I just checked my watch for the time and it was exactly 9:15 am, I have to hurry up to meet with
Dr Amanda before going for my shift later that morning.
“Good morning Miss Kate” I heard behind me, “good morning” I responded before I could even turn back. A young man in his late twenties in a neat
police uniform was standing right behind me.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement, “how may I help you officer?” I asked.
“Please miss, you have been invited to the polices stationfor a statement.” “Okay,” I answered. With that I entered a journey with an unknown destination.
Back at the station, I was taken to the interrogation room.
“Good morning, Miss Kate, my name is Emma Well and am the detective in charge of the case. So Miss, can you narrate what happened on May 6th?” he asked. I narrated the incident of that night to him.
“Do you remember the place he was going to? or the name of the person he spoke with over the phone?” he asked.
“No” I replied. That was it for today I thought in my mind, let me get this over with and go for medical check-up.
“Did anything happen later that morning?” he asked. “Which morning?” I asked trying to grasp the meaning of that question. “Well nothing much” I replied.
“However, the files I have here said otherwise” he said with a smirk, “anything you’re not telling me?” he asked.
“I had a little altercation with Albert’s mom” I found myself mumbling with realization.
“The report we have said that: you assaulted Mrs Melissa in her house and threatened to kill her.”
“What!?” I shouted, there was no such thing I thought. Then I remembered Melissa’s last words:” Kate you will pay for this.”
As we were talking, detective Emma received a phone call that a search warrant have been issued for my apartment.
Melissa would not let go of a golden opportunity to remove me from Albert’s life.
“Kate” he called, after receiving the second call, “I think you’ll be spending some time with us today and for the next forty-eight hours, if no conclusive evidence is found then you would be free to go then” he said with resignation.
I knew that instant that he was puzzled by the whole incident. “… there are lots of loopholes in the case…” I overheard him saying to the other detective, a female in her thirties who I would later know as Kayla.
Albert is a secret agent, I thought I have made peace with his secret and not interfering with his work.
“If only I had known,” I said with regret,” just if only, I would have paid more attention to his work.”
“Here are your flowers, please sign on it” he continued; that brought me back to reality. Who would bring me flowers on a day like this? I thought; whatever.
On looking up it was a red rose, something about it made me want to throw up. Who would gift me a rose flower?
At this time all the officers were watching me from behind the interrogation room probably trying to decipher my reaction.
I clearly saw Melissa there making a scene. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, however I couldn’t help but imagine the slanderous comments she would be making about me.
It is another Monday, I was literally curled up on my bed being awake almost all night. I haven’t had any sleep since the night that Albert kissed me goodbye. “Baby” he said, “I will miss you but I will be back in few hours time.” It has been over six hours since then; I have called him countless times without response, worst the phone is now off. I slept off during my waiting, I believed that maybe he was held in traffic or something else. Albert is the man that changed my fate after we met. I have been in various relationships since my teenage years. “I am back baby,” he said. “What have kept you since for many hours, I was really worried about you.” Then I turned around and found out that it was all a dream. I was more nervous than ever, I quickly left my apartment and went to the frontage. I checked my time and it was already 4:05am I was more baffled than I was befo
Something about this flower turned me pale, it must be “him” I thought, how did he know where I am?Has he been keeping tabs on me? I could see detective Emma trying to plead my cause maybe.The smirk disappeared and he was full of concern.“Kate” he called as he sat on the chair opposite me, “this is my partner...Kayla” she answered with a smile.“Every clue counts in this investigation, you have to be honest with us” she said with a tone that gave away her suggestion.“The flowers?” I asked out of curiosity, the looks in their eyes betrayed their thoughts: “she is really warming up to this.” “Well, that is too personal” I retorted.“You don’t have to be afraid Kate,” Emma said. “Even if you have another boyfriend apart from Albert it will not conclusively determine that you were involved with
