CHIEF Inspector Camila Cabello of Cambridge Police Station in London was respected by the citizens there, she was loved because of her good deeds that is out of her job.

She’s single, not petite not too tall, just average in height, brunette hair that is cut as police officer’s hair, 30yrs old and if there’s complaint they always look for Chief Inspector Cabello and the juniors will lead them directly to her office and one fine day when some anonymous caller called to her office.

“Camila Cabello, here,” she answered after picking the cradle of the phone.

“Don’t hang up please, please, officer, I need your help...”

Camila frowned when she heard it on the other line, the person on the other line knew who she was and the voice is somewhat afraid and fast so she knows that this caller is in danger so she listened, “I’m listening.”

“Officer, please, please, my wife, my kids they will be killed by Shawn Mendes’ men! I can’t give you enough evidence but I’m saying the truth! I’m a chemical engineer, a professor in Cambridge University when Mendes abducted me from where I teach, he threatened my family if I will not cooperate, so I did, I did all the things that he wanted me to do, us, because I’m not alone in here officer, lots of us, listen officer few years from now a chemical attack will be launch in the US, I don’t know the exact location but believe me, I don’t know what to do anymore…”

She heard him sobbing, “where are you? Tell me so I can give you a protection order.”

“I don’t know, I really don’t know, sooner or later he will kill me too, I’m Richard Collson, you will know that I’m telling the truth when you found me dea…”

And the line went dead, “hello? Collson? Collson! Shit!” and she quickly took another folder where the missing list had been filed, she swear that last week a Chemical Engineer professor named Richard Collson was reported missing by his wife and she don’t know if it’s really true if his wife is dead or not then she jolted when someone knock, “come in,” she said.

“Inspector, we had a bad news,” another officer reported.

“Tell me.”

“Richard Collson’s wife who reported to us that her husband is missing was found dead together with her 2 kids in their residence just this morning.”

Camila's breath hitch, her heart is pounding so fast, and rubbed her face because of frustration and stood, grabbing her police hat, tuck her service firearm to her holster and left the office.

“I-Inspector, where were you going?”

“Stand by on the telephone especially in my office, if someone wants to talk to me, direct it to my phone immediately,” she ordered.

“Y-Yes, Inspector,” the junior officer replied feeling scared all of a sudden because seeing Chief Inspector Cabello being serious is scary as shit.

Camila left the station and together with the other junior officer rode on the patrol car.

She still remembered what Richard told her and it didn’t leave her mind even for a bit. She meant it that his report will not be admissible as long as it doesn’t support any solid evidence and there’s no recording in her telephone that makes her frustrated even more. She was nervous at the same time because how can she save Collson from the hands of Shawn Mendes who is well respected businessman, most fearsome in UK because his business is big and did big enough contribution in UK.

It’ll surely be a tough case but she had to do what she needed to do, she's a police officer after all and no one is an exemption from the law.

They arrived at Collson’s residence which now surrounded by police tapes and an officer interviewing the neighbourhood who was there. She stepped out of the vehicle and wore her hat and walked towards the crime scene, the junior officers greeted her by a salute.
