The bread knife stuck in Jon doe’s chest had an unusual pattern, I grabbed a camera from the nearest person and clicked a few pictures of the design “Email them to me.” I said as I was handing the camera back to them. It looked ancient and rare, not the usual bread knifes you’d find at our local stores here in Seattle. I looked up to find a detective watching my every move, it seemed that his one side of the face looked sunken in, similarly you only see this in people who don’t have teeth, which prompted me to look into his mouth, to find that all of his teeth had been pulled out. I sighed loudly and said “well, here goes our identification route of checking dental records, this body was left in the hopes that no identification will be made!” Craning my neck to have a look at the coroner who had just arrived on scene, I recalled working with her once before on another case when I first started as a rookie, Dr Leslie Adams is an expert in her field and one of the most professional and efficient woman. She looked down at me, and stated “Detective Rush you do know that the body you are looking at has been dead for more than 3 days, and also looks as if it was stored in a body freezer before being planted at this scene” I shook my head and realised that this is getting more intense by the second, “I hadn’t realised so Doc, that’s the reason we have you here, to help me solve the mystery “- I said whilst walking up to her, I held out my hand and gave her hand a firm handshake.
View MoreIt all started in the summer of 2018, with the mysterious disappearance of the two wealthiest men in Seattle.
As written by Seattle Daily, “An unidentified body was found in the apartment of the richest most eligible bachelors in Seattle, The Hudson brothers who at this point are presumed the main suspects in this investigation whose whereabouts are currently unknown..”
The blonde beauty sipped on her morning coffee while reading Seattle Daily, Downing the rest of her liquid drug in one huge gulp, she tied up her long blonde curls into a bun at the top off her head while sighing, two missing billionaires tofind and a murder case to solve, just another day at the office.
It has been exactly 24 hours since Grayson and James Hudson have been missing and a dead body has been found in their pent house. The circumstances around their suspicious suddendisappearance makes it even more of a challenge to work on finding their spoiled asses, keeping all information on the down low has been the biggest challenge thus far. The media are like hungry lions waiting to pounce on any small piece of information.
“Detective Rush, I’d like to have a word with you in my office” The Captain of the Seattle police department had been leaning on the side of my desk while giving me an indescribable look. I gave him a sharp nod and closed up my files which contain all of the Hudson’s information.
I knocked lightly on the door, making my presence known before stepping in through the semi opened wooden door. The atmosphere of the office was tense and sat in the office was Captain Braugher along with Lieutenant Jackson. I greetedboth of them, “Please have a seat, Jessica” said the Captain in an anxious voice, hearing the tone of his voice had me sitting faster than a blink of an eye.
I directed my attention to the huge white board on the far left wall off the office and on it were pictures of the dead body in the Hudson brothers apartment, along with pictures of the Hudson men and their staff. Those who were with the Hudson men last before their disappearance were circled blue which meant they will be called in first for questioning and they would be monitored on our radar 24/7, actually everyone who has ever associated themselves with the Hudson men in the last two weeks before their sudden disappearances is on our suspect list.
Everyone is considered a suspect until proven otherwise.
