House groan, he hated reporters. Almost as blood thirsty as some of the murderers and assault convicts they arrest here. But investigative reporters were almost worst, acting like detectives themselves to sell newspapers, "Not now Thomas. Who let her in here?!"
A willy and dorky looking officer quickly sprang up and took Bobby by the hand, "Hey, Robert. You better get..." Nodding his head towards the door.
Just then however Robert's cell phone rang out. On the other end was her boss, Mr. Crev, "Thomas, we have it. No need to hassle the chief. There's a murder near Discovery Park, but there's another story I need you on. We just got a call from an informant that there's another Phantom murder. Looks like a crime lord who finally got his dues. 34 SW Admiral Way."
At that same moment, House was getting the same information from dispatch. Waving to Peacock, he whispered in his when when close enough, "The Phantom struck again. Coming?"
The Chief of police never went out on field work, but this case was close and dear to his heart. He had suspected ten years before, a year before he became Chief, that the spattered murders of businessmen and gangsters was the start of a serial killer. He had been right but was torn from the case when he became chief.
But now it was too late. In those times he had made mistakes, he had left clues. Now his technique was perfect and the DA refused to connect the murders from ten years ago and the ones that had sprung up again two years ago.

Milos and Wilberforce slowly pulled up to the house, a manson was a better discription for it. Gardens full of spring flowers, stone pathways leading to secluding sitting areas, a gate worth of godzilla. Getting out of the car and shaking quite a bit she looked up at the house.
