American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 328: Zero Frame Start
The strangest part is that when Jamie was giving his statement, he said that when he returned to the apartment, he heard his wife calling him.

However, according to the preliminary autopsy report, his wife had already died an hour before Jamie returned to the apartment.

Hoffman repeatedly asked Jamie if he had misheard, but Jamie was convinced that he had.

It was for this reason that Hoffman felt there was a big problem with the case, and then reported it directly to the Seattle FEA office, which led to Saga and Jack coming here to investigate.

Saga indeed had extensive experience in investigating cases. After a brief examination and combining it with the case details reported by Hoffman, he was able to determine that this was a supernatural case and that Jamie's wife was definitely not murdered by humans.

At this moment, Roy had already seen the doll Jamie had mentioned, which was none other than the classic Billy doll from the movie.

Roy and Jennifer exchanged a glance; both could clearly sense the dark power remaining on the doll.

It's likely that a powerful evil spirit was possessing the doll before, but that evil spirit should be gone now.

"Mr. Blake, is this what you're looking for?"

Jack noticed Roy and Jennifer's behavior and came over with a smile.

This guy's smile gave off a very uncomfortable feeling, causing Roy and Jennifer to frown slightly.

"Yes, can we take this doll with us?"

This doll might allow the phantom of the hellhound to track Mary Shaw directly.

Jack shrugged.

"I'm just a junior agent in my probationary period; only Saga can make decisions like this."

Saga had just come from another room and overheard Jack's words.

"what's going on?"

“Nothing, Saja. Mr. Black wants to take this doll that fell by the bed.”

Saga's sharp gaze swept over the doll on the ground, then over Roy's face.

"Mr. Black, is there a problem with this doll?"

Roy couldn't just take the doll away without a reason; there must be something wrong with this doll that looks so traditionally made.

Saja, a seasoned detective, quickly realized something was amiss.

Roy raised an eyebrow. He didn't really want to say anything, but it seemed that if he didn't tell him, he wouldn't be allowed to take Billy the doll away.

“It’s nothing. I heard from the suspect, Jamie Ashin, that this doll might come from the town of Ravensfield, so I wanted to take it with me to Ravensfield.”

Saga frowned slightly.

"Mr. Blake, would you mind telling me what your case is?"

"Actually, it's not very convenient."

This made Saja unhappy.

Because in terms of rank, Saga is a mid-level FEA agent, while Roy is just a regular agent.

Although the two do not belong to the same branch, there is still a difference in their ranks.

“Agent Black, if you are unwilling to disclose the details, then I am afraid I cannot let you take this doll away.”

Saga's attitude was very tough; this middle-aged Black woman seemed to genuinely regard Roy as an ordinary agent.

Roy wouldn't even give face to a vice admiral, let alone a black woman.

We were already being quite lenient by waiting for this guy to arrive before investigating the scene.

“Ms. Anderson, I’m taking this doll no matter what. If you have any complaints, you can report me to your superiors.”

As he spoke, Roy picked up the puppet from the ground and prepared to leave with Jennifer.

No matter how many complaints Roy makes, nothing will happen to him. His name is registered at FEA headquarters, and no one will bother him with such a trivial matter.

Even the people of Amacham wouldn't be this stupid.

At that moment, Saga suddenly reached out and stopped Roy.

"Are you ignoring me because you discriminate against me because I'm Black?"

Roy:? ? ?
Good grief, so they're starting with zero frames, huh? They're immediately slapping a racist label on Roy's head.

Roy looked at Saga with disgust.

Some ethnic groups like to play this game, using discrimination as a pretext to demand benefits, and if you don't comply, they'll ruin your reputation.

The past few years have been the time when the Black movement began to gain momentum, and many Black people have climbed to power by relying on political correctness.

It seems that this Saja Anderson is also this type of person.

Saga looked at Roy, a smug smile spreading across her dark face. Usually, when she pulled out this trump card, others had no choice but to give in.

"How did you know? So what if I discriminate against NG?"

"You know that much—what did you say?"

