Black Butterfly, Where Does the Black Butterfly Go Drink Water - Chapter 1

Psycho-path

is for most of the serial killers, and usually they try to get sexually satisfy by committing bizarre crimes. They can’t sympathize other people’s feeling, so even if they give them terrible pain, they don’t feel any sympathy or pity, and they feel positive feeling about the things they do.

The thing that differentiate from normal criminals and them are they don’t have anything abnormal about them. Their problem is limited to moralities. They can be seen as ‘morality disable.’ Their intelligence is not low, but usually they have normal or lower intelligence. A high intelligent serial killer like ‘Hannibal Lecter’ is not common in real life.

Most typical psychopath are such as Jack the Reaper from England and Ted Bundy from United States. With their thin sense of ethic, they like to portray their crime in detail. But one thing you should remember is, even though the word ‘psychopath’ got popular recently, they existed since long time ago…..

“The word ‘psychopath’ got actually popular recently, but it’s been a while since that word came out. When was it? Was it in 1880? I think it was about then.”

“Really?”

“And it’s an interesting word that spread widely, but you know that’s a curse?”

“Hm. I think it can be seen like that. So?”

“If I hear that I’m a same kind as you, you know that means I’m a psychopath too?”

“Aaah, that’s right.”

“You know I’m not happy at all?”

“I didn’t say that to make you happy.”

“Ah- Never mind.”

Alvin smiled in front of Jude who was waving his arm like he’s sick of it. He made a face like he was sleeping so well, and suddenly his boss called him to run to the office -in other word, very annoyed face- Jude scratched his cheek and sighed looking at his blue gray eyes.

“Hey, excuse me. I’m being really pressured right now from Chief. He’s like ‘You caught him so get something out from him! It’s annoying that all the media are keep asking!’ But what do I know. You already got caught, so pretend you’re saving a very tired cop and tell us where you hid the bodies.”

“You are saying something strange. If you know the word ‘psychopath,’ you know their characteristics very well. Can’t sympathize and don’t care about other people’s feeling. That means, don’t you think it will be very rare for me to sympathize your situation and tell you where the bodies are?

His tone was very polite and quiet. Jude clicked his tongue. –I really don’t have to go see those horror movies. What’s the point of watching The Silence of the Lamb? A guy like Hannibal Lecter is right front of me. In the movie like bloody screen with stabbed dead bodies are just obvious and cannibalism is just an option for this guy. He remembered what the professor said in a criminology class he took, ‘A person like Hannibal Lecter doesn’t really exist in real life. If his intelligence was that high, he probably became a proper famous person already.’ Jude messed up his hair annoyingly. Of all occasion, it was me who hand cuffed this guy who’s involved in this crime. Instead of being scared or disgusted, a thought of ‘why did I do that’ came in first. After that, this serial killer in front him rejected all other detectives and only allowed Jude to talk to him. The Chief said to him with blood shot eyes, ‘If you can’t figure anything out, I’m gonna put you in one week of night overtime,’ and he unknowingly nodded his head.

“….I should’ve made Tim do the hand cuffing…..”

He said it like sighing, and Alvin laughed. His ice pick-like eyes smoothly bent. He looked very innocent.

Alvin Johns. A serial killer not only made a hot topic, but also made the public in big panic. This year he barely became 24 years old. A fact that a man who graduated from Columbia University and had a proper job in a finance company is an actual killer from recent serial murder in New York –the crime that’s found is already 16 cases- put New York in terror. It was understandable because he was really ‘normal.’ A perfect job and income and calm and gentle young man.

What made them in more shock was that unlike other serial killer, they didn’t find any trace of child abuse when he was a child. His parents did die pretty early, but he grew up in a very ‘normal’ family and got independent pretty fast. There was no sign of abnormality not even abusing animals when he was a child or causing problems at school. He has calm and clean look, blue gray eyes with smile, and clean style light blonde. He was polite and got along with everyone. Of course, that was until they found cut, sliced, and stabbed many dead bodies under his basement.

“The reason why I only want to talk to you is not only because you arrested me.”

“Huh? Then why?”

“It was you who figured out where I was.”

“Ah, that’s true.”

“How did you know?”
