The body lay sprawled on the cracked pavement, only a few meters from the police station. Blood pooled under his head, seeping into the drains, while the neon lights above flickered like they were hiding the truth. No one dared approach. Not yet... It was a worker, cleaning the alley behind the station, who spotted the suitcase first. Curiosity overcame caution, and he knelt to open it. Inside, the stiff form of a young man stared back, eyes wide with unspoken terror. The worker stumbled back, a scream choking in his throat, before fumbling for his phone to call the police, only to know that this scene was taken into action in front of the police station....
Within a few minutes, the area was swarming with officers. The body was lifted carefully, placed on a stretcher, and sent off to the Forensic lab. Question hung in the humid night air like smoke, but answers were nowhere in sight. Someone had done this and the city is already whispered in fear.
Hey Ezra, did you get the forensic report from the lab......?
Leave that report, did you hear from the chief Ronan!....." What?".......
That there will be a new detective from Ravenmoor....Ravenmoor??? "That's gritty dangerous village"....... Yeah!!!!
A group of officers and detectives arrived, their footsteps echoing on the wet pavement, while the two men continued their idle chit-chat, oblivious to the serious storm that had just walked in...
Ezra,
"the chief called him up to the discussion room".......
Yes, chief..." Takes his notes and hurried himself to the discussion room while meeting his eyes with his colleague by meaning that he got himself into a trouble".......
The chief closed the door and started the discussion. The room was filled with a smell of stale coffee and silence. Dim fluorescent lights flickered above, casting long shadows across the cluttered table...... In the silence of the room everyone's focus were on the case murmuring about the murder that took place in front of the police station.... The atmosphere almost felt like the air itself was holding secrets. The chief sighed with an intense reaction.
"Listen everyone the case that happened in the morning was beyond our imagination, so let's be careful and bring evidence to the case and the person who has committed the crime should be punished before the law"......
The atmosphere suddenly changed, the silence murmuring into a suspense silence….
" By the way, the new detective from Ravenmoor has been arrived on the crime scene. I want Alex, Ezra, Lucien black and Darian cross to handle and find the suspect along with Aric"
This made the room filled with talks and noise and murmur about the detectives. Everyone in the room were dismissed from the room and the team was left out in the room with an intense silence among them." suddenly Darian straightened, the weight of authority in his posture, and opened his mouth to speak. But before a word could leave, Alex cut in sharply.
" Why is it always us taking the cases and solving them?" he snapped, eyes flashing. " And yet, the others stroll away all the credits!" Murmurs rippled through the room as the tension thickened, the clash of the pride and frustration hanging over the team like a storm waiting to break.....
Darian's glare cut through Alex's defiance, forcing the room into silence. Every eye shifted as he leaned slightly forward, voice low but commanding.
"Enough," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Let's focus on the case. We have a new detective on board-Let's go meet him and move this forward." The murmurs died completely, replaced by the sharp click of boots and rustle of the papers as the team prepared to follow.
