Talat's point of view

I walked up towards Mathew's table, pulling on my jacket in the meantime. A few others were around him, lurking nearby for gossip.

As soon as they see me coming, they scattered and everyone get back to work.
I don't see why they fear me, I ain't the boss and the boss treats me no different than he does them. Maybe it's not fear, maybe it's respect, but how can I know? I don't intend my employees to bow their heads everytime they see me. I want to be a boss that can throw a party now and then, but no, I'm not the boss.

I pull out a seat and sat next to Matthew, I pull the seat close next to him, until our knees brush. I saw him shift.

"Talat, I'm sorry," He said, squeezing a pen in his palm. Stopping his hand, I held it down on the desk and I noticed something for the first time; the way his breath quicken and how shaky he is when around me.

Hell, no

"Forget that, just hurry up and find my car, here let me give you my number," I got up and without the intention of being close to him; I lean across him and choose another pen. I wrote my car number down and looked at him.

I cleared my throat and step aside.

"Track it," I said, pushing my hands in my pockets.

He stared at me with such dreamy eyes, I almost scream in frustration. His perfect almond hair and body is to die for, why doesn't he stop looking at me like that?

"Mathew!"

"Ahh!" He jump, his nerves seems to snap, the pen in his sweaty palms dropped and I roll my eyes.

"Has your supervisor, hum, I think it's best if you stay here and -"

"I'll get myself another supervisor by the end of the day, by the way I didn't need a supervisor, let the boss put you on Shane's team," I snap on him and walk out of there.

You fucking need me to sit there all day, maybe so you can look at me, why I'm I so stupid? I didn't noticed before

Caroline's point of view

Hey siri🗣 play slow then suspenseful music 👏

I pulled the car over in a quite area. I've never been around this part before, in fact I haven't been much of anywhere. I noticed two lonely dogs were walking nearby, they looked so hungry, as if they haven't eaten in weeks.

"Come puppy, come," I got out of the car, leaving the door open. I looked around but excepts from the houses; I see no one. I opened the box that dad had given me and I saw a small something.

"What is this?" I asked, curious. I pulled it out but it was a small box. I set it aside as the friendly dogs came around me, wagging their tails.

"Aww, you are so cute, where did you get such beautiful eyes from?" I asked one of them. Its eyes were green in it's brown head meanwhile the other one has it's head bowed down as if it were shy.

Setting the box cutter aside, I pulled out a sandwich.

"Aww dad, you bought it," I said softly, removing it from the wrapper. I turn around and stoop down.

"You see greeny and shy guy, my dad bought this for me, because I always love this sandwich growing but it looks like you haven't eaten in weeks. You see how kind I am?"

They wag their tails and run around excited, so I broke it into half and give each piece.

As I set it down, I saw a shadow above me. A Tall black shadow that stands behind me. My whole body stiffen and I pat the dog head and did a flip over them, which caught me by surprise, I haven't flick like that in years, due to my lack of interest, but now it comes in handy.

The dogs growled at our new comer. I reflex and stood on my feet, brushing my hands against my pants.

He was dirty, his face covered in a dirty brown beard. He had thick muscles and wears a stinking blue-black sweater.

"What are you doing in these parts? Don't you see rich people don't come here?" He asked, stepping towards me, ignoring the dogs that were barking at him. There was no one insight, or maybe no- one seems interesting.

I looked behind me, and I noticed I was backing into a bush. The car was now about eight feet away from me. Suddenly a big black dog rush down, speeding hell bent from around a corner. It seems to be in slow motion. I saw four more big dogs of brown and grey coming down the streets and my heart did a big leap.

"Get in the car, leave the girl and get in!" Someone shout from the car.

Oh no

Mr. Stinky didn't have any where to go to as the dogs rushed at him, the big black one jump into his back and rip at his sweater. He fights to get them off him but I rushed and pulled the car door. The fool didn't lock the door. I grab the box opener, but I was too slow as the man drove the car away, half of my body hanging out the car. My head in and my feet out. I couldn't see his face as I consider rolling out.

Talat's point of view

"Talat! We found the car!" A guy rushed out and said. I was outside sitting on a bench, fuming, saying hello to a few visitors that came by to see dad. Or to see the boss.

Hearing this I rush on my feet and rush upstairs.

"Where?"

"The last camera it passes through was at the end of the street, sir."

"Oh no, where the fuck is she going? Couldn't you not find anything else?"

"Sir someone reports a fight in some lost area, I think," Matthew said zooming in on something.

"Get me a car, Shane! Are you coming?"

Matthew swings around in his seat but I took hold of Shane's hand and pulled him off his chair.

"Drive the radio car as fast as you can," I said to him. Usually when I was on murder cases he was my partner. Well until recently, when I wanted to do it alone.

"Come on Shane, drive better than that."

We pull up into a poor area, a area where everyone knows everyone business. They better know something this time. I got out of the car, and raised my badge. A few people was on the street.

"Sir! Sir!" My head swing around and I a little boy coming up towards me, his blond hair bouncing on his head. He wore a short blue shorts and orange shirt on his tan skin, without shoes. He had a dog leash in his hand and I went to him.

"Have you seen anything strange around here young man? Talk and I'll pay you," I said as Shane walked around asking questions.

"I don't need your money sir, but I saw a pretty girl with red hair feeding two dogs from around the lane. Blacks!"

A black dog run up towards him and he patted him down on the head and tied the leash on.

"A man was there with her sir, I let Blacks and the rest at him but an-"

"Where is the man now? Which direction did he went to? What clothes was he wearing? Where was the car parked?" I throw questions at him and he raised his eyebrows and signal for me to follow him.

***

"Right here sir, oh this is something-" He rushed towards a small thing in the road.

Her shoes.

I swallowed and squeezed my chest.

A trail of blood was on the road that leads towards the bushes. I grab the guy and pull him back before he sees it.

"We found a very much beaten body down the road sir, but he won't say anything, he needs a hospital, too many dog bites," Shane said, when we arrived at the crowed area.

"Take this guy to the station, he will a give statement."

I put him in the car and took the dog leash from him, he was hesitant at first but then he gave in.

"I promise I'll take care of Blacks for you."

I turned away with a racing heart and thoughts of Vince, and trail of blood.

Did she kill someone? Did she found the thing in the car?

This one is long, next time I'll try and make it a little more shorter.

What were your thoughts?

It will get more interesting, I promise.

Did she killed someone?

Shine bright ❤💪
