Chapter 13 A 3AM Phone Call
216 Words
James Locker woke up with a twitch as his phone rang in the middle of the night. He watched his nightstand clock which showed the time 3.00 am. He reached for his phone and somehow managed to press the respond button. It was John Dean on the other line.
John Dean:
- Good Morning sunshine, time for your first assignment as a detective.
James Locker:
- What the f**k? Why can’t criminals work in the day? It would be a lot better for my rhythm! And how come the local police called you before they called me?
John Dean:
- Well, they haven't updated their staff listing, so they called me when they could not reach Michael Fuller. Ironic that they called the right person by mistake!
James Locker:
- Yeah, I could tell by your reaction at the staff meeting that you were disgruntled, but don't let that s**t affect your work.
John Dean
- Just saying, detective! The crime scene is at the DiMaestro mansion at the Esplanade in Mosman. Come as quickly as possible; I will assemble the team.
James Locker took a shower and made himself a strong coffee. He felt nauseous from sleep deprivation. Today was going to be a long day as he steered his car towards Mosman.
