Evidence

By Paul Detzer
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 8

Evidence… all I need is evidence…

The senior detective looked throughout the victim’s home. He didn’t really care about this case or another case for that matter.
In the beginning of each case he vowed that he would retire. But by the end all he thought was, “One more couldn’t hurt”. He was addicted… addicted to murder. He just loved being able to find a killer by hanging around the crime scene for an hour. He loved describing what happened to the judge and seeing the expression on the defendant’s face as he knew he was doomed.
But with this case it was different. His skill just wouldn’t kick in. It was time to throw in the towel.
