It's Elementary!

Meeting the Detective

We begin this story on a rainy day almost tranquil with cars passing by and people walking on the sidewalk underneath umbrellas. Soon a couple walks by the window of an empty coffee shop, well almost except for two people sitting in a booth one with an older green haired woman and a young teen who are sitting there silently while the teen takes out a cigarette and a lighter. soon the teen breaks the silence.

???: So Mrs. Midoriya you seemed adamant to ask around about me and my services. So consider them officially in front of you. What can I help you with.

Mrs. Midoriya: Well Mr. Nightingale I need you to investigate a personal matter of mine.

Mr. Nightingale: Hmmm I see suspicion of an unfaithful partner?

Mrs. M: No I need you to look into a matter of bullying.

Mr. N: Bullying... surely you're joking, what is it some workplace drama?

Mrs. M: No it's my daughter recently about a month ago she started coming home covered in soot and sometimes her uniform has been singed.

Mr. N: So assault hmmm that's never good, but I'm not sure why you wouldn't bring it up with the school board.

Mrs. M: Because they lie to my face and say that no bullying happens on the premise.

Mr. N: I see well consider your case accepted. Also please call me James.

Mrs M: T-thank you so much now what is your fee?

James: Please wait until after I figure it out then we can talk about money. Now if you'll excuse me no time like the present to get started. Oh before I go I'm going to need the name of the school.

Mrs. M: Aldera Junior high.

James: Thank you Mrs. Midoriya now I'll contact you with my findings.

James had walked out of the cafe punching in the name into the GPS on his phone and looking around and expertly weaving around the people walking around before making it to the gates of the closed school. James had tugged on the gate before laughing to himself.

James: I do not understand why I keep doing that It is usually never unlocked but who knows maybe I'll catch a break one day.

James looks around making sure no one is looking before he snaps his fingers and the gate slides open.

James: Easier every time. Now if I was an asshole where would I hide evidence of assault?

James continued to walk down the hallways before finding the principal's office he snapped his fingers again and looked around at the desks and family portraits.

James: Of course he's fat and bald.

James then went behind the desk and looked at the desktop computer before plugging in a flash drive to download data. James began wondering what the password could be before he turned on the screen and realized the idiot never logged out.

James: They make it way too easy.

James began looking through the documents and other files unfortunately he didn't find what he was looking for but he did find a lot of budget cuts in multiple subjects going to a new parking lot. James was going to dismiss it but remembered seeing a brand new paved parking lot already so where is this money going. He began snooping more to find where the money was going before he found two separate files named curriculum. James opened the first one and found a bunch of schedules and school plans such as field trips and other sorts of things class related. James then went to the other folder and it took a bit to load before James saw a bunch of inappropriate photos of the girls of the school. Such as photos of under their skirts and some even going to the bathroom. It took everything James had to not hurl right then and there he continued looking to see how many there were before he realized each girl had their own section and soon saw his client's daughter name. James hesitated before he clicked on it and saw dozens and dozens of photos of her some inappropriate others with having writing on her desk and locker there was also some where parts of her school uniform were ripped or burned off. James was livid almost to the point of wanting to kill the man. Luckily he was a professional and imported the files to his hard drive and closed the files tab. Shuddering to himself he looked if there was a directory to staff rooms. Luckily there was and there was a CCTV room he eventually turned off the computer and began walking to the room and he eventually made it and began looking into different days and saw the bullying that he was originally after he quickly made a copy of the videos plugged in his flash drive and began looking for anything else that should catch his eye finding nothing he deleted the footage of him and turned the cameras off before leaving the building. When James was outside he sent a quick text to a detective he knew on the force telling him to meet him in the usual place at night. James quickly got a text back reading 'is it serious this time or a hunch.' James sent a text saying 'very serious' he got a response saying 'I'll meet you there at nine pm.' James looked at the time and saw it was only two pm.

James: 'I have to let Mrs. Midoriya know that this is much bigger than her and I thought.'

James then found her number and gave it a call before a ring had even happened the phone was picked up.

Mrs. M: Mr. Nightingale have you found anything?

James: I have but I need to discuss this with you in person immediately it's so much worse than you or I could even imagine.

Mrs. M: Oh no alright I'll have to tell my daughter I'll be stepping out again.

James: No she needs to know this as well and while I'd rather not involve your daughter in any stress this discussion cannot happen in public. It contains very sensitive information.

Mrs. M: Then please come to my apartment if it's that serious then I don't mind.

James: Very well Mrs. Midoriya I'll be as quick as I can.

James began to jog to the station to catch a train and when he got to the stop he ran out and continued running to all the way to the apartment complex which he realized was the one he lived in as a child when he got there he ran up the steps until he found the number of the apartment and began knocking on the door quickly. He waited for little bit and when the door swung open. He froze at the beautiful girl he saw.
