"ROOM 0294 MURDER CASE"

Note: All the places, characters, and scenes are purely fictional.

THE PHONE on the top of the side table was keep ringing since earlier. She had to force to wake herself up in the middle of the night to answer it. It was already one in the morning, and she can't think of any person who would dare to call her at this hour. She blamed herself for not putting her phone on a silent mode.

"Joohyun."

The moment she heard the voice from the other line, she immediately shot up to a sitting position. "Senior." She answered in a business tone.

"Got a sec?"

She wasn't able to answer her senior but she was nodding though the person won't see her doing it. This kind of tone, she knew this is about work stuff.

"I heard you are on vacation. So, I was wondering if you got some time." Her senior added.

"I am. But since it's you who called, and since this will be the last day of my vacation...yeah. I guess I have time." Irene answered. She pictured out that her senior will nod its head after hearing her answer. "Why?" She opened the door to her veranda and walked closer to the fence.

"I want to hear your opinion." Krystal added. "I want to hear an opinion from a criminal lawyer."

Krystal Jung is a famous private investigator in their firm. But before she turned into one, she was a criminal lawyer too. After working for so long, she realized that being a private investigator is what her heart desired. She is Joohyun's senior. And there are so many reasons why she called the woman her senior.

"What have you got?" Irene ran a hand through her hair. This move is an indication she's in work mode. That she's going to focus and she's going to be serious.

"One woman found dead and naked in a huge bed inside a condo unit. She got eight gunshots on her body and two on her head. The sides of her lips were sliced. The heart of her feminity was sewed using a nylon. There were spots of blood on the floor leading to where the bed is."

Irene slowly raising her head. The details of the case caught her interest. Her lips curved up in to smirk. She always does this when a case is challenging, and she was waiting for this moment. To handle a challenging case.

"Wow," was all she could say. Just now, she heard the sirens of police cars at the background of the call.

"What can you say?" Krystal asked. The girl was obviously walking away from where the crime scene is because the sirens of the police cars are fading.

"This is major, Senior." she always call Krystal as her senior. Even if Krystal corrected her, because she wanted Irene to call her by her name, Irene insisted. Until she got used to it. "What else you've got?"

"That's all I could say for now. If you wanted to see the crime scene personally, you are welcome to come here." Krystal's tone was inviting. It's obvious that she want to thrill the lawyer so she will handle the case.

For the past years they have been working together, Krystal always cut the whole information of a crime scene to Irene. It's her way to tell the girl to handle the case. And Irene was never disappointed. So far, the cases she handled were all challenging. But she feels this one is different. It's challenging obviously, but she felt this is the case that will help her to gain more experience as a lawyer.

She got the wealth. As a matter of fact, it was more than what she wished for. The main reason why she became a lawyer was because she wanted to help people who can't afford to have one. She wanted to give innocent people the justice they deserved.
