The dark side
Chapter 1
It was 8am and Lilly was on her way to work. Last night she didn't sleep more than 3 hours. 'Happened a lot during the last few weeks', she thought. She saw George in her dream last night again. She wanted to forget him, but she couldn't. 'I wish that night would never have happened.'
The train stopped. Lilly walked to the headquarters and bought a coffee on her way in.
The others were already waiting for her. "Hi everyone", she said. "Hey", said Stillman, "we got a new case." Lilly sat down. 'I guess there won't be a break for me today', thought Lil'.
"Yeah?"
"Robert Deaver, he went missing in 1998", Stillman said, while he, Lilly and Scotty were walking to the elevator to get to the box room. "And? Did they find him?" "Well, someone found his body last night at the river. Forensics found a bullet in his head." "And now that we got his body, you want us to open the case again", said Lilly, glancing to Scotty.
Lilly was sitting on a chair, holding the box of Robert Deaver. Stillman had already left. He was expecting a woman, named Josie Sutton.
"Well, Robert went missing in June 1998. His wife said, he wanted to visit a friend of his, Andrew Miller, but he never got there", Lilly said, "and they never found his car." "We found his body at the river. If someone killed him, then, I guess, we'll find his car in the river."
"Where's the boss?", Lilly asked, back in the office, but in the same moment, she saw Stillman with Sutton in his office, "who's that?" "Josie Sutton", Vera answered, glancing over to her, with a bit of an evil look in his eyes, "she might join the team." "Okay, then let's start without him. Scotty and I are going to that Andrew Miller." "Well then Jeffries and I are taking Deavers family", Vera suggested. Then they left the office. 'Why the hell do we need a new team member?', Lil' thought, but actually she didn't care much. Her thoughts about George and that night were more important. Why wasn't she able to forget? 'It's been three months, I gotta look forward.'
"Are you okay?", Scotty asked while they were driving to Andrew Miller. 'Why does everyone keep asking me that? Do I look so terrible? It's my problem and I gotta deal with it, alone.' "Of course I am", she answered. The car stopped. "Here we go", Scotty said, "That's his house." They walked to the door. Suddenly they heard a noise coming from the inside. Something had fallen down. "How can you be so dumb?", a man yelled, "Damn it!" Scotty and Lilly looked at each other, then Scotty knocked on the door, both were ready to take out their guns.
