Chereads / The Secret Of The Nation / Chapter 10 - First Clue

Chapter 10 - First Clue

Morning, 9:00 a:m

"Gotta start somewhere." I say to myself as Emilia wakes up.

Emilia interrupts my self-talk by asking," What?"

I look in Emilia's direction and reply," Oh nothing, just figuring out where to start looking for the documents." This causes Emilia to reply in a rather confused state," Have you tried using common sense?"

I retort," Excuse me?" She continues," When Fernand was killed, where was he?"

I reply," Heart Of Paris, near the Musee du Louvre, why?"

Emilia says," So we start there, idiot!" I hold my head in foolishness.

40 minutes later

After changing into a fresh pair of clothes and driving for about 30 minutes straight, we finally reach the destination. I had asked Rachel on the drive for a more pinpoint location and luckily, she throwed us right at the crime scene.

The scene is covered with police warnings covering a 2-5 m block of road that has a car present in the middle of it.

I approach a nearby police officer on the scene and ask her," Good evening ma'am, my name is Jason Miller, I was just passing by on this street with my wife over there, I point my hand towards Emilia, on which Emilia waves at the police officer. I continue," We were just wondering if you could care to tell us what happened-- , One second, I forgot something, I will be right back."

I leave the police officer in a confused state as I head back towards Emilia and tell her," I will distract the police officer for some time while you search for some clues." Emilia nods.

I go to the police officer who asks me," Would you please tell what you want, sir?"

I reply," Yes, yes, I just wanted to know what happened here?"

She starts," Are you serious, a famous detective was killed here, but anyways so there was this guy Samuel Fernand who was found dead here shot dead in the middle of his forehead. Whoever killed him was definitely a trained professional in the form of execution. So after some time, when the police were checking the guy's body they found out that he is a famous detective from a country called Hai--"

Suddenly, I hear a faint buzz, I look back to see Emilia using a small taser to create that buzzing sound as a signal. I tell the officer," Thank you for the information, miss, really appreciated that." I say as I leave her company and head back towards Emilia.

Emilia speaks," Got the clues." She points her finger at the ground and I see it...

A grease trail that leads to the opposite direction of the car and goes further down the road.

Emilia also shows me a broken walkie-talkie and a nameslip attached to the bottom of it.

Julian! Its his walkie-talkie. I call Rachel...

Back at the base, Central Province, Haiti

Rachel picks up the call, "Oh, ok" " I can send a collector at your location in 10 minutes" " Rest will be handled here" " Ok bye!"

Rachel goes up to the ground floor and calls out a name," Michael, we need your help!"

Michael looks at Rachel from behind his desk and asks, " What?"

Rachel says," Are you ready to save our country?"

Michael's face lights up....
