      Chapter 1:

      Eveline Turner

      Easing, Mai 5 2009

      Chief Holland was sitting behind his desk and looked at a picture of the old team. Now that former chief Roberts and Lisa Neagley were gone, he was the last one of them to remain in Easing. Since the events that occurred six weeks ago, things have changed dramatically in Easing. City police took over the investigation and worked five consecutive weeks on it. A picture of Mitch Crowne was released nationally and eventually in Belgium and Germany. There was only one reply that was proven to be false information. Chief Holland was a few years away from retirement now and he had considered to transfer to Ameland a few times. Somewhere more quiet.

      After those five weeks the whole city circus disappeared as easily as it appeared. Nothing left behind to investigate. Damn, when he had spoken on the phone with Lisa lately, he found out that the three bodies of Butch, Simon and Richard were found in a trunk. Holland had difficulties coping with the disappearance of the Barnes brothers, but the whole Mitch Crowne thing overshadowed that in his opinion. It would be probably something that happens once in a thousand years in a place like Easing. It was probably never going to happen here again, and Holland was glad about it. He always asked himself where Alan went, such a normal and quiet man turned into an associate for a madman that Mitch Crowne was. Or was he wrong about the fact that Mitch Crowne was simply a madman, a drifter?

      Later that day, the chief decided to do his round and to take a look at the crime scenes. Holland realized these houses wouldn't be sold in the near future. Heck, for Easing's sake, it could be a straight downfall. Who wanted to live in a village where murder and missing occur year after year. Even though he was daydreaming a little, someone caught his eye. From the way she looked around to the way she moved, she was not from around. Chief Holland thought about her for a few seconds and then decided to ask her what she's doing. After he left his private car, he stared at her for a while. If she was a model for some big ass magazine, he would believe it immediately. She was slim but she probably had a toned body. He estimated her to be 1.77 metres and she weighed something near 64 kilogram. As Holland came closer he would describe her arms as sinewy muscled. She was wearing a black pantsuit and white blouse under her black leather jacket. Really FBI sort of thing. Her dark blond hair blew perfectly in the wind. Before Chief Holland was about to talk, he saw her brown eyes.

      'Good afternoon madam, do you need any help?'

      'Hello mister Chief Holland, I didn't knew you would find me this fast.'

      Chief Holland looked surprised and yet he stayed calm. 'I don't know if we have ever met before, but it looks like you're lost or something.'

      She turned around and looked right into Chief Holland's eyes. 'Six weeks ago you were visited by an extraordinary male, about 1.88 metres long and…'

      'Yeah I know madam. But we're not on that case anymore.'

      'You're better than I thought you would be Holland. But, I assume you can't tell me why there is nothing to be found at the crime scenes?'

      'Listen, I was here when the things happened, so does the rest of Easing's population. We like to erase this memory and would appreciate if not some other stranger continues the outburst of aggression that madman started! But, if you want to find out anything more about it, you should visit City Police department in Groningen. I recommend personally my former colleague Lisa Neagley.'

      'First of all sir, I don't take orders from you. But, I appreciate you're cooperation. I can't promise that I won't come back, for now I'm done here. There's nothing to find here anyway.'

      'Have you visited the crime scenes?'

      'Yes I did. Like I mentioned before.'

      'That's a felony madam. I should arrest you right now.'

      'You don't even know the slightest bit about me. You don't even know what hit you're town a couple of weeks ago.. so hard.'

      'Listen, I don't like being downgraded like you do now, which is in this country another felony!
