It has been a year since Erica ventured this far away from home, the last time she was in this part of lore valley was when her childhood friends Tammy and Tristan were still in lore valley.
Tammy especially loved a princess themed cafe in this area, she would always drag Erica and Tristan all the way here to accompany her.
Erica is now in this very same cafe, resting her hands on the flashy pink table staring intently at her phone while slurping a strawberry milkshake.
She was reading a vampire themed romance novel and she was taken away by it, she was about get a refill when her phone rang as an alarm went off, she set an alarm knowing that she has the tendency to lose track of time while reading.
She paid the bill and stepped to call a cab, then her eyes caught the sight of a person falling from the roof of the seven storey building across the street. she sucked in cold, her eyes widen has she realized that she just witnessed someone committing suicide, she looked up at the roof of the building and she saw another figure of a person leave the roof.
No it wasn't suicide,it is a cold blooded murder.
Erica was shocked in place, unmoving like a statue.
People soon surrounded the deceased, pictures were taken and the police soon arrived and controlled the crowd.
A middle-aged police officer went around to question the crowd and he soon reached Erica.
Hello young lady, sorry to disturb you, I was made to know that you may have witnessed the deceased fall, if you know anything that could help with the investigation please do tell.
Erica explained all she saw including the fleeting figure of the other person on the roof.
Are you sure the middle-aged police officer asked.
Yes, very sure Erica answered him with certainty.
Ok, thanks for your cooperation he said and went to report his findings.
....
Officer Michelle and the squad stared intently at the multiple screens that displayed the CCTV footage given by the security of the apartment building that a man fell off it's roof earlier today.
Watching it over and over again they couldn't find anything that could help in solving the case or advancing in the case.
Are you sure of what you said officer Michelle, we have watched this footage over and over, the deceased went to the roof alone and no one is shown to have gone to the roof before the deceased, there were no fingerprints other than those of the deceased said sergeant Davies.
The witness I questioned was certain she saw someone else on the roof replied Michelle.
..Well.... sergeant Davies was about to reply officer Michelle when his phone rang.
He excused himself leaving the squad,We have to leave right that was an emergency call from the red light district, Sergeant Davies informed the rest of the squad.
