Chapter 884: Chapter 69- Trinity – Some New Suspects (VOLUME 5)

~~

Trinity

~~

Reece had made a good decision to have the crowd monitored after that talk with Artem that he had. As it turns out, there were some people here that might need to be interviewed by us. And of course, we were going to do the interviews, not the police. It would be the best course of action for us in the long run. If they were responsible for these murders, or working with them, then they would be answering to us instead of the local police department.

Artem and his men gathered the three people that had been captured and started to take them back to his estate. They would be taken there separately and put into different rooms. And there they would wait, handcuffed to the chair with a guard watching them. Before we went back to Artem’s place though, we needed to head over to the morgue so that Talia could free the soul of this victim.

Jackson, Rawlynne, Vincent, Gabriel, David, Shane, Alexio, Rudy, Reece, Talia, and I all separated into the three vehicles that we were using to travel around. Only Reece, Talia, Alexio, Rudy and I were going to the morgue. The others were going back with Artem and Will to watch the prisoners. However, they were not to talk to them until Reece and I got back. Those bastards could wait there and stew in their own guilty subconsciousness until then.

When we got to the morgue, we were taken right in by a member of the police. This time, there was no supernatural being that was working with the morgue so it was hard for us to get access without the police helping us. I was glad for that help though. I don’t know what we would have done without them.

.....

“Dr. Brown, you are needed upstairs.” I heard the officer telling the woman that was in the cold storage area that she needed to leave.

“Oh. OK.” She nodded and left after washing her hands.

The moment that Dr. Brown was out of there, we ran into the room and over to where the victim was lying. I knew that the doctor was just about to perform the autopsy, so it was a good thing that we were brought here when we were. If we had waited another couple of minutes, the poor girl would have suffered even more.

“Will this take long?” A female officer by the name of Rachel was looking at the naked girl on the table. She looked like she was about twenty-five years old or so, but that could have been way off given the way that we aged now. Still, she was young, innocent, and didn’t deserve to die like this.

“It won’t take long.” Talia said as she too looked at the girl. Her long black hair, high cheekbones, and beautifully tanned complexion. Even though she had been dead for over twenty-four hours, I could tell that she was a beautiful girl. That beauty had not been diminished at all.

I saw that Talia was starting the process of drawing her magic to her. The light that always came to her and the feeling of the air around her. It was all amazing to see, and I was so proud of her for what she was able to accomplish here.

I couldn’t see the souls that Talia pulled out of bodies like this, but I could somehow sense them when they first exited the body. It was like they were a physical presence for just a moment, but that presence disappeared almost immediately.

Right when I sensed that presence, I heard the door to the morgue open behind us. I knew that Dr. Brown was here and the moment that I smelled her very human scent I confirmed it, even before I turned around.

I saw the woman, slightly older with white hair, white lab coat, brown skirt, blue blouse, and a surprised look on her face. She was watching us as if we were some sort of thieves here to steal the body of the dead woman.

“Emily?” Officer Rachel looked at the woman with a shock to match her own.

“Rachel, what is going on here? Who are these people? And what are they doing to that poor girl’s body.”

“It’s not what it looks like, Emily. They haven’t touched the body.”

Talia was looking at the woman as well. She had frozen with her hand in midair where she had been pulling the soul out the corpse. She was scared at the sudden appearance of the doctor in the room, but she was also focused on the good. I saw that she looked down at the girl with sad eyes and spoke softly.

“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to stop like that. Let me get you out of there now.” She was in the middle of this process and couldn’t just stop there. I couldn’t hear her, but I was sure that the girl had to be screaming, crying, and generally just flipping out. She didn’t know what was happening to her and to have this process halted in the middle must have been frightening.

“Rachel, explain this to me? What is that girl doing to the body? What is going on here?” As she spoke, Talia finished pulling the soul out of the body. At that moment, the presence of that person felt real, just for a moment. Then it instantly disappeared into nothingness. At least, that’s how it felt for me.

“Wh..what is that? Wh..who is that?” I could tell that Dr. Brown was looking at the soul. That was where her eyes were locked. She wasn’t looking at me, Talia, or Rachel. So that only left the girl that was just removed from her body.

