all of the sudden over whelming evidence against Redden, its like some one wants him out of the picture or maybe to take the fall for the real killer
But the killings stopped after Redden was arrested and put in jail, the killings returned as soon he was released

Grant takes a quick shower and prepares him self for bed, tired and exhausted he puts his head down on the bed and slowly drifts to sleep

Next morning, Grant wakes up on some one banging on his door, he quickly jumps up and opens the door

Crystal holding holster with a gun in it " come on lets go, Redden strikes again "

In less then an hour Grant and Crystal where walking in the small apartment, blood every where, the body of a women tortured and left to bleed slowly, Crystal walks closely behind Grant

" so what do you think " Crystal asks

" just give a minute here " Grant grunts back as he pulls up a curled cigarette from his pocket and starts searching him self with the other hand for a light

Grant stand in the middle of the room and talks a quick look around, then he closes his eyes as Anderson slowly walks in behind Crystal

" Now your gonna see Grant at work "

" whats he doing " Crystal not understanding Grants methods

" he has a gift, he sees things, he will know how where and when the killer came in and left "

" what is he, like Merlin or some thing "

" I cant explain it, and don’t ask him "

Grants opens his eyes

" the killer was here before she came home, he grabbed her coming out of the shower while he prepared this room for the killing, she managed to escape but he went behind her and stabbed her throat in bathroom floor so she wouldn’t scream "

Grant pointed to a spot on the floor

" he dragged her from her hair, he was beating her, she lost a lot of blood and was getting weak, he ties her up to the bed and "

Grants notices the picture next to the bed

" Crystal, remember what Magee said about Reddens dream, the three women he described and what they dressed like, look at the picture "

Crystal couldn’t believe her eyes, Magee described three women from Reddens dream and that picture resembles one of them that means two other women will soon have the same fate

interrogating a monster

http://supremewriters.awardspace.com

Half an hour later after Grant and Crystal finished looking around, a two more agents from there team arrived with equipment and high definition cameras before they handed over to the local police

Rhoda Sherman and Charley Daugherty where gathering evidence, Rhoda was collecting hair samples and Charley was walking around with the ultra violate light to check if there is any blood stains that where cleaned recently

Grant new that there will find samples of the killer, thou the profile is exactly a match to Redden but he was one hundred percent sure it wasn’t Redden

Crystal introduced the two agents " Grant, two of the best working with us, the blond over there is Rhoda Sherman and that muscular guy is Charley Daugherty " she gives the young man a wink as she said his name

" Rhoda, Charley nice to meet you guys, how soon will you be able to give me a profile on this guy "

Rhoda quickly answered while bagging and tagging a small hair sample " don’t worry as soon as we are at the lab "

Then he turns to Crystal " come on lets role before the boys in blue pick up our boy "

Crystal following Grant she shouts out " wait a minute, do you know where he is ? "

" I have a hunch, and don’t forget, there are two other women in Reddens dream, he might be able to help us "

She quickly catches up with Grant in the hall way and stops him by pulling his arm " tell me your not going to do any thing that will make me wish that I never been born "

" Crystal, you wished it when you agreed to work in this unit " he pulls his arm from her clutches and walks and continues walking

In the car Grants makes sure his gun is loaded and read while he holds the steering wheel with the other as the car speeds through the crowded streets

" better have your vest on and your gun loaded Crystal "

" Grant where are we going " Grant adjusts him self in the seat and puts both hands on the steering wheel

" I'm going to the place where we arrested found and arrested Redden, I have a feeling that we would find him there "

On top of an old abandon school, in the Bronx Grant opens the door to the roof holding the gun to his side he sees Redden right in front of him sitting on the ledge facing the street

Crystal following the rules of engagement she makes sure that every thing is clear around her and giving good cover for the not caring less Grant

" Redden, I'm here to make things RIGHT ! "

" I knew you will find me, and do you mean make things right by killing me ? "

Grant slowly approaches Redden with in a few feet and raises his gun and aims to his head

" just turn around Redden its all over "

" so, I see they got to you to Grant, but that’s ok, I can tell you stuff " and starts to laugh

Crystal after making sure no one else is in the roof she quickly heads behind Grant

" Grant, what ever you wanna don’t do it "

Redden calmly replies to Crystal " don’t worry, if he wanted me dead I would have been dead by now "

He turns around to face Grant

Grant looked at him, old hurtful memories came rushing back, it was exactly what happened when he arrested Redden, Anderson was right behind him fighting him for the gun

Redden slowly starts talking " listen Redden, you got the wrong guy, I didn’t kill your wife "

" bull shit Redden, the neighbor next door picked you from a line up, your finger prints all over the place, and the countless ….."

Redden quickly interrupts " I know Grant, it was me but ….. some one else was in control "

" don’t play games with me, I said I'm going to set things right once AND FOR ALL!!!"
Slowly Grant puts pressure on the trigger while a tear drops down from his eyes
