Unknown

"Lieutenant Hendrick, how's the situation?"

He just sighed and sat down on the chair where he is facing me.

"We couldn't find the tools that the culprit used."

I looked at the crime scene where the cops kept investigating.

"Hey Hendrick,who could it be this time?Do you have any clue?Do you think the one who killed this called Jax is the same who murdered the Gliz Family that I've been in charge of?As you can see, we haven't found the culprit of that case."

"I don't know either, Ash. This time, I also suspect that the culprit is a female. But that's also what happened to the case you had. At first we doubt it's a girl but nobody believed that a girl could do that to a mafia family. That's why I asked you and Kane to re-investigate the case."

"Well, you're right."

He is indeed right. That's why I'm still stuck in the Gliz Family case until now. I have re-investigated the case and just like what he said he suspected that the culprit of this new scene is also a woman.

"You must be tired you need to rest, Ashtrid. I'll call you in the morning if we will find new evidence."

"Lieutenant Hendrick, everybody's tired and everybody doesn't have sleep. You don't have to worry about me. We're all in this."

He just looked away.

"I know. Thank you for your hard work, anyway. I know you're loaded right now since I transferred Kane to Division 3."

"It's not you who transferred him, Lieutenant. It was him who voluntarily transferred to that Division."

"Is that so."

"Since you said that, I'll leave for now. I'll meet you at your office tomorrow then."

I walked away without looking back.

"Be careful on your way home, Detective Ashtrid."

"Yep, I will."

I'm inside my car when a sudden call appears on my phone.

*𝐔𝐍𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐍𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑*

"Unknown? I've already put nicknames in every contact I have. Ah~ never mind maybe this person got the wrong number."

I just ignored it and started the engine.

*20 MINUTES LATER*

"Finally! I could sleep now."

*𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌*

"You, you son of a bit*h. You must die! Die! Die!

"Helene stop it!!"

"No, Ash! Because of him, m-my sister died. He deserves to die!"

"No!!!"

*𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆*𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆*

"GASP,GASP,GASP."

"Sh*t~such a bad dream."

I noticed my head is sweating pretty hard. I wiped it all away and tried to calm myself down as I was gasping air. And, a call surrounded my entire room.

*𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆*𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆*𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐆𝐆*

*𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 "

"Hello."

"Good morning, Detective Ashtrid. Sorry to disturb you."

"No, it's fine. What is it?"

"Lieutenant Hendrick wanted to meet you in his office. Literally, right now."

"I'll be right there."

"Okay."

*𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆—𝐔𝐏*

"What time is it?"

9:36 am.

"What the.."

I quickly wash up and eat the leftover bread that I made yesterday.

"What am I going to do today, anyway?Should I revisit the crime scene?Nah~ let's not think of that now. I need to go now."

I murmured to myself. I quickly got in my car and directly started the engine.

*𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 "

"Good morning, Detective Ash."

"Morning."

"Oh~Ash."

"Kane."

I hugged him since it's been a week since I last met him.

"Did you get a bad sleep?"

"Hahaha! Oh man how did you know that?"

" Nah~ you always have a bad sleep. Guess what? I got good news that could ease your troubled sleep."

"Really?Are you going back to Division 1 now?"

"Haha, is that what you really think that could ease your troubled sleep?"

"Yes, it does. Then if that's not it, what could it be then?"

We continued walking towards Lieutenant Hendrick's office while talking.

"Come on tell me. I guess you are going to come back right?Since you're here in Division 1."

"Hahaha you'll know soon. Let's get inside."

"Good morning Lieutenant Hendrick."

"Oh~good morning Kane. You're here, Ashtrid."

"Yuh."

"Sit down. Let's have a chat."

What could Kane's easing-things for me? And who is this man sitting beside Hendrick?

I looked around the Lieutenant's office and randomly felt this kind of ambience.
