Murder on Ice

Chapter 1

It was a crisp winter morning at Rockefeller Center. A custodian for the skating rink made his early morning rounds, as he did every morning, making sure the park was clean and safe for all those who would come for the day. Unfortunately for him and the rest of the public it wouldn't be a normal day at the ice rink. He saw it lying in the middle of the ice, a lumpy object, that looked to he like a person lying in the middle of the ice. The custodian hoped against hope that what his eyes saw were wrong, he took a step onto the ice, making sure to keep his balance as he traversed the tricky terrain. As the object got closer and closer into view, he knew what it was, but that didn't stop his body from jumping back when he made it out clearly in the early morning light. It was the body of a baling, middle-aged man, whose glasses had half fallen from his face. The custodian fell flat on his back, after realizing what had transpired, he reached inside his coat pocket and grabbed his cell phone. Fumbling his fingers over the numbers, it took him a few tries, but soon dialed 911, he uttered a short trembled phrase that he hoped never would cross over his lips, "Someone's been murdered."
