Real Novel Chapter Twentyone
From PenguinWiki
Kate stared at the two cripples lying in their beds, she couldn't help smiling it was just to perfect. She could see the headlines before her in her mind. They will all tell people about the raw and brutal murder of two innocent and defensles disabled persons. It will be just so nice to think that it was I who killed these pitiful creeps. Then she activated herself and began instead thinking of the best way to kill her victims. It would maybe be the best if I just stabb them to death, and with unnecessary violence as I prefere Kate thought for herself. After that she took a knife from her handbag and stepped over the body of the dead man and stabbed Runi, but he saw her coming and produced all his willpower and moved in the last minute his body a bit so that she missed and just hit mattress.
Carlo stared at the woman who tried to stab Runi, and thought oh shit, it's Cafelnakov, what the fuck is she trying to do. Well kill us apparently but why? I can't really understand it. But maybe it's best to play time and talk to her. "Hey Kate what are you doing here? I mean we haven't exactly done anything to you, as far as I know at least." "Ah you are just trying to play with my feelings aren't you? You must have forgot a lot since the army days and the time after that, you know that I loved only Tony and not you. You are meaningless to me, and now I hate you becuase you killed Tony!" Kate answered. "Now both you and your roommate are gonna die, and that will be an very painful way to go". Maybe the shot in the head would have been a better alternative, than dear charming lady Cafelnakov stabbing us to pieces... Carlo reflected when he tried to avoid the blow of Kates knife that she aimed at him.
In that second Sgt. Anderson entered the room. What he saw was a body o f a dead man lying on the floor and Kate Cafelnakov trying to stabb two cripples which he identified as Carlos Sandiego and 'Runi' Morouse. He didn't wait to see what's gonna happen next, but jumped on Cafelnakov with all his weight. He hit her really hard and she fell without a noise to the floor. Lt. Guthrie and the constables rushed into the room and busted Kate.
The late Jakc Leicester was just to be moved away when a slime and tall figure entered the room. Lieutenant Guthrie barked at him; "Here's no entry for civilians young man, can't you read?" "Yes I can read and I know that, but I come in an urgent matter, I want to confess a murder", the man said, " I Antonio Leicester murdered Tony Scolletti for some debts, it wasn't anything really personal, but he had once betrayed both me and Carlo overthere, in drugbusiness, and I wanted to teach him a lesson."
Antonios confession was both as much an release as an surprise to Lt. Guthrie and Anderson and they busted him immediatley.
He later broke down when he get to know that his a bit naive cousin Jack had been killed while trying to kill the people that he believed had killed Antonio. Antonio was sentenced for 15 years for coldblooded murder, and parting in drugbusiness. He later on got seven years more prison when he confessed the killing of brother Ignacio in Mexico City.
Kate Cafelnakov was sentenced to death, for the Tango murders, it was proven that it was she who had killed five innocent people, under the influence of her partner Tony Scolletti, but it was she who actually had carried out the crimes, and the try to kill Carlo and Runi.
Lt. Guthrie left the force after this case, it was as he self said to much for him to handle, to see one more corpse lying in a lake of its own blood. So he retired and mowed to a nice little cottage in the countryside where he spent the rest of his life with his wife. Sgt. Anderson returned to Australia and was promoted to Lieutenant for his work to solve the case. He lives there still with his wife and children.
Runihura Morouse got badly depressed after the case was solved, that meant there was nothing left for him to live for, and therefore he decided to do himself in. This time he actually did it, and so he he was found one day hanging out from the window outside the hospital with a rope round his neck. He got a lot of publicity by the way he died and figured in the headlines of many newspapers. Carlos Sandiego actually got rid of his drugaddiction and moved to Cuba, what happened after that's unknown.
