A sliver of the truth
Emma’s POV
I really have to reinvestigate the crime scene, am sure that we might be missing one or two clues. I have put to put a team together to ensure the success of this investigation.
I turned it over in mind since that day on May 6th, it is already three days; thank God the scene was sealed off.
“Who are my going to add to the team?” I pondered. Then I concluded on adding Lynn and Vin to my team. This case must be resolved, I said with all determination.
“The time is 6am,” it’s my alarm clock. I just got up and freshened up for the case. The prosecution have already called Kate to court for aggravated assault and trespassing this can’t be delayed any longer. Melissa will definitely use this opportunity to keep her in jail and bias the mind of the jury in the murder case trial.
Vin’s POV
Being a detective for several years, I have come across many puzzles, but this case seems to be deeper than what the facts are presenting.
