As soon as Cole called the police, they swept the entire warehouse for hidden cocaine. Meanwhile, William's mother is confessing the entire story to two policemen as they threw questions at her.
Ben and Cole only told what they had discovered and filled in the details. After they were finisher, a policewoman with olive brown skin and black hair congratulated them.
"So, who do you think killed Mr. Randall?" she asked.
"We think someone who is smart, cunning, and doesn't want to get caught." Ben answered.
"Has the search dogs pick up anything?" Cole ask.
The policewoman nodded as she shows us a long strand of black hair in an evidence bag. Cole and Ben stared at it then ask who it belongs to.
"We suspect it belongs to a woman," she began.
Ben inspects the strand and tells her that it came from a wig.
The policewoman gave him a long questionable look.
Cole takes a closer look of the hair then nodded. "He's right," she agreed. "It is fake."
"A real strand of hair is usually wrinkled or curly. The strand of a wig is like ordinary hair, but the texture is a different story."
Amazed, the cop grinned at Cole's explanation.
"We may be looking for a killer in a black wig." Ben continued.
"But we don't know the killer's race, name, or motive."
Cole turn over her shoulder and caught something glittery in her eye. In the police detective's gloved hands, is a million dollar bracelet.
It is a Pandora bracelet with silver white beads and expensive golden charms of a baby bottle, teddy bear, a bike, and a football.
That's strange, Cole thought. Where could she have seen that bracelet?
Last week, Cole and her mother were shopping for clothes when she sees a beautiful, young woman in a short black wig walking over to Pandora.
She had porcelain skin, black heels, and a stunning dark purple dress. Although she couldn't make out her face, Cole remembers her walking out of the store, wearing the same bracelet.
Swallowing a gulp, Cole walks up to the detective and asks where he had gotten it. Instead, he gives her a long look.
Other than wearing a suit and tie, the detective had platinum blond, blue eyes, and a scar on his cheek.
The detective had a handsome jawline and physical features.
"What?" he asked.
"Where did you get that bracelet?" Cole repeated.
He looks behind her shoulders then stares at Cole.
"Are you suppose to be in the crime scene-"
"Can you tell me where you got or not?" Cole asked impatiently.
The detective let out an annoyed sigh, but answered her question.
"We found it along with the box of drugs." he answered.
Cole then yanks her phone out of her pocket and snapped photos of the bracelet. Meanwhile, the detective nearly broke his jaw as she sends them to Seth.
After he places the jewelry inside the evidence bag, the detective gets rid of his gloves and demands Cole to hand her phone over to him.
"Sir, you need to trust me on this." she replied.
