9:40 AM

"Ms. Velasco, a case was just handed out to you" said by a man.

He placed a file on the desk in front of a woman who had short black hair, the file was named 'Ms. Phoebe Velasco'

Phoebe mumbled "thanks" that seemed unhearable. Phoebe reached for the file and read it.

She saw 5 pictures of women, Marianna a missing person since march 20 had long black hair and was smiling at the camera, she looked mature why would she go missing?

Diana was reported to be missing on March 27, her hair was brown and neatly tied up, unlike Marianna she was not smilling.

Mikael was reported missing on April 3, she had a black layered cut and seemed like a student. She was smiling brightly at the camera.

Carmella was reported missing in 10, her hair was blonde and was styled in a bun, she wasn't looking at the camera, she isn't looking at the camera.. is this intentional?

Maria the last person to be reported was on April 17, she had black straight hair and she looked oddly nervous.

"Each of them went missing after a week.. in the same area too" her forehead furrowed as she sighed.

Her phone vibrated on the desk.

Phoebe took a look and a number was calling.

"Good morning, who is this?" Phoebe asked the caller.

A man's voice could be heard, "Good morning Ms. Velasco, i am Melinoe Del Carmen, your new partner for the case that was just handed out to you"

"Ah, then i trust that you've read the files?" She asked while reading the remaining reports in the files.

"Yes, may i ask why?" Phoebe took a notepad and wrote.

"I've read through the file and discovered a lead" she sent a message to the man, "I'll tell you about it later, go to the place that i sent you"

The call ended after Melinoe said his goodbyes.

Phoebe sat up, Another case, another problem.

The place was located in a rural area, "No wonder why the missing cases got piled up.." she grumbled.

After she left her office, she drove immediately to the rural place And because the place is in a rural area its far away from my office, gas is just too expensive this year...

10:04 AM

Phoebe had wore a plain white polo shirt tucked in her black slacks with 1 inch black heels.

She parked and went inside of the Cafe, i can't find him yet.. i should order my drink.

Phoebe sat down in front of a window after ordering.

After a while she asked Melinoe where he was.

Just after she sent that a man with waist length black hair came up to her, he wore a dark blue blazer with a polo shirt underneath and black pants.

He looks like a lady.

"Ms. Velasco?" He asked Phoebe, which she nodded to.

"Seat down" the waitress handed out her order and asked Melinoe for his.

Melinoe smiled at the waitress and ordered, "lets go straightforward, i've got a lead on the case" she told him seriously after the waitress walked away.

"The missing ladies were all in the same area and coincidentally their missing reports were always one week away until the last one" she said and sipped from her drink.
