Inside All Along

It had been days since Detective An had been let off the force. He was drowning in so much sorrow he really did not have the energy to get back to the senator's basement to finish this investigation. What else was he going to do with himself now? He had too much plenty of time and little things to do.

He told his wife he had managed to snag a leave at work, he did not really have the courage to tell her the truth for now. It was not like he was making real money while doing his job. They got by just fine. Now, he had saved enough money that could be good for a few months. But after that, then what?

After his visit at The Kingly, he went straight to the station where the captain had asked for his badge and gun. He dropped it to the table with two loud thuds. He did not even say anything else and just slammed the door behind him.
