Chapter I: Higher Authority

The next murder was of the same type; John was correct.
He had the killer in front of the President.
During night time, however.

The President never woke up the next morning.
The news gathered up in Washington D.C to find out the death of President James.

John received a call.

It was from a high ranked officer.

The Deputy of The Military.

"You know very well this thing would happen, and you proved it, too."

"Sir, I am-"

"You're being shifted into Kentucky, my friend. Don't create a mess here now."

John went home.

He turned on the TV, just to find exactly what he hated.

"Breaking news! On the death of President James, the Superintendent Of Police, John Lesley's 

resumé is under review-"

"We mourn for the dead-"

"Make way for the dead body of John!"

Even in the Movie channels, he saw the same thing.

The Movie Club is shut down due to the death of Hnrble. President James.

                                      Sorry for the inconvenience.                                    

"Damn! This French guy seems to me to like playing a game of chess with me. and I seem to be falling on his tricks! I cannot do anything fairly against him. I guess I'll leave this case to the-"

He stopped speaking.

A call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, monsieur. Good day, you say right?"

"If you are the killer, I know where you live. I know the location of your house through the post office!"

"Didn't you buy this house recently? Did you even see his face? If you bought it recently, how could you find my address?"

"If I bought this house anyway it's not yours-"

John's face turned red.

"How the heck-"

"What do you think? You got a house recently 'cause you recently joined the force. Just ask who lived there to any of the officers near you."

He ran from the house to officer Kinney.

"Hey, Kinney, who lived in the house I am living in?

"Wasn't Pierre living there? The French Superintendent of the area?

"Thanks, Kinn', but I gotta' run back."

He ran to his room and shut the door.

"What do you want of me, Pierre?"

"It's only a game of chess. A rather big one though, it includes the USA. Get your horses ready."

He cut the call.
