A normal evening in a big city.

A car runs down on a bustling road-a man age 24,behind the wheel, and woman age 21,on the passenger seat chatting happily.

"So I want real flowers decorations for our wedding and it has to be a forest wedding like twilight. I'd be wearing a fitted dress like bella. Do you think my bump will be visible by then"

  Girl happily chatting planning about their future her voice full of excitement and man nodding a happy smile spread on his lips ,chiming where necessary.They are like any other newly engaged couple eagerly waiting to start a family together. Dreaming of forever.

But the fate has other plans

The car came to an halt. The board reads:

WORK IN PROGRESS .PLEASE TAKE THIS LINK ROAD.

oblivious to the danger  ahead they took the detour. He-the freshly recruited fbi agent and she- a recent college graduate.

A few miles down the road they noticed something odd. The road is too quite. This highway is one of the  busiest one in the city. Something feel off.

As he was racking his brain then up ahead  he saw several figures blocking the road between the road their cars on the side hazard lights on .

He stopped his car. Before he can speak the air explodes with gunshot. Bullets rain over the car.He instinctively shielded his fiance with his body. They b both  try to duck try to protect themselves but the bullets started piercing from driver side window too.

Admit the gunfire she  hears the  laughter .

" This is the badge of your honesty " One shooter sneers.

Then silence. The gunman approach slowly keeping the distance. Seeing no movement from the car they assume everyone inside was dead. So they left.

Someone inside survived someone saw their faces.

After 5 mins of their leaving car door opened two bloody figure came out  girl supporting his fiance his body heavy in her arms. She lays him down on the road

"look don't sleep asher I m calling for help" She said her voice panicking.

She called the emergency services " Hello you have reached the emergency may I know what your problem is? "

  " Hello me and my fiance has been attacked he got multiple gunshots please send help we are at xyz road please. He is bleeding alot." She said.

" Mam please try to stay calm  help is on the way tell me is any of his vital part injured" Said the voice from other end of call.

" No but he is bleeding alot please help "  She begged.

" Ok mam please try to stay calm and apply pressure to the wound to slow down the bleeding  help....." Before the voice can complete her sentence the line went dead. Her battery died.

" Hello hello"  She screamed at the phone powerless.

She tries to apply pressure but there are to many wounds, too much blood wounds, she feels helpless.

" Baby baby please don't sleep please help is on their way please I beg you please for our baby please " She said while crying.

her own shoulder bleeding  where she was shot, random cuts from broken glass but she didn't care about herself all that matters is the love of her life.

She cried, yelled for help. She begged, begged to everything she believes to save her love. She is witnessing the life getting drained from the man she loved more then her life.

" Baby" He whispers his voice week.

" Shhhh save your energy don't speak " She says still begging hoping against the hope for someone to help.

" Let me speak baby. I don't have much time left. I m glad you are ok please take care of yourself for me and sorry for not fulfilling my promise princess in next life I will try my level best to fulfil them. I LOVE YOU ...."

He said while cupping her cheek with his bloody hand then he took his last breath and his hand goes limp body still. "

No no no no no..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"  A broken cry pierced through the night .

." Please baby you can't leave me, leave our child please come back  to me please"  She side crying.

Like God was punishing her for her god knows what crimes a sharp pain pierced through her stomach and a gush of blood started flowing  from between her legs.

" First your father left me now you too I don't want to live anymore"  Those were her last words  she collapse wrapping her arms around her fiance's body her eyes hollow lifeless...waiting for her death.

Loud sirens wails through the silence but she can't hear anything can't see anything her world dark, quite with nothing in it broken they took everything from her the love of her life, her happiness ,her very soul  .

Pera medics arrived checking pulses performing the emergency rescue"one  dead one alive , hello mam can you hear me can you tell me your name hello"  Said someone. But she can't hear anything her world is quite.

They tried to sperate them but she didn't loose her hols like she was clutching her last lifeline" Sir she is not leaving the body" Said one of them" Ok so move them together " The chief orders.

"  You Check the car for information and inform the family" The chief orders again.

They both were rushed to the hospital she didn't say anything didn't react like she was not there her soul is somewhere in the dark only her hollow body is present there. She can hear wails of a woman and doctor's words " She is critical shock , showing signs of ptsd, miscarriage and blood loss. Her vitals are stable now but she is not responding to anything I suggest the Psychiatric consultation"  But to her they meant nothing her world is still quite.

ONE MONTH LATER

" Based on the evidence submitted in the court ,the court sentences life imprisonment to the defendants , case  closed ".

" But they are not the culprits "  Three voices cry out in court simultaneously.

Three people Asher's parents and brother fights for justice but their pleas fall on deaf ears.

Disappointed from the lack of justice driving back  from court  an overspeed truck ran into  their car.

Another case closed ruled an accident. The scapegoats found dead in the prison. Case closed buried deep somewhere, justice never served, killers roaming free.

THREE MONTHS LATER

She hadn't spoken a word  her eyes are still hollow, her world still silent , quite, dark nothing left in it. World snatched everything dear to her. First her parents, then fiance, then baby, then in laws, her future.

Yet she's still alive.

why?????......

Loud steps echoed through the hallway leather sole against the polished floor of FBI berou .

A man walked with purpose wearing crisp suit, two disposable coffee cups in hand . His brown eyes calm yet sharp, his face chiseled ,his fuller lips into curled into curt smile. All an all he is handsome yet dangerous to cross SSA RYAN JONES.

