《The Whitechapel Murderer》The Ambidextrous Theory

"Tell me more."
"No!" He stood up making Jessica more curious.
"First, Ms Lennon may tell me about the first murder." He smirked at his intelligence.
"Huh? This wasn't the deal?!" Jessica was frustrated.
"Then make it one." He turned towards her.
"You know since I got to know that one more murder was committed I am really curious about its details."
"But-"
"Tell me or help yourself out!" He claimed and acted as if walking out.
"Okay then..." She sighed. "I'll tell you everything." And he turned around and sat in front of her.
"The first murder victim, named...Eviline was a prostitute too and she was also found under the same bridge. By a cop! If you may ask why no local was involved."
"And...?" He inquired
"And...her throat was slit up to her belly button. The murderer is supposed to be left-handed, concluded by the post mortem."
"How do we know she is a prostitute?" Hebrew asked.
"Well...we did some research on her in secret and found her occupation by her friends, co-workers."
"What about her whereabouts?"
"That day she completely vanished, and a day before, she went to her usual bar...had some drink and went on to her work following her routine."
"When was she discovered?"
"Her body was found by a cop while he was patrolling around in the evening while it was all dark. He went there because he was curious to find out why there were so many dogs. When he checked her clothes it was found that everything related to her identity was missing except for the bill of a hotel under her name inside the inside pocket of her long coat."

"The inner pocket!" He murmured within himself.
"Hm?"
"No-nothing...carry one. Anything else?" He asked.
She shook her head, "That's it."
"So you were never able to find the murderer."'
"Yup!"
"And this case came up even before the last one was solved." She nodded.
"What if...I say that these two cases are related?" Hebrew leaned forward.
"How-how can you say so?" Jessica was utterly confused.
"Point number one...both are prostitutes. Two...both were murdered the same way concluding, the murderer is the same."
"Makes sense...doesn't it?..." She nodded with a slight frown.
"But how do we prove it to the crime branch? Cause...the second murder was committed by a right-handed man."
"Hmm...point to be noted." He scratched his visage and leaned back on his chair.
"What about ambidextrous? He could be one." He sat straight.
"Could be?" Jessica sighed.
She stood up and Hebrew's eyes followed her.
"Mr Stone already hates you and now if...you propose your 'Could be' theory, he may kick you out again."
"As if I care, he needs me and I-"
"Stop it, Mr Hebrew!" She yelled and turned towards him.
"I don't know who...told the press about your involvement in the case and made you the target of the bunch of crooks but I-
"Wait...it wasn't you?" He stood up.
"Why-why would I do something so childish?" She frowned.
"Cause...you were almost kicked out of this case because of me." She cleared her throat."Not kicked out...I was...just replaced."
"Yeah, you may please yourself."
She rolled her eyes, "Well the thing is...I never spread your name out. I know I was quite furious when I heard the news and really wanted to kill you but. But I would never do anything so...childlike." She concluded.

