Since The Sin

“Maybe it was actually some killer who did it,” Jim said as they were walking to the more crowded areas of the club. People were dancing, drinking, and making out all over the floor. The music was too loud to even hear their won voices. Jim almost screamed while talking to successfully pass his voice to Reeve’s ears.

“I don’t think so, my source is reliable,” Reeve said almost screaming too.

“Who is this source, if I may ask? You never had one before. You always ask me to look for when you get too bored.” Jim said walking out of that deafening place. His voice came out much calmer this time. But his voice had a little itch in it as if his throat hurt but screaming before, he was always a soft-spoken person.

“But I have one now. And it is kind of legit.” Reeve answered him in his manly voice clearing his throat.

“You don’t wanna tell me who he is?” Jim said which clearly made Reeve uncomfortable, Jim can see that in his expressions.

“It’s a she by the way,” Reeve said trying to end it small talk.

“A she?” Jim raised his full, dark eyebrows. “Don’t tell me the reliable source of yours is Jody.” He said almost unsure of the possibility.

“Ya, so what’s the big deal?” Jim heard just those words as an explanation from his brother’s mouth. “we had a dal remember? We agreed to work together, and what’s bad if we get the cases?” he added avoiding eye contact with his brother.

“If it wasn’t a big deal, then why didn’t you tell me before?” Jim spoke out.

“I didn’t think would bother you.” He again said still moving around.

“No, you knew it would bother me so you didn’t tell me.” Jim furrowed his eyebrows.

“Let’s focus on the job here first, we’ll talk once we are back home.” Reeve tried to end the subject. He knows that the job was more important than the useless argument for Jim too.

“Let’s go have a chat with the manager,” Reeve again said as his vision stopped at the manager’s badge wearing man who walked from where his eyes were.

Jim looked like he decided to let it go for now. They went to the manager and said,

“Hello Mr. Shears, I am detective Patterson and this is my partner detective Dolce. We want to ask some questions about the murder yesterday. Can we have a minute of yours?” they both showed their ‘perfectly forged and the closest thing to be original’ badge to the bearded and fully muscle packed man standing in front of them. Looking closely at their ID’s.

“The police already took out statements.” H said after carefully looking at the badges. For a minute both Beaver Brothers stopped their breaths by the gaze of this big man, who looked less like a friendly manager but more like an angry bouncer.

“We are just here to double-check all the facts. Will that be a problem for you?” Jim said covering up his nervousness.

“No, I will be happy to corporate with you.” This time his voice was calmer, which cooled the boys too.

“What exactly happened last night?” Reeve spoke out. His voice is always attractive to listen to but it is a bit scratchy now.

“John Phoenix, he was one of our regulars, he has been since this club opened a year ago. He is the son of one of the co-owners of this club. He always books the VIP lounge whenever he comes in, last night too. He came with his girlfriend yesterday.” The buffy man started telling us. “his girlfriend?” Reeve interrupted. “didn’t you know, they took her statement too,” he said.

“no of course we know.” Jim jumped controlling the situation.

“they were at the lounge when suddenly a waitress heard a scream and when she went inside the room, she said saw John phoenix dead on the floor, his throat ripped out, blood splattered all over.” He said.

“and his girlfriend?” Jim asked.

“His girlfriend was on the floor passed out, she wasn’t hurt but she passed out from being too scared, she said. She told the police that she saw some invisible thing that killed her boyfriend.” He answered.

“Do you know anything else about this John phoenix?” Reeve said.

“Not in details, but I know he is the son of a wealthy businessman and he was a player type of man, he had new girls every time he came here. He spends a lot of money on them.” The manager told them.

“And what about her girlfriend? Do you anything about her?” Jim questioned.

“I don’t know about her. I haven’t seen her before but she didn’t look happy coming here as his other girls looked like. She didn’t look like the other girls he brought her. She looked less fancy.” He responded.

“Okay, thanks for your corporation, can you take us to the VIP room, where all this happened,” Jim said in a commanding but polite tone.

“Yes sure, come with me officers.” Both boys followed the manager all the way to the third floor of the building.

“So, this is the place where all the actions happen? It’s nice and fancy. How much be the cost of it?” Reeve said he must be out of his mind.

“Please focus partner.” Jim whisper yelled at his brother to protect their cover.

“Can I ask you a few more questions?” Jim said to the manager and took him out of there to give Reeve some space to do the investigation paranormal way.

When the manager and Jim left the room, Reeve started looking through every bit of the blood-splattered room. After the investigation, he came out signaling his brother to follow. Jim excused himself from the manager and asked him,

“So, what did you get? Anything on the emf?”

“dude it was not anything with the emf, it was nuts in the room, definitely something supernatural is going on in the club, that too something very powerful. What did that manager guy tell you about the dead guy?” he questioned back.

“Nothing much just that he was twenty-three, he used to do a lot of illegal drugs in the club but from his father’s influence no once could do anything about it. He also told me that the girl who came with John yesterday she brought a friend with her too, and that girl is here in this club.” Jim told him.
