NOAH-
I was going through the files of the recent cases, which needed a conclusion. I, then heard a knock on the door.
"yes?"
"sir?" Officer Liam was at the door, with the file that I had been asking for.
"oh! Yes. Come in."
It was the file related to yesterday's incident that took place near block D. That block is known mainly for robberies, stalking and even murder. So I was informed that a girl jumped from her apartment, which I find suspicious. First thing, It's not known to be a very good place so I have to confirm some details. I would like to probably meet her family so that all of it is confirmed.
So I grab my car keys and took the file with me for her relatives information.

I was told to sit in the drawing room and wait for a while. So I did. I waited for almost 10-15 minutes and that was a pretty long time. So I got up for reminding them that they had a guest here. That's when a tall man, around 50, entered the drawing room. He greeted me and offered me to sit after shaking my hand. I then introduced myself and I felt as if his body stiffened a bit the moment I mentioned my post as a DCI of this area. Anyway, I told him I was sorry about his late niece. Well ,He listened to me very calmly as I told him that I would like him to tell me about his late niece. But he repeated what I had already heard from the officers and nothing new to that.
"Actually, what I mean is that, do you feel something suspicious about it?" My question made him feel nervous ,as he answered me with a nervous smile.
"No.. officer..w.what is there..susp-"
"Yes!" He was cut off in between, by a voice at the door.
"I do! I actually have a lot of questions in my mind and I am sure dad have them too but I don't know what is keeping him from asking them." I turned to the voice and to my surprise, she was the 'witness' girl. I was left speechless. Though the difference in her was so obvious. She had grown pale and had her hair tied in a rough bun. She looked so weak. So she had lost her cousin 'sister'.
She walked towards us. Her eyes were fixed at her dad. Though her dad wasn't looking at her but just staring at the floor silently. I felt bad for him.
"uhh...okay!" I simply nodded, actually quite confused. After an awkward silence she spoke again.
"I will definitely help you with your work...officer" she said with her full attention on me now. Somehow I felt as if she is saying it in the answer of my request that I had made few days back. I felt relieved.
"Well. then great. Meet me at the station. Tomorrow. Sharp at 9:00 a.m.!"
She nodded in return.

AZALEA-
I was roaming around the house, just thinking of how life could be so unfair sometimes. Ever single place in this house reminds me of Mia. We had so many memories, from the shrieks of childhood to the giggles of teenage and then to the busy schedules of collage life. This thought had never passed my conscience that I will live a life without Mia. She was an habit of my life. I had never thought of doing something without her. Ever!
As I was passing by the drawing room, I heard voices coming from inside. So I leaned to the door trying to hear something. But I couldn't really get what was going on so I peeked inside. There, dad was talking to a man sitting opposite to him. His back was facing me so I couldn't tell who he was. When the realization hit me, dad was actually telling him all about Mia. My headache started to come back, thinking of it again. I turned to leave but stopped at my track when the man asked him If there was something suspicious in it and it actually made me thinking that all of the situation was really a suspicious one.
Mia's change in attitude!
She didn't come to meet us one last time!
No suicide note!
The box!
The caption 'Yours beloved'!
"No.. officer.." Oh so he was an officer. That's great then.
".w.what is there..susp-" I cut him off in between as it really pissed me off. He for sure was suspicious about it but he just doesn't want anymore issues in the family, is what I think.
"yes!" I went forward.
"I do! I actually have a lot of questions in my mind and I am sure dad have them too but I don't know what is keeping him from asking them."
The officer turned towards me and it took me a minute to realize that he was no one other than the DCI...his name was..N.Noah Xander I guess, yeah!.. DCI Noah...
Last time I remember we were not in good terms though I was guilty for my behavior later on. He had actually asked me to help him but I had said No, which was the reason I am guilty. Then how would I ask for his help in Mia's matter! So I told him I will help him out.
