A Bloody Glass of Wine

Chapter 2

It was weekend, which meant there was no work for James that day. Which also meant, endless boredom.

"It's morning already huh...," mumbled James while getting slowly up from his comfortable bed.

He walked towards the kitchen and made himself a hot cup of Earl Grey tea, adding little bit of honey at the end. James then took a small sip of his tea and walked inside the living room. He left the cup on the table and grabbed the control for the television.

"That's right Shirley. The woman was found unconscious inside the car and thankfully, there weren't any signs of physical and sexual harassment. The doctors are examining her right now for any possibility of her consuming any type of drug and the police suspects that the bottle of wine that was found inside the car, was the cause for her falling unconscious."

"Right, we also know from the police that the car wasn't hers to begin with. Did she truly fell unconscious because of the alcohol or was it something else? Was the car stolen? Was she kidnapped and left there on purpose?"

"That we don't know, but the police suspects that the woman may had fell a victim of kidnaping. Nothing is certain for now."

"Then we will have to wait until this case becomes more clear to both the doctors and the police. Thank you Anthony for your report. Now, for our next theme..."

Played the morning news in the television as James's gray eyes narrowed in deep thought. That seemed to be a simple case in practical terms but who knows what actually happened to this woman. He could only get curious about the situation.

"It's only Saturday. I bet I can solve this case until tomorrow," he thought with a smirk as he had just found his next possible victim.

With that said, James began his first move. He learned everything he could about the case from the news, newspaper and social media. It only cost him about two hours to gather the most important things about the possible victim and the case. In specific, he found a photo that was published by a person who was passing by the scene of the incident before the police had arrived at the scene. It was a broken phone to the ground and piece of torn cloth at the driver's seat. Despite that the bottle of wine wasn't visible in the photo, he already knew its existence from the morning news.

After searching some more, he learned the woman's name and made an attempt to look for her social media. He saw that she was an ordinary, one could say lively, person given from the photos she would upload on her page but what stood out the most, was that she was always along with her lover who as of now, was missing and nowhere to be found.

With that, James walked towards his expensive car and began his small trip to the border of this town. The reason, to find the very place they had found the woman unconscious along with the car.

When James arrived at the scene, he saw the car being surrounded by police officers. Walking a little bit closer, he noticed how relaxed but also troubled the police looked. It was as if they had all the clues but only one key was missing to unlock the mystery of this incident.
