Robert Allen had just turned in for the night, he had a rotten day and was exhausted from a day that saw him getting called on the carpet for failing to submit the reports from his last case. He was ready to retire and was looking forward to the next two months to pass to complete his twenty years with the bureau. He had just laid his head on his pillow when Cimeries appeared in his bedroom. “Robert my old friend, it is good to see you.” Cimeries said.
Cimeries, I haven’t seen you for a long time, what can I do for you?” Robert said but was thinking, now what can he want. I don’t need him around now.
“I am in need of your services; I want you to find someone for me?”
“Who would that be?”
“He is known as the slayer other then that I have no information except this list of my people that he has killed. Included in the list are the locations of where he killed them.”
“How soon do you need this?”
“As soon as you can find the information.”
“I will need time I am working three cases right now.”
“Robert, you have lived well off of my generosity, I would hate to take all of that away from you.”
“Cimeries please allow me some time, you have not given me much to go on, I will put this at the top of my list but I need time.”
“Very well I will give you some time but do not delay, I need it as fast as you can or I will suffer a fate from my master. But before I suffer you will suffer a worse fate.” Cimeries disappeared and left Robert to just say “Shit.”
When Robert arrived at his office the next morning he logged on to his computer and pulled up the travel data base, he typed in the query giving only the location traveled to. He did not have a time frame so he put in the last six months; he started the query and let it run in the background while he went about his day on his three active cases. Robert checked back in after lunch and noticed that his computer had completed his query on travelers and when he pulled up the results he was astonished to see there were just over 2 million travelers to the query. He started another query on the data that had come back and wanted just people who had traveled to all of the destinations in the last six months. He would let it run and maybe he would have a better idea on who Cimeries was looking for.
