*CID Talaash Task 1 Voting*

Entry #1:

Untitled

Police Sir, there have been many break-ins going around the school…I….yes…oh…I see….yes, please come here and have a look…alright, bye…

The principal cuts the phone.

"What do you think is going on here, Mack?"

"I'm not sure, but I believe these break-ins are the doings of a student, a very intelligent one."
"Oh, come on now, why would a student do this?"

"At the moment, I cannot be sure but something leads me to believe it is a student. Who else would know about the hole in the door, or the security alarm?"

"Mack, do you think maybe Steven…well…I'm just making an assumption…Steven is a very rough child…"

"Are you saying Steven Harrison may have a hand in this?"

"Maybe."

The scene fades out on the faces of both Mack and Ryan.

********************************

"Sam! Wait up!

You hear about the break-ins? It has everyone worried! I bet its Steve. He's really mad at the coach for kicking him out of the league."

Sam's silent.

"Hey…you okay? I mean, I know you've had a rough time with your dad leaving you and the coach not selecting you, but cool it. You've still got me."

"John, it gets me so mad. Coach reminds me of Dad. Both rejected me. Dad left our family…not caring a bit for us…same with Coach.

"Don't take it so…."

John is cut off when he notices a small, silver marble in Sam's pocket.

"You're the one…you did it! Why?"

A few seconds later Sam answers.

"I...I was mad at Coach….he made me mad….thinking of Dad…I made a mistake. I know…I'm really sorry…"

Sam begins to sob, knowing his mistake.

A few days later, the case is closed, and Sam is out of school for a few days, but they all start afresh again.

Entry #2:

In 6s and 4s

ACP: How? How is this possible. 4 police officers murdered in 6 days.

Abhi: Yea, and there still is no suspect.

ACP: Every murderer leaves some sort of clue, we have to find out, who is doing all this?

[Another police officer is murdered. And the CID team is called on to the case]

{The murder cite}

[Fredericks is taking photos, while ACP is inspecting the body, the rest of the team is checking the room]

ACP: Inspector Oberoi…there has to be some connection between him, and the rest of the murders.

Jasmine: Sir, nothing in this room has been touched.

Abhi: Which means that the murderer didn't want anything.

Daya: Except for him to die.

ACP: That is strange.

[Back at CID headquaters. The team is trying to make connections with all the murders, but can't make heads or tails of it.]

{3 days later}

[The CID team is called in to investigate another murder]

ACP: Another police officer. There has to be some connection besides this.

Jasmine: Sir, I noticed one thing in common. All the victims have been stabbed in the throat.

[Flashback to the first murder CID handled]

ACP: My god. Fredericks I want to see all the bodies in the forensic lab. Get them from the other ACP who was handling this case before.

[At the CID forensic lab. All the bodies are on tables lined up next to each other]

Daya: Sir, we have their files, there is just one similarity, they all went to the same training camp. Otherwise, nothing.

ACP: Good. Abhijeet, look at all these bodies, what do you see in common with all of them?

Abhi: They have all been stabbed in the throat. And it looks like they have been stabbed from down to up. [He demonsrates on Daya]

ACP: Anything else?

Abhi:..No.

Daya: They are all the same height.

ACP: Exactly which means who ever is doing all this is after police officers who are the same height. 6'4"

Abhi,ACP,fredericks and Jasmine all look at Daya.

Daya: You think he is going to come after me now?

ACP: No, we want him to.

[ACP has a fake profile of Daya made saying that he went through that same training camp, and put it on the website, hoping that the killer would find the profile.]

4 days later

The team is still keeping a watch out, now that they realize the killing pattern.

Daya is comes out of a restaurant and heads for his car. Out of nowhere a small figure starts to follow.

Abhi: Daya there is some one following you, come towards us now.

[Daya is listening through a very little head phone system

Daya:{whispers} OK

The team is waiting in an alley, and Daya starts to walk toward it. The follower very quietly pulls out a dagger, but not before the CID sees his move.

ACP: Freeze, you are under arrest.

The little killer starts to run, but not before he runs right into Daya, stabbing him in the side of his stomach.

The ACP takes the killer in, while Abhijeet rushes Daya to the hospital.

ACP: Why, huh, why were you killing all these police officers. {The man stays silent} If Daya was here he'd smack you one to make you start talking, don't make me do this his way. Why were you killing all these officers?

The Killer: Because! They were all 6'4". They all made it into the Police Training Academy I wanted to get into. But I was too small. 4'6", that's why I went after people 6'4", it was my height reversed.

ACP: Oh, well now you will be in jail, a 6' by 4' cell.

