He held out a folder and reluctantly, I took it.
I skimmed through the details as I made my way to my cubicle. My mind couldn't help but wander back to the tangled web of corruption I had been unraveling. I wanted to take everyone involved down.
I wanted to work on the bigger picture.
One murder couldn’t amount to all the murders the mob caused.
No matter how influential or rich the bastard who died was.
One did not equal thousands.
Davis sauntered over, a knowing smirk on his face. "Looks like we're on the new murder case, huh? Buckle up for the dream team!”
I rolled my eyes, handing him a copy of the file. "Dream team or not, I’m pretty pissed we’re putting the underground crime case on hold.”
He sighed, patting my shoulder as he sat on my desk.
“We were so close.”
He shrugged. “Who knows if we were? Even if we found the leaders, there’s no guaranteeing they’re going to go down.”
I shook my head. “If we had concrete proof, nothing could stop us.”
“They have connections, Anna.”
I shook my head again. “Doesn’t matter. If we find all of them and expose them, no one can just brush it under the rug.”
"I get it, I do. But sometimes, we have to play by the rules,” he said. “Besides, this murder case might lead us to even bigger fish in the criminal pond. Who knows? We might stumble upon something that ties it all together."
I sighed.
He wasn’t wrong.
Itcouldbe connected.
Influential men dying was either something highly organized or something highly unorganized. Either it was part of an assassination, or it was a simple, petty, criminal wanting money or fame.
Time would tell which it was.
“Mark my words, Davis, I’m taking the bastards down.”
He chuckled and nodded. “I’m sure you will, Anna.”
With a newfound determination, and hope that it did tie together somehow, I delved headfirst into the case file.
As hours passed, the details of the murder became clearer.
He had his watch on him.
He had money in his pockets.
He had jewelry on his hands and wrists.
This wasn’t a theft.
Was this revenge?
An assassination?
