Chapter 1: Meeting the Gang

Today I thought nothing could go wrong. Today was the day that I thought I could have a fresh start. Little did I know that Rosebrooke had dark and terrible secrets hiding within. I'm moving here for my promotion, I guess you could say I'm not your ordinary detective anymore. I used to be on the sidelines and an apprentice/assistant but now I'm a sergeant. I start my new job today and I'm so excited.

*At the station*

"Sergeant Wilson. I'm Detective Bradley Jones but Detective Jones is fine, I will be working alongside you with future investigations." Detective Jones had short brown hair. He was slightly shorter than me but had a bigger build. His shoulders are very broad, he looked like an army tank.

"A pleasure to meet you Detective Jones. I look forward to being out on the field with you." I hold my hand out for a handshake. Detective Jones takes my hand and gives a firm handshake. He smiles and gives me a tour around the station to meet everybody. We weren't walking for long, we reached a room with a tall, slim woman doing her work; unlike Jones and myself.

"Knock knock!" Jones knocks on the door and the woman looks up. She smiles and walks over to us. She was wearing a white lab coat with a turquoise shirt underneath, she was wearing a black skirt with black stockings and boots.

"You must be the new sergeant! I'm Veronica Hopkins. Head of the forensics analysis team. I'm pretty sure you know what my role is here so I don't need to explain it?" She gives a questioning smile. I hold out my hand for a handshake. Veronica takes my hand and gives a firm yet feminine handshake back.

"A pleasure to meet you Veronica and yes I know role. Your role is that you decipher eye and hair colour, age and blood types from blood samples, also soil/dirt, substances the are unknown to us, tablet capsules and clothing that has blood or other liquids or fabric on it. Not only that but anything that is from a human like teeth, sweat, tears, saliva and hair you can determine the gender, nationality and the beverage they were drinking or the food they were eating." I say confidently with my hands on my hips. I wasn't an assistant for 6 years for nothing. She smiles and flicks her long auburn wavy hair to the right side of her shoulder before going back to her work.

"I look forward to working with Sergeant Wilson." Veronica doesn't turn her head to face us as she was so engaged in her work.

"I look forward to working with you too Veronica." She gives a small wave while looking at her computer configuring something. I smile before Jones takes me to another room to meet another person. In the room there was a guy sitting behind a computer with massive headphones on his head. He looks up and smiles before getting out of his chair. With the headphones it revealed his black hair that had an emo style to it.

"Sergeant Wilson right? I'm Alex Foster head of the technology research here, but you can call me the Tech God if you wish." Alex smiles at his ego boosting attitude. Jones sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Alex be serious for once!" Jones raises his voice slightly and Alex pouts in disappointment.

"Sorry Jones. Anyways I can decipher fingerprints, surveillance cameras, phone numbers, codes and phones and get the necessary clues from them, but my favourite stuff are cryptic codes or messages." Alex moves his blue-tipped fringe from his face and smiles, his lip piercing moved perfectly with his smile that he had painted on his face.

"Impressive indeed! Well I look forward to working with you Alex." I smile back at Alex who looks down blushing slightly.

"I-I look forward t-to working with you too Sergeant Wilson." Alex quickly rushes back to his seat and puts on his headphones and stares back at his computer trying to contain his blushing. Jones and I walk out of technology research room and walk down the hallway making a right.

"I don't think I've seen Alex smile as much as he did just then and he blushed too, he hasn't done that in a long time." I look at Jones but don't decide to question or ask what he meant. We continue to walk until we reach another room, we enter and a male with sandy blonde hair turns around. He walks up to us and holds out his hand.

"I'm Trevor Kingston and I serve as the Chief's Medical Examiner or Coroner in other words. I autopsy the bodies and study the wounds to determine who the killer might be. I also take a look over weapons that you guys find to see if it matches the victims wounds." Trevor ruffles his hand through his blonde hair while his other hand was in his lab coat pocket. He had white slacks on with white shoes, he also had a black t-shirt underneath his lab coat. I grab Trevor's outstretched hand and give him a handshake.

"I'm Sergeant Wilson and it's a pleasure meeting you Trevor, I look forward to working with you." We both give a firm hand shake before Trevor walks off to go back to his work, in pretty sure he was halfway through an autopsy but I wasn't sure. Jones taps my shoulder and gestures with his head to exit the room. I do exactly that and Jones follows behind.

"Well there's one more person to meet and that is the Chief of the facility." We walk out so we wouldn't disturb Trevor anymore. This place is a lot bigger than I thought but I guess as an assistant I didn't get to see much. "Now the Chief has been doing this job for over 30 years now so she isn't the most youthful person but she knows what she's doing." I nod my head to show that I was listening and that I understood what he said. We walk down to the end of the hall and see a door that is closed. There was a little sign on it that read Chief Adams Office. Well there's no mistaking it this is the Chiefs office. We reach the door and Jones knocks.

"Come in." Jones opens the door slowly and we walk in. I fix posture before entering, I straighten my back to look formal before walking into the office. "Ah you must be Sergeant Jones. I'm the Chief in this facility, also Aaliyah Adams is the name but Chief Adams is fine." Chief Adams had a very proper posture, she has brown hair that was shoulder length and didn't look that old all, she easily could be taken as mid 30's to early 40's. She was wearing a vest to match her formal work attire. I hold out my hand for a handshake.

"A pleasure to meet you Chief Adams, I look forward to working here with everybody." She takes my outstretched hand and gives a firm handshake. I smile and shake her hand firmly as well.

"Now I hate to do this to you guys but I just got a call that there is a corpse at the entrance sign." Jones groans and I was a bit excited, I didn't expect to be on the field so soon.

"Chief, can't Sergeant Wilson at least get some time to settle in first?" Jones tried his best efforts to avert the problem but Chief Adams didn't give in.

"Jones, a good detective would never back down from a case, plus if you don't catch this killer you're risking everyone's lives." Chief puts her hands on her hips and looks straight into Jones' eyes making him cower.

"You're right Chief, sorry. Well Sergeant Wilson I hope you're ready for your first case!" Jones looks at me before quickly dragging me out of the Chief's office. "God she scares the living crap out of me." I laugh at Jones' comment and he just glares at me. I smile and pat his shoulder lightly.

"Oh come on, she isn't that bad." She is only doing her job so she has to be stern at times which I'm totally fine with.

Jones and I head out to the front of the station and get into a police car. I take the passenger seat while Jones drives to the crime scene; my very first case and I only started the job today, it's exciting yet daunting. Many lives are put at risk with events like this even our lives.

We were driving for about 15 minutes before a big sign became visible, it read: 'Welcome to Rosebrooke.' I let out a big sigh and think; let the investigation commence.
