It was the annual police force gathering-cum-dinner. Everyone who's part of the police force attends the dinner. The venue? Reetz carlton hotel, a six star hotel in the city. Posh and luxurious on the outside and inside, the hotel was one for the rich. Tucked in tuxedos and dresses, a crowd soon gathered at the ballroom booked for the event.
Azri and his team arrived as well, taking it as a chance to put their minds away from the case. "At least its not monday today," Azri sarcastically commented. However,it was a group of 5 today. Bryan had brought his brother, Xavier, along in an attempt for his shy brother to socialise . While the guys were in suits, Alice wore a dress with plunging neckline, attracting the attention of the guys around. She even managed to get the wink of a chief superintendant.
As the group settled down on a table and begin their 10-course dinner, Xavier quizzed Alice on her prosthetic arm. "It happened 3 years ago. A bloody lunatic hacked off my arm," Alice said, seemingly replaying the incident in her mind. "What about you?" Alice changed the subject before Xavier could ask more.
" Well, i live together with my brother and im still a student pursueing a degree. Heres our address, drop by sometime"
"Sure thing," Alice replied . The duo then took a polaroid, the trend these days. Just then, Norman dropped by the table. "Enjoying the dinner guys?" He asked, before firing a suspicious look at Xavier. "Whos that? I have never seen him around before."
"Someone with qualifications good enough to replace you," Angus jokingly said. The joke didnt go down too well with Norman, who fired another glare at Xavier.
As the dinner came to a close, Norman offered to drive the quintet home. On the journey back, Norman reminded the team on the case.
"Three more days to another monday, and we have no clue what we can do to stop this bloody killer. Like i've said, the chiefs want this case to be solved ASAP"
"Dont worry, im sure we will get a clue from the next murder. No murder is perfect,clues will definitely be left behind,"Azri said. "How many more lives are we gonna waste?" Alice asked,but there were no replies. They didnt had a choice. With more lives lost, the more clues they will have.
