The Augury

Part 4

[Sfiso Mngadi]

I walked around this place it was bloody muddy, dance with threes and too foggy, the places my Job got me stepping into damn
" Fuck!!!...can somebody give me those plastic shoes "
One of the offices ran to give me the surgery gloves and shoes,

After putting them on I felt like a freak,
" dude you really need a woman in your life you always angry and this attitude of yours got people really scared to approach you, take this to deal with that hangover "
Me: I'm not in the mood for your shit Ian "
He laughed and I snatch the strong coffee cup from his hand following him, I look around this place fuck this was a perfect place to hide a dead body no doubt

Me: what do we have? "
I asked Ian as he was busy examining the dead body his part of the forensic team,
" Indian female must be on her mid 30, one stab wound on her chest and it looks like one of her vital organs are missing
Me: let me guess her heart ?"
He nodded

Him: two same murder in a raw now this falls in serial killing "
Me: mmm definitely"
I crouched down and looked at the dead corpses she was on her bere foot she must have been running I looked straight ahead and on my right and left

Me: this is an isolated area how did she get here?"
Ian: my team is searching for footprints but this place is too muddy I doubt will see how and where she started running if she was running or being chased but if she was dumped here I doubt will see footprints of the perpetrator I will need to take her to the lab for further examsion "
Me: her body is not yet decomposing which means it either happened last night or early hours of this morning "
Ian: true bro..."
Me: who called it in?"
Him: the guys that clean the swamp" He looked up and frowned
Him: shit I'm in trouble my boss is here "

I followed his eyes and I saw The Captain walking with a good looking woman no wait she is a dude?
Me: Is she a...?"
Ian: she dude a stud, now get the fuck away from me let me work "

I bust out and laughed the way this guy is sweating now,
The captain waves at me calling me, I stood up digging my boots in this muddy ground, I finally reached the grassy area and took off the shoes and hand glove  

"Mngadi word please, " The Captain said
walking toward them I take a good look at this girl damn she fine, light skin, dimples and fade and she is wearing that frown kind look on her face,  and yep she is definitely a stud I could tell by her dress code too

Me: sure "
Him: please meet Mbali Khumalo... "
I raised my eyebrow and looked at her
Me: The head of National forensic and Science investigation ya I know who she is " I folded my arms sizing her up, Mbali side smile and looks away

True I know the name, not the face, 
The captain: yep the one and only, Ms. Khumalo please Meet Sfiso Mngadi he is the head detective in serial killing and crime investigation"

Mbali: nice to meet you "
She says without even looking at me
Captain: looks like the killings have made its way up to The National Defense head office and they called in the big guns so Mngadi I belive you will update Ms. Khumalo here about your case and progress "
What? No, I'm not going to babysit Ms/Mr here who is too clean and looks too damn cute to be kissing girls fuck no.

Me: hold up I'm supposed to work with her!!!?"
Captain: Good I'm glad we on the same page show her around, Mbali anything you need im a phone call away "
Mbali nods and the Captain turns walking away but I followed him no fucken way he can't do this to me

Me: you know I don't work with no one you know this!! what am supposed to do with her? "
Mbali looked at us and she laughed
Captain: Mngadi!"
Me: yah!"

He stopped and breath out loud looking at me with his hands held together in praying sign
Him: look Mngadi, I don't run the show I receive orders from above and I follow them, try doing that Nawe"
Me: Bull shit ...I Work alone and that's final take her and get out of my sight "
Him: damn it Mngadi watch how you talk to me !!"
I frowned and looked down fuck this shit
Him: look im retiring at the end of the year and I'm too old to complain to the head of defense about you guys and all your demands, just do this and stop asking questions this girl she is good at this she worked overseas her entire life so if we want to catch the serial killer she will be a great help, look she is already in the field doing your Job while you busy bitching in my face!!"

