Chapter 18Jay POV"Mama Coco,just tell him,how will they catch the culprit if you hide her story?" Betty was helping me convince her."Her story shouldn't be heard,I don't want the culprit to be caught. He helped clear a lot of mess." Mama coco closed her eyesBetty pleaded and pleaded but she wasn't gonna tell."Mama coco,we need to find the culprit. The victim from the last 3 weeks needs justice. If the culprit isn't found, how will give her justice?" I use the last card I had.She slowly opened her eyes"Right Diana is innocent,she shouldn't be killed that way and the only way to make her rest in peace is to catch her culprit" I nodded and she looked down and fixed her eyes on the flowers planted beside the house."Gwen i must say is the most disgusting human being I have ever seen,she pretend to be mother Theressa in the day and a whore in the night""She helped women with house and feeding but pleasured herself with their husband behind their back. They thought she was doing the
Chapter 19Jay POVI yawned and stretched. we finally arrived in New York."Drake, Drake" I nudged him and he opened his eyes and closed it.I slapped him across his face and he woke up startled."We've arrived " Drake looked around and nodded,we took our bags and prepared to leave."Don't forget to come over to my café" the old woman remained"I definitely will," Drake vowed while I shaked my head.We came down off the train and started looking for the officers that were supposed to welcome us."Why are you ignoring me?" Drake askedI kept shut and continued looking."Jay""Jay am talking to you" I still ignored him."Because you cracked a few cases you must feel on top of the world" he scoffs,I don't know Drake is this stupid."You still don't get it,do you? You let us out and we might…." Before I could complete what I was trying to say.I heard a loud horn and screams from the crowd then aloud scream and just like that someone was gone."Did...did...you see...that?" Drake was sweat
Chapter 20Jay POV"Drake let go" "No""Drake I need to see that man's condition" I almost pushed it away.He reluctantly let go of my arm and I crawled to the man that was shot.I felt his pulse,he's still alive, that was a relief.I tore his shirt and covered the bullet wound.It needs to be removed but we can't right now.I can hear children crying and women wailing,the men were trying to be strong though."Careful Jay" Drake yelled and I rolled on the floor away from the man who got shot.The bullet hit where I was earlier and I breathed in relief."I'm with the police everyone, backup will come in 10 minutes just hold on" I showed my ID and took out my phone."Jane,we need backup,the address is….""Sweet pastries right? we are on the way" she answered before I could continue."5 minutes,just give me 5 minutes," she added."Ok,we are waiting" I hung up and looked in the direction where the shots were coming from.It's a tall building opposite the pastries shop but I can't see or t
Chapter 21Jay POV"Jay""Drake you got this" Jane encouraged us,I smiled. I know she's trying to make us feel less nervous. I'm not that nervous though,I have been in gambling den though as a gangster not this way. Drake was already sweating,he looked like someone I don't know.His mask was that of a man in "Stop sweating,your mask might fall off" Jane chuckled."Really? Gosh" he started blowing himself with his hand."I was joking" Jane let out a laugh and I also giggled."You must be having fun teasing me" Drake hissed and looked out of the window.The car became silent,only the music from the radio and Jane humming along."We are here" Jane announced and parked in front of the snooker court."Are you cameras in place?" She asked and I touched the camera on my button."In position" Drake nodded"The Bluetooth?"I touched my ear and the small ear bud was there."Ready? Here" she lifted a big bag and threw it at me.I caught it and opened it.Drake snuck in cold breath"Tha
Chapter 22 Jay POV"Gabriel let's go" I urged Drake and winked at the lady.She clutched her fist,biting her lips,she must want to kill me."Let's play next time" Drake took the bag from me and we slowly marched towards the VVIP."Hi ladies and gentlemen" I sat and crossed my legs.we are 7 on this table including me.I looked around and raised my brow when I saw that business man on the train with me.'He's also here? Maybe he wasn't a business man after all' I thought "Henry, right?" One out of the two women here smiled at me."Yes I'm Henry" She looked at least in her forties, and the other was a red -haired lady,she must be black.She also might be in her forties.The 3 men,the business man,a man in his glasses and the most eye-catching out of all.He might at least be my age mate,his hair is dyed in green,he was chewing gum,and his body was covered with tattoos. He must be a great gambler for him to be in VVIP."You were good,that I can't help but want to play with you" he blew
Chapter 23Jay POV "Where did you think you were going?" I blocked the lord who was about to escape with Dio. "Out of my way" The lord yelled."Why would I?" I sneered. The lord signals to two of his bodyguards to attack me.I smirked and watched them move closer. The first one threw a punch but I saw it coming so I dodged and caught his arm.I kicked him in the knee cap and dropped him to the floor.I rushed the second one and punched him before he could respond.I hit him in the joint of his shoulder and he fell immediately.The lord was already getting away so I followed him. Both him and Dio passed through a door by the back of the den,the door was small and you wouldn't notice it if you didn't look at it carefully.I also went through the day and it led to the back of the snooker court.there are many doors in here and it connected to the court in one way or the other. I saw many police cars in front of the court.I wanted to run to it before but I dismissed the thought and
Chapter 24Jay POV We are on our way back to the station.Jane has been quiet and she seems deep in thought.The chief of police at the back of the car with handcuffs also lowered his head.Who would have thought he was the mastermind, the one behind the illegal gambling den.No wonder the police find it hard to catch them.they always slip away.The commissioner of police is waiting for us at the station.He was shocked when Jane called and told him.We got to the station and took the Lord and Dio to a different cell.While the chief of police himself was locked up at some other cell.Since my work in New York is done,it is time to start preparing to leave."Drake let's go back and start packing" I patted him as he was interested in the investigation going on in the team.Jane got another case to deal with and Drake is interested."Wait,let me….""We have to leave Drake" I pulled him along with me. As we were leaving,I saw the officers who looked down on us the other day now looking at
Chapter 25Jay POV"What if it a suicide?" Frank looked drained and sleep deprived; he must be working endlessly on the missing thumb case since I left."And what if it is not?" Ariel was writing on the board while I sat analyzing the case."So here is the thing,Sera and David have been married for 20 years but they had no kid, the hospital result showed there's nothing wrong with both of them.David doesn't mind but Sera was bothered and can do anything just to have a kid. From the statements,it said Sera don't mind dying to have a kid,and last night she suddenly committed suicide" Ariel paused and saw we are all listening so she continued. "She committed suicide by cutting her wrist with a new razor,and left a suicide note but the most strange thing is that her room was locked from inside and her husband was found beside her. But he knocked out and when he woke up,his wife was already gone.He went crazy and insisted his wife did not commit suicide.He reported the case to the p
