*Ding Dong*

#See through peephole#

#Sees no one#

'Who is this?'

Hey Kathy! It's me.😉

...#opens the door#...

Roger -Katherine!! Did you wake up🤭.

...Katherine: No Iam still sleeping 🙄. Roger why did you barge into my house so early in the morning #yawns#...

Roger: There's an emergency

Katherine: So you always remember me only when there is a emergency 😏

Roger- Haha!! Who shall not seek the advise of the famous criminal psychologist. it's indeed an emergency Kathy. We need to be at headquarters by 10.

Katherine -Ah!!! You always spoil my holidays Roger. what is the time now??

Roger - it's 9:30 dear

Katherine - Whattttttt???? And you expect me to reach by 10. You punk, wait....

*roger escapes from her attacks. Kathy thinks that she didn't even properly wake up*

Roger - Hey relax! You can finish this work during our travel to headquarters but now you should get ready. 😉

Katherine - Arrrrgh!!

Roger -* she surely must have engulfed loudspeakers in her childhood. I'm pitying myself how the way to headquarters will be 😐😑*

^^^Kathy took a flower vase in her hand^^^

ready to hit Roger. Expecting this he hid himself behind the wall. He sneakily came behind her when she was searching him and took the vase from her hand. 😉

^^^Kathy now is so angry, she is ready^^^

to pounce on him imagining herself as a starving beast to beat the pulp out of Roger and with a killing aura around her.

^^^Roger saw her standing silently^^^

and fuming 😤 all the carbondioxide out. He thought this is the silence before storm.So he thought to distract her so he pulled out a box of chocolates and candies from his bag.

^^^Katherine started drooling 🤤 over^^^

them could not decide whether to be angry or eat the candies. Finally she decided to put a straight face😑

Kathy- Oh! So you have come prepared. But this time I won't let you go easily..... humph....

Saying this Kathy went to her room to get ready. Roger felt relieved thinking that storm has changed it's direction and that his plan worked out😌.

Kathy came out of her room after getting ready and they started driving 🚗towards the headquarters. Both of them were quiet for sometime as both did not want to talk. Roger was so focused on driving and Kathy was busy admiring the people on the road and the beauty of nature.

Roger started thinking about the case which left them with dead end with no clues. He was brought out of his thoughts due to traffic signal. He observed kathy was busy looking at the roads.

Roger: Here! I bought this for you.

...saying this he gave kathy a burger to eat....

Kathy: A serious cop caring about others 🤨 hmm....

Roger - Come on Kathy, are you still mad at me. I expected that since you have less time you will not be in a position to make something for you. so I grabbed this on the way.

...----------------...

To be continued

Kathy - Who dares to get mad at you? Look at me iam glad that you bought food😏

^^^Roger understood the underlying meaning.^^^

Roger - Fine! I will inform you beforehand next time. I promise you that.

Kathy - You better be 🤨

^^^Kathy immediately started munching on^^^

the burger bought by Roger. She totally forgot her surroundings.

^^^Roger seeing this chuckled^^^

at her actions. He thought how could a lady who is sophisticated most of the times acting like a child when with food.

^^^# They reached the headquarters 20 minutes^^^

late than the assigned time#

^^^As soon as they reached the^^^

headquarters, Roger rushed himself into the computer room with Kathy following him.

Roger - Any clues Jacob ?

Jacob - No useful stuff sir.

...'Someone forgot me'😐...

Roger - O Henry!! When did you return from your mission ??

Henry - I just returned and came to meet you.

...Suddenly Henry noticed Katherine....

Henry - Hey Katherine 👋! Long time no see.

Kathy - Hello! Why? We worked together on your previous mission.

Roger - He dealt with 2 other missions after that. One personal 😉 and other is professional.

^^^Henry punches Roger on his solar plexus.^^^

Roger - Ouch!

Henry - You better shut your mouth.

Roger - He has to deal with his wife. She kicked him out.

^^^Everyone in the room starts laughing^^^

expect Henry.

?- What is so funny so early in the morning

^^^Everyone in the room turns their gazes^^^

towards the source of the voice.

Roger ,Henry, Jacob - Good morning Commissioner!!

...Everyone salutes him....

Commissioner William - Ah! what a surprise. Hello

Katherine. what is it that your doing here?

Katherine - Roger asked me help him in a case sir.

Commissioner William - Is it true Roger ? why are you obsessed with this case roger? you even asked for the help of our criminal investigator and advisor. Why can't you spend this time in some other useful cases, ha?

Roger - Sir! This case is not useless. The investigative journalist was found missing two days ago. We could not trace him till now and ...

Commissioner William - Aren't you taking this personal. Look Roger, I know he is your friend. That doesn't mean you can push all the other cases aside and become obsessed over this. Relax your self. You cannot solve this case until you put your personal feelings aside.

Roger - Iam not taking it personal sir. Iam just doing my duty to find the person who went missing after collecting an important evidence.

Commissioner William - Iam not telling you To stop this. But think sanely and peacefully. Any lead?

Jacob - No sir. It's a dead end.

Commissioner William - I see.....

Roger - But thanks for the concern sir. But now I guess we can solve it as we have our famous criminal investigator 😉

Commissioner William - Yeah! you are right. I hope Kathy can help to get him out of his obsession.

Katherine - I'll try my best sir.

commissioner William - I'll take my leave then.

everyone - yes sir

...Commissioner leaves...

Henry - what's going on man?

Kathy - can anyone tell me what's going on ?

Roger - Hmm.... take your seats everyone

^^^Everybody sits around the table and^^^

starts listening

Roger - *Takes a deep breath and starts telling*
