Abby and Aaron were walking down a path of a large natural park. The sunset shined through the clouds that just barely enabled it to, and engendered a peaceful mood for a cool, quiet night.

"Wow, it's so beautiful out tonight, isn't it, Aaron?"

"Yeah, and I'll say that the sunset looks amazing from here." They both looked at the sun that was peeking through the clouds, giving the sky a glorious golden glow.

"So, Aaron,"

"Yes, Abby?"

"Should we talk about the case?" She looked at him with a little smile, and tilted her head slightly.

"You know, I was thinking. We don't usually have walks in the park with a sunset this nice very often, so why don't we just, walk a bit further."

"Actually, that does sound like a good idea, chap." she started speaking with a British accent, hoping he would play along.

"Oh is that so, Abby. Well, I'm chuffed. Really, I am."

"Brilliant. I would love to walk further."

Some time later...

"You know, I'm getting quite knackered about walking. Let's just go and work on the case."

"Great idea, there's bugger all to do around here anymore anyways." They began laughing as they  traversed to Aaron's car. They were a couple steps away from the door when a boom of thunder startled Abby, Woah, that scared me!"

Aaron laughed, and went inside. He inserted the key to the ignition and started the car.

Abby began to speak, "Wow, wouldn't you say that was quite enjoyable?"

"I agree, that walk was nice."

Abby playfully punched Aaron in the shoulder, "So, lad, where are we headed."

"I was thinking to just head over to my place."

"Alright. We better get some coffee then because, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a bit tired."

"Same. That'll be good." They drove down a 20 mph road, and chatted about where to get the coffee.

Upon arrival at Aaron's house, they foregathered all of the case files onto the kitchen table, and began categorizing different information. The sun had started setting which made the sky a light pink color, and the clouds added extra magnificence to the painting.

"Alright. Where to begin, where to begin. Okay, so..." he started shuffling papers around to find what he was looking for, and took a sip of his coffee, "there's a video recording of the murder, a description of the murder by two witnesses, and there's a fingerprint of one of the murderers. What should we start working on first, Abby?"

"Why don't we start with the fingerprint?"
