 I followed him to the crime scene

   And there was Jo lying on the cold hard concrete floor covered with      blood.

“Oh my God! What the hell happened to her?” I asked Adam.

“I don’t know. The only thing I knew is that I got a call this morning from someone,”

I moved closer to her body just to make sure that she is really dead. No offence but I just don’t want to be tricked again by them. I don’t want to look like a fool.

So I bend on my feet and touched her neck to feel her pulse.

Oh God she is dead. I mean her pulse is not moving at all.

How much more worst can this birthday go.

Damn!

The next thing I know is that tears were pouring down my eyes.

I can’t belief it that I lost my best friend.

The next thing I knew is that Adam was taping my back.

“Don’t worry dear, we will get over this,” tried Adam to calm me down.

I was not paying attention to any of his calms. What I know is that I was finding a place to dispose my three quarter empty coffee.

Yes that is a perfect place for me to throw it as no one will know cause the place is practically fill with over grown grass.

Honestly I did not do that in purpose. There were no rubbish bins at all.

“I just don’t get why humans are so lazy this time?” muttered a voice behind me.

I just gave a glare and walks pass him to the crime.

Crime-scene tapes now blocked the both passages. People are slowing down their cars and seeing what is going on and also causing traffic jam. Kids on their bikes raising up their heads and enjoying the scenery.

Police photographers clicking the camera button to gather evidence.

“Another rape victim?” asked Dr Andrew.

He is our branch pathologist. He has with a some black hair. Freckles all over his face. He can be a but old looking but his abs is awesome. He is smart has grey eyes. (I envy him.)

“Yup, another one”

“Who is she?” asked Drew.

“A friend of mine. Jo. Jo White” I told him and my voice was getting heavy.

“Wow it must be hard for you. I mean your friend over here dead” gasped him while putting on his white rubber gloves getting ready to investigate.

I just gave a frown to him.

He went towards the body and I followed him behind.

He squat so has me. Listening attentively to him.

“Detective look at her neck.  Can you see?” asked Drew.

I also went nearer to have a close look.

“Yeah. What is that,”

“I don’t know. We need to take this to the mortuary,” gasped Drew.

Soon the ambulance driver took the body to the mortuary were post mortem takes place. But they already knew that they are dealing with homicide. There are multiple stabs wounds and one on the throat but there was something not right on her neck.

“Adam look,” I ordered him while pointing my finger to the neck.

Adam took a close look at it and tried to explain.

“I think someone was seriously angry with her in must have broken her neck,” guessed Adam

“But then it don’t look like someone broke her neck by twisting it. I mean you have investigate many rape cases right and I think there is surely one or two or maybe more cases where he or she is killed by a neck twist,”

Adam just nodded his head and said “Yeah you are right at some points because the bruises on her neck don’t look like it been twisted or stabbed.

Then Dr Drew barged in which made me jump a little.

“Has you can see that there are few stabs including one on the throat. According to the blood trail the victim has been attacked nine or thirteen further into the passage. She got to probably tried to get away but her attacker making more lunges has she faltered and fell,”

“There is nothing in her pocket. Wait I think I felt something,” said Adam while digging in her pocket. He then pulled it out. It was a chain with a skull pendent on it.

“Wait I remember that thing. I mean I have seen it on someone’s neck but I can’t really remember who it was on,” I gasped. Detective Bones let out a little shrug.

“Hope someone knows who is she…… “ hoped Drew.

I let out a shrug.

“Excuse me, I know who is she. She is a friend of mine. Who lives in Brokenly and came here to continue her studies. She is supposed to finish her studies by the end of this month and we was supposed to celebrate her graduation but her luck was bad where she ended been placed here. Her name is Jo White daughter of Mr. & Mrs. White. Is there anything else you want to know Dr Drew?” I asked while letting out a half smile.

“No I think that is enough for one day dear,” suggested Drew. Honestly Drew can be a bit forgetful sometimes.

“Oh shit. I got to go. I am seriously late. I only got 15 minutes to reach to college,” told Drew after looking at his gold Rolex watch. By the way, I forgot to tell that Drew is not only a pathologist he is also a lecture in one of the colleges in Miami.

I nodded my head and said

“ Drew that is nothing new in you. You’re always late and……..” I was not allowed to finish my sentence when I realize Drew was gone.

“What the hell?” I yelled
