Digging their own grave
Chapter One
Andrea Martin just couldn't believe it. Her store was being robbed by two males dressed in black with masks over there faces. She was in the back of the store watching the close circuit cameras when she saw them walk in with the guns facing her father Albert behind the cash register.
Andrea went to push the button on the side of her desk to alert the police department only four blocks away. She was hoping that the 12th precinct will be quick about it with sending patrol cars.
"I told you buster to hand over the cash and anything of value in the store." Eddie says to the man behind the register trying to delay his actions before the police gets here. He knew that his daughter was in the back and no doubt had alerted the police.
He started to open up the register with the other man with his weapon pointing at his back with the register against the wall. "Don't try to pull anything old man." Danny much older in spite the fact he was wearing a black mask. There was a camera under neath with a voice recorder that can tape anything with-in range.
Just when Albert was going to open the register. They heard the sirens coming down the street somewhere. This is when they shot Albert in the back and jumped over to open the register and take what ever money and than ran over the counter again and headed outside to the side alleyway away from the police arriving.
Witnesses told the patrolmen that they just left running into the alleyway. One of the officers sergeant Jackie Kent a female ran into the alley way to see on whether she would be able to spot them right up to another side street. She wasn't able to see a thing accept finding a car key that must of dropped out from one of their pant pockets.
She didn't touch it with using gloves that she keeps on her body during her shift as evidence. She pulled out a clear plastic bag as well and placed the car key inside. She was going to bring it back to the station to see on whether any prints can be lifted from the item. She ran back to the store with meeting up with her partner Lt. Kenny Robert of two years together.
She heard the ambulance arriving outside before finding him inside talking to the daughter Andrea Martin. She was crying after hearing that her father is dead from the two shots to his back to kill him.
Moments later ...
Sergeant Esposito and his partner Detective Kevin Ryan arrived as well having been told over the radio that the owner of a jewelry store was shot and killed by two in black. Both patrolmen were able to talk with them to give them the details of what had happened and including a possible piece of evidence that might be important to the case.
"Sergeant this is what I found in the alleyway. I will or you can bring it back to the station to see on whether the finger printing department can pick up prints." Jackie said to him with taking a look at the car key in his glove hand.
"We will take it back sergeant. There is even an inscription on the back with a name. I will see what my sources on the street can come up with." Espo replied with Ryan inside talking to the other workers with trying to give a clear account of what had happened to Albert.
Meanwhile there was nothing more for Jackie and Lt. Robert to do accept keep the crowd back behind the yellow tape. They saw the coroner's van pull up with Doctor Syndey Perlmutter and his technician Melanie once again working the morning shift. It's been a busy morning so far with one other call in Manhattan.
Perlmutter had gotten the call from Doctor Lanie Parrish in charge of the department the past year and a half. He had just finished his shift at the hospital three hours ago. He wasn't in a good mood after being in surgery repairing a man's arm and leg after being shot from a neighbor having revenge against him. It was a long story as to why the neighbor decided to shoot him.