Roy looked at Saga, who had his mouth agape, and answered, word by word.

"N~G! Do you have any other questions?"

Roy dared to say that to Gerald's face because the latter was a typical mangosteen type and wouldn't be fazed by being called out.

Moreover, Roy and Gerald have such a good relationship that even if Roy tells Gerald to NG, he will just take it as a joke.

However, Saja, a middle-aged Black woman, clearly could not accept the word and immediately lost her temper, pulling out a gun and aiming it at Roy.

You must apologize to me for that word you just used!

Roy looked at Saga with an indifferent expression.

Which word did you say?

"You, N... apologize right now!"

Saga was extremely agitated, his expression contorted in rage. He was already rather plain-looking, but now he resembled a crazed female gorilla.

Seeing this, Jennifer, who was next to Roy, was about to intervene, but Roy hinted to her that she didn't need to.

There's no need to bother with such low-level thugs; that would only get your hands dirty.

“Okay, Ms. NG, I’ll apologize to you when I have time, but you’d better get out of my way for now.”

Roy didn't believe Saga would fire a shot. It wasn't that serious yet; if the other party fired just because of a "NG" (no good) excuse, it wouldn't make sense in court.

Moreover, Roy is from Texas. Is there a problem with Texas discriminating against Black people?

In Texas, the only Black people you can see are slaves on farms.

Saga was so angry that her originally flat chest suddenly appeared several cup sizes larger, but just as Roy had thought, she really didn't dare to fire the gun.

After all, Saga wasn't a street thug, but a certified FEA mid-level agent. If she pulled the trigger, all of this would be over.

Saja may have to go back to the streets, have a child with a Black man, and become a single mother.

At that moment, Jack suddenly reached out and grabbed Saga's shoulder. "Saga, don't be impulsive!"

As if by some strange twist of fate, Saga pulled the trigger, and the bullet struck Roy directly in the back of the head, knocking out several strands of his hair.

After firing the shot, Saga was also filled with disbelief. She really didn't mean to shoot, but her hand had just automatically pulled the trigger.

This is a really big deal now!
"I-I didn't mean it!"

As soon as Saga finished speaking, he noticed that Roy was perfectly fine, except that he was missing some hair at the back of his head.

However, this is a very serious problem for Roy.

Roy has always been very conscious of his personal image, and the loss of these few strands of hair made him very angry.

Keep in mind that Asmodeus never made Roy lose any hair!
"What are you trying to do, you NG?!"

Roy turned around and glared at Saga, then handed the puppet Billy to Jennifer beside him, and walked toward Saga.

"I, I... Don't come any closer!"

Saga didn't know how to answer directly for a moment, but he felt very scared when he saw Roy walking over.

So Saga started to lose all hope and repeatedly pulled the trigger to shoot Roy.

However, with Roy's current agility and physical attributes, he could catch even a bullet from a heavy machine gun with his bare hands, let alone Saja, who was only using a small pistol.

Roy slapped Saga to the ground, instantly knocking out half of his teeth and helping him drift into a peaceful sleep.

"what's going on?"

The police officers guarding the crime scene heard the gunshots and came in. They saw Saga lying on the ground with one side of his face sunken in, and Roy wiping his hands.

"It's nothing, Ms. Anderson's teeth were a little sore, so I performed some orthodontic surgery on her."

Good heavens, that's an outrageous statement!
If someone has a toothache, they knock out all their teeth. So-called orthodontic surgery is just slapping them with your hand, right?
However, Jake, who was on Saja Anderson's side, did not offer any explanation, seemingly tacitly agreeing with Roy's statement, which left the police at the scene speechless.

"Um, should we take Ms. Anderson to the hospital?"

Saga's face was sunken in half, which looked quite frightening.

Roy knew how much effort he had put in. Saga only looked scary; he wasn't actually in any danger. At most, he would need plastic surgery.

However, plastic surgery might actually be a good thing for Saja, since her original appearance, no matter what kind of plastic surgery was performed, is still an improvement.

