THE STRANGE OBSERVATION Officer Josh has always suspected something fishy with the way the young lad David acts each time they come for interrogation with any member of the family. Of course he has worked for much stronger cases and he knows when the architect of a crime is trying to either implicate others or run away from the truth. He squinted his eyes a bit while sitting in the tinted SUV. This is definitely a case he is very much interested in and if only he can prove his superiors wrong he would get the promotion. He pulled out the monster drink from the cooling flask and cracked the crown open. He had been giving new teammates to work with instead of the other officers assigned him before and now that the case was getting really serious there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. Nine years of working with the FBI was no damn joke. This is the only way he had to prove his intelligence and this was the first time leading a team on his own. “I don’t think we wou
Broken “What was that about?” Betty asked, giving Rowan a suspicious look. She stared straight into his eyes, and out of guilt, Rowan looked away. “What do you mean?”.Rowan inquired as he wiped the invincible dirt off the white bed cover with his hand before sitting comfortably on the edge of the bed. “I saw the way you looked at her, Rowan. Don't act dumb with me." She barked at him like he was some kid from the kindergarten a few blocks away. “I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't care. Alright, can I just have my peace? Rowan requested with his hands raised in frustration. “I saw the way you looked at her. You still love, don't you?” Betty pestered. She moved up to him and sat by his side. “Drop it, Betty. I just need to be alone.”Rowan protested. “Wait! Are you asking me out of your house?”. Betty asked coldly. She searched his face for any trace of unseriousness, but it seems Rowan was even more serious than she thought he was. “You can sit anywhere,
I HAVE NO IDEA The moment David saw the officers approaching the building his countenance changed. The first knock on the door made him curl up in bed. He had seen them drive into the yard from his window. “What the fuck are they doing here this early?” He had questions in his heart as he curled up in bed. He has no fear and whatever they were here for they were going to make the decision of finding it or leaving without proof. He had proposed in his heart to stay in bed not until his father came in to call him. “Son the police are here and they need you for some questioning”. His father told him in a very cold tone. “What do you mean, the police are here for questioning. We know nothing about the case and that's it!”. David snapped His broad shoulders rolling on the bed as he drags the comforter over his head. “Come on now. Keeping them waiting means we are hiding something”. Patrick said. “And what exactly could that be? Dad, we have absolutely nothing to hide from
I DON'T LIKE HIM Grandma sat on her couch with legs stretched forward when David entered the living room. “Have you come with any evidence?” grandma asked David the moment she caught sight of David walking inside. “I don't have yet”. David answered. “Then why are you here? If Maven is responsible for what happened like you said then you should have some sort of evidence to back up your points isn't that so David?” Grandma didn't raise her up at him for a second. “I have plans to dig out the truth from her. Trust me when I say this is all Maven's plan to run off with the company funds”. David was very much assertive. “You can't be so sure”. Grandma raised her eyes to look at him for a minute. “Look I have seen games like this play out and the Maven that I know is too weak to.plan such except ahw is getting help from someone”. Grandma's eyebrows were raised to the peak as she spoke about Maven. “Things like this should be investigated before being brought out. Maven has n
EVERYONE'S A SUSPECT Maven was seated on her lush sit, stretching from long hours of working when the knock came on her door. With the secret guards Thomas had mounted at her door she isn’t scared of having any nonchalant visit from her uncles or David. Grandma seldom shows up in the office during working hours so she isn’t scared at all. When the door opens and she finds Officer Joshua strolling in, his intimidating figure maneuvering its ways through the door, she had a brilliant smile starched on her face waiting to receive him. “Good day Ms. Taylor, you seem to have a very busy day”. He spoke to her. “Good afternoon officer Josh. Any update yet?” She asked him with her eyes dancing and taking his face at the same time for a hint that would console her doubts. If her family name isn’t cleared out from the heavy lips of bloggers it was going to be a lifetime stigma on them. For now no client or investor had threatened to withdraw operations and she could tell that they were al
A HINTOfficer Joshua looked over at the time on his phone. Just a little past four seven O’clock in the evening/ He’d taken a short dinner while he awaited Raymond’s call for the evening operation they had landed out.Opening the drawer in front of him right by the side of his bed in a little country old home. He sighs in relief, relating to the stress and pain he has to face to get the truth from all his investigations. The cell phone on the short night stand suddenly begins to chime like a little baby toy.He looks over, stretching his legs and hands out of place to get the phone. Apparently there is nothing he could do about David at the moment until he is sure with evidence of course. He grabs the cell phone and places it to his ear. “Hello” he speaks in a very clear but croaky tone.‘Well, I have been waiting for your call, give me a minute’. He spoke into the phone before letting it lay down on the stand again. Rushing to his wardrobe with the speed of light he grabs his cloak
THIS IS NOT THE TIMEJoshua was out of the door before Ray could know it.“The idiot doesn’t even want to wait for me any longer”. He says as he staggers to get up from his seat. Rushing out of the cold and cozy room he brushes the empty can off the table and when he gets to the hallway he hurries to meet Josh.“You can’t come with me like this”. Josh said, running a quick eye on his colleague who is now a mess.“Why can’t I come with you? I am very strong and I can see everything clearly”. He answered by wiping off the stains of liquor from his mouth.Joshua places his hand on Ray’s neck, studying his face for another minute to be sure he isn’t hallucinating. “No buddy, look at you, all drowsy and sleepy, it won’t tell well of our profession.” As he spoke his hand ran through the pocket. He pulls out his wallet and counts a few dollar notes.“She is a hundred bucks, get a taxi”. He said and patted him on the shoulder before jumping into the van.“But you can’t go on this alone—”Ray s
DEEP INVESTIGATION Josh has the desk littered with files and documents and pictures from the scene. He’d had a sleepless night trying to add one or two dots together. There is no way a CIA will have no clue on a case like this and from the words of the victim’s wife he had listened keenly, everyone now thinks Maven is the cause of this. But to get the facts straight she is actually innocent. He rummaged through the files tracing a finger on the list he had in his hand. His eyes fixated on the paper that he didn’t notice Ray had walked in. “Still on the case?” He asked, causing Joshua to look up for the very first time in a long while. “It’s draining man, take a look, new stories every day and the suspects did a great job in hiding all the tracks,” he answered with drooling shoulders.“Do you think we can even make a convincing report this week? The state Sheriff wants to know how far we’ve gone with investigations and you know how cruel he can be when it comes to matters like this
