Entry #3

I got my first case.

It took a while, but I managed to get my hands on a good one. A mysterious man comes in and slaughters single women living alone and cuts them open and steals specific organs of theirs. Who knew my first case in the U.S. was going to be so gruesome?

However, I'm not complaining (for once). It is quite interesting seeing the oddities that inhabit this country. To think, this news can appear on the front page and no one bats an eye. It's as if viciously murdering women for their insides is common. How disturbing.

Alfred seemed extremely excited when he heard about my case. Well, I didn't tell him voluntarily. He snatched the case file from my hands and skimmed through it on his own. After my scolding of how that was against the law, the buffoon gave it back with that irritating smile of his.

So far, the case has been very tricky. The clues that were left behind don't have any correlation to one another and each victim didn't connect in any way- besides being single, that is. My ignorance on the human anatomy does not help either for a lot of the key details in this case are the damage done on the bodies.

Wait, I have an idea. I wish I never pondered upon the thought but I did and it's the most reasonable and effective idea I have to get further into this case... I'll continue this entry once I come back.

There was a line drawn between the two separate paragraphs

With a heavy heart, I am here to confirm that I, Arthur Kirkland, am not doing this case alone... I feel as if my independent pride has been lowered significantly.

Alfred has agreed to partner with me on this case as my doctor. (Un)luckily for me, since he majors in health he knows all about the human body.

I never thought the day where I needed a partner would come. I would boast on how I could solve all my cases on my own with no help. Now here I am, beckoning an American to my aid. An American.

However, I do have to admit... Seeing Alfred get overjoyed about being given a spot in this case was nice to see. I remember when I was given my first case and how excited I was. It was touching to see him act the same way. It was cute.

Tomorrow I bring Alfred with me to the crime scenes and bodies. Let's hope I don't regret this decision.
