I enter the complete wooden floor to ceiling of my office incorporated with bespoke designs with John hot on my heels . It smells musky .It is completely sound proof, you can have a shooting contest here and no one will notice . Except for the handcrafted African Blackwood desk and chairs for me and my movers or rapporteur , the office is empty. I find Alex already seated with files spread out for me. With his sandy brown hair and dark complexion his face gives nothing . But his rigid posture tells me all I need to know. The quisling was his subordinate . I take my seat on the other side of the desk and John starts briefing about the situation. 'The culprit is 29 year old Carrie Underwood. She stole all the documents from the manager's office of The Allele she could including receipts ,lists of entertainment staff along with the guests they were entertaining. She worked here for about 2 years with no track record but light flirting with Jacob and a one night stand as well.' I can detect his hesitation when he clears his throat and continues ' There is a speculation that she was involved in the murder of Maam's husband. ' I spin my head towatds him so fast that my gelled hair become lose. John stops and his hands start to shake' The report submitted to me had clearly stated that him and his girlfriend were burnt in the the accident . DNA analysis confirmed it.' For a second John looked tongue tied. ' Allow me to explain' said Alex making me face him once again.I stayed quiet so he could continue. He said' The DNA report was indeed true it was confirmed a number of times but the there was no birthmark on the body on her shin. Yesterday the Mark's team informed me with these details. He slid the file towards me and continued' According to Jacob , she indeed have a mark on her shin that he accidently saw when she accidently tripped and cut her shin while she was drunk. He cleaned her wound thays when he noticed it. And when we further investigated her family it was found that she had a twin sister who was kidn*pped about 6 months before she started working here and was never found ' I pressed the bottons and the bar comes into view . John grabs the whole bottle of Golden grain and 2 glasses. I fill my glass and knock it down in one go enjoying the burn . I open my eyes to see Alex gone , hmmm good call buddy. I dismiss John with canceling all my appointments today. After knockimg half the bottle I open the files to study the details of situation. I pick up my phone and dial a number. 'Kill them' Blood on my hands again . I contemplate all the possible solutions for situation. If it was that bastard then the enemy is closer than I thought and I smell a rat. I quickly grab the files and move to the towadrs the window . I chill breeze of mid autumn cools my skin . I take deep breaths to chase the remainig effects of alcohol. I slide documents in an envelope take my phone out typing a text. ' V investigate' . I leave them on the table and leave the office. Its quite about 12 when we leave the office . The traffic is a b***h despite the late hour , the roads are cramed due to an accident far ahead . We change are route and head towards the main road . I let my mind wonder to my mother staring blankly into the space. My throat closes when I think about her face , her smile, her soft hands--- , I feel my eyes sting . I realize the I am not as sober as I thought I was. Suddenly the car comes to a halt and I am brought back to reality. I realize we are on the main road and there is a girl carryong another woman on her back. 'Sir this girl came out of nowhere and stepped infront of the car' He steps outside and shouts. ' hey girl are you out of your mind ! What are you doing jumping infront.....' she doesn't listen to a word je said and starts running towards my door. I contemplate using weapon in public but it will cause a real mess. This day is becoming better and better. She ooens the door and is about to slide in when she notices me , she stops for a second but enters anyway . She places the woman in her lap with settling her head on my thigh. My driver is standing shellshocked at her actions but recovers quickly. He runs to the driving seat and wait for his orders. Mean while she is checking for the womans pulse and starts rubbing her palms and soles. I realize the the head of the woman on my thigh is none other than Carrie Underwood. Thats when I realize this day is not as bad as I thought it was. 'Move' I say making the girls shouting stop. She resumes her work wothout glancing at me. Actress..... interesting. We are about to enter the hospital road when she asks the driver to roll the window down . He locks his eyes with me . I jerk my chin and the window is rolling down. The girl starts shouting EMERGENCY before we even stop. I txt my doctor to take the case . He is there with the stretcher within seconds. He pulls the body from the girl . She steps outside the car watching the stretcher go. For the first time I take in her appearance. Her small brown eyes are wide open, pupils dialated. Her black and front is mostly covered in blood. She is breathing hysterically. Her hair are everywhere. She does not look a day over 16 . All of a sudden she crotches down and murmurs something. She starts swaying. I am out the door before I realize I am moving and by her side before her face kiss the asphalt. Yeah I have to say it this day is getting better and better.
