Myers & Floris Mysteries: Terminal Pursuit

Chapter 2: Witnesses

Detective Kathlyn Myers and Dr. Renee Floris navigated the labyrinthine corridors of Miami International Airport, seeking witnesses who might shed light on the final moments of Eliana Watson's life. The airport's pulse throbbed with the rhythmic chaos of travelers, baggage carts, and distant announcements.

Their first stop was the airport lounge, where Eliana had been last seen alive. Myers approached a group of airport staff huddled near the information desk, her badge gleaming in the artificial light.

"I'm Detective Myers, and this is Dr. Floris. We need your cooperation in solving a serious crime," she addressed the group.

A young woman, visibly shaken, stepped forward. "I saw Eliana right before her shift. She seemed normal, nothing out of the ordinary."

Myers probed further, "Did you notice anyone acting suspiciously, or did she mention anything unusual?"

The woman shook her head, uncertainty clouding her eyes. "No, Detective. Everything was routine."

As they interviewed more witnesses, a mosaic of perspectives emerged. Some recalled Eliana's usual cheerfulness, while others noted a recent change in her demeanor. Amidst the chatter, one janitor caught Myers's attention.

"I heard a heated argument near the cargo area earlier," the janitor, named Carlos, admitted nervously. "Couldn't see who was involved, but it didn't sound right."

The detective's instincts kicked in. "Take us there, Carlos."

Following the janitor through a maze of corridors, Myers and Floris arrived at the cargo area, a shadowy realm behind the scenes of the bustling airport. The echoes of their footsteps resonated in the empty space, heightening the sense of mystery that hung in the air.

As they delved deeper into the investigation, the puzzle of Eliana Watson's murder began to take shape, each witness providing a piece of the intricate mosaic. Little did Myers and Floris know, the shadows of Miami International Airport concealed secrets that would challenge their skills and test the bounds of their partnership.