Grayson Hudson had first laid eyes on the blond woman at the police award ceremony that was held at the Vintage, the medal adorned the neck of an absolutely beautiful woman, he had never seen such beauty since his mother had passed on eleven years ago. He had been so mesmerized by her, he could not stop his gaze from drifting back to her. She had been dressed in black, which made her hair stick out more, such a contrast from the rest of her clothing, it flowed down her back in waves. Her lips had been tainted a deep shade of red. She had been extremely pale as compared to his tanned self. As the night had progressed he became more tempted, he wanted to ride the elevator up to his apartment tonight with their arms and lips tangled and they did just that. Walking up to the bar where the beautiful enchanting woman had been nursing a glass of red wine, I took a seat next to her. Weighing my options I could lead with a cheesy pick-up line or buy her a drink, I decided to throw bo
I felt a strange sense of nerves that I haven’t felt since my first investigation, a lot had been riding on this. I needed to find the twins and as the hours go by without a call for ransom or a breakthrough the lesser chance we have of finding them… alive that is. My heart was thrumming in my chest as I tied my hair into a messy bun, I watched closely on the CCTV monitor as Edward rounded the corner on the sixth floor getting closer to the stairwell while he ran his fingers through his hair a few times and tried his best to soothe his nerves. I needed something, anything to help us find who was behind the master plan of kidnapping the twins or at least where they kept the twins. Daniel hadn’t said much even after Edward left the room, we worked in comfortable silence. Waiting for Edward’s friend to take the bait. There had been five of them who had been hired by someone to pull of this so-called job and unfortunately, Edward had only been in char
One thing had become very apparent tonight, Edward Rodriguez did not have a high pain tolerance “Tell me, Ed, were you the one who was responsible for the power outages throughout the day and night, or was that one of your buddies?” he whimpered as I pushed the barrel of my gun into his knee cap showing him, I was extremely serious about shooting him in the leg. “It was me, it was me! I caused the power outages, I was paid to do it.” Edward yelled when I cocked my gun and aimed. I didn’t think it would be this easy to get him to confess. “Who paid you to do it?” I questioned even though I was certain it had been the Hudsons’s maternal family in Brazil who paid Edward and his buddies a large sum of money to pull this off for them, I’m also certain that large sum of money included a fee for their police troubles, I doubt Edward will give me this information without a bit of persuasion from my end. “This is the last time I’m asking you nicely Edward Rodriguez.” I knelt closer t
I sipped on my glass of red wine, looking over at Edward, he had sharp features and a slight stubble “So Edward, do you miss home?” I asked while shifting closer on the bed. Trying to make him think that I had ulterior motives instead of just an innocent conversation, well I did have an ulterior motive which consisted of me getting more information out of him then bringing him to the station, I couldn’t just bring him in based on a hunch unfortunately, law did not work that way. It completely repulsed me to have to flirt with this unknown man.“I do get homesick from time to time but it does help that a few of my friends and I came to the United States for the same purposes.” replied Edward he gave me a flirty smile one that didn’t quite reach his green eyes, exactly as I suspected he did bring help from Brazil, now we just have to wait for him to slip up and say something he definitely shouldn’t be saying.I glanced over at th
As I read over Edward Rodrigues background that Justin had sent to me, the puzzle pieces had started to piece together. Edward Rodrigues had applied for the student Visa 5 months ago, around the same time that Tristen had mentioned earlier today that Grayson and James maternal family started to reach out to them, to build bonds and well of course to join businesses.According to the employee records Edward Rodrigues wasn’t on the night shift the night of the kidnapping so he wasn’t called in for questioning. The camera footage I had been going through placed him at the hotel throughout the day and night, I texted Justin and told him about the potential lead as well as my plans for the night.The design on the bread knife did originate from Brazil according to our research, it does seem like the twins maternal family would have something to do with their kidnapping, maybe Edward Rodriguez was hired by the Oliveira’s but he had to have had help to
I heard Justin inhale sharply before saying “The cause of death had been poison, an extremely rare type of poison, this man had been dead for five days before the kidnapping, he also had a number of broken ribs, missing one finger and multiple stabs in his leg which would suggest that he had been tortured then poisoned after he died he had been beaten up more beyond recognition and dumped at The Vintage.” Who used poison to kill? After torturing someone so much, why not use a different method, I know it seemed cruel but poison wasn’t a usual method especially if you’re going to beat torture and beat them after they’re already dead.“Track down the poison.” I said to Justin as I headed back to my apartment around 6 pm, I had been stuck in traffic and my irritation grew a hundred folds, none of it made sense. Why leave a dead body after taking the twins, I can only think of one reason why anyone would kidnap the twins, ransom.Wh
