Chapter 4

Duke sits facing Anna who is dressed in clothing much like Aisha's. Her long blonde hair tied in a ponytail. Before them lies some documents in a brown envelope. On it sits Anna's black HP laptop.

"Anna we don't even know the face of this man. How do you expect us to have a lead in this case?" Duke says.

His hands running through his Golden brown hair. It's been a week with nothing to push them an inch closer to finding this criminal. Surprisingly, Gordon hasn't called him to ask how everything is going.

Perhaps he's giving them time to work their own things out.

But he had better found something before his patience runs out. He doesn't seem ready to have an angry Gordon breathing down his neck.

"Look, we need to start digging in deep." Duke says with a tone of certainty.

" And where exactly do you suspect we look?" Anna asks. Duke totally puzzled on an answer to give.

" We could check out abandoned warehouses. I mean that is exactly where they mostly hide. Clear abandoned places where people have no business checking out. You know, like in the movies." He answers with a smirk.

" Yeah. Except, this is not a movie. You think you could just barge into an abandoned warehouse and find a cranky man sitting on a pile of money saying hey, I'm a wealthy criminal who steals precious jewellery for a living? I wonder how you got to be detective."

"You're questioning my skills now?"
"Just listen to what I have to say, alright?" Duke sighs and relaxes his body on the bench.

Anna's fingers tap softly on the keyboard of the computer. Her eyes gazed upon the screen.

"I found something I thought you would like to see." She said, turning the computer screen towards Duke who looks without a care.

" Grand ball at the tower of London to celebrate the wedding of Prince harry and Megan. What has this got to do with a criminal case?

"This!!" Anna says, pointing to the crown on the screen.

"The crown Jewell. Its a grand ball open to people from all countries. Its a grand invitation. Plus, they're exhibiting the Crown Jewell."
"So?" Duke asks, totally confused.

" Don't you think a grand thief will be lurking around, for hopefully any valuable jewell to steal?"

"Anna its going to be under heavy security. There is no way anyone is going to get any chance at stealing the crown."

" Do you think the first lady's chamber was open wide when she had her safari necklace stolen?"

"what are you trying to say?
"I think we should check it out. We could find something."
"And if we dont?" Duke says, folding his arms unto his chest.

"Would you stop being so pessimistic? This could be our only chance in getting a step close." Duke looks her in the eye. Her sea blue eyes, almost turned golden due to the light from the sunset.

Her golden hair reflects and blends in with the golden rays of the setting sun, leaving her face with a glamorous Golden glow.

Her pink lips highlighted in a golden gloss. She is beautiful indeed. Duke stands from the bench and signals Anna to follow him.

He leads her to a part of the park where there seems to be no one. At least no one within their range to see them. Duke leans in to her and kisses her. It turns into a powerful smooch.

Kissing her neck and rubbing his hands on her buttocks. "Yeah" he moans.
"Yeah? You mean we can check it out?" Anna asks suprised.

He snaps to see Anna with a look of curiosity looking directly at him. He was day dreaming again.
"Uhhh yeah, sure." He says, totally confused.

"Great. The ball is in two days. We leave tomorrow, if that's okay with you." She says as she packs up the documents.

" Yeah sure. He says, trying to forge a smile."
Alright. See ya tomorrow." She sais, and leaves.

.....

Duke slams the door and walks straight to his work desk. He drops heavily into the chair with a sigh.

Charlotte doesn't seem to be in the room. Then he sits up, brushing his hands through his hair.

Would've been a great day if what he daydreamed about was to be real. Anna is gorgeously beautiful. She fits perfectly well for first place in his chain of many girlfriends. Charlotte has the lead now.

But he could shift her to second place and Anna would stand first. That would make twelve ladies.

Easier said than done. Anna seems smart. Will take a little more effort to trap her in his web.

He falls back into the chair and notices his telephone beeping red. There is a voicemail. He clicks a button on it and Charlotte's voice sounds.

Beep!
"Hey sweetie. I'm off to see my uncle in Miami. I'll be back in three days. Call me when you get this message." Beep!

Three days is quite some time. He could work up something on Charlotte with this time period.

..........

Aisha sits in front of her make up table,Starring at herself in a large mirror. Her eyes start to water and tears flow down her cheeks as pictures of her parents flash through her head. She remembers hearing the gunshot from downstairs.

She runs down to the stairs and hides behind behind a pillar. She has a clear view of things. She spots her mum lifeless on the ground and luigi pointing a gun at her father.

The gun sounds again and her father's body falls to the ground. She doesn't make a sound and luigi leaves.

Aisha wipes the tears off her face with the back of her hand and presses a button below the table.

The mirror rotates, exhibiting an inventory of weapons of all types, shapes and sizes. She takes out a TMP and reloads it.
