Part 1
It was the break of dawn, the perfect time to take a run through the park, Zoya put her headphones on, she blasted her music to top and began running, she entered the park, her mind buzzing with thoughts about what other horrific cases she will have to face at work today...
She loved her job but the worst part was seeing what happened to people when they are murdered or get caught up in something that is beyond their reach...
She was going through the little flock of trees in the park when a guy bumped into her...
"Watch it!" She said as she was pushed back...
"Sorry, Sorry!" He gasped... he ran away... Zoya thought this was odd behaviour, she saw that the guy was wearing grey tracksuit and hoody, he looked quiet young... maybe in his mid 20's... Zoya put her headphone's back on and returned to her running, she carried on for about half an hour until she saw a group of people...
She made her way over to see what was going on...What she saw scared her...
It was a lady on the floor, there was blood on the floor, no sign of anything that could have been use to kill her,... her eyes wide open... fear was probably the last emotion she felt...
"Alright everyone... I need you to step away from the body..." She said taking of her headphone...
"She's a person not a body..." One of the men shouted...Zoya took a deep breath...
"Do you know her?" Zoya questioned
"No, I was just passing by..." The man answered... he looked like he was in his late forties...
"Then I need you to step back sir..." Zoya said in her work voice..."All of you" She said to the others, they were four other people there...
Arnav's house
Arnav made two cups of coffee and headed over to his room...Taani, came out of her room...
"Hmmm that smells amazing..." She said taking one cup... Arnav moved the cup away from her...
"Get your own..." He said, heading to his room...
"Not fair, Khushi staying over again?" Taani called, Arnav winked at her before shutting his room door,
Taani sighed...Get your own coffee Taani, no boyfriend to get you coffee in bed! She thought to herself...
Just then the phone rang...
"Taani here!" She replied... She listened to the caller...
"I'll be right there!" She said, she put the phone down..."We've got a case, get your lazy asses out of bed!!!" Taani yelled as she grabbed her jacket she left the house...
Khushi
"Oh great!!" Arnav sighed as he had just gotten back into bed!
"Aww..."Khushi said kissing Arnav, before getting out of bed...
"Can't we let the others handle the case... let's just sleep in" Arnav said huffing...
"Sorry... but we have to go... come on!!" Khushi said moving the blanket and pulling Arnav up!
"Fine... give me a minute..." Arnav moaned...
Khushi rolled her eyes with a smile and left the room...
Arjun
Arjun sipped his coffee as he got out of his car, he made his way over to the huge crowd across the park, the crowd was now filled with officers...
"Hey Arjun!" Taani called coming over to him...She was out of breath...She came over and took his cup of coffee..
"Ugh what is this?" She said as she sipped his coffee...Arjun laughed...
"Its black coffee..." Arjun said,
"That's disgusting!" Taani moaned...Arjun took the cup back..
"Well its mine that's why..." Arjun said sipping his coffee again...
"There's Zoya..." Taani said pointing to Zoya who was talking to the officer...
"Oh finally... Where are Arnav and Khushi?" Zoya questioned...
"In bed!" Taani said as she saw the body...
"Still?" Zoya asked...Taani made her way over to the body, putting gloves on...
"Time of death?" Taani questioned...
"About 6... But the body needs to be taken over to the morgue for further information..." Zoya said making her way over...
"I'll call Purvi up... she will get on to it.." Arjun said taking his phone up...
Taani looked at the body... she realised the body had several bruises...
"She fought back!" Taani stated...
"Yeh..." Zoya said also checking the body...
"What do we have?" Khushi asked, her and Arnav had just arrived...
"A Women, mid 30's looks like it, no ID, time of death could be about 6..." Zoya stated...
"Alright, Arjun you take the body up to the morgue, get Purvi on it straight away.." Khushi started...
"Already called..." Arjun stated pointing at his phone...
"Perfect, Zoya you take statements from any witnesses..." Khushi said...
Zoya shook her head...
"I'll go with Arjun," Taani said standing up...
"Alright... we will meet back in the Precinct in about an hour... bring everything you find..." Khushi said...
Arjun and Taani told the officers to get the body into the van...Then they got in and Arjun drove away...
"So how come you want to come with me to the morgue?" Arjun questioned..
"Why can't I come?" Taani said with a smile...
"Yess you can come... but you normally like to be where the action is not where the dead are..." Arjun said... he looked at Taani...
"Ok you're right... I'm not coming to the morgue... do me a favour and drop me there..." Taani said pointing at a gap just in front...Arjun was confused...
"Where are you going?" Arjun wondered
"I have to go somewhere, look it will take Purvi some time to find anything... I'll meet you at the morgue ok... then we will go back to the Precinct together... just don't tell Arnav anything alright!" Taani said with a smile she got out...
Arjun shrugged and sped off...
Taani watched Arjun go and then turned into the gap, she walked around the block to where the prison was...
Taani took a deep breath and made her way forward... She had to see Rey; she has been coming here since Rey was put into jail... Arnav had no clue she was still meeting Rey behind his back... and Arnav will never find out...
Taani told the warden who she wanted to see, a guard her took her into an empty to room, they would bring Rey there... Taani sat on the table, the only thing in the room, she waited for Rey to come, it was the same routine...
Just then the door opened and Rey was ushered in by the guard...The guard took Rey's handcuffs off...
Taani smiled on seeing Rey, she jumped of the table and made her way over to him, she hugged him tightly... He hugged her back...
The guard stood watch...
"Uh... can you leave us alone..." Taani asked... The guard shook his head...
"Fine... whatever..." Taani, she leaned in and kissed Rey, who returned the kiss...just as passionately...
The guard cleared his throat...
They broke apart... Rey rested his head against Taani, they were both smiling...
"Well I did tell him to leave..." Taani whispered... Rey laughed... He pulled her closer and hugged her... he started kissing her on her neck...
"Maam your time is up..."The guard said...Taani, and Rey stood together...
"Maam!!" The guard said a little louder...
"Alright I'm going..." Taani said breaking apart from Rey...
"I'll miss you!" she said with worry in her eyes...
"I'll miss you too..." He replied...
Taani moved away from Rey she looked at him as she left the room... Rey watched her go...
Taani fixed herself before heading back out of the prison...As she was out she signalled for a taxi...
