Here is Chapter 2 of "Gold Rush" Enjoy and please review.
Mornings at One Police Plaza always started off slow, and this often annoyed Major Case Squad detectives Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames.
"Why is work always slow in the morning?" wondered Robert.
"Uh, cause all the crime happens in the afternoon." replied Alexandra.
Robert gave Alexandra a weird stare.
Just then, Captain Deakins came over to see the two detectives.
"Got a case for you two." he said. "Supposedly, a man got robbed of $25,000 in gold by a suspected drug-dealer known to us."
Robert and Alexandra knew exactly who they were tracking down, because a few year prior, they had arrested Thugs for stealing a police car, and using it to hide his drugs.
"Seems like that Thugs guy is at it again." said Robert. "Wonder how he got out of jail."
"Good behavior." replied Alexandra. "He got lucky during trial and only got 90 days. He only served 15 days, before they let him go free."
"Interesting." said Robert.
The two detectives walked out, but were instantly stopped by Jack, the man who had been robbed by Thugs.
"Are you the detectives who work for the Major Case Squad?" he asked.
"We are." replied Robert. "Weren't you robbed?"
"Yes I was. And I need help."
"What can we do to assist you?" asked Alexandra.
"Look, all I'm asking is for you detectives to arrest the man who took my gold, and give my gold back to me."
"That's what we do." said Robert. "Do you know anything about the man who took your gold."
"All I know is that he came running out of nowhere, snatched my gold, and took off running."
"Did you happen to get a description of him?" asked Alexandra.
"He was so fast, I couldn't notice anything about him."
"Thank you sir for your information." said Robert. "If any new details break, we'll let you know."
Jack walked away.
At lunchtime, the detectives walked into the office, and were greeted by Captain Deakins, who had news for the two."
"As you both know, the NYPD likes to invite police officers from across the country for work study." said Captain Deakins. "Well, a group of LAPD officers will be arriving in a few days. They are friends of mine."
Robert and Alexandra were excited.
"I know you will teach these officers to work hard, and I want you two to be on your best behavior."
"What about the case?" asked Alexandra. "The man who got his gold stolen is really concerned."
"I'm sure the visiting officers would be happy to assist you two on solving the case."
The two detectives were determined to solve the case, and get the gold back to Jack.
