Detective Horan [njh]

Four ; An Unusual Place

Harry Styles - June 9, 2013

I awoke to be wrapped in a blanket and resting on an arm chair. I must have taken off my contacts during the night.. I sat up and checked my phone for any messages. Most of them were the girls that I went to High school with being thirsty... Asking if they could stay at my place or whatever.

Niall Horan: Hey! Sorry I didn't wake you up but we have located Suspect Number 2 and 3 and they want you to take a good look at the victim's body. I held off Shauna for you, so you better be at work by 1! xx Sent at: 10:07AM 

It was already 10? I threw the blanket over my feet and stood up to stretch. I went to the bathroom and quickly showered before putting on a gray button up, black jeans, and a black leather jacket.

I put on red converse, adding a pop of color and decided to go get something to eat. What's quick that I could just get a small snack? McDonalds, Wendy's, or Chick-Fil-A...?

Deciding on Chick-Fil-A, I drove up to the drive-thru, ordered food, and sat in the car eating it. What a loner life, I live. Sure I have Niall but who else? I have family but due to me living in Los Angeles, they can't fly out every weekend to see me.

I finish up the food before shoving it into a bag and driving off to find that it is only 11:30AM. I grunted and drove up to the station. Slamming the door mildly hard, I walked from the parking lot into the headquarters and greeted people at the door.

"Hello Dr. Styles, you look well rested." Marvin complements as he opens the door for me. "Thank you, Marv." I say as I strut to clock in. 

Niall Horan - June 9, 2013

"The Doctor is here, Detective." Gretchen informs me. I nod my head slowly trying to think about this whole case. The problem with being a detective is that I can't sleep, eat, or think straight until I solve a random case like this. It feels like I'm missing something from the evidence.

I gather the files of who we accounted for and look at certain things. Okay we still need Suspect Numbers 2 and 3. I feel like there is a suspect number four that is hiding on the tip of our noses, but we're just not looking hard enough.

I rummage through the data base until I come across Derek Kane and Gracen Bridge. Derek had a record of abusing and got out of jail on parole and Gracen had a D.U.I. before. Hmm... "Hey Ni." Harry says in my ear causing me to jump a bit.

"Hey Harry, you look better." I smile before putting the files back in the drawer. "Thanks, I'm gonna go take a look at Greg Moran's body, wanna come?" "Why not?" I shrug heading into the back room designed for Examining.

"We already know he was shot once in the head." Harry states only raising my suspicions of why the killer wanted to kill him. "Wait... Didn't the killer come to Molly first?" "Yeah, so?" "That means the killer could have been either gender and judging by how they shot the bullet, I would say a female did this." Harry says looking into the wound.

"What do you mean?" "I'm saying that someone would need to buy a gun with this precision. We should head to a local gun store and check who came into that store the whole week." I nod slightly cringing at Greg's open wound.

"Well, it looks like they were shot with a common-used gun. Not sure what type but it's pretty common." "So you're saying, I could walk into a gun store right now and buy one?" I question. "With the proper license, registration, and practice, then yes." 

 I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. "Let's go to a gun shop, then." We drove there listening to Maroon 5 and we pulled up to a shack-looking store and walked in. The inside of it honestly looked horrid. It had camouflage wallpaper with forest green carpet and it just looked like a fashion nightmare.

"Heya, welcome to Bill's Gun n' Stuff, how may I help ya?" "Yes, L.A.P.D. We were wondering if we could have a list of every single person that came in here within the past week." I state holding up my badge. "O-Oh y-yes sir." The man stutters grabbing a journal from behind the desk and passing it to Harry and I's wondering eyes.

I flip through the pages to find Gracen's name, Greg's name, and Shauna's name in this list. "Shauna?" I gasp. "Why would she buy a gun from here?" Harry asks just as intrigued. "O-Oh! Officer Shauna?" The man asks.

"Yeah, did she come in here or something?" "Yeah. She said she had some business to take care of, whatever that meant." This doesn't add up. It could be the jealous ex-girlfriend, Gracen. Shauna said she needed a gun, so maybe she needed it for patrol? If so, why didn't she get an extra from the catalogue?

"Thank you, sir. Do you mind if we take this back to headquarters?" I ask pointing to the book. "I don't mind, sir. We have extras..." He says a little quiet. I nod and tuck it safely underneath my arm. "That will be all, thank you for your time." Harry politely gestures to the man before we make our way back to my car.

I put my face in my hands and question out-loud, "Why would Shauna be buying a gun from here?" "I have no idea, but whatever the reason may be, we will find it. I'm sure of it." Harry says gently placing his hand on my shoulder.

I nod and start the engine up again to find Suspect Numbers two and three.
