Murder on the Pitch

Broadcast as of Now

 At 4 Whitehall Place in London about 10 miles away if you travel on the A4 or about an hour and a half if you go by tube is the home of the Central Investigation Division of the London Police Department.

New CID Constable Daniel Biers has been on the London Police Force for 3.5 years before being promoted to the CID. His supervising officer is Detective Chief Inspector Ellis Taylor. Today is expected to be a slow day and with the majority of the metropolitan police department on site in or near Wembley for the FA Championship game the two officers decided to brew some tea and watch the game on Sky Sports via the television in the breakroom.

The television pundits were the 20-year English League/Premier League player and 10-year English national team player/captain Freddie "Crazy Legs" Parkes, Football Sunday (similar to Red Zone) pundit Corey Pritchard, and with them on the main desk was retired manager and 4-time Premier League champion Cameron Leach. The three were discussing possible strategies each of the coaches: Gregory Keyes for the local Rowland F.C. and Diego Fuentes of Essen-Mulheim should conduct as well as players to look out for. The majority of them counted Darren Yugo as a wash that his placement as a substitute could prove costly and that he should not have even been on the roster in the first place.

"Bullshit." Ellis Taylor said with a thick Manchester accent

"These old cocks just sit behind a desk and say something controversial. They said the same thing about Thomas Griffin last year before Manchester bought him. They said the owners could have used that money to get 2 young inexperienced players from other clubs but you know what? He got the golden fuckin boot."

Daniel just stared at his usual posh-like supervisor cursing at the television like a 1980s hooligan.

"Is Manchester Federal your favorite team? Daniel asked

"You betcha kid. Born with Yellow and burgundy in me blood. How bout's you kiddo?"

"Uh. Its Tenby City."

"Tenby? Weren't you born in Bournemouth?

"Yes, but I grew up in Tenby."

"But they're not even in the Championship?"

"But when I grew up I was at their game when they were promoted from League 2 to League 1. I invaded the pitch with my father, which was the best moment I had with him. Still have the picture of us smiling on the midline with a bunch of players and fans running around."

"Well, kid you have a good reason for rooting for a bum club like Tenby City."

"Thank you, sir."

"Heh, Footy is on the Telly. Drop the formalities. For the next 90 or so minutes just call me Elly."

"Thanks, Elly." Daniel said with a quiet yet proud voice

As Essen-Mulheim started to kickoff at 3 pm on the dot the two of them just sat and watched the game. The CID is a special branch of the London Metropolitan Police Department and other commonwealth nations mainly utilizing plain clothes officers the CID has fewer officers compared to the usual policemen.

With the occasional yelling from the futball-loving Ellis Taylor acting like he's at a pub and the quiet Daniel Biers just watching as if hes on the couch in his flat.

Before the half as Daniel goes up to start brewing some halftime tea Isaac Shaw, the rookie got a miraculous header which commentator William Marsden described as

"Brilliant header by the rookie Shaw! Coming out of his shell under the brilliance of the sun of Wembley shining a spotlight on this man's future!"

As the Camera cut to Darren and Gregory Keyes smiling and laughing on the bench almost immediately Ellis was still yelling in amazement
