Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

A STRANGE WAY TO GO

Kendra O’Connor, retired detective, sat in her favourite spot at her favourite café in London. She loved the café’s warm comfortable booths that allowed her to carefully watch everyone else without them being able to see her perfectly.

They were so many people here today and they were sat smiling, laughing and talking with each other as they sat at one of the rows upon rows of tables in the café. There was something rather wonderful about seeing so many happy people, Kendra supposed it reminded her that people could be happy and people were kind.

Since retiring a few months ago she had found it hard to remember that, after decades in the Metropolitan Police solving London’s weirdest, hardest and just outrageous cases, Kendra had spent her days struggling to learn how to trust, learn and respect other people again.

She wrapped her hands round her hot cup of black coffee and nursed it as if it was a precious glass of whiskey that she didn’t want to finish. She had never liked those first few months where she could easily drink a bottle a night to stop the bodies of victims coming into her dreams, but she was recovering.

Slowly but surely.

Before a phone call from another retired cop last night, Kendra had just wanted to do some tourist things today. She had lived in London for decades and not even done the basic tourist attractions like Buckingham Palace, the London Eye or even the British Museum.

As the smell of her strong black coffee hit her in the face, Kendra didn’t mind about the call phone especially when Retired Detective Jeff Long had emailed her some old case files for her to look over.

From what Kendra could remember about Jeff he was some big shot now working as a lead Detective on a cold case task force. Kendra didn’t understand how it all worked because Jeff was still retired but still working cases.

It made no sense to her but Kendra be lying if she said she wasn’t interested, so she wanted to meet him and look over this cold case with him.

As she took a sip of her amazing black coffee, Kendra’s mouth was filled with sharp bitter flavours and then subtle notes of lustrous chocolate and hazelnut. She loved the coffee here.

Apparently the cold case she had been sent was something about a woman who died twenty years ago outside the Houses of Parliament, and the strangest thing about the entire case was camera footage showed she had been dead for six hours.

But she hadn’t moved a muscle.

She simply died and stood there for six hours before the Prime Minister left, police did a security sweep and found her.

Kendra didn’t know too much about the victim. She seemed to be a wonderful young mother who was in London for the day doing a few pieces of shopping for her kids before she went home to her kids and husband.

This cold case actually annoyed Kendra for some reason. She never normally got annoyed but it was outrageous that someone had killed such a good mother for no reason. There was even a funny comment from a family member saying the victim looked like a politician. Kendra had spent most of last night reading about the woman and watching news reports of the family crying over her death.

It was flat out wrong that someone would kill her. Kendra had to find out who did it.

Two people, a
