“Bill have you heard? Did someone tell you that you need to be at the crime scene as soon as possible? I mean, you need to get the fresh evidence right?” asked Commander and Bill felt that his ears would burst at the volume of his voice.
“Boss….it is four in the morning and definitely an ungodly hour. Then why on earth are you screaming like hell?” asked Bill as he started pulling his boots over his feet.
“Right right…my wife has been complaining her whole life that my pitch is high but right now you need to go to that crime scene as soon as possible. Chop chop,” said his boss and Bill rolled his eyes.
“Yes boss I am all decked up and going to sing Deck the Halls on the way to my scene of crime,” said Bill as he spewed the sarcastic comment out loud before he could think what he was saying,

She tensed her hand hoping that it would crushed in that giant bear paw of his but instead he held her hand gently and squeezed it so

When Bill and Jane were discussing on the clue of the missing bullets and the magazine of the gun which was found in the secret drawer of the man’s cabinet the specialist doctor arrived at the scene. He was not at all happy at being called in the dead early time of the morning and was grumpy as hell. Jane could understand that the moment she took a look at his face. But this was not the man the she had called. She knew that the one she wanted here was a woman.“She could not come because of some problems. We work in the same department. I shall check it for you and if you still feel her need then she will come and check the body at the morgue later today. Would that be alright, Dr. Diego?” asked the man..his name was Dr. Reece.“Good morning Dr. Reece.

“Calm down, Margaret,” said Olivia in a calm tone still standing there close to the door.“You shut up. You were not invited to this party,” lashed out Margaret and she was screaming at her sister. Susan could not understand what was the reason for this sudden display of violent temper and that too in front of guests. Young women of royal families were usually taught and brought up with more grace and poise than this.Margaret jumped up and advanced on her sister with her right fist already tightly wound to punch her sister in the stomach but Olivia did not move from where she was standing. Olivia was taller and had longer arms and before Margaret could touch her, she shot out her long arms and then placed her hands on Margaret’s shoulders and then gave her a violent shove. That made her fall back on to the chair and she ended up being sprawled on it.

“I would like to take a walk on the moor,” Susan declared,” to get that damned horror story out of my mind in which Billington reveled in. There are more steps at the end of the terrace,” she finally said.“I shall come up with you,” said Nathan,” There is a stony ground higher up. Thankfully I have the motoring gloves and they will work just fine. Then in case we trip, we won’t at least rip our hands.”Susan marveled at his ahead thinking.They walked a long way across the recently trimmed grass and then the slope began. So did the rough ground, littered with stones of different colours. Susan wearing her gloves reached the edge of the moor first. Behind her, Nathan who had a very sensitive nose for different odours made a face.Susan eased her way along the narrow path between the tall gorse bushes

Lancelot’s POVHe stood on the doorway, blocking any way out. He spoke softly, so softly, that I thought it might have been the wind. His hands, rough from a day’s work, held a glass of wine with such finesse. His stare was fixed on me, and it send chills down my spine. I sat on the bed-- his bed-- wondering when this waiting game would end. It's not as if being with him was a bad thing, but that it had to end sooner or later. The dread that followed every encounter frustrated me.His delicate features beguiled the roughness of his body. The scars I've seen were evident of hard labor. His demeanor betrayed all the scarring, all the hardness that one was entitled after strenuous work. He was a walking contradiction.He walked towards me, glass in hand, with intention to join the bedside. I let him do as he wanted, noting that there was no hesitation in his steps. His hand made a detour on the a

It was my freshman year in college. While I had a father that paid most of my school expenses, if I wanted to have a social life or even a Big Mac, I had to get a job. As in any other college town, good jobs are hard to come by, so I took what I could get. In this case, I worked with the maintenance department at the local mall.One week, the mall had this arts and crafts promotion. Numerous vendors set up kiosks all about the center portion of the mall. One of the vendors was this guy named Robert who made little glass figurines out of Pyrex with a blowtorch. I found myself interested not only in the artwork, but also the fact that the guy told me that he was pulling down good money. Like anyone who enjoys his craft, Robert was more than happy to tell me about the business. After all, like he said, his permanent shop was about 1000 miles away, and it was not like I was going to be competing with him. During my breaks that week,

“You are right we are never going to let the papers print this monstrosity…so I am going to take Jane to meet the only man in London who can salvage this,” said Grant but Schaefer smiled at him.“I thought that you might say something like that which is the reason that I already took the liberty of calling him down here,” said Schaefer and Jane looked at him in surprise.“You let an unknown man in your lab? In your temple? In this mortuary? I can’t believe that,” said Jane with a shocked look on her face.“Well from what you know about me, making that assumption is pretty normal I would say but there is something different about this man and every homicide detective in Scotland Yard knows this,” said Schaefer as he nodded in the direction of Grant who said yes.“Jones, please ask Victor
