"Babe... I've got to go to work. Is that fine with you?"


"Hmmm.. yeah. Go. Order some food before you go. I'm too tired to cook breakfast and get ready for kindergarten," Tia said and went back to sleep.


"Sure," Ril said and kissed her on the forehead.



"What's it that you've got?" asked Nicca to Ril who was sitting on the bench staring at the board.


"They are uprooting the weeds of this town, that have outgrown our system. If you ask me personally I would say they are doing a great job on their own," he replied.


"Its not that easy anymore. The higher ups got a whiff of this. Anytime our phones may ring and they might start to intervene in our work. We have to do something soon," Nicca said which made Ril turn his head towards Nicca.


"How did the killer know the information our system doesn't . it seems fishy. But not all the information are a mystery to us too. Certain records of the cases were specifically told to be erased. How did those information get in the hand of the killer. The killer somehow got hand of the files and using it as a medium of road. The files are paving a way to the killer as a roadmap to all those weeds and the killer is moving forward according to it. To find the killer, the simple way is the fake the map and make the killer come to a destination we want him to," Ril suggested.


"How about we use a bait. I think I already have someone in mind for that job," Nicca said while smiling.


"I think I know who you are talking about"


"You sure do"


Nicca and Amril both smiled looking at each other.


🎵 You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you
My one, when all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
🎵

"Its your phone," Ril said and took the glass to drink the water.


"Umm yeah," Nicca took out his phone and looked at the caller ID.


"Why now?" he asked looking at the phone.


"Who's it?" Ril asked.


"Chief," Nicca replied.


"Good day chief, how's your health..."


After a big pause


"Where did you hear this?"


"WE ARE CLOSE. Give us some more time"


"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US..."


After a long breath, Nicca said "When are they arriving. Send me the details about them. I can't guarantee anything"


***********************************************************************************************


Nicca came near Amril and sat beside him. He made a huge sigh. He then spoke.

"What did he say?"


"As we suspected, the higher ups got to know. The intel came from our department. They want us to report to the meeting which will be held today by 6. Its going to be a formal meeting where they might fire or suspend us. The higher ups are mad that we kept such a high profile case from them. They think we are incapable of handling this as we have yet to produce any results. So... They are arranging another big team to take over this case. Even if they don't fire us tonight, they will for sure ban us from getting involved in this case any further"


A silence prevails for another 5 minutes when Amril spoke.


"Any news on the new team?"


"Yes... I've asked for more details,"  Nicca said.
