Lot's of police cars were rushing somewhere their loud sirens woke Dario up. He looked outside the window and was surprised because he saw a glimpse of Clara in one of the car. He quickly got down to his car and followed them to the scene. It was a murder scene at the High End Investment Company and the person who was murdered was the owner himself Brook Richards. He was one of the richest person in the city. Dario stands with the media behind the police borders and they all watched the body lying at the entrance of the building. Dario was trying to find Clara but he couldn't find her anywhere. The police chief arrived at the scene and started to ask questions from the reporting officer. "So fill me in." said the Chief. 'Sir victim was shot directly at the head no chance of survival he died at the moment. I think it was a sniper." "No it wasn't" Dario interrupted. The chief and the officer turned to Dario for a second and then continued to chat. "Hey there Sherlock" Dario heard a familiar voice and turned. And it was Clara. "I didn't knew that you were a detective." said Clara sarcastically. They both giggled. "I saw you in one of the police car so I followed it here." Dario said. "Actually that man there is my dad." replied Clara. "No way the Chief of police is your dad." Dario said with a surprising gesture. "Yeah my full name is Clara Watson". Clara replied. They both sat at the side bench and talked as police wrapped up the scene. "It seems they have finished their work.Want to meet my dad?" said Clara. "Yeah why not." replied Dario. They both walked towards the chief and Clara introduced him, "And this is my dad chief of police department Sir Robert Watson." "It's an honour to meet you Sir." Dario said. "How did you know that?" Chief directly asked the question. "How did you know that it wasn't a sniper shot that killed him?" He again asked suspiciously. "Oh that it was just an observation if he was shot by a sniper from the front building he should have fallen somewhere like backwards or sideways but the body was lying at the entrance and his bullet wound on the forehead was too tight for the sniper bullet so it's clear that someone killed him some other way and showed it like this." Dario explained his observation. So are you a criminal or some police man kid? Chief asked. "Neither of them but I studied criminology back at my home so I know alot more about crime than your local thieves here." Dario answered. "You surprise me kid in a good way. So Clara why don't you bring your boyfriend for a dinner." Chief said. "Dad he's not my boyfriend." Clara whispered. "Oh he will be I know just bring him at the dinner." Chief insisted. "Ok now we all are getting late for work". Clara said. Then chief and Clara left and Dario stood there for while looking at the building with a smile on his face. But he wasn't the only one there a man from across the street had an eye on Clara, Chief and DARIO.
It was 8pm and Dario was getting ready for the dinner. He was excited for the dinner. He reached at Clara's place at 8:30pm. The Watson family greeted him and he sat with chief in lounge as Clara and Mrs Watson prepared the dinner. Meanwhile in the lounge they both were watching today's crime news. While watching Dario asked, "do you think this is the work of Shadow?" Chief's face paused for a second and then he said, listen to me very careful kid Shadow is someone whose name and presence even scares the higher ups of the city. Shadow is not just a man he is the system, he is the government, he is the police, he is the crime, he is the justice, HE IS THE CITY HIMSELF." He knows we that we are sitting in my lounge maybe he also knows that my wife and daughter are cooking in the kitchen. So you have spoken about him with me but please try not to with anyone else. You are a good boy and also Clara's future boyfriend." They laughed as the conversation ends. "Ok gentlemen the dinner is ready." Mrs Watson invited them at the dinner table. They all set at the table and started to eat. "I bet dad was trying to lure you for internship program." Clara said. "Internship at a police station?" Dario asked. Umm.. it's not an internship we are just putting a team of youngsters who will helps us to solve little crimes because you know they knew the streets and social better than us." Chief explained. "And that's why you saw me in the car today with dad because my dad is putting me as the captain of the team." Clara said. The conversation goes on as they finished the dinner. Mrs Watson started to do dishes and and Clara went to her room to attend a phone call from her friend. Chief walked outside for a smoke, Dario followed him.
"So what made you think that it was HIM?" Chief asked. Dario replied, "I just had a guess because my uncle once told me about the investment company guy Brook Richards that his company funds the organisation that works against Shadow." "Oh that's how... yeah Clara told me that you are Jason Flyer's relative. You see Shadow is playing a game of chess. The city is his board with unlimited number of pieces on it and he is just sitting behind as King watching all of it. You are an intelligent boy with sense of crime why don't you join my team of youngsters, it will also make Clara happy and more willing. If you are willing then come to the station tomorrow at 9am. Chief finished the cigarette and they went inside Mrs Watson and Clara also got free . "Now I'll be leaving it was a great dinner and I see us having more in the future." Dario said as he left the place. This time again a guy in the dark alley watched him as he leaves the Watson residence.
