Murder and Crime Investigators S3

6. At the next stop

CHEROKEE, IOWA

A woman got off the bus, turned right and started walking down the street. It was hot and the sun was shining brightly on the streets. The woman continued walking with her red bag hanging on her right hand man.

A man detached his body from the lamppost he was leaning against to read a travel guide. He walked slowly toward the woman and, when he was close enough, caught her attention.

-Excuse me," he said.

The woman turned around.

-Could you tell me where 2nd Street is?

-It's this one, sir.

-Oh! -Thank you for your help.

-You're welcome.

The man pulled a knife from his vest and placed it in the girl's back as he leaned close to her ear to whisper.

-Don't even think of screaming or you're dead. Now walk.

They both started walking forward.

The agents were discussing at FBI headquarters, on their personal computers.

Arodi: Without a doubt, Friends is one of the best shows ever.

Bradley: Bullshit. Much better than Friends is Big Bang Theory - that's a good show!

Bailey: It's just that the eggheads only watch science stuff. The rest of us prefer to watch things that don't make us think too much.

Elina: Have you seen Stranger Things?

Rose: What a shitty show! I don't understand how it can get ratings.

Elina: Don't even think about messing with Stranger Things!

Webb: Stranger Things doesn't even come close to matching the Prince of Bel-Air.

Bailey: Excuse him. He's just stuck in the '90s.

Rose: Do you still like westerns?" She laugh.

Webb: Say what you want, but no one beats The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Yoni: Yes, they do! It's been made very clear to us.

Bradley: Guys. Kelley wants us in the boardroom.

Webb: The conversation doesn't stop here, huh?

Bailey: Of course it does! We give the win to Friends.

Elina: Stranger Things!

Bradley: The Big Bang Theory.

Kelley was shocked to see the agents arguing.

Kelley (to Yoni): What are they talking about?

Yoni: What's the best show of all time.

Kelley: Ah," she commented out loud. I don't like series, I only watch movies. The best one I've ever seen is Fifty Shades of Grey.

Everyone stared at her without saying anything.

Kelley: What?! Everyone has their own tastes...

Webb: Kelley, please start.

Kelley: Yes, better. You see, you're going to travel all the way to Cherokee, Iowa. The last few weeks there have been several women being reported missing all over town. The latest one was this morning. It is 23-year-old Elma Garner. She was last seen at Buena Vista University, where she studies.