"Hello Ryan"  Said DR NATE My college from forensics .

"Hello" I replied and We begin walking together.

" So any new Discovery on the case "I asked.

"  You mean THE PRIDE PURIFIER CASE? " She countered

"Yes, God I hate that name"  I sighed.

We turned the corner and entered the office.

Their buried in crime sence's photos sat SARAH Williams- my partner and the woman I'd be trying to charm without any success.

She was starting at the photographs without blinking.

"What a lovely setup for our coffee date" I muttered sarcastically while handing her the coffee. 

Her black eyes narrowed on me her hairs wrapped in work updo, suit jacket abandoned on her seat, sleeves  rolled upto the elbow . Her syren eyes blood shot  from too many hours staring at the photographs. Her fuller lips adorned with nude lipstick pressed into a flat linea frown making his way onto her beautiful face.

"Thanks" She murmured and  returned back to photos.

"Any clue" I asked.

She shook her head frustration tightening her jaw

" No I have been racking my brain for two days. this person is on a killing spree. We  have found three bodies so far. Same method : tounge chopped out,  iron rod inserted up the rectum, rosemary stuffed in to mouth and cross carved on their face with a pointy weapon possibly knife all while the victims was still alive . Then cutting their throat and leaving them to bleed their way to death. Slowly"

She exhaled "the only thing they have common is all victims were openly gay estranged from their family we don't have any similarity different age, color- no other connection. And main thing how he is selecting his targets. "

" Based on the evidence our killer might be a gay hater or some stuck up in the mud type of person with ancient mentality " nate offered leaning in.

" Or " Sarah added "he himself is a closeted gay someone raised in a toxic family. Maybe he couldn't mustur up the courage to come out  and now he is punishing those who did. Taking out his rage on them for being brave".

Every one hummed at the two possible profiles.

"SSA WILLIAMS and SSA JONES please report to my office" Orders our superior.

We both left Immediately for our superior's cabin.

"So whats the report on THE PRIDE PURIFIER CASE"  He said

" We both are working on it according to evidence .We both have two possible psychological profiles. But we are still struggling to find hard evidence. Their are no fingerprints, no dna, no foot prints, all the things used are local easy to find. " Replied sarah

" I want progress" He snapped "this case has gone public the media calling him THE PRIDE PURIFIER . We are under a lot of pressure from public and higher ups so it's better if you both get me something solid" He said

"yes sir"we both replied in unison.

" You may leave now" . We both left the cabin.

Back to crime board We both are staring at pinned crime photos - three lives, three brutal death.

" Wait" Sarah said "look at that cross,  its the same cross in every picture,but this cross looks different from standard ones" 

I leaned closer "Yes  you are right let's research this cross. See where it might come from"  I said.

" On it"replied sarah already pulling out her laptop.

The cross belong to the local community curch me and Sarah arrived there for further investigation.

"Hello I m ssa joans and this is my partner ssa williams we are here for a case and would like to speak withthe father" I said to the helper .

" Yes ,please follow me" He replied and we followed him down the corridor. He led us to the other side of the curch where the father's office was located. He went inside while we waited outside.

A minute later, he stepped out  "you can go in now".

  We entered the office.

"Hello I m ssa joans and this is my partner ssa williams we are here for a case we'd like to talk to you a few questions father. do any of these faces look familiar ?" I asked handing him the photos.

Father studied them carefully" Yes I do remember them, they used to come here every Sunday "he said.

" Dis they know each other ? Were they close? "  Asked Sarah.

" I don't think so " The father replied...."I mean you know what they are so if they had any connection... I probably would have heard something" Said father.

"Did they have anything in common ?or do anything or anyone ever show any grudge towards them" sarah continued

" None that I know off " He Replied .

"Anything anything at all that all three of them did common even the smallest thing" Sarah pressed further.

" Now that you have mentioned they did confessed to me about their........preferences. About how they fought for their freedom. Some even talked about  hurting their families in the process but I don't think it's relevant and I can't say any more as it would break the seal of confession. "

" Can you atleast tell us the timeline of their confessions? " Asked sarah

" Between 2-3 months " He replied

." Thats ok thank you  if anyone else confess something similar could you let us know?" I asked

he nodded then we both left.

" I think he's choosing his target through curch " I said as we walked out " we need to catch him before someone else dies"

  Sarah nodded in agreement.

  " So would you like to go on a coffee date with me? or lunch ?whichever you prefer " I asked with a grin.

she glared at me and  rolled her eyes.

" Oh come on -I m not that bad" I smirked" Wait.......are you a lesbian"  I said with a dramatic gasp.

she rolled her eyes again visibly  unimpressed.

" Ok seriously now " I said tone softening. "do you like someone else? if you do just tell me. I will back off- it will sting but I'll live that....or ..... Do you just hate me?" 

" No" She replied "I don't like anyone and I don't hate you . I just don't want a relationship right now. Not at all I want to focus on my dream " .

" And may I ask what dream is so important it ranks over me" I said dramatically

" To bring justice, to help the right ,to stand for truth" She said with conviction.

" You are too righteous " I said with a smile." But fine I won't stand in your way just know I won't stop  chasing you . And if ever you felt anything for me you have to tell me deal?" 

she nodded.

Just then my phone rang . It was a call from bureau.

" There's been another murder " The voice said " New victim the case is yours"

Without the word sarah turned the car.

Another case, another story.....
