Chapter No, 32. Mystery.

The next day when Janet arrived at the credit union office, she immediately realized that her computer was gone. When Silvia, an assistant teller, arrived, she noted that her boss was out of sorts.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone stole my computer," Janet told her. "I noticed that the lock on the door had been left unlocked."

"That doesn't make sense. I locked it on my way out yesterday."

"Maybe the cleaning people forgot to lock it," Janet said.

"You can use the backup computer," Silvia said, pointing to it.

"Yes, but I'm not liking this."

Silvia gave her a reassuring smile.

When James walked out of the High School, he noted that his Vespa wasn't where he had parked it. He decided to go behind the building and then teleport back home.

When he arrived home, he noted that his father wasn't home, which meant one of two things. Either he decided to take a walk in the park, or he was called by the FBI.

It was the latter.

When Robert arrived at Mark and Joe's office, he noted that they looked confused.

"We just got called on a possible homicide by one of our operatives," Mark said. "There has been several of them recently and they all involve decapitation."

Robert rubbed his jaw. "Hmm. That sounds suspicious. How long ago did the homicide occur?"

"It must have just happened. The apartment manager just called a half hour ago. We haven't gotten our CSI people together yet."

"Let's hold up on that," Robert said. "I would like to see the crime scene before anyone disturbs it."

Just then he got a call from his wife. "Yes?" After a short conversation, he looked up at Mark and Joe. "I believe this might be a test. Someone stole my wife's business computer and my son's Vespa. I believe these incidents are related."

"What could you hope to see at the crime scene?" Mark asked.

"I don't know, but there's only one way to find out.

In the blink of an eye, they were standing in the bedroom where the crime had occurred. The victim was a naked young woman lying on the bed in a puddle of blood with her head lying between her legs.

Robert turned to the two FBI agents. "This crime looks fresh. I think I could attach her head and resurrect her."

"Really?" Mark exclaimed. "Have you done that before?"

"No, but there's always a first time for everything. Look, you haven't been able to catch the murderer because he's leaving no obvious clues other than the body. If I could revive her, she might be able to finger the culprit."

Both Mark and Joe were unable to refute that logic.

Robert took the head in his hands and placed it on the bloody neck. He then began the extremely difficult task of connecting millions of nerves correctly, a task that would be impossible for anyone else.

When the woman's eyes opened and then blinked, Mark and Joe were flabbergasted.

Robert handed the woman her nightgown when she sat up on the edge of the bed. She looked at him and blinked. "What have you done?"

"I reattached your severed head, madam, at no cost to you. However, we would like to have you attempt to identify the monster that did this to you."
