It was Emma's birthday. Emma was a little girl barely 5 years old. She was excited because her parents promised her a big party, with balloons and a clown. Emma loved clowns.
"Edwin, I asked you to hire a clown," Emma's mother complained.
“I hired one, I swear. I don't understand why he hasn't arrived yet…” he spoke with a concerned tone.
The guests looked happy. They ran and jumped while laughing but Emma was sitting down; where was the clown?
A man entered the yard and introduced himself with a smile; “I am the clown Assassin. Nice to meet you.”
The couple breathed a sigh of relief and approached the clown to tell him what he should do but Assassin told them that he had everything planned.
The clown gave balloons to all the children and told bad jokes. The adults were relieved to see the kids sitting around giving the clown their attention so they decided to go inside the house for a few beers.
"I'm glad they’re having fun," Edwin said with his wife.
"Yes, I was worried because I thought the clown was going to cancel at the last minute."
In the yard of the house, Assassin took out a knife and started talking to Emma; "the best part of a birthday is not cutting a cake" he started laughing.
Emma was confused but she grabbed the knife that the clown put in front of her. He moved his head to indicate that Josh, her neighbor, was her victim. Emma put the knife into Josh's right eye and all the children started screaming in horror. Emma and Assassin laughed excitedly and repeated the action with the other children.
Emma's parents ran to see what was happening. They both froze when they saw their daughter killing all her friends. Edwin was worried but did not hesitate to call the police.
The police arrived and arrested Assassin. At the police station they asked him who he was.
“My name is Agus. I'm 35."
“Do you dedicate yourself to animating parties?”
“Not at all.” he started laughing “I met a man walking and I killed him. I stole his suit and saw that he had missed calls from a number… In the chat there was an address so I went.”
The policeman sighed and arrested him. He wrote Agus's name on the wall; the section called killer clowns. It was the eleventh killer clown case in the week...
