"Victim was just crossing the road when a bullet shot him dead. "
Vane explained his gloves tained with blood it was still fresh as the murder happened between 1 am to 3 am in dark.
"Hm any footages? "
Damain asked focusing on the body.
"No, the cameras worked perfectly before 1:00 am and after it they were blanked out possibly a cut off with connection. "
Vane replied with same serious tone.
"Of course it is clear it 'is' planned. Recite everything about the victim again. "
Damaim replied standing.
"Name emen cross age 27 works at nearby corporation mach interprise. "
Vane said it in all one breathe.
"Anyone came here did you informed his family? "

Crime scenes
People was now afraid

Everywhere it was blood
No one was safe
And they were demanding protection they need it
Emen's parents and financè reached, they were nervously waiting for damain they were trying hard not to cry.
Suddenly the gate opened with a rushed loud thud.
"I am sorry that I made you all wait."
Damain in a hurrying tone said and gestured them to sit. He himself sat on the black leather chair.
His hair messy a black shirt with brown pants these were his investigation clothes always in which he looked strangely very much handsome.
"So tell me everything I want each information you know it will help me who murdered emen. "
Damain said in a serious tone his eyes focused on victim's photo.
"Hm...you can ask everything we will try our best to answer. " Emen's father made himself stable wiping his wife's tears.
"Uhm... Tell me about his behavior or any changes, phone calls or a dispute. "
Damain said eyes now focused on the man in front of him.
"He was different quite silent... He had no friends till now." He paused wiping his own tears flow of sorrow in one push.
"He was not my own child we adopted him when he was 5...a child with dreamy eyes and I still sees him like this. And dispute? No way it can a person like him can't get into a diapute I know him. "
He replied with a sob.
"Uhm I understand Mr. Cross but it really doesn't answers it all I want to to know about everything like any thing was strange with him when he went out. "
Damain spoke up a glint of irritation in his voice.
"No he didn't—" Before he could complete his sentence emen's mother spoke up
"Why don't you tell him the truth! Our son is dead, malcom. " Sobbing loudly her voice in pure anger.
"Enough! Mr. Cross please provide me the correct information or I would Use my Other methods. Your son is dead, don't you want justice? " Damain, also in his full range spat out.
"Uhm but it can hurt our family. " He spoke about the real reason.
"See I am giving you my words your family is under my protection you have to speak up. " Damain again tried to assure him.
"Uhm okay, so two days ago we all went for a family dinner but I came back to our home with my wife because she became suddenly ill. Emen was alone with meia his fiancè"
Pointed towards the silent girl sitting in a side. She was silent, her eyes were dull red circles under them though
she was beautiful .
"I didn't know what happened then but emen only told me that he received a call and— "
Again he was I Intruppted by meia
"He didn't received the call, he dialed it. "
And that was enough for damain to brust out.
"That's enough! Another lie and I uh... Please I am asking you nicely tell me the whole thing. "
Mr. Cross shivered at his high voice.
"I... I really don't know he dialed it. " His voice broke out, eyes teary it's too much for a grown man to explain his son's activities before his death.
"Meia I want to talk to you can I. "
Meia nodded and talked about it
"When they left emen excused himself to go it took much time and then I followed him he was dialing a number—" Meia stopped taking a breathe a long one "we fought over that because I heard him talking he"
Meia finally ended her sentence.
"Hm can you tell me what he was talking about? To whom?. "
Damain asked again ticking his fingers on cold table.
"He was talking to a woman because I heard a little voice from the call's Other side but I didi herad much but the thing I heard was 'you don't need to be this kind again. I don't know where vane is... Don't ever call me ell.'
We fought over it, and I left him there.... Not—*sob* knowing that it would the last time I would see him. "
Meia broke into tears unable to stop her sobs, and damain he was numb after listing vane's name. He can't be that vane he was sure but some how its the gut feeling.

The day ended in inquiries. It was night, moon was up. Answers and questions were processing in damain's mind. He wanted to answer from vane it can't be him but still he can't lose a chance.
Suddenly his phone's notification popped out with a loud noise.
He checked the phone.
Angle:
"I thought I should message you because you work all day night umm I wanted to ask you did you reached home andddddd did you ate.... If you didn't then don't be stubborn eat on time and don't eat from hotel it's unhealthy I am sending you a address eat from here okhayy, bye❤. "
Wait damain was... Smiling, a pure one he never smiled like this... It reminds him as home. A home he doesn't knows he owns...
Damain put his phone back. How a stranger can be this caring or is this some Other trend to be nice then leave forever. That's the worst part.
----
Damain reached his house. Ate relaxed but then he remembered that message. He doesn't texts much but still he thought to return the favor.
"I reached home. Ate from where you recommended and yeah I am comfortable now. Thank you for asking. goodnight angle, bye❤. "
