Ok, this ideas been nagging at me for a while, just a little note- the characters in this are completely fictional and NOT based on real life,

Also, I can read 4 stories at a time and not get the plots mixed up- I will continue my other one

Disclaimer- none of the detectives are mine

Please R&R constructive flames are great, I'm working on spelling 

OPENING SCENE

We are in a large room, a fire roars behind the grate and through the window we can see snowflakes being tossed around by the wind. A well-dressed woman and a man sit curled up on a red leather couch. The man is reading the Newspaper, the woman is holding a baby and watching 2 children sit on the floor, unwrapping the 2 presents lying under a tiny pine tree. The eldest child- a girl who looks to be about 15, laughs delightedly and looks up towards the woman

"Look mum! James got me that book I asked for- that one on DNA"

The woman looks crossly at her daughter and then at the other child- a boy of about 8

"You read to much Loren- don't you know, men find intelligent women intimidating! - You'll never get a good husband! And as for you!"

She glares at the boy

"No dinner! George dear, can you watch them while I go put Krissy to bed?"

George glances over towards the children as she leaves the room, his face shows distaste

"Your mothers right"

He declares glaring at Loren

"You read to much, give me that book"

Uncertainly, Loren holds out her book. He snatches it from her hand and tosses it into the fire. Tears fill Loren's eyes as she watches her present burn; the man sniffs and folds his paper

"That'll teach you to be a smart ass"

He leaves the room. A tear runs down Loren's cheek as she silently watches the book burn, James looks at her, alarmed

"Don't cry Loren- you never cry! Its just a book!"

"I'm sorry, its just...you saved up all the money from your paper rounds for that!"

The boy shrugs awkwardly

"It doesn't matter"

The scene fades

We are looking out the window- it is dark and the snow has stopped. The camera zooms out slowly and we see George and the woman sprawled on the floor blank eyes staring up at the ceiling, their throats cut

HEADQUARTERS, present day

Lily is sitting at her desk going through some reports, Scotty comes up behind her and glances at the report she is reading, frowning he states

"That doesn't look like one of our cases"

Lilly jumps and quickly flips the report over, Scotty looks puzzled- she obviously doesn't want him to read it which was odd- she usually didn't mind him reading reports, after all, it wasn't like they were personal or anything

"Boss has something for us"

"Now?"

She seems reluctant to leave her report. Scotty looks surprised

"Well unless you want another detective to take the job and end up spending another week going over reports…"

She nods reluctantly and tucks the report into her draw

………………………………………………………………………………………………

John Stillman was sitting behind his desk waiting for them

LR-"What's up Boss?"

JS-"Do you remember the Hunter case?"

Lilly looked blank Scotty looked surprised

SV-"George and Katie Hunter? Yea I remember that one. No leads- only witnesses vanished same night"

JS-"well, two of them just showed up"

LR-"and they want to talk?"

JS-"hardly- James got caught shoplifting and Krissy was to young to leave behind"

LR- "where are they now?"

JS-"I had someone bring them over- there in room B"

LR-"lets go"

Scotty and Stillman shared a look

SV-"um, Lil… don't you want to take a look at the case first?"

Lilly looked confused for a moment then a faint tinge of red colored her cheeks

LR-"ahh, yea- that's what I meant- lets go and find the box"

And she hurried off in the direction of the box room

JS-"what's up with Lil?"

SV-"beats me"
