A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Chapter 2

Police P.O.V
We received an emergency call back at the precinct,according to the caller a murder had just happened in one of the rich neighborhoods downtown. That is where we were headed,
"Ernestine",my partner and best friend Tom said.
"Yes Tom?"
"Do you think it was Karma"
"I think we are about to find out" I said as I looked for a parking spot beside the building , and carefully parked the cruiser beside the sidewalk. As soon as I turned off the engine I got off the car and slammed the door shut,making sure Tom followed me before locking the cruiser.

We walked along the sidewalk heading towards the white tall building in front of us.When we reached the main entrance an old woman was already waiting for us,she wore a white blouse and a purple coat and skirt ,she looked really elegant.
"You must be the detectives Ernestine Beckett and Tom Hail,I am Agatha Swan.The owner of this buildings" said the old woman.
Ohh that's why she's dressed as an elegant grape,I thought.
"We indeed are the detectives,may we come in?" I said,in my most posh voice.
"You sure may,we need to go all the way up to the third floor,where the murder was comitted,........or would you prefer seeing the victim first?"
"Victim" I said quickly
"Ok then. At first I thought we might've had a jumper ,but then I saw he was bleeding from his neck,the wound looked serious."she explained solemnly.

While we kept talking about the details ,we started nearing the place where the body was lying,someone had put a sheet over it. I reached toward the sheet and pulled it off in one swift motion.
All of us gasped.
The scene was ghoulish,the man had a horrible expression over his features.It looked like he had tried to fight back.He hadn't wanted to die.Maybe he had something to fight for ,I though to myself.
"Did he have any family" ,I asked
"No he did not"Agatha replied "or at least not that I knew of,nobody came to visit him"
Apparently not family,I thought.
As I took a look at him I saw he was a fair man,he had brown hair and some green eyes,that were now unfocused towards the sky, looking at something we didn't quite see.
We evalued the wound,it had been a precise cut to the jugular,he had died really quickly and at the hands of a proffesional.

"We need to check out the crime scene.Miss Swan,will you take us?" I asked,already predicting what we would find there.
"Yes , I shall take you."
We walked into the building,it was neatly decorated and had some expensive looking furniture.We went all the way up to the 3rd floor. When we got there the door to the apartment was slightly open.
"This is where I stay,I already saw the body,I would like to not see the murder scene"Agatha said,with a disgusted expression.
"Ok then my partner and I will be going in"said Tom,looking at me expectantly,as if waiting for me to open the door and walk in first.
I rolled my eyes at him and opening the door, I stepped forward ,going into the once occupied apartment.
As I entered it was visible there had been some struggle,some of the furniture was on the floor and the wall the farthest from the door was splattered with a crimson red liquid I knew to well.
"Blood" said Tom , "lots and lots of blood"
I sighed, it was a bad scene.
We walked towards the wall and as we got closer it was evident who the killer was.All of our doubts were crushed as we saw the name on the wall,written with dark,dried blood.
"Karma", I whispered.