Entry #4

SECRET AGENT

It's happening again. I sit there with friends oblivious to my deviance, my other-worldly self, plagued mind. The dam of my emotions is about to burst, destroying everything in its nihilistic thoughtless path. My eyes are already flooding with tears, or something. Hot incision, I haven't slept, raw throbs pace themselves across my retinas. "I'm tired". I respond. Christ, I need to get out of here, I think to myself. "I'll be right back", I say. They know I'm guilty, they know what I'm up to, everyone does, everyone's looking at me, filth, a mess. No therapist could extricate this neuronal mess, my mind is like Christmas lights entangled, burning bright, light, tight, mixed up messed up sight. I have to go. Christ, I'm shaking again. Bathroom, that way, down the corridor. I feel like some omnipotent being is playing games with me, I'm running north on a southward bound conveyer belt, story of my life.

"Are you okay?", said the gliding figure. I'm not moving, why the hell aren't I moving? "I'm fine, thanks". Who the hell was that? I didn't even see them. A train goes past my ears, and I fall backwards. Demons sucking the clouds from my mind, a gap in conscious experience, a crack in the wall, I realise; I have a few seconds of sanity, clarity. I run down the corridor, my lungs sporadically trembling, enveloped in a wall of non-existent black smoke as I turn the corner and see the bathroom. Suddenly I fall. No! Not now!! My vision's gone, I can't see. I crawl my way into the doorway. Christ, I hope there's no one in there. My hands are reconciled with cold, slightly wet tile and a chill rampages its way through my entire body at incalculable speeds as I am able to open my eyes upon a muddy shoe print. Still unable to control my limbs, I jab at my pocket with my hands, missing it by inches. Jesus, go in! I try again and teleport two metres. What the hell?

I embrace myself as the blizzard of my conscience wraps me in a cocoon of guilt and helplessness. The floor tiles are waving, like a swimming pool. And in one mighty thrust of my hand, which, I have now lost sight off, I reach into my pocket and pull out my lifeline. The packet of tablets in my hand, I claw at the counter and against the magnesium burning taps in a furious attempt to open them. I notice in the reflection of the cheap metal that I have ceased to exist. Finally, I hear a tear, and shove the capsules at my mouth. I hear around 4 miss and echo laughingly onto the floor below. Two make it.

I fall to the ground, and wait. A minute passes, coloured shapes, violent fluorescent lines swiping viciously across my ethereal vision. NO! Jesus not this again. Echoes on, says the sound effects man. I hear voices, the voices of memories I can't remember. Something from my childhood, something bad. "Where is he?!" a woman shouts. I see myself running, through a field, there's a grey box at the end that is my sanctuary, always my sanctuary. Not that day, not that day. Suddenly I am jolted off the ground as if strung to a plane on takeoff, but I stop at about 6 feet. Then the words: "We like playing games with you, won't you play with us?". And in that moment, black vision, black sounds, everything; dark, and I cry.

Oh God. How long have I been here?? I look at my watch. Two minutes. That's it? I think to myself. My legs are liquid as I crawl to my feet, scraping my wrist on the hand dryer. Christ, I'm gonna have to explain that now. Suddenly the door swings open at sonic boom. The man sees me. He's coming up to me, oh God, what the hell do I do? He asks if I'm alright, so I take his head smash it into the bitter porcelain. He falls. What the hell am I doing?! I need to get out of here, I need to get out of here right now. I run to the door, which moves left and right by metres every time I get a step closer to it. As I reach for the handle someone else opens the door and thrusts it into my stomach. "Oh I'm sorry!", he exclaims, so I kill him.

I walk at zero gravity down the empty corridor, my mind seems to be tuned into some paranormal frequency. I hear buzzing, screaming, distant intelligible voices and the occasional woman shouting my name. I know her voice. Who is she? A few hours later, I reach the end of the corridor and plough through the doorway into the place I was before. Oh I see. My vision is inverted. The sun's black, how apt. In an instant I feel nauseated, and quickly turn around before any of my friends see me, backing into the corridor; I vomit profusely on the walls. Wipe. Wipe. Get that bit out of your nose. Okay, ready? Here we go. Still clutching on to my empty packet of pills I slip them into my back pocket calmly. I'm a secret agent; I'm a spy, running from the espionage of my mind. None of my friends know what I do, who I am, really. The people who I'm walking towards right now don't understand these blazing gun fights I have with my conscience, the constant subterfuges I must uncover that blanket my rationality. They'll never comprehend the inner workings of my mind, as I sit down, amongst them, with them, and say calmly and quietly: "nice day, isn't it?".

Entry #5

No Face, no hands:

12 30 pm: CID Bureau:

Phone rings.

Inspector Shah: CID Bureau! How can I help you?

