" Madam Ace? there is a Letter mailed to you." my butler laid the letter on my desk and left. The soft glow of late afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm patterns on the desk. I reached for the letter opener resting nearby—a slender blade with a smooth, polished handle that caught the light as I picked it up.
I took the letter grasping the envelope in one hand, I slid the tip of the opener beneath the flap. A soft whisper of paper tearing filled the quiet room as I guided the blade along the edge, the sound both satisfying and oddly soothing, yet I feel a heavy ambiance that the letter might be containing.
As I opened the letter to read it I took a sip of coffee, a pounding feeling from my chest won't stop something was definitely happening.;
Dear Detective Ace,
I hope this letter finds you well, though I must admit, my words come with an urgency I never expected to convey. The peace of our little town Burnham has been shattered—two sudden and brutal murders has happened in just 4 days that passed.
As you know, it falls to me to investigate these horrors, and I fear there is more to this than what meets the eye. The whispers among the townsfolk are growing louder, and the air feels heavy with unease. I could use your insight and steady presence here more than ever like before you left this small town.
Please, return home as soon as you can. I cannot face this shadow alone.
Yours in haste and friendship,
Inspector Mariones
I Hastily grabbed my coat, grabbed my suitcase and called out for Lorence, my butler.
"Lorence, ready me tickets to Burnham I will be going there in assisting a friend back in my hometown, I will be staying at my parents home please inform them beforehand as well, I will be gone for the momentary" I took a deep breathe and turned to William "Take care of the place now Will!" Lorence bowed down and hugged me "As always madam I will."
I clutched free from Lorence's embrace, the carriage has been waiting for me.
It's been a few good years since I last went down to Burnham, I wonder what awaits me there? and why such peaceful town has come to such chaos.
I will get to the bottom of this the devil has finally kissed the peaceful town of Burnham after terrorizing the world with chaos...
I will find an end to this.
wait for me home.
