Improved Essays

The man holding the gun walked over. He looked directly into her eyes, and fired once again. The killer chuckled as he stepped over her motionless body.

Detective Joseph Walker entered the crime scene. This one was a mess. He counted eleven bodies, all of them workers at the Triscott house. The real victim was upstairs though.

Walker strolled into the interview room, and saw a frail man that was genuinely upset. He asked his questions, and by the end of it, he was certain that Mr Triscott wasn’t the killer.

He pushed through the crowd not saying a word. He was nearly at his car when she appeared. She was stunning.
“Hi there,” Walker said in a slick voice, “can I buy you a drink?”
“Can I get some quotes about the case?” The woman replied back.
“Well, that’s gonna cost you more than a drink, miss…?” The detective
