                                                                                          (2014)    The perfect time to establish power and authority over the heathens. The people are hovering through the streets as the police force do their best to hold their ground against the angst and powers of the deviants throwing a riot at the very square where the center of strength lies, the NBI headquarters. Having their positions in front, it appears that the people want to appeal regarding the strictness of the government due to the increase of curfew hours and additional rules regarding economical freedom in the crisis that we are experiencing today. A lot has drastically changed in the political figures and important structures of the government. All of it seems to affect every little nook of matter in this country, including the status of our international affairs. Staring outside the windows and looking at them in curiosity, they have every reason to do such a thing since they got the short end of the stick. However, I cannot consider their efforts as a form of revolt, which apparently is what the mainstream media would tell you otherwise.  The intensity in which they emphasize their actions is shallow rather than exuberant – based on my personal experience with rallies as a riot officer before, not everyone who participates knows what they should know. Puppets for a cause or ignorant puppets? Whether they decide which one to pick, it is still the same, doing all of these for the sake of the higher up’s amusement. . Taking a sip from my morning coffee, I still have plenty of time for my meeting later with the department head. Probably another case that they want me to chew with a few setbacks on my tail to consider. As of now, the entire country is facing a political and economic crisis due to a murder that has happened a few weeks prior to the arrival of the ASEAN (Association of South-east Asian Nations) leaders. It just so happens that one of their trump cards died a very controversial, and mysterious death that up to now we are still rendered helpless, due to the rules that inhibit us from sinking our claws deep into the case. You can say that our hands are tied over our backs – we can essentially perform what is necessary but it will surely leave some consequences on our department or even at a national level if we aren’t careful. For now, based on the news and the mainstream papers that I acquired, the victim was Armando Yun, one of the prominent figures in the Philippine business sector. He is known to be dominant over all the major establishments of weapons manufacturing roundabout the islands. Not much has been stated regarding his assets and liabilities, but it is interesting that even the government doesn’t want to disclose any of the information, yet even to our department. It wasn’t much of a discussion among the officials until word came to us pointing the depth, and severity of the case at hand. It became a top priority upon the discovery of new pieces of evidence two days after the assessment of the corpse. Given the time of three weeks, a bloody case has already been established by the court, a day after the discovery of the body. On the other hand, I have my own investigation regarding the whereabouts of this case but it is best to have my profile low until it is necessary to move without restrictions. It was also apparent to me that I will have someone to assist me on some elementary tasks like a s**t ton of paper works.  Galvez sent a certain individual to aid me. Someone that is close to one of the officials or directors in the forensic department. It makes it quite difficult to deny the offer even though I am not interactive with the people handpicked to help me in most cases. I have a certain level of competence considerable of such acts, and I do not want to spoil my thoughts on thinking who this person is. Whether I enjoy this case or live in despair all throughout the entire year; I cannot wait to perform the operation firsthand. After all, the art form that I often use requires intimacy with knives, exploring the beauty of the human body. (End of Chapter)