“What is what? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Rachel looked at the doctor but I could tell that she wasn’t paying attention anymore.

“Dr. Brown, can you see the girl? Can you see the woman that Talia just pulled out of there?” I didn’t know why, but this human was able to see her, I just knew that she was.

“Y..yes. I can. H..how. How is it that she is right there but also laying on the table? Sh..she’s dead. What is going on here? What is happening?”

The human woman was on the verge of having a panic attack. She was scared. She was confused. And she was just about to start screaming. In fact, she had just opened her mouth to inhale for that scream when I walked to her side and put a hand on her shoulder.

“Dr. Brown, will you come sit with me for a moment? I will explain some things to you that will help you to understand.”

“O..OK.” She nodded and started to walk with me, but she didn’t take her eyes off of Talia.

While I took the doctor away to talk, Talia started to talk to the latest victim. She needed to get more descriptions from her and to see if anything at all was different than the previous cases. This was what we needed to gather from the most important witness of all.

Right now, though, I couldn’t focus on Talia at all. I needed to find out what was going on with the good doctor here. And I needed to know why she could see the souls of the dead when I couldn’t.

“What is happening here?” The doctor asked me the moment that she was in her seat. “What is going on?”

“Dr. Brown, that girl is dead, like you said. As you already knew. My daughter over there was freeing her soul from her body. She was trapped inside with those markings that someone put on her. We were called in by some of the police officers to help her. I am glad that we got to her before you started the autopsy. She would have been able to feel and experience what was happening to her. That would have been more traumatizing to her, even though she was already dead.” (f)ir(e).nᴇt

“Sh..she could feel?” She looked horrified. “Do they all feel it?”

“No. Only the ones that are trapped. She is safe now.”

“H..how was she trapped?” I knew she would want to know.

“Did you see those runes that were carved into her? Those were what trapped her inside of her body. The man that killed her is part of a group that has been murdering others around the world. We needed to come here as soon as we heard she had been killed and help her.”

“Wh..what if someone else with those marks comes in here? I..I don’t know if I could do another autopsy knowing that they might feel it.” She was truly shaken by this.

“Only those with those marks would be trapped in there. And if you are ever worried about it, you can call me. I will come to check with my daughter to see if there is ever a trapped soul.” I was trying to calm her down and make it so that she could do her job.

“Who are you? What are you? A..are you something that isn’t human?” She didn’t look scared now. When she asked me that, she looked like she was more in awe than anything else.

“My name is Trinity Gray, and I am what I am. And right now, me and my family are working on solving these murders. We want to stop anyone else from being hurt like this. We want to make sure that no one has to worry about being killed just by going outside of their home.”

“You’re good people. I can tell.” She smiled at me and I felt the calmness inside of her spread to me.

I talked with the doctor for a little while longer. She was still worried, she was still scared, and she needed someone to be understanding with her. I didn’t tell her what I really was, or what my title really was. However, I did tell her that there were things in this world that she didn’t understand. I explained to her that ghosts were souls, like she just saw. I explained that magic was real. And I told her that just because someone was different than the ‘normal’ person, doesn’t make them a bad person.

I also explained to her that there were likely more people like me than not like me that she had met in her life. Or that the split was probably fifty fifty. That seemed to make her smile and calm down just a little. And when I gave her my business card, she seemed to feel even better. Having that little piece of tangible hope in her hands was enough to give her a little more hope for the future.

“Thank you, Trinity. Thank you. I swear, if I didn’t know any better, I would say that you were some sort of goddess sent here to help me.” I didn’t know how to respond. If I was being honest, I was a goddess, but I didn’t act like one all the time.

“I am just glad that I was able to be here. We’re going to go now, Dr. Brown. If you need me, call me.”

“Thank you, Trinity. I will.” She rose from her seat with me. It was like she was eager to see me off, but also reluctant to see me go. It was a little odd, but I knew that some people could get like that after traumatic events. I wasn’t going to push anything here though. Well, maybe one thing, but that would be all.

“Dr. Brown, please do keep quiet about this. It is so much easier for us to do our work without so many people getting involved.”

“Oh, yes, of course.” She nodded and smiled as we walked out of the room. I hoped that I didn’t have to worry about her at all. That wouldn’t be a good way to move forward.
