"There she paused for a while thinking... but the temptation was so great that she could not conquer it"
I woke up from a dream about a woman who was running from who knows what, and a car hit her. This man dressed in all black came and killed her when the other guy wasn't looking.
She was like in a trance when the guy had touched her face, like she was seduced. It was weird and creepy.
"Lizzie!" Dad called out
"Yes?"
"Get changed I gotta case"
"What about school?"
"You still got two days left for that note now come on!"
I get changed and when we get to the crime scene I notice it's the same bridge from my dream.
"Driver of the car Leroy Kent, says he's driving home from work, drives onto the bridge, see's victim running and she runs right in front of his car. Says it happened so fast couldn't do anything" Hank says
"Get an I.D. on the Vic?" Dad says
"No wallet, no purse and looks like she just got out of bed"
"Well, Mr.Kent have anything to drink?"
"He's had a couple, but he's under the limit"
"Any witness?" Dad asks
"Well, driver said there's was one other guy told him to call 911 but he didn't stick around. I got guys out doing a canvas now."
So everything happened in my dream? No it's just a coincidence.
"Mr. Kent?"
"Yes?" The guy said
"How you feeling?" Dad asked
"Is she dead?"
"Yeah" Hank said
"At first I thought she might be okay, I mean the guy said she was still breathing." Leroy said
"This the guy who told you to call 911?" Hank asked
"Yes, I ran over there as soon as it happened and he just walked up."
"And where'd he go?" Dad asked
"I don't know I, I called 911, I look back he was gone."
"Any idea what he looked like?"
"Not really, no, I was pretty shook up and I was paying attention to her."
We take a look at the body and same women from my dreams, same bridge, and same guys.
Not a coincidence at all, anymore.
After we found out how the woman died and who she was, we went to see her husband at his work.
"You Roy Collins?" Hank asks
"What she tell you? She saying I hit her?" Roy asks
"She didn't say anything" Dad says
"Well that's different, she usually complains about everything I do"
"Well, she's not going to be complaining anymore, we founded your wife's body last night"
"What?!"
"Your wife's been murdered, look I know this is difficult but we need to know, when's the last time you saw her?" Hank says
"L-Last night"
"What happened?" Dad asked
"I came home, I was hungry, Faith wouldn't get off the computer. Like always, she's got to connect with her 322 friends, I mean who the hell got 322 friends? I mean, I'm hungry I've been working all day" Roy says
"So you argued?"
"Yeah, and she walked out. You know, mad I didn't mean anything I said"
"Did she tell you where she was going?"
"No"
"Did you go after her?"
"No"
"About what time did she leave?"
"I don't know, ten or something like that"
"So she left and you stayed home? That's your story?" Hank asks
"It's the truth!"
"Anybody see? You talk to anybody?" Dad asks
"No I- I was waiting for her to come back, she always comes back" Roy says and we stay silent and Roy continues "You guys think I did something to her? You think I killed my wife!"
"You want to do yourself a favor, why don't you come downtown with us, we put you in a lineup what do you say?" Dad suggests
"You want me on a line up then arrest me, but you don't got anything on me because I didn't do it, where is she?"
"Her body's at the morgue" Hank says
"When do I get her?" Roy asked
"Somebody'll contact you" Hank says and we leave back to the precinct, when we get there Dad and Hank go into the Captain's office and I sit on Dad's desk.
They both get back and we head towards 'The Bramble House Bread and Breakfast'. We get there and Hank looks at the house and says "Ah, not bad, you should make time for a place like this"
"Check out this '67 MGB Roadster!' Ready for a little bit of trivia? Royal blue and chrome bumpers collectors call that model right there 'The most desirable MG ever made' impressed?" Dad says
"Mildly" I say and Dad nudges me
We go inside and Dad asks the owner if he had seen the woman or when was the last time he seen her.
"Of course I remember her, she came in- I'd say it was after 11:00. I was in the kitchen pulling up some biscuits for breakfast and I heard the bell ring so I went and got the door, oh excuse me for a minute" The man, Billy, says and deals with his customers
"Newly weds there a third of my business, uh, where were we?"
"The girl" Dad says
"Of course, right, um I showed her a room and the garden"
"But she didn't stay?" Hank asks
"No, she didn't have a bag with her, so... I'm sorry is there a problem?"
"A cab dropped her off, it didn't pick her up can you explain that?" Dad asks
"I really don't know, if they don't want to stay I can't force them to. You know to tell you the truth she seemed a little bit concerned or troubled and it's not really my place to get involved in guest's personal lives, so.."
"Can we see the garden?" Dad asks
"Of course, oh, but I warn you...you might want to stay" Billy says and we go outside
"Yeah this is the place, she came here then what?" Dad says showing the picture
"Oh, I showed her these amber roses that bloom only in Portland and, uh, my flowering wisteria. And of course the agapanthuses but don't get me started on those and then she said she wanted to sit for a moment and gather her thoughts so I said that this- Be careful where you step!" Billy says as Hank steps on a frog
Billy picks up the frog and turns into a goat like wesen "The toad is an endangered species, it's the first sign of our extinction when toads die"
"I'm- I'm sorry I didn't see it" Hank says
"Well, if you can think of anything else" Dad says handing him a card
"Of course I'll contact you immediately. Would you like for me to show you out?"
"No we're good" Hank says and we start walking off
When I turn around I see him eat the frog. A frog, he just ate the fucking frog!
~•~•~•~
Well Dad dropped me off at home and Mom is still at work so I'm just eating leftovers scrolling through my phone til I get a text.
Junior
J:Hey! Did you ever find the Hexenbiest?
L:No.
L:I didn't, my Dad is taking care of her
J:Oh ok good cause those things are nasty
J:Can I ask you something?
L:sure what's up?
J:What's it like being a Grimm?
L:well, it's weird.
L:seeing things you can't explain, things that should be in your nightmares so there's that
J:yea
L: you're an Eisbiber
J:yea who would've thought an Eisbiber friends with a Grimm!
L:is it cause y'all kinda get spooked easily?
J:Yes, that's the main reason I ran from you and the fact I thought you were gonna cut my head off
L:I would never do that, me and my dad aren't those type of Grimm's
J:yea I know that now
I look up to see Mom come into the house so I send one more text to Junior before putting my phone up.
"Hey Mom, how was work?" I ask
"Good, everything is normal" Mom says as she starts to help me eat the leftovers
"Dad's still at work, trying to solve a murder" I say
"Ooh, I don't even want to know" Mom says and I laugh
Later in the next morning Dad came, they caught the dude turns out he got multiple women pregnant after keeping them hostage.
At least that sick guy can know what it's like to be in a cage for the rest of his life now.
