Criminal Case: Grimsborough

A Girl's Day with the Team

Normally, I would write down the next case. But I've decided to give the sisters some screen time by making something original.

That is all, and enjoy.

Martinez Residences, Juan's POV

After solving some cases, I've decided to take some time for myself on the weekend by staying in the comfort of my own home while my sisters watched some television in the living room.

I normally do some challenging problems from the newspaper such as Sudoku and some Crosswords. But as the girls kept watching the program, Christine recalls something important, stands up from the couch, and walks up to me.

"Hey, Juan," Christine called out, "There's something I need to tell you about,"

"Which is?" I asked,

"Well, the school had just announced a field trip and the date of departure is tomorrow," Christine revealed,

"Did you tell Uncle about it?" I asked,

"I wasn't able to as he'll be out of town for a couple of days and I was wondering if... You could sign the permission slip in his steed?" Christine asked,

"Why me?" I said,

"Well, you pretty much fit the guardian role since you're the one who's been taking care of us after mom and dad passed away and Uncle wanted some time for himself after working hard to provide everything we needed for the three of us," Christine explained,

"I see," I muttered, "When's your field trip?"

"It happens on Friday, and I should tell you that there won't be any classes since most of the teachers will supervise the trip," Christine said,

"That means Liza will be all by herself should we leave the house," I concluded, and it'll be quite a problem since Liza is still young to live all by herself, "I'm guessing that you don't want to skip the trip, right?"

"I would, but I can't really miss it since almost everyone in my class is going to participate," Christine said, "And I'd like to go somewhere different with my friends this time,"

I hummed in thought as well as cupped my chin as I think of an alternative way. But seeing that the trip was on Friday and there weren't any homicide cases being committed, I've concluded with the only possible choice I could think of.

Police Station...

Once again, I arrived at the station for another day at work. But I wasn't alone...

Jones spots me, and raises his hand at me, "Hey, Juan! You rest easy today?"

"I did," I replied,

Then Jones notices a little girl holding my hand and he immediately got curious, "Who's the kid?"

"Jones, This is Liza. She's my little sister and she'll be staying here until my other sister gets back from her field trip," I said, then I turned my head to her, "Liza, this is my partner, David Jones,"

"Hello," Liza greeted while waving her other hand to him,

"I didn't know you had sisters?" Jones said,

"Then you should have paid more attention to the picture frame I have on my desk, Partner," I mentioned,

"Oh... I wonder who those girls were," Jones mentioned, "Guess you've got a lot on your plate than this job, huh?"

"I get used to it," I noted, "But that aside, I'll be taking her around the station and introducing her to the team since she has always wondered who I work with,"
