The day John has been waiting for finally arrived- his chance to prove himself as a detective.
He had been dreaming of this moment since he first entered the police academy, and he was determined to make the most of it.
As he walked on the crime scene, he felt adrenaline coursing through his veins, a sense of excitement mixed with an unmistakable feeling of anticipation.
He was ready to help solve this case and put the criminal behind the bars, but as he stepped in the house, his smile flattened and his eyes widened in horror and disgust as he saw a dead body on the ground, a middle aged man with black hair and a bullet in his head.
John felt like he could have thrown up then and there, but he held himself back.
He took a glance around the room, there were a few cops trying to gather as much evidence as possible.
As he looked around, a cop approached him,
«you good there, kid?»
John was taken aback, but he tried his best to remain polite
«well..I have never witnessed such a scene before.. but I'm fine.»
«good to know. Nice to meet you, I'm Williams Smith, the police chief. You're new here, right?»
John jumped slightly
«oh..yes! My name's Jonathan, but I go by John, this is my first time on a crime scene..do you have any suspects already?»
«no, we have the criminal.»
well that was fast.
«really? Who did such a thing? And why..?»
John asked
«all the proofs lead to a specific criminal... He's been putting spikes in our wheels for quite some time, but unfortunately we haven't been able to arrest him yet.»
Damn..that must be quite the criminal...but john stayed positive.
«how long have you been trying to catch him?»
William pondered for a bit while scratching his chin
«a few months now, it doesn't seem like a lot, but he acts quickly. But enough chit chat. Noah will take care of you. He's that dude over there,»
he pointed towards a tall guy with light brown hair who was supervising the scene,
«just tell him that I told you to stay with him.»
Williams explained before walking off.
John observed noah for a bit, before making his way towards him.
«uh.. hello?»
John asked, a little intimidated by the tall man with blue eyes Infront of him, noah looked at him and gave him a smile before answering
«well, hello there, I don't think I've seen you around before. My name's noah, what about you?»
«my name's John... I'm new here, chief William told me I could Have you show me how things work around here»
«ah, yes, sure, that I can do. Nice to meet you, you're pretty young, how old are you?»
«I'm 23..do you know anything about the killer of that dude?»
«kind of, me and the others call him.."the velvet dagger", you know, because he's dangerous and sneaky, plus sometimes he seems to leave red notes on the crime scene, maybe he's trying to build up a reputation for himself.»
What Noah said was surely interesting, how dangerous can this guy actually be? Guess John will have to find out.
«alright... So what now?»
there were already some other cops gathering evidence, what else was there to do?
Noah looked around
«i guess there's not much to do anymore, so.. just try to not be in the way, we should be done soon, then we'll go back to the station.»
John nodded and looked around, in a few minutes, the cops got off the crime scene, leaving the cleaners to do their job.
Noah gave John a ride to the station, and once there John went into his office and started searching through some files to see if he could find anything more about this "velvet dagger", but he was left with white paper.
