Chapter 3 The unfinished case

I was a bit nervous, this was my first time on such a task. What I was doing before were minor crimes like robbery ,pocket lifting but now homicide! That was bigger than my expectation. Finally, we got there,there were some reporters standing outside. I turned on my body cam and stepped out of the police van. "Please excuse,the police is here!" Shakes said and the reporters made way for us to pass. The body was kept in the hospital mortuary. "FBI, we are here for Bob-G 's body for some investigations". Shakes said to one of the doctors and we brought out our badge.

"Right this way " the doctor said and lead us to where the body was kept. "You may now excuse us" Shakes said and the doc went away. He began to take pictures of the body, while I inspected. I touched the body looking for a stabbed spot,but there was none. I turned the body around and saw a hole which passed through the heart to the front. Only a gun could do that ."something was wrong? Why was his daughter found with a broken bottle? What is this about?" I said all this to myself. "Found anything?" Shakes asked. "Yeah, look! I replied. "What is this about?"Shakes said. "Did you find any bullets? He added. "Nope!" I replied "Let's head back. I added. "Thank you doc for your time."Shakes said and we went off. At the station "I will like to see the man's daughter " I said to shakes and he gave me go ahead. "The keys" I asked and he threw them at me. I wanted to call Speer, but this was more important. As I headed to the interrogation room where she was kept. I saw her through the glass and she looked sober. I then pushed the door and went in. "Flora right? I am here to ask you some questions and I will like you to cooperate with me ok!" I said calmly and she only nodded. Then I sat down. "Where you with your dad on the day of the incident? " I asked. "I didn't do it, listen to me, I didn't do it " she replied with fear. "Where you or where not there?" I ordered. "I didn't do it " she kept saying. She wasn't giving me the answers I wanted, she was shaking as if someone was after her. "Are you ok? Come on, you can tell me". I said and touched her on the shoulder. She began "My parents got separated and it happened to be the day for me to Visit my dad. I went to my dad's house, he bought me popcorn and we began to watch the cricket match because my dad loved cricket. Not long after,he stood up and went into the kitchen to get some juice, then I heard a gun shot. I stood up to see what had happened but someone held me by the mouth and put a handkerchief over my nose. When I woke up, I found the broken bottle in my hands". Flora said. "So you are saying , you were druged?did you see the person's face? "I asked . "No, no I didn't "she stammered. "Ok ,I will get back to you ok!" I added and went out. "What did she say?"Bobby asked. "She said she didn't kill him" I replied. Robin who stood near the interrogation room ran inside and slapped her. "Why did you do that for?"I asked "She is lying "he said panting "Why did you say that?all the evidences have proven her innocence, the father was shot not stabbed and why would a 13 year old girl do that to her father?" I said boldly. he was speechless then he went away. I packed my stuff and headed for home. "Found any leads?" Eddie asked. "Nope, but something is fishy" I said. "Fishy, I don't smell any fish" he teased. "This isn't the time for jokes" I said angrily and went away. I got into my car and headed for home.
