The birthday murder - Season 1 - Episode 11

.
.
I came out of the conference room,, closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally the Q&A section with the press is over. Though its that easy because of most of the question are very delicate and requires caution in answering it but thanks to my boss who informed me on time and my partner joy, who was in the conference room with and helped out in most of the question.

I went to the nearest water dispenser and drank some cold water, turning i noticed that joy is smiling……

Me: (forming a little annoyance) what’s funny?
Joy: nothing dear, just that i remembered the way you were shaking and sweating in front of the press.

Me: i don’t blame you, it not that easy you know. Most of their questions are too direct and sensitive and i have to be careful on how i answer the question so that i won’t give out some vital Intel to them,because they are going to escalate it in such a way you never imagined.

She smiled again and i just shook head.

Me: anyway that’s by the way, right now i need to speak with the chief that we are through the press and probably brief him on our progress in this case.

Joy: good,let go together.
Me: nope,i i need to go alone. I have other classified matter to discuss it. So you will go into our office and wait for me.
Joy: but ……..

Me: that’s an order
With that i dismissed her though i got some look of disapproval on her face but i know i have to discuss alone with the chief. I went into the restroom and fresh up a bit and then approached the bosses office.

I sat down on the chair he offered me, having knocked and was told to come in
Chief: how did it go?

Me: normal sir, it jus most of the question are delicate and direct.
Chief: explain

Me: sir, the asked such question as what i have to say on the evidences found against me and why i was released and being allowed to super-head the same case murder case, that i might be burying evidences?

Chief: wow, what do you think?
Me: sir, with all manner of respect i think the way the question were asked, my guess is that someone must have giving them the information before hand. Come to think of it sir, an officer was killed , i was framed for the murder and impeded our investigation for a day, my release and now the press. Some people out there are trying to impede our progress so that they cover their tracks, and my guess is that someone must been helping them from the inside.

Chief: hmmm, well a bunch of people could have leaked your arrest, we are talking about the MCIU headquarters, the step commissioners office, our office here.

I shook my head, i just the cycle was some how thin.

Chief: that’s by the way, how far with the investigation?
I gave a detailed report on how far we have gone-the codes, Donald, and the manager- and he gave us the approval to question he manager of the bar……..coming of his office, i proceeded to the ground floor, to speak with a friend of mine.

Me: sup Matt
Matt: hi jack
Me: i need a favour from you
Matt: as long as it is not to steal from the president, bring it on.
Me: funny you, anyway i need to pull the street came of Harvard street precisely 1-2 pm.
Matt: ok, what are we looking for?
Me: a black suv van
Matt: got it, what about it?
Me: (looking at his screen) i need you to run trace on the van, see if you can get its plate number and a possible I D on the occupant, call me if have anything.

Matt: sure.
I went to my office and collected my car key and side arm, indicating to my partner that we need to go and question the Mr mark.

*****************************

I watched his expression, having told him about the codes and asked if anyone else about it.
Mark: well, i dont think so. The only person who knew about it is six feet below the ground level, so i guess its just me and Donald.

Me: ok, well from the look of things, it looks like someone else knws the about the code because someone was actually in system. For now we would be leaving but i need all the info about your dead colleague.

*****************************

I dropped my car key on the desk and looked around my apartment, everywhere was a mess, all thanks the officers that searched my house. I set about rearranging my house for the next 1 hour.

I entered the bathroom and showered, came out and ate the noodles that i have prepared and layer down on my bed to sleep. I worked up at ringing tone of my cell phone, i switched on the light, the time says its 9:15 pm.

Me: hello
Caller: hi, meet me at the XYZ hotel in the next half an hour, its on the alvins corner, i have some vital information for you.
My eyes cleared at once and senses became alert.

Me: who is this?
Called: its Donald, and try to come alone or else this information vanishes…….
