The murder weapon. Officer Mendoza would be Detective Mendoza within the year. I could feel it.
In fact, feeling Officer Mendoza was high on my list. Oof—sometimes my brain really is that of a 13-year-old boy.
As we looked at the weapon, another police officer interrupted us.
“Detective, the neighbors said they saw a truck early this morning for SNOW FLOUR INC. Apparently, it stayed longer than usual, and the men who came out of it didn’t look like delivery men.”
Shit. When it rains, it pours.
I turned to Officer Mendoza, “Let’s go find these murderers.”
We got into my car and started speeding.
“Where are we going?” Mia looked at me, baffled.
I got on the radio, “Dispatch, I need the address of a Snow Flour Inc.”
A few red lights ignored, we soon got to a massive building in the warehouse district of Santa Monica.
The door was unlocked.
As we walked in, I was struck by two things. One, this warehouse was definitely murderer-lurking-in-the-dark level creepy. Second, Mia was my dream woman. An angel with a gun.
As we turned into another room, we heard a sound.
Someone else was here.
