�The death of Jerome Parker is huge.� Captain Hutchinson stated. �We�ve got media sniffing around ever since the two of you got back. So what do you have for me?� �So far not much leads.� Joey said. �The neighbors didn�t hear any gunshots but around 8:00am the house alarm went off. A green sedan was seen racing off. We have partial plates � LWF. I�ve already filed an APB. Miss Louisa Holt, Mr Jerome Parker�s steady girlfriend hasn�t shown up yet. Apparently they were having relationship problems and according to gossip Miss Holt enjoyed frequenting a male stripper club called Moon Shadow. There were apparently several occasions when Miss Holt bought a �friend� from the club home.� �It�s too early to tell if this was a crime of passion or something more business orientated.� Pacey continued. �Word is Parker Enterprise was about to launch some revolutionary software. Our technicians are looking at Mr Parker�s files at the moment but we�ll also have to talk to the people at Parker Enterprise as well. Valentine also found some interesting stuff in Mr Parker�s bedroom.� �Valntine? As in Detective Drue Valentine?� Captain Hutchinson barked. �The same one, Captain. He and Wolfe showed up saying they were bored. Not much work to do.� �Oh really?� the Captain�s tone of voice was mild but there was the tell-tale flare of nostrils. �Well I suppose I�ll have to give them both something to do.� �There is the Emerson report.� Pacey suggested. �What with this new case Joey and I are going to be behind in our paperwork.� �Fine. Pass all your paperwork to Valentine and Wolfe. So�as you were saying?� �As I was saying, Valentine found a lot of interesting stuff in Parker�s room. It appears that either Parker or Miss Holt was into the �kink�. There�s leather, whips, handcuffs, the whole works and a huge array of other items I don�t even want to know what they�re used for.� �Interesting. Okay Potter, Witter, see if you can track down the missing Miss Holt. And talk to the people at Parker Enterprise. Witter can I have a word with you?� Joey glanced in surprise at Pacey who shrugged. After Joey exited the room the Captain spoke. �I�m not stupid Witter. I know what you�re up to.� �Cap?� Pacey asked in confusement. �Is Valentine or Wolfe giving Joey problems again?� �Nothing she can�t handle Captain.� �Fine.� The Captain answered. �But you can tell Valentine and Wolfe that I want a word with them.�
�So what did the Cap want?� Joey asked Pacey. �Nothing.� �Nothing?� �Nothing. He just wanted to make sure that I would be definitely attending the Police Dance. I guess he doesn�t trust me.� �With your reputation, Pace, who can blame him.� �Hey!! That�s not nice Jo.� Pacey protested. �Valentine!! Wolfe!! Captain wants a word with you!!� Pacey watched as Drue and Chris entered the Captain�s office. �So are we going to look for the lost Miss Holt?� Joey asked. �You lead, I follow.� Pacey replied. "Great." Joey answered. "Just let me get out of these horrendous clothes first." |
