Ms. Detective (I) {under construction}

1. Mission

"Miss Trisha, I'm very thankful as you got these criminals to the police." She threw a smile at his compliment.

It was her first experience as a detective and she was glad to see the response. A Criminal is a person whose heart is dark...And they can never be able to become a good human. She believes.

*Phew*

It was a long day.

Her sight stuck on the photo frame on her wooden desk. All her anger vanished with one eye of it. Placing herself on her squeaky chair, she glanced at the most beautiful thing she has.

Her family.

She's Gwen. Gwen Andrew. Being a member of a middle-class family it was difficult to choose a career she was passionate about. But collecting all her guts she decided to become a detective.

A smile appears.

She kept the photo frame properly back in its place. It's a small one, of course, in a profession like this you should be private, highly private. Especially when it's a matter of your loved ones.

The photo frame is of her 19th birthday. Her little sister made all of them wear birthday caps. The man in his 40s, proudly spreading his arms around her shoulders is her Uncle. He looks so adorable, in that red and yellow patched birthday cap. She was very close to him. And he was very proud of her. Suddenly a smile tune on her lips when she recalled her Uncle's mischievous plans to irritate Aunt. She misses those days.

*Sigh*

No tears... She never cries... She hates that. She hates to let people assume that she's weak... Cause she's not. Tears make a person vulnerable... And she can't afford that. 

Her uncle never liked her decision. She tried hard to convince him. That was the last time she cried.

Well hey. There's her cute little sister, Lily. With her arm spread on Gwen's shoulder from the side, wearing the pink shiny birthday cap. She's two years younger than Gwen. Filled with all the craziness anyone can imagine!! While Gwen and her uncle intended to irritate the Aunt, she was always at her side. That's how I developed Gwen developed an interest in detection. She might be sounding stupid but this is the truth. She started reading detective novels and watching those detective movies that Lily found not less than a lullaby.

Those beautiful memories always spread a laugh out there in her heart.

Oh yes, Lily. Let me complete it... Her name is Lily Andrew. We share a good bond still. She's always by Gwen's side. And also she's the only daughter of her Uncle and Aunt. 

The smile again tunes on my lips. The blessed one at that.

And there's she... The base of the family. A lady in her 40s smiling satisfyingly beside Lily. They made her wear a red yellow combination coloured birthday cap. She looks simply beautiful. Meanwhile, Lily's other arm spread around her old shoulders. Her Aunt. She must be her mom in another world, Gwen swears at that.

Her Uncle and Aunt never let her feel like an orphan. All the care and support brought her up.

Until she chose to become a detective. Her life just changed upside down. Uncle doesn't talk to her anymore. It's been 10 months since they talked. Also, he never interrupts her work. But it's okay.

No pain no gain.

Today, she'll show him that she succeeded in her first case. Of course, he'll be glad and take her in his embrace pouring all his blessings on her. And her Aunt? She'll be so happy to see them again like this!! How can she forget this? Her little sister, Lily! The one whom she loves the most. Everyone will laugh, play, and enjoy like before. She leaned on her chair, daydreaming, and it squeaked at that. 

She's blessed. She believes.

"Excuse me..." Someone knocked at the door. Her cabin is small and in a secret place. Only in motive to being noticed by the only person who needs me and whom I need. There must be a new customer!! I excitingly compose myself placing the photo frame aside.

"Yes," I asked standing up as I don't know how to behave professionally and ended up making a few papers fall from my desk. I need to learn some professionalism.

Damn.

I end up throwing an impression of an idiot.

Wait... It's not any new customer. This is the old one. The inspector!!

"Drug suppliers are already in your catch. What do you want now? Didn't I do my job well?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Ms. Trisha. It's not all about only drug suppliers. There's something else." He declares.

"Can you explain clearly?" I asked.

"The criminals you caught. One of the four of them, who was admitted to hospital after jumping out from that 15th floor of the building, finally died" He declares, which fills me with different feelings... I can't analyze exactly if I'm sad, satisfied, fine or what.

"So? Why are you telling this me?" I asked ignoring whatever I felt.

"We have taken his last statement. He said there was something wrong in the college. In Indian Arts University (IAU)" He sighs.

"Are they supplying drugs in college!!! Seriously!!" this surprised me.

"You have to find it out." He says in an ordered tone.

"But listen I sorted out this case already--."

But before my completion, he interrupts, "Not fully." He declares and I look at him. "Our department will support you. You will be admitted to that college through us. And there's a man named Abeer Roy. You have to follow him. You have to give his every detail." He announces without noticing a nervous me.

"But why are you choosing me for this? I mean you should hire a professional. I mean..--..." And again he interrupts.

"Don't you have the guts to be a detective then? Why did you join in the first place?" he scolds.

"I'm sorry... I just asked out of curiosity, I wanted to know how I got selected...."

"Because only you can do this." He looks at me. "Don't worry about your payment. It'll be paid by the government as you are going to do it for the nation. But secretly." He says.

I nodded.

"So Miss Trisha, are you ready for the Mission?" He asks.

Yes of course I am!! This is what I wanted!! Although I am nervous but am excited more. And after all, it's my first case which I left incomplete... I have to complete it...To make my Family proud...!! To see the same proud smile for me tuning on his wrinkled lips. I want to do it. And I will.
