It was very early when a message arrived on Pedro's phone, He was still sleepy but can see what it was about.
Hello Detective Pedro I am DE can you call me yes, I have a surprise for you at that address ...
Go quickly as it will start to smell.
He looked scared and thought what it was.
He got up running, got dressed, in 20 minutes, he was already at the police station, showed the message to his partner, Detective Lucas.
Both were friends, since they were 5 years old.
They did the whole school together, after college, until they graduated from the police academy.
Lucas looked at that message, trying to find out if there was anything else, he spent several minutes just looking, but he got nowhere.
So Pedro and Lucas gathered a team and went to the address given by DE .....
An hour's drive, at high speed, along the highway that took them to a small town, when they arrived at their destination the cars stopped in front of a house in the middle of nowhere, far from everything and everyone.
Pedro commands the team of 4 men, armed and prepared for any fight, but when he entered the house, which had the door open, he came across a scene he was already waiting for, another murder.
He looked at Lucas and said, call the team of experts. Lucas entered the house and frowned when he saw the body, soaked in blood, on the bed.
_ she looks like she is sleeping. said Lucas.
_ And more she is dead. Killed by a maniac, who still did the favor to warn. Pedro speaks, with a serious look.
One of your partners finds something.
_ detective Santiago, I found her wallet.
_ great Correia.
_ Vanessa dos Santos. Correia said, reading the girl's document.
_Correia contact her parents or a relative.
_ of course yes detective Pedro
Detective Pedro Santiago, was one of the best detectives in São Paulo, had already solved several important cases, was awarded, and was promoted very quickly to head detective in the homicide department.
He and his partners were childhood friends, but recently they worked together. Lucas Vincent. he went to work outside after finishing the police academy, and he was only 8 months old when he returned, with good references, in his work history as an intern in police departments in Los Angeles, even though, in most of his work there, whether it was inside a room, with papers, a pen and a computer, he had helped solve some cases.
_Detetive Santiago the coroners arrived together with the experts.
_ Tell them I came talk to me.
_ Ok detective.
Correia arrives 2 minutes later, with 3 people, the two coroners, and the forensic expert,
Pedro tells the details.
I want the hour of death, like, I want everything as quickly as possible. Said Pedro looking at the coroners.
_ Good morning Detective Santiago, and a pleasure to meet you, I'm Marcos and this is my assistant Júlio.
_ Good morning to you, Pedro replies politely seriously.
_ Detective Pedro, how long ago. Said a voice that was close to Pedro.
The woman who was together with the other 2 men, spoke looking at Pedro.
_ And the miss who is it?
_ Seriously, detective is not knowing me? It's me Pamela Marcole, high school, high school, she forgot about me.
_ Of course, you were girlfriend of
Lucas right.
_ Wow, just remember me as his girlfriend.
_ So, are you here for?
_ I am the homicide expert.
_ A, and you. So here's the thing, I want anything that our friend has left, a clue, hair, condoms, fabric under the nails, what you discover I want immediately.
_ Of course sir detective.
_ I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood for hearty reunions.
Lucas looked and saw a beautiful woman
Leaving Pedro with an upset expression.
_ Who is she ? Said Lucas.
_ Your ex. Peter answers.
_ Who ?
_ Pamela your ex, don't you remember her?
_ Of course, she was beautiful.
_ Lucas, let's focus on our work. Said Pedro.
_ ok, more later will tell me if she asked about me.
The work went on until the end of the afternoon, the body was sent to the morgue, where they would do more exams, and the crime scene, it was wrapped with zebra tape and inside, Pamela was doing her job, committed to discover something.
But everything had been done with a lot of professionalism, there was nothing. There were no condoms, no hairs, no fingerprints, even though she seemed calm, and was still after something.
Even when he gave a discreet smile.
_i got something. Said Pamela.
A lipstick that was under a false floor, wrapped in a paper that said.
First clue.