"Then what are you all standing there for? Otherwise, Ms. Anderson will wake up in pain. Never mind, let me do it!"

Roy pulled out his phone and called an ambulance, the most expensive kind, the kind that's hard to get reimbursed by federal health insurance.

When Saga awakens, he will surely shed tears of emotion.

If the other police officers at the scene knew what Roy had done, they would be terrified.

This kind of operation was terrifying for America. If Saja woke up in the ambulance and found out that the ambulance he had called couldn't be reimbursed by health insurance, he would definitely prefer to jump out of the ambulance.

Then let's hope that Saja can sleep all the way to the hospital and keep this surprise until he gets the bill.

After doing all this, Roy left the apartment with Jennifer, ignoring Saga's little sidekick, Jack.

After Roy and the other man left, Jack knelt down next to Saga, as if he were giving him first aid.

However, when the ambulance arrived, the accompanying doctor discovered that Saga's heart had stopped beating.

On the surface, the only external injury on Saga was the slap Roy gave him. No other wounds were found on his body, nor were there any signs of poisoning or illness.

It seems that it was Roy's slap that led to Saga's death.

However, the specific cause of death can only be determined after an autopsy.

Jack was furious upon receiving this news.

"What! That guy actually slapped Saga to death! I have to report this to my superiors!"

With that, Jack stormed off and made a phone call.

After making several phone calls, the entire Seattle FEA office was quickly alerted.

After all, it is a huge disgrace for a law enforcement agency to have a mid-level detective killed on the spot.

If this humiliation cannot be resolved, FEA agents will never be able to hold their heads up in public.

All FEAR members were mobilized and, led by two senior agents, went to Roy's small town to investigate.

After reporting to his superiors at FEA, Jack made another phone call.

"Hello? Ms. Ella, someone is looking for you. You'd better be careful."

After saying that, Jack hung up the phone and watched as the ambulance loaded Saga's body into the vehicle, then gave a cold laugh.

Roy was unaware of these things. He took Jennifer and Billy the puppet to the hotel that Madison and the others had booked to rest for the night.

It was already very late. Although Roy and Jennifer still had energy, the four members of the Apocalypse Society were clearly exhausted.

The four witches' physical abilities were only at the level of ordinary people. Carrie, who had the bloodline of Samael, was slightly stronger, but even that strength was limited.

However, when Roy entered the suite he had booked and saw that the room was completely dark, he knew that the four members of the Apocalypse Society were up to something again.

The next second, the lights in the room suddenly came on, and Roy saw four holy nuns, each holding a lit candle.

"What do you want to do!"

Roy swallowed hard; he could guess with his calves that this must have been Madison and Maria's idea.

These two little witches are a perfect match, always coming up with ingenious ideas that Roy never would, even more talented than Penny in this regard.

People who have been to Hollywood are definitely different. Penny, who has only been in small-town nightclubs, hasn't seen enough of the world!

Unfortunately, Zoe and Carrie also like to join Madison and Maria in their antics, and this kind of group pranks is really hard to bear.

“Mr. Black, we’ve come to hear your confession—oh dear!”

Madison's acting was pretty good at first, she really gave off that feeling of a holy nun, but she completely lost it the next second.

It seemed like melted candle wax had dripped onto her hand, burning her so badly that she couldn't hold it in and could only cover her hand and keep blowing on it.

"Ugh! Madison! It's all your fault, you've ruined the atmosphere!"

Maria was very annoyed; the atmosphere had been quite nice, but Madison had ruined it all.

"What can I do? The wax has dripped onto my hands!"

"That's why I told you to buy special low-temperature candles. Why did you buy these regular candles?"

"Of course I want to buy low-temperature candles! But where am I supposed to find them in a small town like this? This isn't Boston, and it's definitely not Los Angeles!"

Even low-temperature candles know about this, could these two girls have been playing around in private before?
The ambiguous atmosphere in the suite has completely disappeared, leaving only Madison and Maria blaming each other, while Zoe and Carrie try to persuade them to stop.

Roy clapped his hands.
