Just your ordinary average Joe, but that's just what they want you to think. For all that he died wearing a suit and tie he was in no way the average business man. Sure there's a plan boarding pass, and a pen cap but how on earth do we explain the rest? A key clip with no keys, a doctors receipt, and a fishing weight what does it all mean heck I've got no clue. With those found what could have happened to the mans keys? His wallet? Jeez there's not even a phone on him for goodness sakes. To be honest it looks like a straight up mugging but he's not dirty and as far as i can see he's got no bleeding wounds so who did him in and why?

      When we asked around we found that our body belonged to Joshua Berkley the CEO of Berkley Banks International. Now I ask myself what would a bank president be doing in a back alley in the slums of town? Shaking my head i leave the station after i finished writing up the report to go and have another look at the scene of the crime when i hear shots being fired near by.

     I hoof it over to where i hear the shots coming from gun at the ready in case someones armed and still shooting at moving targets. As i tear around the corner I made it just in time to see a ragamuffin of a boy collapse as three men make a break for it into an unmarked van that tears around the corner and out of sight before i have to process what just happened. I ran over to the boy to check to see if he's still breathing even though at this point i don't hold out much hope. He's bleeding heavily but otherwise still breathing I started applying pressure asking him a steady stream of questions makings sure he stays conscious until the EMT arrive to take him to the hospital. 

      He's 19 and his names Chase and he was originally from New Hampshire and as far as i can tell he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. As the ambulance pulls up I make sure that chase is still okay before I answered any questions about what just happened.

      As one of Miami's top defectives I know this has something to do with the other crime scene just not  what yet, but I will find out of that you can be sure. What could they have been after? First the bank president and no some small town nobody kid. This just wasn't adding up and I had a feeling this wasn't just some small time crime spree whoever was doing this had a plan in mind and it wasn't looking good for the people involved. 

       As i headed over to answer questions about what happened these thoughts raced through my head none stop I just had to know or it was gonna eat away at me bit by bit.