I looked behind me and I noticed that she is at the crime scene and walking around she stops and crouches down, she pics up something that looks like a glass its shining,
" This is not over," I tell the captain pointing my finger at him, he cliques his tongue and walks away

I ran to this Mbali girl and find her looking at what looks like a crystal
Me: what's  that ?"
She does not say a word but moves to the dead body that was placed in morgue bag she unzip it and look at the dead corpse pulling out the arms she looks on her left arm and they was a Yin and yang tattoo
Me: what is it? "
He zips up the body and walks away
Me: whats going on ?"
Her: I read your case files two victims that were killed had this mark or tattoo in there body they all had a cristal necklace or bracelet, that was found few feet from the dead body, all of this women heart we're riped out off there chest while they were still alive, "
Me: while they were still alive?
Her: only one stab wound no strangulation nothing "
I looked at her fuck she is good
Me: yes but what does it mean? "
Her: all these women are connected they don't have families or friends here its either they were running from something or looking for someone or something "
Me: I don't understand? "
She bites her lip and thinking, my phone beeped it was The Hospital 
Me: I think we have another
John Doe in the hospital, with a missing organ "
He takes off her gloves and disposable shoe gloves I look at my shoes fuck now my shoes are dirty
She looks at my shoes and laughs
Her: I'm so glad we using your car "
Me: oh fuck "

Driving to the hospital was so long it was crazy that I'm working with a hot lesbian girl who is also is head of the national Forensic Department
isn't she suppose to sit in her big glass office and compile a report for the president or something

Her: it will be nice if you ask than assume you know me "
Me: well who is Mbali,?"
Her: I studied in Russia and majored my studies in Germany, did my intention in the UK and  worked in the USA as FBI CSI agent, best years of my life but last year I was called back home to take the position that I'm right now so here I am "

God now what? I was looking for a more personal answer then your bloody achievement, geez now I feel like a fish swimming with fuckin whales in A big sea, my achievements are way beneath her salary bracket

Me: so CSI? "
I raised my eyebrow and looked at her
Her: not you too?"
Me: you worked for the FBI?"
Her: yep "
Me: you the head of forensic which means that you and Bheki Cele have a monthly meeting and shit "
Her: yah"
Me: what? In other words you my bosses ... boss...boss..."
She laughs and places the file on the back seat
Her: Yes Sfiso im a high ranking officer in defense so what? If I love fieldwork than being stuck in a big office and being saluted day in and day out "

I dropped my mouth open
Me: now I feel like shit, I mean you heard me when I said I did not want to work with you "
Her: you good at what you do and you prefer walking alone and well I respect that so no sweat...i just need your help to crack this case that's all and I will be our of your way "
I parked the car outside the hospital

Me: so mam..."
Her: stick to Mbali please you making me old and its kinda awkward being called mam with my sexuality "
I laughed as we stepped out the car
Me: So tell me what you doing here walking in the mud and shit?"
Her: it's classified"
Me: oooh it's classified " I mimic her voice and we bust out and laughed walking into the hospital,

" excuse me, Detective...Detective Mngadi ?"
I stopped and turned and looked behind me, she moves her air from her face and I poped my eyes open, she is shot, curvy but slim caramel skin, short dreadlocks, she is in uniform ooh she a paramedic, she has nose ring smallmouth and beautiful brown eyes fuck is it raining hot girls today?

She is talking to us but I'm lost in her soft voice, she has that naturally grow with no makeup on, a humble personality that made the hair at the back of my neck stand
Mbali nudge me and I'm drawn back to reality I look at Mbali,
Mbali side smile shaking her head
Her: Sfiso please meet Nomcebo Makhayi, she is the paramedic that brought the victim in last night"
Me: Ms Makhayi"
She smiles nodding and she turns and looks at Mbali, fuck don't tell me she is into girls fuck
Mbali: look Sisi detective will ask you few questions about umufi I just need to check on the corpses "
Her: if you don't mind may I please see her too... I mean the dead lady  "
Mbali and I look at each other
Me: do you perhaps have some kind of relationship with the Victim?"
she bites her lip and looks at me shaking her head
" No," she says softly

Now that was sexy voice no doubt but I don't know maybe I'm forward here but her innocent look and hesitance to talk tells me she knows more than what she is letting out
Me: kulungile let's go"
Mbali: nice pendant you got on "
I look at her neck and back at Mbali its looks the same as the ones in the every crime scene who the fuck is this girl?
