chapter 1

"Victim's name Jack Raynor, he was 39 years old and his job...is still unknown"

Robert said by finishing his report to us. Today was like any other day as an officer currently located at a region between two opposite gangs.

"Hey... Heather, may i have a moment with you? "

Robert said silently so he could speak privately with her, away from the crowd.

"Look, i know that we by all means need to state the truth in our reports, but... I intentionally didn't mention the victum's job. I mean... the age and all, matches the profile we already have, so some may have already noticed..."

Heather interrupted him because they had been missing for quite some time, only making them look suspicious.

"Come on, Robert! We don't have the time of the world. If it's something important, you have to at least tell me"

He took a moment to speak. Making sure no one could see or hear them since he did lie.

Taking a breath, he admitted

"He is the leader of the infamous gang the Lions, the one who murdered hundreds during the conflict between the two gangs 9 years ago."

Heather was socked. They had been chasing that very leader only for him to be found dead in front of them. Something wasn't right.

"How did a powerful person like him end up dead?" She muttered, confused to herself.

"Ok Robert, good job. I will be taking up from here. If someone asks you anything, you simply won't know, you have pretty much finished your part here by stating your report."

The officers at the scene started leaving after the corpse was taken at the station for further examination.

They had to leave before anyone started questioning their leaving, especially since they were together.

As Robert was about to leave, he felt Heather's hand on his back. He knew she was about to do something but didn't know what.

He stopped there nervously since officers could spot them. He turned his head slowly only to see Heather moving in front of him.

"Heather, what do you think you are -"

He didn't even have the chance to finish.

"Good job, Officer Robert. You can now return back to the station and complete your report."

She loudly said, wanting to attract the attention of others. Heather couldn't risk being seen or not, so she took matters in her own hands by causing a tiny ruckus.

And it worked...

"There you are guys, we have been looking for you. Were you discussing about the case. Looks like a tough one... Anyway, Robert, i think you are pretty much dismissed by Heather. Keep up the good work."

That was exactly how Heather wanted things to turn out. Not looking suspicious since they were secretly talking about the case and Robert making an excellent report.

After a while, everyone left, including Robert, leaving Heather behind with the excuse of checking the crime scene for one last time.

Now that she was alone, she could finally check the scene herself.

Meanwhile

A motorcycle parked far enough from Heather, so it wouldn't be found out . The person there didn't seem dangerous. They were just looking at Heather...
