Five Bodies

The morning sunlight shone down diagonally at the wall of the alleyway, it cut the casted shadows cleanly in half that was shedding over Kieran and Teresa.

The chief officer was staring at Kieran.

Kieran replied with a smile.

The strong light and shadow created a contrasting scene, as though both of them were inside a painting. However, it was just what people saw them as from afar.

Hoskin who was standing beside both of them saw that both of them refused to give in and even smelled the dense fiery gunpowder.

Subconsciously, the young officer moved aside out of instinct, placing himself in range to clearly hear the conversation but wouldn't get caught in the conflict if anything broke out between Kieran and Teresa.

Just when Hoskin was moving, Kieran and Teresa spoke at the same time.

"I want to know every detail about the explosion case!"

"I want to know every lead you found about the explosion case!"

Both of them exchanged gaze.
