Fighting Harvest

Chapter Two

The two detectives made their way out of the office building, located in the middle of the busy city called Savannah. The building is primarily used for evidence storage, board meetings regarding recent or cold cases, or officers lazing about when they're not on duty or actively on a mission. The two fools aren't very much welcomed within, Anthony is known for his stubborn personality, and Clyde still being somewhat new to the force, ends up tied with Anthony which isn't good for his image.

As for now though, the two made their way to Anthony's parked car, getting situated inside before taking off towards the crime scene.

"Where is it we're going again?" Anthony asked as he turned out of the parking lot and down a busy road, it was around noon so mostly everyone here was off on lunch or simply driving too and from locations.

"Down uhhh..." Clyde fumbled with the notepad in his pocket, pulling it out as he flipped through a few pages to find where he had written down the information "Down Grove Avenue.. just off of 21st Street" he read off the paper, glancing over at Anthony who nodded, pulling the car into the next lane to make a turn after a light.

The car ride was quite awkward, but thankfully wasn't silent due to the radio playing soft music, and the honking of the busy traffic just down the road. Anthony would occasionally sip from his coffee cup during small stops, making no effort to stir up conversation, even Clyde took the hint to be quiet.

The music playing through the radio faded away, being replaced by the voice of the station's hosts. A girl and a guy casually talking about the artist for the song they had just finished playing, cracking a few jokes, which eased Clyde's mind as he listened intently, even Anthony quietly listened while stopped at an annoying red light.

"You should have been there live, it was a magical show" the male host ranted, followed by the female host laughing softly.

"I'd imagine, but let us move on to our next topic-" she cleared her throat as the sound of shuffling paper could be heard "Rumor has it that Ivory was caught this Wednesday"

"No way, the drug guy?"

"Yeah! A single officer took it upon themselves to bring Ivory out in cuffs, but it ended in a big mess when they requested backup after being caught" the female host chuckled along with the male host.

"I heard about the blockage around Main Street, but I didn't think it was about that!" The male host spoke through soft laughter, almost mocking the idiot who attempted to do it all on his own, who currently sat listening to the whole conversation.

Anthony wrinkled his nose as he took a turn, speeding down the road but was forced to slow down due to the congested traffic ahead. Clyde frowned when he noticed the embarrassment Anthony was being put through, reaching his hand over to change the station on the radio, but stopped when the hosts kept talking.

"You know, instead of following around one of the biggest crime bosses in town, how about the police find those missing persons" the male host spoke up "I mean, it's like a new person goes missing every week! And instead of finding out why, the police instead track down someone who's not even that much of a threat... yeah Ivory has done some bad things, but there has to be a bigger threat out there causing all these disappearances?"

The female host hummed in acknowledgment "I see what you're saying, and I fully agree with that.. I mean, remember Gregory James, he went missing just two weeks ago" she explained

"And Laura Shannon, don't forget her.. she was a lovely lady" the male host's voice sounded unwell, remembering all the missing people who never found closure due to the lack of police involvement.

"Also Harold Glover, the small-town cook who wanted to go big.." the female host sighed "he's been missing for I can't remember how many years, but a very long time"
