CHAPTER FOUR

SEXY

It's a sunny day and it looks beautiful and sexy hahaha. You know why it's sexy? Well look at Stacy you will know why. She is not in her normal jean trouser and leather jacket. Well today someone's wearing a penciled plain black skirt that hung on her body so beautifully, showing off her curves in the right manner. A white shirt sleeve. Well stocked in her skirt. Showing off her flat tummy and beautiful breasts. Is she wearing bra or not? All in all she is looking beautiful. And yes also with a pair of black leather heels to go with. Abraham is wowed. Everyone at the office I guess. What changed? some wondered.

"Good morning" Stacy says to each of her co-workers as she makes her way to her office. Before she could open the door to her office, Amanda rushes to her

"The Captain requests of you. And by the way you look stunning. I don't know what changed but you look beautiful this morning" Abraham changed. Stacy thought. Stacy smiles at Amanda

"Thank you" Amanda smiles back with a nod "Let's go then" she goes with Amanda to the Captain's office. They knocked, goes in and closed the door behind them.

"Good morning Captain" Stacy greets in expectation. If the Captain requests her presence then something is up. Abraham comes into the office through the same door.

"Stacy how's the case going?"

"Well...."

"Ma'am nothing for now. We haven't found any lead" Abraham helps her out

"Then find something. It's Mr William James we are talking about. This shi' is real. You understan' me? Get some'hing. Anything" the Captain Mrs Clarke is an African-American woman.

"We will ma'am"

"You better. Stacy don't disappoint me. I gave you this case because I know you can handle it"

"I won't disappoint you" Stacy breaths out

"Good to hear. Now go prove it" she nods and they make their way to the door "one more thing Stacy" she turns back to her "you're looking beautiful this morning" Stacy flushes to that. It's not everyday you get a compliment from your Captain

"Thank you Captain" she smiles as she leaves the office.

"Might I add you look stunning and sexy" Abraham says with a grin and a hint of blush

"Thank you" she blushes at his compliment. She knows she's beautiful and all that. But it's coming from Abraham people. Abraham!

"Well I have something that might interest you" he opens the door to the small room. They entered and closed the door along with Amanda. He moves to the TV and turns it on. Stacy looks at the screen with a keen interest

"So we found something, maybe it will help" Amanda points at the screen "so I noticed that at the left side of his neck there's a mark that looks more like an injection mark. And it was injected forcefully looking at the angle" she zooms the photo of William James on the screen and the mark could be seen. It's a red-pink like mark that has a small opening like a pimple on the face but it wasn't a pimple.

"Did the search team find any syringe around or at the crime scene?"

"No. None that we know"

"What about his autopsy? Any news or result yet?"

"Yeah...about that...it is to get here today" Abraham said as though he forgot to tell her about it

"Tell them to send the result or something" Stacy said a little pissed or should I say worked up.

"Ok I will go do that now" he left the room to go make a call.

"Amanda ask the team to check well for any syringe or something of that sort"

"Ok. On it" she also left the room, leaving Stacy alone in the discussion room. She began pacing back and forth in deep thought. Why is this particular case so hard for her to solve. Solving murder case for her is like spreading butter on bread, adding sugar in a cup of coffee and like eating blueberry muffins. Well it seems this is a hard one for her. They are looking up to her to solve the most difficult case ever and the one of a Washington billionaire. She turns back to the photo on the screen.

"Who killed you James? How did they do it? Who hates you so much to take your life? I for one have someone I hate so much but I can't ever kill that person even if I wanted to" she spoke to the photo on the screen.

An hour later. The doctor who conducted the autopsy on Mr William James came by at the Police station. He is led by Amanda into the discussion room.

"Welcome Dr Jolson"

"Thank you"

"Please take a seat while I inform them of your arrival" he nods and sits while Amanda leaves to go fetch Stacy and Abraham.

"The doctor is here" she informs them as soon as she got to where they are. They followed her almost immediately. They entered the room and exchanged pleasantries with the doctor.

"So Dr Jolson what do you have for us?" They said in unison(Stacy and Abraham) they have been looking forward to this. Waiting to at least get some lead or anything at all to help them for the case in any way.

"According to the report, Mr William was injected with a Knock-Out drug before he was strangled"

"I knew she couldn't just kill him like that" Abraham busts out. He is a little glad that his theory wasn't wrong and Stacy chuckled a little at him, earning a smile from happy Abraham

"She made him weak so she could be able to kill him?"

"Exactly"

"We're there finger prints Dr?"

"None at all"

"That's smart on her side I must commend" she turns to Amanda "So Amanda anything from the team?"

"Well...not yet Stacy" Amanda says playing with her fingers for some reason

"Ok but tell them to get back to us soon"

"I will" she nods as she leaves the room to go about her assignment.

The doctor left the police station after he must have explained and showed Stacy and Abraham what they found out from the autopsy. There was no skin contact of any sort. No finger prints, nothing.

Stacy is really getting upset with herself. Why can't she place her hands on anything, why? It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous how there's nothing, nothing at all to give them lead or any form of hope of finding the killer of William James. But she is not giving up. She must get to the bottom of the whole thing.

"Abraham"

"Yeah?"

"You will have to go through his files and reports from day one. Maybe his teenage and youth days can give the info and lead we need. Abraham nods as he continues working with his laptop.

He raises his head and says to Stacy who is also busy on her laptop making research and looking for evidence or lead by going through Mr William James files.

"Am I the only one that thinks that Stephany James—" Stacy thinks that he would say she's pretty or something relating to that. Her face frowned and her heart was beating kind of fast. What is wrong with her me? She wonders. He is not my boyfriend or anything right? "Has something to do with the murder of her father?" She releases the breathe she didn't know she was holding.

"Well I think same too"

"Maybe we can bring her in for questioning?"

"Not yet. We can't do that without any proof at all. We need something to hold against her"

"That's right"
