I sat in my usual mediocre seat at my mediocre coffee shop. In the mediocre district , I began to read the report written up by the previous detective on the case :

Written by : Detective.Olivier.Wilson
Date : 18th June 2001
To summarise what exactly happened , A  Mother went missing , with no sign or evidence as to where , after giving birth to a newly born baby. I interviewed the Father to see if he had any clue to where she could of went. As far as he was concerned his marriage was like royalty - No issues or signs of domestic abuse.

It was a unearthly mystery as to what happened here. Following this I examined the delivery room for any evidence : All I was able to retrieve was a bronze crusted ring. I originally thought that this was her marriage ring although it had strange engravings on it which read 'Sinestro' , Perhaps she was part of some sort of club?

I spoke to the Doctor who carried out the birth , he said and I quote 'Mrs Jones gave a perfectly ordinary birth , if anything she has been one of the best I've worked with to deliver a baby to the world. However she didn't really seem to have much focus on the baby' It was strange really , The statements didn't seem add up.

Additionally the Doctor told me about the blood stained hand print left on the right side of her hospital bed. It appeared to be of a darkened red which suggests it was produced from a lot of blood loss from the hand?

I have filed up on all evidence from the crime scene in Locker 267 in the Evidence room.

After reading the report , I tried to understand what exactly happened. It was quite bizarre , made the littlest of sense to me. At the bottom the paper appeared to be a small red card , Even from a glimpse I knew what this card was. Every police officer knew what a red card meant - Emphasis on 'every'. The red card stated :

Name : Oliver Murphy Wilson
Date : 23rd June 2001
Condition : Deceased.

In the space of 4 days the DCI had somehow met with the grim reaper? Questions rushed through my brain like a stampede of deers.
This was going to be one of the hardest cases I'll ever tackle.
