“Just look at this place.” D.S Fenworthy gawked at the magnificence of the ancient building in front of them.
“Don’t tell me you’re one of those” replied D.I Lucy, mildly amused at his reaction.
“One of who?” He asked pausing in his tracks.
“Never mind”. D.I Lucy shrugged. Marching into the building, knowing fully well she had touched a nerve with him. Fenworthy was too curious for his own good which was a great thing in his line of work, but a thorn in other aspects of his life.
“One of who boss?“, Fenworthy pressured on. Increasing the pace of his footsteps to catch up with her.
They arrived in front of a ginormous metal gate, with no means of opening. It brought them back to the grim reality of why they were there in the first place. D.I Lucy placed her badge in front of a camera which was embedded on one side of the wall and thought to herself, oh the evils that lurk behind closed doors.

Lucy obviously knows something that Fenworthy doesn’t know and it doesn’t sound like she is telling! I wonder what is beyond that door? Great story, Ameena!!

There’s an element of mystery. I strongly suspect that D.I Lucy knows something that the rest of us don’t and is keeping that information to herself!

Reads like a couple of cops on an investigation. Will be good to follow through with installments.
