Chapter 2 Detective Catacutan

Cassie's POV

I woke up to the morning sun striking at my face which means it's time to get up and get ready for work.

Being a detective is a full on responsibility. People keep asking me; Why'd you pick this? This job isn't for you. You're a girl, you don't fit in here.

And yet they were right. I don't belong here, I should have taken a job like being an HR or something but I am not saying those jobs are bad. It's just doesn't feel right for me.

The reason why I took up this course or job it's because of my dad, Officer Charles Rivera; The finest detective there is.

Watching him growing up doing those stuffs, inspired me to do it. There is no night of him not telling me what happened in his day. My dad was a great and loving man but until his life was taken away.

That was in my senior year of college when someone shot my dad. I was devastated and angry. I wanted revenge, I wanted to give my dad justice but 3 days later after he got shot, the killer was arrested.

But it doesn't stop there, I'm not stopping there. I ain't just going to let anyone experience what I have experienced so I studied hard, trained hard, I did everything in my will just to make my father proud.

"Earth to Cassie? HELLO?!" I snapped back into reality when someone snapped their fingers in front of my face.

"Uh? Oh! Hi, Mika!" I said and she rolled her eyes at me.

"Oh, come on! Don't roll your eyes at me." I chuckled. That was Mikaella, Mika for short. She's a forensic scientist and also my best friend.

"Who do we have right here?" I asked her and I squatted down to see the dead body.

"This is Clifford Jones, 56 years old, a doctor and apparently he owns a clinic 40 blocks away from here." She said.

"What happened?"

"Well, Mr. Jones got shot from behind while he was opening the door to his house." Then she showed the ziploc bag with a bullet in it.

"Apparently, poor Mr. Jones was shot with a 9mm bullet and the murder weapon is here." She showed another ziploc bag but this time the gun was in it.

"Where did you guys find it so quickly and why would the killer leave it behind?" I asked.

"I don't know and we found it near that tree over there. It means the killer didn't mean to kill Mr, Jones-" I cut her off.

"The killer must have been aiming for someone else." I said.

"Bingo!" Mikaella said.

"Is there any witnesses?" I asked.

"His daughter, Joanna Jones. She's talking to Detective Catacutan over there." Detective Catacutan?

I went up to the daughter and she is indeed talking to this Detective Catacutan, Who is this guy? Why is he on my case?

"Hi, Joanna Jones. I'm sorry for your loss, I'm Detective Rivera." I said and this Detective looks really dashing.

"Thank you." She said.

"Did you see anyone coming at your father, Ms. Jones?" I asked her.

"No, please. Just call me Juna."

"Okay. Juna, did you see anything?"

"I was on my way home from work when I saw my dad's body on the ground and that's why I called you guys." Then she started crying.

"Everything's going to be all right, Juna. We will get to the bottom of this. Does your dad have any enemies?" I asked.

"I don't know but one of his colleagues hates his guts." She said.

"Great, that's a good head start. Can we know who this colleague is?" The dashing detective suddenly said.

"His name is William Harnolds." She said and we said our goodbyes.

As I walked back to Mika, the dashingly handsome detective called my name.

"Detective Rivera, we haven't met yet but I am Detective Catacutan Nice to meet you." He introduced himself and offered his hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Detective Catacutan. But I have to go back to the station." I said and nodded at him goodbye.

"I see you have talked to the new detective. Like him yet?" Mika said with a smirk on her face.

"I'm not denying the fact that he has good looks but not my type." I said.

"You always say that Cassie." She rolled her eyes and laughed at me.

*********

I was working on the case of Mr. Jones when a feel a presence of man standing before me.

I looked up from all of the paper works and there he was, Detective Catacutan. I don't know if I'm seeing things but I think this man is glowing as if he was a celestial creature.

"Detective Rivera." He said and my name never sounded that great. Wait, what the fuck?

"Catacutan " I nodded and went back to I was doing but then he put his hand on the paper.

"No need to be rude and not to be that person, Detective Catacutan but you are being unprofessional right now. If you don't have something to tell me about the case, will you please go back to your table and do some digging?" I said with pride.

"Feisty, I like that." He said and he this creepy smirk on his face.

"Excuse me?"

"I just wondering if you want to go on a date with me?" He asked and I scoffed.

"Thank you for the offer, Catacutan but the answer is no and please just get out of my face." I rolled my eyes at him but he doesn't seem to get the hint.

"Whether you like it or not, Detective Rivera. I am your partner in this case so basically we're going to be together until we solve this case." He winked at me and left.

I got up from my table and went to the Chief Inspector's office.

"Detective Perez, can you please tell me why I have a partner on this case and why him? I don't even know the guy. You could just have partnered me with Detective Ocampo!" I ranted.

"What seems to be the problem, Rivera?" He asked.

"Detective Catacutan?" I said with my arms crossed.

"Oh. He is from Indiana Police Department. He transferred here few months ago and it pretty seems he is great at what his doing. Don't get fooled by that face of his." He chuckled.

"Well, I'm not but why I haven't seen him anywhere?"

"Its because you have this cases all of the time and you didn't even get the chance to meet the guy. So I decided to partnered my best detectives."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sir but I already hate him."

"Just have patience, Rivera. Your father wouldn't like that." I sighed and went back to my table.

Out of all other detectives in the place, why on earth did I got partnered up with Detective Hot-Looking douche. Fuck my life.
