Guilty Since 2010

Scene Four

Scene four:

January 19, 2013

DS CHAMBERS entered the meeting room. Which already all the other people in the department where there.

DS ATHERTON Hey, you finally showed up.

DS CHAMBERS (confused) What are you doing here, are you working at the station again?

DS ATHERTON I just stopped by to check in, I'm just really missing this job, but then my kids would miss me. So no, I'm not working here again, But HEAD OF COMMAND just told me to check out the cold cases. Oh, and told me I'm guaranteed a job as DS whenever I come back.

DS CHAMBER Wow you're just that good huh?

DS ATHERTON Of course!

HEAD OF COMMAND Shall we being now?

DS CHAMBERS's work phone began to ring. Excuse me I have to take this; I'll be back shortly. He picked up his phone and answered it while outside the meeting room. DS CHAMBERS speaking who is this?

MAN Hello Mr. CHAMBERS it's P ANTHONY H. Do you remember me?

DS CHAMBERS Oh you, yes, I remember you, what can I do for you?

P ANTHONY H. Well since we know each other I wanted to ask about those cases. I was very curious about those cases since I've never seen anything like that before, it seems very intriguing. Are you allowed to tell me?

DS CHAMBERS Man I'm sorry but we've got nothing on those cases–

P ANTHONY H. Oh my team too, it seems like the murder was done perfectly.

DS CHAMBERS Yes. But, as I was saying we've got nothing on those cases, and even if we did, I'm not allowed to tell you anything about it, you would find out just like the rest of the public.

P ANTHONY H. Oh that unbelievable, we're both practically on the same page.

DS CHAMBERS Rules are rules, sorry– P ANTHONY H. had hung up on him. (whispering to himself) why is this man so curious out of the blue, well it is an interesting investigation. DS CHAMBERS looks at his watch, Oh shoot, the meeting. The police officer took longer than I expected and still got mad at me. HEAD OF COMMAND is probably upset.

The next day...

DS CHAMBERS phone began to ring, again it was P ANTHONY H. Hello, ANTHONY, what more do you want? I told you I can't tell you anything–

P ANTHONY H. No sir, I didn't call you because of that.

DS CHAMBERS Then why else would you.

P ANTHONY H. Sir I just thought that I would save the trouble of my station calling your station to call your office–

DS CHAMBERS Hurry up would you please, we still have other cases going on.

P ANTHONY H. We found a body wrapped the same way as the previous cases. It's at the Severn Beach. The Forensics team have already come and they are taking photos of the area.

DS CHAMBERS Thanks, I'm leaving the station right now he glanced at his watch and should reach in 10 minutes.

Two weeks later...

DS CHAMBERS Sir the Forensics team have found out that the body was Naomi Sanchez, murdered on August 29, 2019.

DS CHAMBERS Sir this is just like the rest, how are we ever going to found out the killer? And what are we going to do now?

HEAD OF COMMAND I don't know I haven't seen anything like this before, are best bet is to close it, move on to your other cases.

DS CHAMBERS. Sir, how can we do that three people have died already–

HEAD OF COMMAND CHAMBERS! PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY. Some things aren't in our control, now go focus on your other cases.