Emma’s POVI just received a call during patrol to call in a lady for questioning. “ I heard she assaulted one Melissa who is her boyfriends mom” said Kayla, my partner.“Moreover, she continued; her boyfriend is missing since 10 pm yesterday.”“What a bitch” I thought… the nudge from Kayla brought me back to reality. “So, where to?” I asked.“No 6, Sparrows avenue” she responded.I sped up to the destination. Let me introduce myself. My name is Emma Well. Standing at 1.85m , well built with blonde hair, I am every lady’s heartthrob; which have made me a well known playboy.However, when it comes to my work, I am very meticulous and perceptive: both qualities have made me one the most outstanding detectives in my division.For some reasons, I felt awkward and shy about this lady… what is wrong w
Emma’s POV This news about search warrant baffled me: Melissa is a well known attorney, she must have pulled some strings. I have to be professional and give her the information. Afterwards, I saw her doe eyes turn cloudy; she’s obviously irate and frustrated by that. I have to do something today… I have a feeling that this case is a huge conspiracy, moreover a possible evidence have been collected from her apartment. “… you will have to stay with us for the next forty-eight hours…” I said to her and with that I left to execute my plan. Outside the interrogation room, I saw Melissa talking with other officers and the Captain. She said a lot of things about Kate, though they were not related to the case she was making her out to be a “total whore”. “Hello, Vin can you doe a favor?”, “What’s it man?” He asked. “Please I want the samples to be analyzed by Lynn,” I pleaded. “Okay man,” he replied at t
Emma’s POV The next morning , I was ecstatic; beaming with joy. “You’re one lucky guy bro,” it was Stanley. “Hey bro, I responded. We chatted briefly before the breakfast and I took off. I can’t wait to get back to office this morning. I have already put a call across to Kayla. We have to hurry before the forty-eight hours elapse. On getting to the office, I quickly exchanged pleasantries with my colleagues and I rushed to meet Kate. I was there for few seconds watching her sleep. “Good morning dear,” I greeted her, I was shocked when she responded: “morning babe.” My reaction was involuntary, I desperately tried to hide my astonished and satisfactory smile. Before I could respond, she definitely made a closure. In that second, I wanted to just feel good about myself. Kayla’s POV Emma called m
TV NEWS “… Bringing you the update on the missing person’s case, the name is Albert Connor-Mckinney; a government agent who went missing on May 6th, here you can see the body already bloated, it has been three days. He was killed and dumped in the incinerator at the redevelopment site down the street… evidence show that he was probably stabbed before he was shot dead. Even after he died, the assailant continued the assault: an overkill; which shows that the murder is a crime of passion and revenge. … People are suggesting that the girlfriend could possibly be an accomplice… as of now, no further information have been verified now, we will keep you updated, June Hall reporting.” Emma’s POV I looked at the devastated Kate, I knew she was going through a tough time; I gotta do something to help. So I decided to leave with Kayla to the crime scene  
Emma’s POV I really have to reinvestigate the crime scene, am sure that we might be missing one or two clues. I have put to put a team together to ensure the success of this investigation. I turned it over in mind since that day on May 6th, it is already three days; thank God the scene was sealed off. “Who are my going to add to the team?” I pondered. Then I concluded on adding Lynn and Vin to my team. This case must be resolved, I said with all determination. “The time is 6am,” it’s my alarm clock. I just got up and freshened up for the case. The prosecution have already called Kate to court for aggravated assault and trespassing this can’t be delayed any longer. Melissa will definitely use this opportunity to keep her in jail and bias the mind of the jury in the murder case trial. Vin’s POV Being a detective for several years, I have come across many puzzles, but this case seems to be deeper than what the facts are presenting.
Chris’ POV I am really pissed this morning. What the fuck? This man was not looking where he was going. “Just mind your way” I said in response to his pleading. When I realized he was an officer and asked for my ID the only thing in my mind was run! I laughed as I saw them in hot pursuit with the patrol car, I will show them how we run the streets. Soon I lost their car, I have to quickly report to the boss. Emma’s POV We lost the vehicle, “that guy must be a gangster” I thought out aloud. “He sure is” everyone said in agreement. At least we now know there’s more to the story. Vin’s POV “We have to request for official reinvestigation guys” I said, everyone agreed. I know the sheriff will give us an earful when we back to the station. Kayla’s POV I found out something interesting on the scene: shoe prints about the size of 45-47. The accomplice must be at least 6ft tall. “ Here are torn clothes stained with bloo
