Undercover lifeguard

Chapter 15

Sat in ops throwing a ball to Carter who threw it back "Jesus something better come up soon, I'm going to punch something" I threw the ball back "you reall need to use words...less violence...violence gets you nowhere in life" Carter smiled "get me a coffee please" I smiled at him "what no?!" I walked over and punched his arm "get me a coffee please" "okay okay!!!" I smiled as I sat down "what was that about it gets me nowhere?" Carter was about to get up when Natt walked down "we have a case" "yes!!!" I sprinted up the stairs to the room that had Patty, Danny and now the rest of us inside. "Right this is a bit of a mystery" danny pressed his photo album, "it's just a man with a stab wound?" I looked at him "yes, but this is the strange part, there is no blade that matches the wound..." Danny frowned "now this is the second murder" a phot of another man with gun shots "and before you stay it, yes it's gun shots" danny smiled "well get the bullet number and match the gun?" "Yes except we couldn't find the bullets, it's like they've been removed..." "Removed?" I folded my arms and frowned "who'd take the time to murder someone and then to remove the bullets??" Natt nodded "well we have the crime scenes not to far apart from each other, agent Stacey porter is at the scene already, she will give you my more information she has on the crimes, good luck guys" Natt shut down the screen as we made out way to our cars.

"I'm driving" I went to the drivers side "how can you I have the ke-" Carter looked at me as I shuck them, allowing a tinkling sound to ring out "I'm driving" I smiled and climbed in, we drove to the crime scene, Carter seemed quiet, not like his usual bubbly self...

We pulled up to the crime scene, detective Stacey porter greeted us at the body "hey detective porter and you must be Becca?" She held out her hand "special agent Harding" I shook her hand she smiled slightly and shook the others, "if you'd follow me I'd like to show you the bodies" "tell me, detective, do these two have anything in common?" She looked at me "erm...no not that we know of" she smiled as she continued to walk.

Back in the car I looked at Carter "Natt do me a background search on detective Stacey porter" *any reason?* "no, just do me a whole search, let me know if you find anything cheers Hun" Carter looked at me "why?" "Just wanna check" "okay?" He smiled as we pulled up outside the house of the deceased. I knocked on the door gently, a woman, mid forties opened it "hello?" "Mrs lanter?" Carter looked at her "yes that's me can I help you?" She smiled "I'm special agent Harding and this is special agent Carter...can we come in please?" She nodded and stepped aside, we followed her into the living room "you may want to take a seat" carter looked at her "I'm fine can you please tell me what this is about "I'm sorry to say...your son has been murdered" Carter continued she looked at us "what?" Her voice cracked "I'm sorry to say that...this morning your son was foun-" "how was he killed?" She stood there "an large stab wound to his chest killed him instantly" she nodded as a tear rolled over her cheek, "if I can do anything! I will help you the best I can" she sat down "can you answer a few questions?" She nodded "do you know this man?" I held a photo of the one who'd been shot "he's a close family friend" we then heard the door go, a youngish girl walked in "who are you!?" She snapped "erm I'm special agent Harding and this is special agent Carter" "why you here!?" "Erica please..." "Erica do you know these men?" I held up two photos "yeah....that's andrew fields and that's Tim Thomas" "they were both found des this morning" "yeah well they both deserved it...now can you go so I can see to my mum, thank you" "we ha-" "Carter" I tapped his shoulder he nodded and we walked out.

In the car we sat in silence again, "the mum, something not right" I shook my head, "the daughter seemed a bit..." "Detective Stacey lied" I looked at him "what?" "I asked her if they were related...she said no...two things..." I looked back at the road "one....both family members said they were close friends" "and two?" "Two...her eyes dilated when I asked her" Carter frowned at me "ha! what!!?" "When you lie, your body does things, things you can't control" "I such as?" "Your heart pace quickens, your blood pressure rises and your eyes dilate" "huh...never knew that" "how are you a special agent" I squeezed his knee "because of my amazing under cover work" he grinned at me.
