I smiled as I headed inside. I led the way to the back where there was a set of stairs. the only way to my office, it was underground. a place i liked to be. very peaceful. the place i loved most. i headed over and typed in the key to open the door again.
i shut it behind him. "no one gets in while i am in here. i set it so that no one can enter the code without me allowing them in. code or not."

He blinked but smiled, it made him breath slightly easier to hear.
"Good, now..what do you want me to do?" he asked, looking around the large, filled office.

I chuckled, as i switched the light on. Then I walked over to where there was a fold out calender on the corner. "whats the date?"
I picked up a pen qnd flipped through the callender finding the month.
there was a small ball near me and i tossed it behind me, hitting the switch to turn on one of the machines.

He sat down in the second office chair, spinning as he tried to remember.
"20th," he said after a moment and chuckled. He had forgotten, it was his birthday.
"Come on..I must be good for something other then remembering the date," he said, stopping the chair and standing to look over her shoulder.

i smiled at him as i marked the date. i studied the calender for a moment. "look at this." there were marks on all the odd days on the month. three were x's the otheres were circled. seven days were between the x's. the circles were all two days apart. i did a line under the 27th. "that is when he'll strike at me..."

He followed her fingers pointing on the calander.
"Hmm...you? Or someone in your family?" he asked, wrapping a arm around her waist. He sighed, wondering if this was anything to do with him?
He had people wanted him dead for years, his lead as a general gave him such hate.

I sighed as I looked at him. "There is another thing here. All the arrows hit women in the faily. My aunt, my sister, my cousin. all have children or were expecting at the time of death. i am next seeing as no one else is that way. once Jane and my brother in law are dead, I'll be next."

He blinked.
"Jane? Well...there not dead yet...how far away are they from here?" he demanded, picking up his car keys. Maybe there was a chance for them.

I pulled out my phone, knowing that my brother in law would answer. I dialled it.
"Hey, its Gem. Listen you need to get Jane and come round to my house alright? I don't have time to explain right now. Just come."
I shook my head. "Voice mail. They're not home."
I shuddered as I walked over to one of the machines, the one I had switched on.
"Go over to that cupboard and get me the arrow thats in there. I need to check something. There's a set of gloves inside the draw next to it."
I moved quickly towards where there was a plastic bag containing another arrow. Making sure not to touch it with bare skin, and certainly wearing gloves, I walked over to the machine again, noting the still drying blood on the tip.

He sighed, hoping that they were not to late.
"They'll be okay," he said, hoping it to be true. He pulled on the gloves, flicking them around his wrists as a doctor might and pulled it out from the cupboard.
He took it over to her, being careful as he laid it on the desk.
"There you go."

Though I hated to damage my own arrows, my fingers moved quickly to remove one of the sets of feathers from the arrow I was holding. One hand reached for the little glass slide on the bench but it was too far from me. "Damn. Can you pass me that? I cant move from here incase I drop anything."

"Of course," he said, moving quickly but carefully and bringing it to her. He was intrested watching her work, not something he saw very often.

As I worked I talked explaining things. "If I'm right and I'm rarely wrong when it comes to this sort of thing, then those feathers on this slide will have two sets of DNA on them. Mine... and the killers."
I slid the slide into the machine. "I've set the machine to ignore my DNA."
Moving to the keyboard, I typed two words in as a command. CHECK DNA.
"I'm getting it to record the DNA found on that arrow, seeing as its the newest of the killing arrows. Then I'm going to check the one you got for a match. The tip of the arrow I have got checking is wet still. Which means my sister is only newly dead.."

He followed her movments over her shoulder, watching with intrest.
He gave her a reasurring squease. All this couldn't be good for her. The stress and loss of love ones...needing to solve the puzzle and unable.

My hands moved deftly as I worked to strip the other arrow quickly.
The machine beeped and I moved back to the keyboard. SAVE DIAGNOSTIC.
That done I inserted the new slide from the old one. CHECK MATCH.
