Just a butler (English AU)

Chapter four: Letter and match

Sam POV:

Time went slow without him. I was still with much work to do, but when he is nearby it always seems easier.

Finally, the door of the police office opened, and a familiar face came in.

-Oh, you are back.-

But someone else was with him. A young boy was supported by him to be able to walk.

-Yeah, sorry, we'll talk later, right now I have to take this guy to write down the testimony for a lawsuit.-

-That's ok, call me when you are done with it.-

Each other went back to our tables. After a while, I saw how they said goodbye and the stranger went out.

-Ey, everything alright?-

-Yes, it is just that it was a difficult case and even more when the theft attacked the boy.

-And the theft? Did he escape?-

-That's the bad thing, we weren't able to catch him on time.-

He sighted, he seemed frustrated.

-Well, I have to write down those reports.-

-Ok.-

-Can we see each other at the end?-

-Your turn is over before mine.-

-I know, but as I have paper to work with, maybe I'll end up a little bit later than usual, and I won't mind waiting a little bit, if you want so of course.-

-Sure.-

I smiled right before going back to work. The rest of the evening was much more messy, there were so many radio announcements and calls that our workmates went to solve. The police officers with papers to complete have to stay until they are done with it, which means that I'll have to stay in the office for a while.

The case I was writing about was a desaparicion. It hasn't passed much time since I had talked with the bride of the missing man, but all led to the theory that it was a kidnap, probably organised by professionals.

The case I was writing about was a desaparicion. It hasn't passed much time since I had talked with the bride of the missing man, but all led to the theory that it was a kidnap, probably organised by professionals.

The bride hasn't even spoken much and she was very nervous. It was obvious that she knew that her husband was involved in some type of problem with the mafia, or at least, that was what my intuicion led me to believe, but in the reports they don't care about beliefs, they care about proofes, and the only thing I had was a note.

I opened one of the drawers of my table and I took a small plastic bag with the note.

-Your luck ends today.-

That was all that it said, and in the back part, a letter J in a calligraphy that only a few people know.

Lately, similar cases have been spreading around in a short amount of time, kidnaps and some time later, murders. All of them with the same modus operandi, where we end up finding the missings with a bullet in the sky of the mouth and mysterious messages, always with the J.

It was evident that the J was a symbol of the person behind all of this, but the problem is when someone gets too close to discover him, the high sferes act fastly and efficiently. He had to be interviewed with the members of the high commissioner there before, the investigation only lasted until we found the corpse of the missings, and there was nothing I could possibly do. I have my hands tied up, and that only made me angrier.
