JUSTICE SEVERED

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (ONE)

"So.. ha ha huff huff... what is the new evidence" I asked the team.

"Dude... why are you panting this much? Don't say you ran all the way"

"If I did run all the way, I would've died you brain surgeon. I ran to your office. I told to team to go alone after I was struck in traffic. To make it in time, I ran all the 6 floors. As the lift was pre occupied. Hope that you got your answer. Now, what is the new piece?" I said and asked in one go. Damm I should ask them to build a new lift.

"Okay... ummm. So Raul came across an interesting piece of evidence on the scene. The evidence was found some distance across the place where the body was found. It looks like there was a struggle before the criminal took the victim. It was a button."

"Ammm.. a what? "

"A button"

"I'm sorry a what again?"

"You heard it right Ril... it was a button."

"Okay.... Okay... its better than nothing I guess. .... Seriously?! A button... Geez"

"You know there was a case a decade ago, a very hard one to crack. However, one single evidence cracked open the case and found the culprit. It was a key chain. So, instead of nonsense let us try something else, " Nicca said.

"Where is it? " I asked. He signed towards a zip lock cover on his table.

"Any blood or hair on the piece?"

"Nope! But it was not the victim's"

"Any link between the two case?"

"Other than the fact the victims are male and are from the same town, nope" he said in a low tone. I looked at him and "others can wait out" he said. I nodded.

"I'm almost certain, that only with your 'I don't care' looks u made Tia your girlfriend!"he said and stood and came towards me. I sat on the bench in the room.

"My fiancé"

"Don't boast! Anyway. I looked it up. Those two had very good records. No records of mortal enemy if that is what you are thinking. However, I came across something interesting. Leon, our minister, who has clean records, has been accused of sexual assault by his personal aid. She was later ripped of her title and news spread that she was a opposition party's spy who tried to seduce him but failed so she made a baseless accusation. Nevertheless, neither she nor her family was harmed anyway after this. In addition, yesterday night after I got a call from the second victim's wife. She asked me to look into someone who lately accused her husband of malicious behaviour towards her. Do u get it?"

I breathed out. I closed my eyes. Both had a very clean picture. Both are from a reputed background. Both died with their sexual related organs damaged.

"it won't be long before this comes to the knowledge of public. I'll see to it"

Nicca nodded and went back to his work. Looks like its my job now!
