Chapter 2

November 10 1979

Saturday 11.50  am

A sleeping figure covered with  dark colored bed sheets dreamed in the fantasy world until a loud discordant noise destroyed the world. Thought the women about early twenties sitting on a dark red sofa beside the window as she stared the golden colored police badge which shimmered as the sunlight reflected on it ,protected by the usual black cover . She put the badge inside her maroon colored skinny jeans's side pocket and moved the black shirt sleeve from her wrist to see the time from her silver watch. After a couple of seconds she got up from her seat . Her feet which were covered by socks and resting in the black sneakers slowly marched towards the cafe counter where was written' pick up'. She showed the recipient to the waitress. The waitress took the recipient and said,"I'll get it". She nodded. The waitress gave her a tray in which there was a white plate on which a chocolate cinnamon rested. Beside it there was a cup in which cappuccino was preset . She took the tray and placed it on the dark wooden table in front of her seat. She ate the warm chocolate cinnamon and took few sips from her cappuccino. Then she got up and went out the cafe. She walked in the hallway and stopped at a particular room. She knocked. "Come in", replied a voice. She pushed the blur glass door and entered the room.  The room was quiet simple. There were big glass windows and a man was standing starring them. In front the windows was a desk and  three chairs. There were book shelves occupied by books and trophies/awards"Chief you wished to see me?", she asked.  "Yes Adrienne", replied the voice. The man turned. "det. Lance Bates will be transferring to Washington branch". "Why him always?, what's so special about him that sparkles in chief's eye like he is detective just like me, every time him" , she thought. "And there is a transfer det. Denzel Duncan from Kimberley branch ", said the chief.  " Denzel Duncan you may come inside", said the chief.  The door opened and a man about mid twenties entered. He was wearing his police detective uniform. His dark brown hair were quiet messy and short. "Adrienne This is Denzel Duncan and I want you to make him familiar of this place", said the chief. She nodded.  "det. Denzel Duncan nice to meet to you", said Adrienne. "Myself det. Adrienne Davidson", she moved her hand. "Nice to meet you det. Adrienne Davidson", he replied and shook the hand. 

Adrienne pulled the door and left . Behind her was Denzel who also left. They walked in the less crowded hallway where the light sparkled on the caramel colored tiles. The walls were from bottom to middle dark brown and from middle to white. There were few windows, all were covered by office curtains. At the end of the hallway was a desk and a chair. There was a board on the wall behind the chair and desk on which documents were  neatly attached. She stopped and said,"This is the reception". "If you go straight from reception there is the front door or in other words the entrance same goes with exit", she continued. "Beside the chief's office there deputy chief or chief's assistant office who is Mrs. Jones", she said. "She manages the files". She took right and stopped at a door. "This where all the amature or junior inspector/detectives get their missions", she said. "If you take left, there are stairs". She walked towards the stairs. She reached the first floor. "This where all the senior staff members are since you are senior you will be working here just like me", she said. There were many rooms. She continued to walk upstairs. "This the forensic lab". "Dr. Garry Lenard is the head of the lab". "The deputy head is Dr. Charlotte Simmons"."There are a lot of doctors and scientists if they interest you get to know them". "They are also elevators, they are just beside the stairs, sorry I forgot to tell you".  She went right. "If you take right there are the washrooms and cleaning equipment keeping room used by the cleaning staff". She took left. "This is the cafeteria". She went down stairs to the main floor. "If you take right there are stairs/elevator to basement floor where you park your vehicles". "Furthermore questions please ask now", she asked. "Umm no more question Thank you Detective", he said. "Plase call me Adrienne", she said. "Your office room has your name written on it".  She left. She went in her office room. Hr room was simple just like other but the desk was occupied with files and books and newspaper. She sat on the chair and continued reading the reports. 

2 Hours later

"I must get new reports I read these all", she said and picked up the reports and walked out of the room. She pushed the elevator button and waited till the elevator came. She went in and pushed the button of ground floor. It started and stopped after a while. She came out. She knocked and went in the office of deputy chief. "Ah Adrienne What bring you here, you must be for reports well read the all", said a women about late thirties. "Oh, okay", she said and walked out and marched toward her office room. While walking. She heard laughing sounds. She stopped , knock and entered the room. There were few detectives. "You guys have got a big laughter", she said. "Ah Adrienne this new guy is a lot funny", said Rudolph. "Adrienne join us stop being so nerdy", said Tricia. "How about we go out to eat", said Donna. "Yeah", "Yes", "Nice idea", said others altogether. " I'm not going", said Adrienne. Every one started pleading. "Ah, alright", defeat accepted by Adrienne.  They left the building. They sat in the black ford mondeo and drove to Burger Textile.

3 Hours later

Adrienne was watching television at her place until bell rang. She got up and answered the door. "How may I help", she asked. "Ah Adrienne I heard your place up stairs is for rent", Denzel said. "Yes it is for rent, do you want to?", she asked. "Yes please", he replied. "Rented deal ", she said. "Per week $1000 plus food charges and it should be taken from the kitchen downstairs to the right", she said. He took his bags and luggage to upstairs. 

1 hour later 

Adrienne went in the kitchen and opened the fridge door. "There is nothing I'll have to buy food", she said and went outside after picking up her bag. She walked on the crowded footpath and stopped at a particular place. She pushed the door and entered. She bought few raw food and fruits along with vegetables and was heading to home until something mysterious happened.
