The phone call

The phone started to ring.

"Hello!" he answered holding the knife to her throat.

"Yes, Hello my name is Detective Steve Hendrix may I ask whom I am speaking with?"

"Detective?" he tightened his grip daring her to make a sound "Why on earth would you be calling me?"

The detective let out a sigh.

"Can you just answer the question."

"Yes.. Yes, My name is John Waters" he licked the side of her face, she cringed at the smell of his breath.

"Mr. Waters, exactly the person I would like to speak with, is there anyway you can come down to the station"

He stopped licking her, more attentive and straightening his back

"Right now is not a great time for my detective, you see I have had a family emergency come up my aunt has come down with a bit of the sniffles and I am traveling to Arizona in 4 hours." He kicked her to the ground she let out a whimper.

"Arizona? For the sniffles? I am sorry Mr. Waters but it is very important that you come down within the hour or we will have to serve an arrest."

He picked up a pair of sewing scissors, he showed them to her, she drew back.

"Arrest for what? you'll have no leg to stand on"

He started to cut the bottom of her shirt inching upward towards her chin.

"Suspension of kidnapping, Mr. Waters"

He stopped cutting.

"With all apologies Mr... what did you say your name was again?"

"Detective Steve Hendrix..." the detective interrupted.

"oh yeah Detective Hendrix but it is of most importance that I make it out to my aunt she is deadly ill and I'm afraid she wont make it through this one." he plunged the scissors into her throat blood oozing from the gash.

"Can you just answer me this then have you seen a woman, age 23, short brown hair, medium build?"

He plunged the scissors deeper. She let out gargling chokes as the blood started to suffocate her. She shook trying to free herself with every bit of energy she had left.

"No Detective I cant say that I have I usually just stick to myself if anyone would know it would be that old noisy senile Mrs. Wallace across the street."

"What's that noise in the background" asked the detective.

"Have a wonderful day Detective Hope you find her." he hung up the phone.
