“Wow look at who decided to finally show up, we have been waiting for you for almost an hour, you remember the case we were working on? The homicide case?” detective Baker asked immediately Becca steeped in the office and to her desk, Baker was always eyeing Becca ever since she got working in that police department, she was likeable and no doubt even their boss tried his luck but she was wildly untamed and a hard nut to c***k, no one really understood her, not even her closest friend Joanna, with whom they had been friends since they were still kids, well Joanna’s mom died when she was still a kid and she had a rough time growing up with her step mother, she met Becca when she was in her second grade, she was staying with her aunt and they were neighbors with Becca’s family and that is how the two grew so close to each other, they were always inseparable, joined the same high school after then and ended up taking the detective course in college , they both had the same passion, and sometimes it leaves me wondering if there truly is someone with whom you can be friends with from your childhood, end up doing the same job and having the very same dreams with them and men could not stop admiring the two, but Becca got most of the attention, she was extra beautiful no doubt

Her skin was copper-brown, like a windfall autumn leaf, smooth as the moonstone, she had dazzling, champagne-brown eyes and half-moon cheekbones, with an electrifying smile and berry-red, puffy, pouting and blossom soft lips, her hair was velvet-black and it caressed her pinched-in cheekbones, crashing on her shoulder in a beautiful way. Her room-grabbing smile that always lit up the whole room was what Baker was always lost in, he always imagined spending some quality time with her because she had all he ever wanted in a woman, her well sculpted figure, with a bumblebee waist that was always conspicuous in the leather trousers and boots she always loved putting on, no doubt she was a leather type of clothes lover because that is what she always put on, it was uniquely sexy in a way she didn’t know but was always known to her secret admirer, Baker, her colleague from work

“It is still early in the morning detective Baker, save your breathe for today’s work, we have a whole load of a case to solve, why don’t you focus on it just for a few seconds then you can flirt later, she is single remember?” Joanna said and the rest laughed, she always knew that Baker was interested in her friend and she tried telling Becca about the same thing but she would always brush it off, she was not interested in Baker, she didn’t think of him to be the wild type which was always her taste

“Whatever Joanna, no one was interested in your opinion although thank you, no coffee for you guys, you came in late and don’t say you were stuck in the traffic because we use the same route” Baker said and Becca decided to interrupt, in as much as she always loved them arguing, she was just not in the mood for that and she was kind of distracted, she was still thinking of Anthony and contemplating on whether to call him or not, he did leave his business card but she was not sure if it was the right thing to do, I mean she told him bluntly never to come back and that it was a onetime thing she was always doing with other guys when she got the chance and was not ready for any sort of entanglement or relationship, but she was still confused at the turn of events, did she really want to call him back or she was just being naïve?

“We are definitely not taking any coffee today Detective Baker, and the last time I checked you wasn’t our boss in here, so like Joanna said we need to get going on the homicide case we were working on today, we are supposed to give our report today, so I think Detective Oscar will be helpful to you, you two should go and take the medical report from the medical examiner while Joanna and I head to the crime scene, we need to hold a few interrogations, with the witnesses and the suspect but that is later on today” she said and they all agreed, they would always work together and that is why lieutenant Adams trusted them enough to let the investigate most of the cases at the department, they were always punctual and accurate

“Okay as you say detective Becca but we will be joining you in the field as soon as we get the report from the medical examiner, I know you don’t want us to help you solve this case but we love working with you guys, don’t forget we make the perfect team here, you can ask lieutenant Adams about that, I am sure he will be willing to share much with you” Detective Oscar said and didn’t know that their boss was around them, he cleared his throat behind them and they all turned to look at him

“What is it that detective Becca should ask me? I heard you” He said jokingly, he knew the four were his best team and would do anything to make sure they solved the cases. “Anyway about the homicide case, the victim’s family want to her body to start preparing for her funeral, you do know how this works right? So just like detective Becca said, you two should go get the medical report from the medical examiner, the Detectives Joanna and Becca will go back to the crime scene to find other clues into solving the case and I will interrogate the suspect who is in custody, so without wasting any more time, let s get going along, we need to solve this case today and forward the report to the court, you know how this works so, good luck” he said and walked away leaving the four of them still discussing

“Sometimes I hate my work” Joanna said as they drove across town to the crime scene

“And why would hate your work when the beauty of it is just here with us, driving around doing the interrogations, collecting reports and honestly this is my favorite part of being a detective, ever since my uncle was wrongly convicted for the murder of his own wife and kids, which I am sure he didn’t do, he was framed by the people who murdered his family, I have always wanted to be a detective so I would solve cases and make sure the culprits are found and that they serve for what they have done and not let the innocent people get convicted f what they did not do, my uncle was assassinated and that incident is still fresh on my mind, this is the best part about being a detective and by the way it has been long since we went undercover, I have always loved disguising myself into someone else, don’t you?” she asked as she initiated the last corner to the victim’s house where she was found dead

“Of course Brenda, I sometimes wish I was called Harriet, my undercover name it is a beautiful name unlike Joanna “she said as she unfastened the safety belt and got out

“ I also love Brenda and I always prefer it to Rebecca , but I think Joanna suits you well, you don’t have to hate your name, it is a pretty name for a pretty lady like you, just embrace it” she said with a wink and Joanna shrugged

“Whatever, here we go, I will ring the bell” Joanna said and pressed the door bell

The homicide case they were working on was about a girl who was found dead in her room, in their hose, she had been strangled to death and her boyfriend was the first suspect to the case since he was caught on the camera a few hours before the death of the victim, he said he did not kill his girlfriend and would never do that because he loved her but what didn’t make sense was that the two got into a heated argument before he left, exchanged some bitter words and later left but the victim was found dead the following morning by her younger sister who was going to ask her if she could drop her off to school, she was always dropping her off to school because it was on her way to college but that day something seemed unusual, she knocked on her door several times and when she didn’t get answer she decided to tell her mom what was going on, and when her mom came to check and the door was locked from inside , they had to literally kick the door so they could get in the room and that is how they found her dead on her own bed, her body was cold and there was nothing they could do, they called for 911, it was a mysterious case since the boyfriend thought to be the culprit said he was innocent and would never hurt her because he loved so they were waiting for the medical report from the medical examiner and then from there they could figure out what next