"If it wasn't you...then...who it was?" Hebrew thought, though his mind screamed just one name, Winchester.
"Let's think about it later, first let's make your ambidextrous theory a more solid one. Cause I don't want them to find another for your replacement."
"Why? It's already a lot more believable than it should be."
"Nope, it isn't." Jessica kept her hands on her waist.
"Well...it is Ms Lennon." He grinds his teeth.
"Really? you're acting like a stubborn teenager. You know it's rare for a person to be ambidextrous."
"Why? We have Mr Winchester too.
"Wait...Mr Winchester is ambidextrous?" She was quite surprised
He nodded, folding his arms above his chest.
"Never heard of that. I thought he was full time left-handed." she leaned back too.
"He usually uses his left hand in public but he is a well known right-hand user too. My concerns are with you if you didn't know about this, Ms Lennon."
She sighed in frustration.
"Thanks for your concern but...I don't think this will satisfy Mr Stones ever."
"I guess we should at least try..."
"But-"
"Wait...I am your senior in this case, ain't I? And you've chosen me for this place. So why am I even asking for your permission?"
"Mr Hebrew-"
"Sir! Call me sir!" He instructed while sliding into his overcoat. "And let's go. We have two cases to solve, consecutively."
He left Jessica running before him after she locked the door of his apartment.
"You should be careful Mr Hebrew with your home. What if the murderer steals all the material we have against him." She panted.
"And why would he do so?" He questioned.
"Umm..." She went blank, making Hebrew scoff.
"Sometimes...you speak absurd, Ms Lennon." He taunted as he ascended in the taxi leaving Jessica to chase the taxi and glare at him while settling herself down on the backseat
"Why don't you change?" He asked.
"What?" She looked at him.
"Your heels. The clattering it does makes my head hurt. Like someone banging it into a wall."
"It would stop clattering if you won't leave me behind to run after you." She answered harshly.
"Can't help." He looked at the front.
"And neither can I." She looked out of the window of her seat while Hebrew glared at her from the corner of his eye.
Hebrew had never thought that a woman would be so arrogant until he had met Jessica. He had that stereotype of thinking of women as inferior to him. And this thinking had made him more arrogant and egoistic.
While on the other hand, Jessica was a well-educated woman coming from a stable family. Her parents encouraged her and made her study whatever she wanted. It was her dream to solve a case being a lead detective but...all these years she came to know that a woman can never be a leader in between males. And so she keeps quiet and keeps waiting for that one day when she'll find the opportunity to solve a case on her own.
And that day...she will show the whole world how capable she is of being a detective...

Is It Too Late To Move My Lair?
A legendary dragon... It has been told in the stories for hundreds of years. Some say it keeps a mountain of treasure in its cave, some say it is a vicious beast, some say it protects the village nearby, some claim it can grant their wishes, and some just think it's nothing more than a fairytale. He is not. The dragon is very real, although he isn't bothered by what people think of him in the slightest. He also doesn't have a grand treasure, nor does he grant wishes, like a magical genie. He is not interested in eating humans either. And as for protecting them… well. This is the story of the time before the legends, how they came to life and a dragon in the quest of his snooze. In a nutshell, this is a simple, light-hearted story with a dragon in it. What I have in mind is a relatively short one compared to most of the works on this site, but we'll see where it goes. This is my first attempt at writing something like this, so please be patient and kind in pointing out mistakes. As for the posting schedule... let's say it will be sporadic. Hope you enjoy reading, as much as I do while writing it… THE STORY IS NOT DROPPED, JUST SLOW ON THE UPDATES. Cover art by Nane, aka me. (Cross-posted on Scribble Hub.)

The Triumphs and Tribulations of Kai Jameson
Kai Jameson is an average everyday young man. He still lives at home with his parents after having just graduated from college. He loves playing video games and his job at the local Buy More is tolerable. Of course that all changes the moment the system arrives and the Earth is connected to the Nexus. Turns out Kai was trapped in time for about eighteen months while the people already here got a headstart on him. He lucks into being rescued by some people from a town called Donnyton and learns that if he wants to survive in this New Earth he'll have to work harder than ever before. The rewards are worth it. This is Kai's story, the moments of his triumphs, and the moments when he feels that things couldn't possibly be worse. Thanks to puddles4263 and his story The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound for the inspiration on the world this is set in. If you have never read that I highly recommend it, and if you have read it and enjoyed that story then I hope you'll enjoy mine as well. This is the first story I'm ever putting out for public consumption so reader beware on that. Any constructive criticism is always appreciated, simply leaving a half star review tells me that you're a moron who doesn't know how to use words. I'm constantly trying to improve my writing and feedback and criticism on what works and what doesn't is the only way to do that at the point I feel I am at. Last, I just marked all the content warnings because you never know where a story will take you and I don't want to exclude anything (though there will never be a harem). I am going to release 1-2 chapters per week on Fridays. Thanks and enjoy.
