Unfinished Story

[I started this story but unable to complete it, may be because i'm naive to crime short stories. But anyway i wrote so much so far, so i'm publishing it, the readers can decide the end of this story as they wish. Please if you don't want to spend time with this unfinished story, don't read it]

The crime scene looks very familiar to Police Detective Jack, he is a veteran detective with LAPD. The crime scene provides endless clue for detectives, the nature of crime and investigation depends on the initial screening by detectives. Jack is among one of the few glorious detectives with in LAPD, he is now responding to a high profile murder case in the city. Jack enters in the upscale home, he directly went to 2nd floor bed room where the victim lying down on bed. The home is something extra ordinary, very organized. Jack thinks the people living in this home have spotless sense of interior design.

Jack carefully scans the bed room and asked the officer “Is there any robbery here, Officer?” the officer answered immediately “No Sir.”. Jack now concentrates on his focus on body, the victim is on her late 20s, lying on bed with a single bullet wound on her forehead. The way bed looks to Jack, the crime happened when victim was asleep, the killer may be used silencer to shot her on forehead without any resistance from victim. No robbery, nothing was even touched. Jack now looks at the same officer and he promptly replied “Sir, her husband is on his official trip to New York, he is on the way back to LA”. The officer knows whenever detective looks to them after checking robbery and other things, next question would be about his/her spouse.

Now Jack’s job is little tough, husband was not there in L.A when the crime took place, and no robbery was motive, then what would be motive? Jack sees a photo on bed room, the victim and her husband with happy smiles in there. Jack guess that they are happily married couple, living in million dollar home,thinks that he got a challenging case after some years. Jack asked the officer to call him once the coroner office finished their duties.

Jack left the home to his office, on the way his mind started thinking about the case. He now got all the details. The victim name is Amanda, she is 28 years old, an ex-interior designer, and after marriage she stopped working. Her husband name is Zack, he is with real estate business. He has several office buildings and he is one of the wealthiest men in LA. They got married 3 years ago, and as per police report, no previous criminal records, no domestic disturbance. Everything is clean and all seems to go well with this young couple then what went wrong with them?

Jack reached his office and sat on his desk. He started drawing a flow chart. Most of the detectives don’t want to get into this kind of complicated murder case, because it drains their energy and need too much focus. If it becomes a cold case, the department put a black mark on detective’s career. But Jack always want to take tough cases like this because for him it is challenging.
