Chapter 1 "The Häageneis Police, Division II"
Häageneis Police Headquarters, 12/07/2020, Tuesday, 0906hours.
In the heart of Häageneis lies the Police Headquarters; on a Tuesday morning, and on the seventh floor, four individuals are sitting around a long rectangular meeting table with one empty seat.
On my left, a young beautiful lady in her mid twenties sat there expressionless as she continues to read the report in front of her. This is Lieutenant Solomid; Solomid Fiora is a very serious and no-nonsense lady, she is on task and meticulous at the same time. Next to Fiora, is yet another uptight officer, Inspector Highnoon; Highnoon Yasuo is the cool and aloof late twenties guy in those typical television dramas. And similar to those in the drama, Yasuo is very popular among the female officers here as well.
On the other side, a brawny guy in his late thirties having an unlighted cigarette dangling out of his mouth. This is Lieutenant Edwards; Edwards Garen is a poised and carefree individual, not rushing anything through but he does manage to get his job done on time most of the time. Beside Garen, it was an empty seat with a neatly placed stack of paper on the table.
And the one sitting at the end of the table is me, Sannsung W. Talon, also known as Superintendent Sannsung by the officers in the Häageneis Police. I am an approachable and understanding superior- these are what the girls said about me in the pantry, and I am on first name basis with most of the officers in our force. However, there is this one young lad…
"Alright, does anyone know where is Veigar?" I asked with mild frustration, this boy has been late for every single meeting up to now. And it seems that my absolute disdain for tardiness has yet reached him. Diablo Veigar is an impulsive and hot-headed fresh graduate officer, who have keen observatory skills but ineffective in utilising his strengths.
"Sir Sannsung, I had received a message from Lieutenant Detective Diablo and he says that…" Fiora got cut off by a loud bang as a shadow dash into the room and landed on the only empty seat in the room.
"Supt (Superintendent) Talon, I am so sorry that I am late, there is a granny that required my assistance in carrying her heavy groceries just now." Veigar said as he is still panting from the rush to the office. I stared at the civil service scholar, the excuses Lieutenant Detective Diablo Veigar came up with are always rather simple and never cease to amaze me. By the way, he helped a blind man to cross the road yesterday and a pregnant lady to the hospital the day before. Another interesting fact to note is that he lives in the dormitory a street away from headquarters.
Suddenly, a phone vibrated in my pocket, I took out a white iPhone from my right pocket and read the message.
It is as follows:
"Dear brother White,
I've received a call from Wall's Gardens that a body is found. Please do investigate immediately with Division II.
With love,
Zed"
Xavier Zedric, also known as Zed, is the Chief Superintendent of the Häageneis Police. He is a witty and cunning man in his early fifties. Tall and lean, silent foot steps shows that he is agile and a combat ready and experienced officer. An interesting fact is that he has this very habit of calling people by their middle names, if they have any.
"Unfortunately, this meeting will be pushed back to a later date; our Chief Superintendent has given us a fresh task out of the oven. Now, let us proceed to Wall's Gardens." I announced as we stood to leave to our destination.
