Requisite Evil
She was the victim of an intricate plan of evil. Someone with a deranged mind, someone capable of controlling the thoughts and actions of remote hosts, scripted the torture, murder, and mutilation of her body. Hers should have been the only murder. The killer hadn’t tried to evade capture. There were clues and tons of evidence intentionally scattered about the crime scene. The plan’s success, in fact, depended on the killer’s capture. A police force ill-equipped to handle a case of that magnitude, however, bungled the initial investigation and the killer subsequently escaped. Or had he? The lead detective began receiving messages, assumedly from the killer, taunting him for his inability to solve the case.
Help would come as a vacationing FBI agent read about the murder and offered help. But was she really there to help? She was a wickedly beautiful woman with a powerfully seductive demeanor. She swept the lead detective off his feet and a romance ensued. Would he be he blinded by lust? Were her sexual innuendos real, or part of an even more elaborate plan of evil? Romance, murder, and evil would all come together to forge an ultimate deception.
As the investigation continued, more mutilated bodies appeared. There were minor differences between the original murder and the new ones, however. Those differences gave rise to suspicion they were dealing with a copycat murderer. The lead detective’s rookie partner suspected the FBI agent was not who she claimed she was. He set out on a mission to expose her. The deeper he dug, the more cause for alarm he felt.
As a suspect came into focus, the FBI agent tried to convince the lead detective that he had the wrong person. He was under tremendous pressure to solve the case, however, and wouldn’t listen. The messages the lead detective received from the murderer implicated the FBI Agent. By then, however, he was hopelessly in love with her and outright dismissed them.
When the detectives finally took a suspect into custody, the story took an unnatural turn towards the paranormal. Unexplainable things began happening to the suspect. It was as if he was being controlled by an outside force, a force that was feeding instructions directly into his brain. Everyone around him could see the sheer terror on his face, as he’d cower in a corner of his cell as if trying to get away from an invisible attacker.
In the end, the coroner gave the detective a choice only he could make. Would he let a killer go free, or see the imprisonment of a close friend? Would he make the right decision? Could he?
Murder, intrigue, and evil forces would all play a role in an unholy act of ultimate revenge. Through seduction and satanic mind control, innocent people became pawns used to carry out the impulses of a modern day demon.
