Chapter 6 – Former Patients

  "What's the situation?" the senior CSI detective Wilson Giles asked

  "There's a compint by the neighbor of this guy... a Mr John Connelly... screaming his lungs out... asking to die..." the junior detective Maria Olsen said

  A sedated body was being wheeled into an ambunce as the two detectives continued talking.

  "So what's going on?" the Wilson asked further.

  "Well...you see... the man is a cripple. Half his body has been amputated from the waist down, and both his arms were amputated as well" Maria said

  "That's horrible. What happened?" Wilson asked

  "He was one of the victims in that train crash months ago..." Maria said

  "Well, that's a shame. But how does that involve us?" Wilson asked

  "Er.. well... he was whole up to yesterday" Maria answered

  "Huh? What do you mean?" Wilson asked

  "Do you remember the crazy court case and media circus that followed?" Maria asked in return

  "Yes... the Dr Frankenstein...sewed his victims together" Wilson answered

  "Frank Erskine sir" Maria corrected him

  "Yeah whatever... don't tell me this guy...." Wilson asked as his eyes lit up, suddenly realizing where this was going.

  "Yes. He was connected to a female body. After the court case, he found himself a fortune becoming a nude model with his female body. His Onlyfans account alone made him a millionaire many times over.... " Maria said

  "Then his current body..." Wilson hesitated asking

  "From what we can tell, the top torso is male sir. Somehow his head had been reattached to a male chest. But his arms are missing, so we can't really identify whose body is it. DNA samples are being sent to the b. But if the DNA is not part of our database, we would never find out whose body it is" Maria answered

  "At least he's alive. The assaint at least didn't kill him. But the skill involved.... how about that doctor?" Wilson asked

  "He's dead sir. He died from his wounds after being assaulted after the court case. The doctors that certified his death... hmmm..." Maria said before stopping as she checked her search on the tablet provided by the CSI

  "What is it?" Wilson asked

  "It says here that the doctor certifying Dr Erskine's death was his colleague and former fiancee Dr Jennifer Lawson" Maria answered

  "Really.... maybe she's hiding something. I think we should pay her a visit" Wilson said when his phone started ringing.

  "Yeah? What is it?" Wilson answered "You sure? Ok I'm on the way.." he continued

  "What is it?" Maria asked

  "There's another gruesome case 10 minutes away on Carmen Drive.... come with me" Wilson said

  "But my car..." Maria said

  "We'll come back for it ter. Let's go" Wilson said

  --

  As the detectives arrived, the house was surrounded by vehicles with sirens.

  There were two police cars there as well as an ambunce as a sedated woman was being wheeled to an ambunce. Nearby what looked like a pair of parents aged around early 50s were standing around looking worried.

  "What's going on here? Detective Giles" Wilson said as he fshed his badged at an officer

  "Sir! This teenager... a Sandra Diaz... She woke up to find her legs had been amputated!" the officer said.

  The two detectives went to talk to the distraught parents. The mother was crying hysterically as the father tried his best to answer calmly.

  "My name is Detective Giles. This is my assistent Detective Olsen. Do you know anyone who would want to do this to your daughter? Is there any possible motive someone would do this?" Wilson asked

  "No... maybe.... She was making waves after she emerged suddenly and qualified for the Olympic team for the paralympics in track and field" the father said in tears.

  "Paralympics? What do you mean? In a wheel chair?" Wilson asked

  "N....no... She had legs until today!" the answered angrily.

  "Sir!" Maria interrupted as she showed him her tablet.

  "What? Is it urgent?" Wilson asked

  "Yes sir. This teenager Sandra Diaz was also a victim of the train crash. She was transpnted with the legs of a dead victim and had the legs of a bck athletic male. This caused a media circus when she easily qualified for the paralympics in record time. She could be a challenger for the real able bodied Olympics too at the times she was running!" Maria said

  "Another of Dr Frankenstein's victims?" Wilson asked

  "His patients. I don't think they were worse off after he operated on them Sir" Maria said

  "Whatever.. wait! Didn't he have another victim?" Wilson suddenly asked

  "I'm on it Sir!" Maria said as they both rushed to Detective Giles' car

  "Here it is Sir. Constance Adams, homemaker, family of two. She lives in Grandao Drive!" Maria said as they both closed their car doors.

  "That's two hours away" Wilson said

  "Then we'd better hurry Sir" Maria said as the car sped off.

  --

  "Can I help you?" a blonde woman answered the door, as a two year old toddler hid behind her skirt

  "I am Detective Giles, and this is Detective Olsen. Are you Constance Adams?" Wilson said as he noticed she was missing a right arm from above her elbow.

  "Yes I am...what is this regarding?" she asked

  "Who is it?" a male voice came from inside the house.

  "It's two detectives dear!" Constance answered as a man walked out from behind, carrying a young boy on his shoulders.

  "Er... can we come in?" Wilson asked

  "O...of course" Constance said, inviting them both in.

  ..

  "Oh dear... how horrible!" Constance said after the Detectives informed her what was going on.

  "As you can see, I got another surgeon to remove my transpnted arm. I couldn't live with it as it scared my children. I know the poor surgeon who transpnted it on me was murdered, but I don't bme him for anything. Although I couldn't keep the arm, he still rescued my life and for that I am grateful" she said as she showed them her stump.

  "Do you think Constance's life is in any danger?" her husband asked

  "I... I don't know. The other two cases, the assaint left the other two in the condition they would have been in if Dr Frankenstein didn't transpnt other body parts on them. But as you've removed the arm off yourself... I don't really know. But we'll put a few officers to guard you for a while" Wilson said.

  After a while more of talking, both detectives left the residence.

  "Do you think this is the end of it?" Maria asked

  "I hope so... but I somehow doubt it. This is just the beginning. Let's go and see the ex-fiancee of Dr Frankenstein" Wilson said
