Inside a dirty alley way in the middle of the city of New York is a rundown building with a broken sign that says, 'Detective Agency'. Inside it is a girl with a detective outfit you'll see in most detective stories. Her name was Detective Amelia Watson.
"Haaa no customers today as well.." amelia said as she laid faced down on her desk.
*Ding*
Amelia sat upright when she heard to door open.
"Welcome to Watson's Detective Agency!, How may I help you?"
"Uhh sorry if you don't mind, may i ask for some directions? The old lady said
"Oh, directions..sure"amelia's smile faded
"Just take a left here and a right after that then just go straight and you'll be out"amelia said
"T-thank you very much"the old lady left
As the lady left the room felt silent once more. Amelia sighed deeply as she laid back on her chair. She then opened her drawer and took out a photo. It was a photo of her and her dad. Looking at the photo, Ame remembered her father's words.
"Dad when i grow up i wanna be a detective just like you! Finding clues and Fighting bad guys" ame said as she was flailing her arms around
"Haha, i'm glad you think that way"her father smiled
"But Amelia, always remember, the world is very dangerous and unfair. I just want you to live your life like a normal girl.
"It doesn't matter how dangerous it is because I know you'll always be there to save me hehe" Ame smiled
"You cheeky little brat, come here you"
They played around for a while but after that Amelia went to bed.
"Goodnight sweety" her dad smiled
"Goodnight dad"As the night went on, heavy rain poured. The sound of the roaring thunder and heavy rain woke amelia up. As she got up she heard some noises downstairs. She went to the stairs and peaked at the living room. She saw her dad with 2 guys in a suit and One of the guys carried a briefcase with them.
The guy with the briefcase sat down and push the case to ame's father.
"For the last time, Detective Watson. Stop your investigation if you don't wan't to get in trouble". The two got up and started walking away.
Ame's father threw the briefcase back at them and shouted.
"You think i'll stop because of some bribe?!". Ame's father walked towards the two guys but then one guy pulled a gun and shot amelia's father in the chest.*Bang*
A loud bang resonated around the house. Amelia covered her ears and mouth while trembling in fear. "It didn't have to be this way Watson". "You...Bastards.."
The two left and closed the door. Amelia then hurried down to her father. "Dad! Dad!" She screamed while holding her father's hand.
"Amelia, listen *pant* to me. I really didn't want you to get involved in this matter. Promise me amelia, promise me that you'll live your life far from danger."
"W-what are you saying right now?! Just rest for a bit, i'll call the ambulance a-and you'll be fine" amelia said as tears were flowing from her eyes.
"I'm sorry amelia, i'm sorry that our time was cut short. But i know you can go on"
"How do you know that?! I'm scared dad! What would I do without you?!"
"I know it because your..my daughter *cough*" her father said as he coughed up blood
"Dad!"
"Don't forget that.. i'll always.. love...."her father's hand loses all its strength and his breathing stopped.
"Dad?Dad!!" Ame cried out loudly, her cry was loud enough that not even the heavy rain could cover up her screams.
A few minutes later sirens could be heard from outside her house. Outside were ambulances and police.
The police went inside only to find amelia crying on her father's side. The policed escorted amelia outside and took her to the police car.They arrived at the police station, they made amelia sit on a chair with a blanket and a drink. Once she had calmed down, the officers started asking questions about what happened. Amelia told the police the full story.
"My dad said the evidence was in his office"ame said
"Do you know where it is?"
"Yes"
"Can you guide as there"
"Yes"
They arrived at her fathers office. The place was in a complete mess. There were scattered books and paper everywhere.
The police the searched for the evidence but couldn't find it. Amelia went to her father's desk and saw a photo of her and her dad. Under the desk amelia noticed a small dent on the floor.
Amelia asked the officers to moved the desk and under it was a latch. They opened it and found a ladder leading down. They all went down and after a couple of seconds they've reached the bottom.
Under the latch was a secret basement where amelia's father conducted the more serious investigations. They found the evidence they were looking for and headed back out.
They went back to the police station and asked amelia if she had any relatives. She said that she had an aunt. Amelia gave her aunt's phone number to them. The cops then called her and after a few minutes she came to pick up amelia.
Amelia then stayed at her aunt's house and after a few days the police called again and notified her that the perpetrators were caught and have been sent to jail.
One or two weeks passed and they had a funeral for amelia's father. Though it was her father's funeral amelia didn't cry but instead had a determined face. She continued her studies and got into criminology to become a detective.
9 years passed
Amelia moved out from her aunt to live alone and she finally graduated from school. She used up the money she saved up to fix her father's office and become an independent detective.
2 more years passed, present day
Amelia who was an independent detective didn't have many customers as a result, she didn't have enough money to maintain the quality of the office and soon look like an abandoned building.*Ding*
The door opened, she hurriedly placed back the photo and arranged her sitting position.
"Welcome to Watson's Detective Agency! How may i help you?"she smiled brightly
"Are you amelia watson?"
"Oh yes, why?"
"Would you like to become an idol?"
"Huh? An idol?"
