{It was a dark and stormy night everybody was inside their houses but our dear Jasmine Jackson aka JJ was out solving a mysterious case which was going to change her life forever……….}

JJ = Tell me again Aron…

Did you know Chloe Gates before the night she died?

Aron = I told you everything Ms. Jackson, I swear!

JJ = I feel like something is missing in your story.

Aron = All right, I’ll tell you one more time…

Like I told you before, the girl was running towards my cab…and as I said, she looked scared…

[7 hours earlier]

Chloe = Stop! Please!

I need to get to the Museum! Please!

Aron = I’m off duty ma’am and…

Chloe = Please, you gotta help me!

Aron = Okay, Okay.

Chloe = Thanks!

[Chloe called someone]

Chloe = Therasia, I got them! The ring and the files…

I found a clue in a painting called ‘Medusa’s Vanity’. I need you to… (Mobile battery at 1%)

We’re in danger, Therasia.

Meet me at the Museum! (Mobile battery dead)

[Car Stopped]

Aron = Here we are, ma’am. Are you sure you’re gonna be all right?

[Chloe stepped out of the cab and went towards the Museum gate suddenly she felt something on her neck and Chloe died….]

[Back to Present]

Aron = That’s all I can tell you…

JJ = Where is this ring you mentioned? We didn’t find it at the crime scene.

And who might be this Therasia?

Maybe I missed something. Let me try to remember…

When I arrived at the crime scene last night…

[Last Night]

Cop = You’re not supposed to be here, Ms. Jackson. We don’t need a private investigator.

JJ = Of course you do. Call Andrew, he knows why I’m here.

[Crime Scene, Day 1, 8:04P.M.]

Andrew = Thanks for coming JJ. I know working with cops is not your favorite thing to do…

JJ = Hi Andrew. Yeah well you know…

So… what can you tell me about the victim?

Andrew = The victim is Chloe Gates, she’s the…

JJ = Gates…? You mean the Senator’s daughter?

Andrew = Yes…I’m afraid so. She was 17 years old.

Cop = We believed she died of a heart attack.

JJ = I wouldn’t be too sure it was a heart attack. There’s more to this case than a simple heart attack.

Andrew (to cop) = Give her more space to work. She’s one of our top consultants.

Andrew (to JJ) = You have to hurry JJ, before the media circus arrives.

JJ = (Nodding her head in agreement).

{Examining the Body}

Andrew = She died around 7P.M.

JJ = It’s a strange place to visit at night…

Andrew = I was wondering why there are files here…

JJ = (And what do they contain?).

Andrew = A phone fell on the floor…

JJ = It may be the victim’s phone. She must have been surprised.

You have plenty to do some analysis.

Andrew = Yes use it as you wish, I’ll come back later.

[After Some Time]

Andrew = Did you find anything?

JJ = Look here. There’s a puncture wound, swollen around the edges, from a needle or a small dart, maybe.

Andrew = Hmm…That’s weird. I wonder why they didn’t spot that.

JJ = I think we can skip the heart attack theory, wouldn’t you say?

Andrew = It’s starting to look that way…

JJ = There’s a black ring around the wound. I would guess some sort of poison…

I’ll need to analyze her blood.

Andrew = We have everything you need here.

[Andrew Left]

[Crime Scene, Day 1, 9:21P.M.]

JJ = Andrew!!

[Andrew Arrived]

JJ = Who’s the owner of that taxi?

Andrew = It belongs to a cab driver who gave the victim a ride. He’s the one who called the police.

JJ = What’s his name?

Andrew = Aron Torres.

As far as we know, he’s the only witness.

JJ = I need to talk to him.

Andrew = You have to wait.

The medical team is taking care of him now. He’s still in shock.

JJ = I see.

Andrew = Are you going to be alright?

JJ = What do you mean?

Andrew = You know what I mean.

This girl and our daughter…they would have been the same age.

JJ = I’ve worked on cases like this before, Andrew.

Andrew = I know.

JJ = We’re not having this conversation again.

But thank you for checking on me, Andrew.

[Andrew Leaves]

JJ = (The victim’s blood containing poison and ink. It’s not a heart attack-she has been killed.

I found a small dart on the victim’s neck right here. It’s the murder weapon.

I don’t think it was a coincidence she got stuck precisely on that spot.

And the ink used on the dart makes me think the murderer wanted to cover something…on Chloe’s neck.

Perhaps I can find a selfie on her phone to see if she had a tattoo or mark on her neck.)

[Seeing the Phone]

JJ = (Damn! The phone is completely ruined.)

[Seeing the Files]

JJ = Did you check these?

Cop = For what? They’re completely soaked. All the ink is gone!

JJ = Hmm…I might be able to find something out of them.

Cop = Are you going to do a magic trick to make the ink reappear…?

[Andrew Arrived]

Andrew = Did you find anything else?

JJ = The murderer used a rare poison that paralyzes the muscles one by one.

Until it reaches the heart.

Andrew = The Murderer?

JJ = We’re clearly dealing with a murder case.

A professional, for sure. Knowledge of poison and very little evidence left behind the scene.

Andrew = We’ll interrogate the cab driver in the morning. I’ll call you when we are done.

Thanks again for you help. See you tomorrow.

[Everyone Left]

JJ = (I can’t wait till tomorrow…

I’d prefer to interrogate the witness myself.

I know better how to make people talk…

[Back to Present]

[Interrogation Room, Day 1, 10:21P.M.]

JJ = You don’t look like a killer, Aron.

Aron = I’m just a cab driver ma’am.

JJ = A cab driver who wasn’t supposed to