A female, squeaky voice: There is a dead body in front of your building. And she hangs up!

ACP Khanna: Who was there Shah?

Shah: Sir, there is a dead body in front of our building.

Everyone, ACP Khanna, Inspector Shah, Inspector Sharma and Inspector Mitali went outside and saw the most dreadful and horrible dead body of their life

A body of a woman without FACE and HANDS was lying in the parking lot of the building.

The guard was called and he told the team that he had just gone to the washroom and the other guard was on round checking the backside of the building. The body was taken inside the Forensic Science Lab where Doctor Malhotra was inspecting it. Suddenly the phone again rang!

Female voice: Deliver the dead body on this address. Unit # 43, Margalla Hills East. And she hangs up

ACP orders Sharma to find out the voice's whereabouts since all the phone calls at the CID office are recorded for safety purposes. Sharma goes out while ACP orders Mitali and Shah to go and find out about the address given by the voice.

2 30 pm: CID Bureau:

Sharma: Sir,these phone calls were made by a local PCO which is 5 minutes walk from here.

Mitali: Shah found out that the daughter of the house was missing from past two days and she was wearing the same clothes as the dead body (the mother showed the picture taken two days before)

ACP: what did you find out Mitali?

Mitali: I found this piece of razor in the bushes. It caught my attention because of blood and its unusual shape.

ACP to Doctor: Could you please match the blood on the razor to the blood of the body.

Doctor: Before I do that, let me tell you that she didn't die because of slitting of the throat. Instead she was poisoned first and then was treated this horribly.

Every one was shell-shocked.

Just then the guard comes and tells that he caught a man who was rubbing off something from the pavement. In the meantime, another phone call comes and the same voice pleads to save her daughter from the clutches of her uncle.

Shah, Sharma and Mitali go to the address provided by the lady and find a 20-year old girl tied up on a chair and there was a jug of water in front of her. When she as freed, she tried to drink the water but Sharma stopped her and took her to the Bureau.

CID Bureau:

The girl recognized her uncle as he was the same man who was caught by the guard. The mother comes and tells the team that she called in the morning to inform about the dead body as she could not bear the murder but when her own daughter was taken away, she could not resist herself. Shah's one slap made the uncle to confess his crime and told the team about his motive.

Uncle: I was getting married when my bride ran away. I could not bear this and whenever I saw a beautiful girl with henna on her hands, I wanted to destroy her face and hands but I could not do that without killing her. So, I kidnapped the girl, I killed her by giving the poisoned water and then cut her face and hands (he again gets a slap from Shah).

ACP: why did you throw her dead body in our parking lot?

Uncle: I didn't do it. It was she (he pointed towards his sister-in-law)

Mitali: So that's why you kidnapped her daughter as well?

Uncle: Yes!

Shah: where is the face and hands?

Uncle: On my bed!! (And then he laughs crazily)

Uncle was sent to mental assylum and the face and hands were operated back to the body and was handed over to the family

ACP: Marriages are supposed to be a life-long commitment not to make somone insane and make him become a murderer. One wrong step of that bride led to such merciless killing!

Entry #6:

Untitled

The CID is on a vacation to Meridian. They went to a lake & the police found 15 bodies. The bodies were in sacks with each body-part numbered. The bodies were sent to the doctors & there was fingerprints were on. The fingerprints were tested & matched different criminal's fingerprints in the records. BUT the criminals whose fingerprints were on the victims were already dead. All the bodies were over 3 years old and were well preserved.
The same thing happened on the 2^nd and 3^rd day, but it was by two natural lakes.

4^th day: a police office's body was found. The police officer's pocket had a small black diary, which the murderer forgot. The diary said:

August 29, 2004

Today my head officer, Mark, went to the Bonita Lake to solve a crime. The senior officer sent me there not knowing that Mark was already there. Once there, I saw him killing someone. He cut every body part and numbered it. I will go tell every---(He died while writing this.)

Police station: They found out that Mark had the job of dropping the criminals after they're released. He went that day because there wasn't anyone on duty. The CID suspected Mark was the criminal.

5^th day: The CID went out looking for Mark. When they reached his house, they saw that the house was by a lake and there was no house near it. They rang the doorbell, but no one responded. Then the CID broke in to find a lot of bodies. There was a body, two days old, in the middle of the room. It was a cut by the neck and a sharp knife and note was by it. The note said:

I have used other criminals' fingers to kill other criminals after their sentences had been served. I would cut fingers of the people killed by me. I already had my fingers cut in a way so I could put artificial fingers there. My fingers were cut because I got a virus staying by water. I chose to kill people by the water because the water was killing me.

Sorry,

Mark

The CID found all the bodies and gave them to their families.
