Pre-sales and the launch of our official website is also well under way in the coming weeks… ~~~~
Something is missing in this case, she said to herself. I don’t believe I talked to everyone. I need another witness. Renee witnessed this, but with her record, it won’t stick in court. Kitty doesn’t think Alchemist is a suspect, but that can’t be confirmed. She’s in love with Alchemist. That’s obvious. I need to speak to him.
Kelly picked up her phone and spoke to the warden on the other end. She asked him to get Alchemist ready for an interview. Immediately after she hung up the phone it rang. A familiar voice on the other end responded her after she answered the call.
“Hey, Kelly,” said Nicole on the other end. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m working on this tedious case.” Kelly was surprised to hear from Nicole. She had not heard from her since that day. “How about you?” Kelly continued.
“Well, I actually haven’t heard from you, and was hoping I could see you today. I don’t know. I’ve been sitting here thinking about you. I tried to call your cell earlier, but I didn’t get an answer.”
“Yea, I think I was on my way to lunch. Why are you just now calling me?”
“Honestly, Kelly, that night had me embarrassed, so I’ve been scared to call.”
“Well, I…”
“Please Kelly. I had my first patient in a long time die. It wouldn’t have been so bad had it not been a three year old boy.”
“Yeah, I heard. I was going to call and check on you because I knew that you worked in intensive care. I’m actually working on that case.”
“What time do you think you’ll be getting off?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Well, please call me. They gave me a week off to deal with the situation and I can’t deal with this alone.”
“I will.” Kelly didn’t want to blow Nicole off intentionally. They still had been friends before that night. Nicole had been her only female friend. She wanted to keep her close since she once again felt as if she was losing Steven. It always seemed the Nicole came at the right time.
“We don’t have to do anything. I just need someone to talk to. I know that night was probably about the alcohol, anyway.”
“I will. I have to talk to you later. I’m backed up here,” said Kelly, hanging up the phone. She didn’t want to hang up so quickly, but she wasn’t sure what to say anyway. She knew that night wasn’t just about the alcohol, but didn’t want to explain that to Nicole. Even after three months, she debated as to whether she would do it again. She used Steven to try to forget the incident, but it had not worked.
Kelly continued to ruffle through the papers on her desk. It had already been passed the time she usually solved a case, so she wondered if she would solve it at all. She was known as the only detective to not let a suspect hide right under her nose.
Kelly began going through the folders on her desk and came across one labeled Bison Case. She hadn’t seen this on her desk before today. She grabbed the file, ignored the top-secret words on it, and opened it.
The Chief must’ve put this here, she said to herself. This was not on my desk before. Kelly read through the file, finding information that the Chief said earlier being true. She read through the file in blocks.
Mohammed Bison: born October 26th 1983. Alias: “Alchemist”. Address: 12053 Maple berry Rd Nashville TN 37995. Known contacts: Carmen Thompson AKA “Kitty”. Relationship: Friend. Alton Reid, aka “Proper”. Relationship: Cousin. Jeremy Banks: Alias unknown. Relationship: Business partner. Dante Johnson, aka “Prime”. Relationship: Friend. Kelly continued to read 20 other contacts before flipping through the page.
Mohammed Bison has refused to increase his monthly contributions. Initiate full investigation. Gain all evidence for a probable arrest. Possible undercover operatives necessary. Kelly could not believe what she was reading. The Chief was right.
Why would they put this in a file, she thought to herself.
