In a large conference room at the police headquaters, some men were seated round a table engrossed in serious discussion. Tony sat beside his boss and stared at the file in front of him which contained information about the murdered girls. He listened to all what the were saying. All the men seated at the table were experienced and he gave them utmost respect. He never spoke out of place or order. His boss too had total confidence in him over the years since he got hired by the Lewis Agency. He had proved himself worthy of heading any investigation and the friendship between him and his boss was a very strong one that it was difficult to tell Deji was his boss except one listened to their conversation.

"Tony, aren't you going to say something?" Deji asked when he noticed the concentrated look and silence from Tony.

"Hmm... Yeah, there's really nothing much to say. Its clearly stated we have no leads on this case. All we can rely on are the results we get from forensics." He responded.

"Yeah right and that's why the police is handing over the case to your agency and him here, Inspector Mike will be working with you." The police chief said. "Deji has told me quite a lot about you and we're counting on you to pull this through." He added.

"Yeah, I'll try my best," Tony responded.

"Goodluck," the police chief and and all the men took turns shaking hands with one another.

In the car, on their way from the police haedquarters, Tony was at the wheels and an awkward silence ensued between him and his boss.

"Erm... Where do you really intend to begin your investigation?" Deji cleared his throat and asked.

"Honestly I'm still trying to figure it out," Tony replied.

"And I wonder why you're unusually quiet this evening," Deji observed.

"Nothing. This is a complicated case with no leads. I'm just trying to concentrate. And my dccck hurts. I spilled hot coffee on it this afternoon." Tony responded.

"Haha, how come?" His boss asked laughing.

"See forget jor," Tony said trying hard not to laugh himself.

"Just update my as you progress. I'll get down at the next junction," Deji said still chuckling.

"You're going home straight?" Tony asked.

"Yeah, sure where else?"

"You won't be seeing her tonight?" Tony asked.

"Who are you talking about?" Deji asked.

"You sure as hell know who."

"Yeah right but I'm not seeing her tonight. We had a misunderstanding two days ago." Deji finally said.

"Awww," Tony said in false sympathy. "Wanna talk about it?" He quickly added.

"Not exactly. Definitely not with you. Take care son." He said and got out of the car.
