Detective C: Zero's Rules

An Old Friend

Case 1: The Spy's Witness

It was a cold day in November, I was watching T.V. in my room with my twin sister, Rockel. I was working on a practice case to show my father. He told me that he used to be a detective, and a dam good one at that, but that was 15 years ago. Now, I live with my annoying sister. My father said that he'd return from the mountains when I called him about a good case to peruse. Every single one I've given him over the past 15 years has been discarded as nothing more than trash. That's when the phone went off. *BZZZ* I heard my mother stand up and walk over to the phone from downstairs. She answered. "Hello?....Yes this is Mariah Clark.....My husband?...I'm sorry, but he's not available at the moment....ok....goodluck Madame President." She hung up. Thank god I thought fast enough to pick up the phone upstairs through the landline. I heard the whole conversation. Apparently the President wanted to speak with my father about a "case". I couldn't let this opportunity pass. I thought, maybe if I prove myself to my father, he will return to fighting justice with an iron fist! So I slapped my sister and said "Wake up Rockel! It's time to make the donuts." "Oh Boy! Donuts!!!" She said with a dumb smile on her face.

I wish I knew then, that I was in for one hell of a first case.
