Cold-Blooded

Suspect #5/Shawn Mendes

Lauren's POV

"Alright, Mr. Mendes so to begin with what did you know about Michael?" I asked waiting to write down what he will say.

"He was a man that will cheat on his wife. When I first moved here he was really nice but he and his wife had a quite toxic marriage," Shawn says.

"Okay did he look like someone who will have a lot of people despise him?" I ask next.

"No, he was a pretty humble guy, at least that's how he came off to me when I first moved in," Shawn responds.

"Okay so how about the killer our detective informed me that you saw the killer's cut."

"I didn't see it. It was night. But I did see that they were holding onto their right arm," Shawn says.

I got that down, smiling, knowing that we have another clue. "Did you see anything else?"

"No they were wearing all black and it being night didn't really help either," Shawn says.

"Good point Shawn well thank you for your time today." I bite my lower lip and look up at him. "One more question for you. What's your blood type? I asked.

"I really don't know," Shawn responds.

"Okay, I'll be searching up your medical information than, may I?" I asked.

"Of course Lieutenant, anything to not have your suspicions," Shawn responds.

I stand up and smile. "I'll be on my way now Mr. Mendes," I shake his hand. "Also thank you for the tea."

"Of course Lieutenant," He smiles.

"Oh and uh if you find out anything else can you please inform us?" I smile.

"You'll be the first," He returns my smile. "But one more thing Lieutenant."

"Yeah?" I turn around.

"You said you were in the same situation as me, what kind of advice would you give me?" He asks.

"Hold onto him. Don't let him go for anything especially if you love him," I advise.

Shawn looks down at his shoes and nods. "Okay thank you, Lieutenant, have a great day!"

"You too Mr. Mendes." I walk out of the house and back to my police car. I wave at him goodbye, enter my car, and leave. The drive back to the station felt like hours. Once I entered the station I immediately went to the lab knowing Ally and the rest would be in there.

"So what did you get?" Ally asks.

"Whatever Bennett said then it was probably the same but he did say our killer accidentally cut themselves on their right arm. Shawn said they were holding onto it but that's all I got from him," I said.

"Okay so it looks like we will be looking at our suspect's right arm for the rest of the investigations," Ally says.

"So about that raid at the house. Should I call SWAT Sergeant Andrew Bazzi to go do it?" I asked.

"His group of SWAT members is better at finding stuff than us. I'll think about it," Ally says.

"Good cause you'll be going in with them. You found the murder weapon under the planks in the shed you'll for sure be able to find more stuff in the second wave, " I lean my hands on the counter.

"I guess so Lieutenant," Ally chuckles.

"Come on you are the best detective you solved many cases," I smile.

"Because I have the greatest Lieutenant as my partner duh!" Ally wraps an arm around my torso.

"Aw your just making me blush Allz, " I smile.

"Aww so cute we have work to do girls," Zayn and Justin say.

"Alright they are right, let's go," Ally says. "Did you also get Mr. Mendes' blood type?"

"Oh no can you search up his medical information I have to go interrogate Austin, " I said.

"Sure Lieutenant, " Ally smiles.

We walk up to the office section of the station, we depart our way and I walk to the holding cell where Austin is. I unlock it and slide it open. "Come," I motion for Austin to stand up. The brown-haired boy stands up and walks over to me. "Turn around " I take out my handcuffs. Austin turns around as I handcuff him. I back him out, close the cell, and start leading him to the interrogation room. I open the door to the interrogation room and push him in. Austin has been awfully quiet with me so I'm going bad cop on him today.
