After 8 years, Shane met his highschool crush; Nicole Colgate but this time, they met as a detective and a murderer. Nicole allegedly murdered her husband. Shane has just 48 hours to unravel the truth. He put away all sentiments and dug into the case. All evidence pointed at Nicole as the culprit. The most convincing evidence was that Nicole, who was a renowned writer, brutally murdered her husband in a replica of the murder in her latest book. After Nicole's imprisonment, Shane's gut feeling persisted. He visited Nicole in prison and took the call to re- investigate. He was caught up in the embers of his undying passion for Nicole as he unveiled the truth
View MoreTwo Months LaterIt was late in the afternoon. Shane was busy with some files when the intercom beeped. He went for it and realized it was the chief."Come to my office," the chief commanded.Shane made his way down and presented himself before the chief."It's Trevor's burial today… Daniel invited me, I want you to go with me," the chief said."Oh, really!?" Shane asked in astonishment"Yeah," the chief responded."I thought he had been buried earlier.. Alright, I will get prepared," Shane said and made his way out.Men of timbre and caliber attended Trevor's burial. Daniel had invited all and sundry. At first he, pretended like he wanted a quiet assemblage and a solemn burial for his son but it was all a camouflage. He actually wanted the news that his only son was murdered by his wife to travel far and wide. Public sentiment was one of his tools.He received condolences from friends and family as they trooped in in their kinds and numbers.As they all sat to feast, different factio
It was late in the night. A famous bar downtown roared with life as the homicide squad celebrated. The police chief, Roy, investigator Jang, Shane and a few boys in the squad were all present. The chief had taken them all to party. The just concluded homicide case marked a milestone in the division's history. This was because the case shook the country as those who were involved were children of the big wigs.Above all, just within 24 hours, the squad was able to come up with convincing evidence that substantiated the fact that Nicole indeed murdered her husband."That damn dirty liar, I never knew she could be the culprit," Roy said."You did it again, Shane! You untangled the lies and unravelled the truth," investigator Jang applauded."Isn't it absurd? She murdered her own husband just like one of her novel characters…holy crap! Thinking about it gives me goosebumps," Roy said and sipped a shot from his drink."You achieved a feat, Shane. I think I can trust you with great works.
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
7am Nicole was led into the interrogation room at Shane's order. She gasped as she met Shane already seated. She took her seat in trepidation and Shane began."I was really surprised when I realized that you are Sandy Mills. Do you know why? It's because Sandy Mills is my favorite author of mystery novels. You always got me hooked even from the first sentence.Guess what? I have a copy of your latest mystery novel 'The Cliff'. I like everything about it, it's a great piece of art but little did I know that the brain behind this mastery is a psycho!" Shane yelled."You wanna listen to an interesting story?" Shane asked and brought up the novel."I read this all through the night and I am not mistaken," he said and opened up the novel. He stopped at the page where a peculiar murder took place and he began to read out loud and clear.All those watching in the screen room paid rapt attention.*Brian pulled into the parking lot and made his way into Anita's apartment. He checked his wri
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
1:00 pm"Boss, we are being tailed," Roy said to Shane."You're sure?" Shane asked."Yes, the black SUV behind…it has been on our tail since we hit the road," Roy responded.Shane looked into the mirror and noticed the car. At a closer look he realized that the car was filled up with goons."Let's try to get the plate number," he said and Roy slowed down. Just as Roy did, the SUV rammed into them from behind.The car swayed out of control and veered into the bush.Mrs Zealot cried out in fear and Roy grunted in pain.Shane pulled himself up. He displaced Roy and jumped into the driver's seat.Few men from the SUV bolted out of the car and made their way towards the trio.Shane took control of the car. He maneuvered it out of the ruins and hit the road before the men could get to them. "Secure the woman! They are after her… we're outnumbered!" Shane yelled."Copy," Roy responded."What is going on?" Mrs Zealot asked agitatedly.Shane put on the siren and bursted into full speed. The
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,
8:00 amNicole fidgeted as the crowd swarmed in. They chorused different questions and she shuddered as she tried to avoid them.The police officers shielded her from the crowd and led her safely into the interrogation room.Shane was waiting. His back was turned against the table as he leafed through some leaves of paper.He turned around as soon as Nicole was led in. Nicole looked around and her gaze fell on Shane."Shane Wilbert?" She called out in disbelief."Why are you here? What the heck is going on?" Nicole asked dryly."You still don't get it. I am detective Shane and you are under arrest for the murder of your husband; Trevor Sawyer..." "Shut the crap! What the hell are you talking about?" Nicole challenged heatedly. She sprang to her feet but she felt dizzy and sat down slowly."You have the right to an attorney and you have the right to remain silent. Your testimony can stand against you in the court of law," Shane said and took his seat "Stop the gibberish…where is my h
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
