End Game You move the photos around on the tackboard. All the pieces of the puzzle, they’re all there. Jenkins. The masked man. The squib. The gun. The body. The attacks, the pressure, the betrayal. Adams. With a flick of the wand, you re-arrange the board and draw new lines. How does it all fit together? How did they know where you would be? The past two weeks commanding this group has been one of the most exciting and stressful of your life. Your promotion was in the works, and now you have the manpower you need. Still, you know which way the wind is blowing. The department will support you as long as you get results, and now… now there’s nothing. You’re sure that given time, you could catch the culprit, but you’ve wasted 14 auror-weeks on this, and people are beginning to notice. It’s only a matter of time, now You slam you fist against the wall. “Am I interrupting something?” You turn around and unclench your fist. The tall, dark man standing in the doorway of your new office is dressed impeccably, as always. His badge shines like it was just polished, his boots are smooth and unscuffed, his cuffs and collar are immaculately pressed and shaped. Here’s a man who doesn’t spend his morning slogging through mud at the riverside looking for clues. “Captain Carter,” you say. “What brings you to my neck of the woods?” “Oh, just dropping in,” he says with a frown. “I never got to congratulate you on your promotion. You’re a good auror, and you deserve it.” You smile, and wait for the other shoe to drop. “Even more,” Carter continues, “it is such a shame for you to have your first case be something like this. I know how for career-oriented men like you or I, something like this could… well, it could be a black mark on a career, couldn’t it? You know how these things go, Chu. A case like this, it’s poison.” You know what he’s getting at, but you ask anyways. “What are you getting at, sir?” “I’m going to do you a favor, son,” says Carter. “I’m pulling your team off this case. It’s going into the pool. No leads in two weeks, we’ll get some fresh eyes on it, see if that doesn’t solve the problem, eh? You could…” You’ve stopped listening at this point. It’s what you knew, what you feared. It took some time for the politics to trickle down, for this to happen, but it was coming. You knew you were working on a time budget, and your time has run out. * * * Carter leaves with your case files. That’s it. The woman’s death will go uninvestigated. The case will be passed around but never picked up, and eventually filed away as a cold case. In time, this will fade from memory. By official channels, you have no way of continuing. The conspiracy, whoever they are, has won. They’ve tied your hands. Unbeknownst to everyone involved, though, at the bottom of the locked cabinet in your desk, there’s a manilla file folder, marked “DMLE Precinct 16 SCU Case # 1G2-92”. It is filled with all your evidence, your speculations, the addresses and info of witnesses and suspects, everything you investigated. * * * A new case rolls across your desk, and you think back to that case you worked on half a year ago, with the woman dead at the waterfront. You don’t think about that case as much as you used to, but it still nags you, still gets at you. You find yourself thinking, writing, taking notices, and inconspicuously continuing the investigation. You can’t do much, but you try. You’re too much of an Auror not to. You never were able to ID the body. Nobody remembers her, any more. Her death, her murder, the crime. Nobody cares. Nobody but you. Clarity_nl the DMLE Investigator has been lynched! SCUM VICTORY Damdred the False Lead is victorious from the grave! rsoultin the Political Pressure is victorious! ruXxar the Missing Evidence is victorious! WaveofShadow the Leaky Precinct is victorious! Obs QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/51/H/WHwjvBvuGQ6uE Scum QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/51/H/hV9v6JzzNM8 | ||
