Detectives

The Stormy Night (Pt 1)

                                                                     THIS IS GETTING REDONE

One cold night, the thunder boomed, and the rain crackled,  Detective and his partner Detective Jacob were heading to the Phoenix mansion. Guns at their hips, a boom of thunder flashed behind them, Det. Neptune's Fedora tilted at an angle, and Jacob's coat cuffed.

When they arrived at the mountain mansion, a huge sign hung..
Phoenix Mansion
Rain dripped from it, the men gave each other stern looks and headed for the door, their steps quiet compared to the thunder.  Neptune would knock on the door while Jacob prepared his badge and notebook.

A royal-like woman answered the door, a cup of tea in her hand, Detective Neptunes partner, Det. Jacob showed her his badge in a secretive way. Neptune then spoke,
"We are here to ask you questions about last Friday." His voice was deep, but right to the point. She hesitantly nodded, then spoke, "I'm the maid, let me get the Mrs." She said softly, leading them to a couch to sit.

Detective Neptune's pov:
The home was nice, but something was off. Water dripped from my coat and fedora, I waited to sit till I was able to take off my wet clothing. Jacob didn't hesitate, though, his feet sore. He complained about them the whole car ride here, I took out my block phone, texting my chief about our arrival.

Detective Jacob's pov:
I adored the house, it was so lovely but I needed to stay on task. I removed my coat, drenched in rain, and then took out  a flip book and a pen for notes. I waited patiently, sitting beside my partner.

The Mrs walked in with the same maid. She was graceful as she walked down her long stairs, looking tired, but beautiful.

N. pov:
The maid took my wet items, I nodded a thanks, grabbing a small note with questions. I didn't offer Mrs. a handshake, as she declined Jacobs.

J. pov:
As the Mrs walked in, I stood up, fixing the wrinkles on my shirt and putting my hand out for a handshake, which she declined and sat down, i followed her lead, taking a seat. I clicked my pen two times and put the notepad on my lap, ready to be attentive as Det. Neptune interrogated the woman.

The Mrs looked annoyed,  but cooperated. The first question the detective asked her, "Where were you the morning of Friday, February 22th, 1982?" She blinked and said hesitantly."At home, baking with my daughter." Neptune looked at Jacob,  nodding as he wrote what they said down. "Great, and Mr?" She looked upset.. Neptune raised a brow, and she quickly said, "The Mr. passed away 2 years ago." Jacob looked up from the paper, feeling hesitant to say anything but spoke."Carry on, Detective Neptune." Embarrassed, Neptune quickly asked the next question, "And, Have you heard anything about the accident?" She'd shake her head, a no. "Jolly and the Boyce Family, were they always loud?" She stopped for a minute,  looking the detective in the eyes."Yes, fight constantly." Neptune nodded, moving on."How often did you see them?" She began to speak, then paused.. "5 times a month?" She sipped her tea, Jacob carried on writing, clicking his pen.
"Jolly, And for the note receipt,  Your name. Mrs. " she answered quickly."Rosemarie Ann Phoenix." Both of the detectives nodded, and Neptune walked back to his coat. The maid putting his coat and fedora back on, Jacob put his own on. He flipped his notepad back and clicked his pen once more. "Thank you for your time, Give us a call if you remember anything." He'd hand Mrs. Phoenix, a silky-smooth card with numbers on it, Jacob grabbing the door, stepping out as the Maid handed him an extra umbrella. Detective Neptune tilted his fedora,  winking as he walked out. "Not much information,  but it'll do." Jacob nodded a grin forming on his face, "Indeed, what a lovely house, " he adored. Neptune rolled his eyes. Opening the car door and driving off.
