Meeting Again

PresentIt was 1am, the skies opened up and torrents of water filled all cracks and openings. It was the first rain of the year. A police van and an emergency van zoomed out of Western Ville precinct. Sirens blared and pairs of wipers glided over the windscreens as the vans descended into the heavy rain. It was an emergency. "We should have waited for the rain," Roy shouted loud enough to be heard over the roaring engines and the hailing rain.Shane smirked and remained undeterred as hr sped into the highway. After about 10 minutes, they were at Parker's Avenue in Downey. They rounded a corner and came to a screeching halt right in front of a mansion with a bold inscription, 'No 85'."Here we are," Shane said and took a quick peek into a small note where he had written down the caller's details.The doors opened up. They ventured into the rain. Shane noticed a car that was parked outside before making his way into the compound.The sitting room came into view as the door to the mai

7:00amI had just returned from a week-long vacation. The door was left unlocked which was not unusual. I made my way in and realized that no one was in.I sent a text to my boss and she called me back. After the warm greetings, she instructed me to get some vegetables from the Mart; which I did. When I returned she was back already. She told me that her husband was supposed to visit and she would be the one to do the cooking.We were still having the discussion when Mr Trevor arrived. The couple walked into the bedroom and I retired to my room.I was still settling in when I heard a noise. I ran back into the sitting room and heard the argument. Madam was mad. She said something about her father's death. I think she implied that her husband was involved in her father's death and she would get it all in the open.Mr Trevor became enraged. He struck her hard and bolted out of the house. Madam stormed out right after him. When she met me in the sitting room, she went ballistic and scr

10amShane walked out of the interrogation room. He made his way down to his office and instructed the investigator working with him to dig out information on Esther Zealot.Thereafter, he made his way down to the chief's office."Have you got her testimony? That was fast" The chief said as soon as Shane walked in."I heard there is not going to be an autopsy," Shane said with his hand in his pockets."Yes…the deceased father did not approve of it… it's not like we can force it," the chief responded."Here is the deal sir. If you want me to wrap this up within 48 hours, I need the autopsy report on my table in the next 24 hours!" Shane said evenly and made his way towards the exit."You asshole! Is that a threat?" The chief questioned.Shane turned around and walked towards the chief, "I'm aware of your dealings with Daniel Sawyer…it's not all clean you know… You should make sure you convince him," Shane said and banged the table."What!? You must be crazy!" The chief stuttered."Yes,

3pmShane drove down to the National Forensic Service building. He pulled over and made his way down to the anatomy department.He called Dr Kurz who was in charge of all autopsies that are related to the precinct. Shane made his way to Dr Kurz's office. He knocked at the door and let himself in. Both exchanged pleasantries and discussion began. "I am sorry, Shane, we got no order to carry out the autopsy. Daniel Sawyer refused it outrightly. Well, your chief called in. He told me to stall for time while he tries to convince Mr Daniel but I have yet to hear from him... Daniel Sawyer would be here at any moment to claim the body," Dr Kurz said."Fuck!" Shane yelled and rubbed his hands through his hair in desperation."Can I relate some of my speculations? I mean my deductions," Dr Kurz chipped in."Why not," Shane said and followed after him.Dr Kurz fixed on his gears. He got Shane a nose cover and a pair of gloves and took him into the morgue.Trevor's body was brought out and ins

Nicole remained mute. She cleaned her teary eyes and dropped her head."Yeah it's my book. I wrote it but I have no hand in my husband's death… I don't even know how he died," Nicole muttered."I will put it straight to you. Your husband was poisoned by potassium cyanide and he was stabbed brutally after he had died. Did that ring a bell?" Shane said coldly.Slowly, Nicole raised up her head and trembled. Her eyes radiated fear and she groaned repeatedly."Oh, the deity must have answered your prayers when your father in law refused to go along with an autopsy. Are you scared now?" Shane blurted out."Yes I wrote 'The Cliff' but I did not kill my husband!" Nicole yelled painfully."Do not delay your confession, it could be used against you in court," Shane said and looked towards the screen.The door to the Interrogation room opened up. The chief led atty Lewis and Ruthie in.He signaled to Shane to continue reading and everyone listened.*Brian jumped and turned around swiftly at the
