Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: The Unsolved Case

After a few days of their sweet vacation came a call, Eliot was making breakfast for the two of them when the sudden call shifted their happy moment to a serious one.

It was the Governor Vivian's call and it was for an urgent case. "I know you that you were having a vacation but this case is important, also no one is as well trained as you two, so we are summoning you to take over this unsolved case". Eliot was now sure about is but still he asked to know more about the 'Unsolved Case'.

Governor Vivian reply was a bit unsettling for the two so early in the morning," The case was bought up by Lilac during interrogation, she claims that the case was falsely solved and the case goes really deep in, the victims of this case are Juliet, Emily and James. They died in suspicious ways, Emily was drowned in the river Hade, Juliet and James died in a truck accident but they were present at the site hence tying them to this case. For more information, come my office at sharp five in the evening."

The names were all familiar. James and Juliet were Milo's parent who had passed away when Milo was very young. It was a Murder but they left it as a normal death. And Emily was very close to home but Eliot and Sean were unable to figure out where they heard that name.

The other line stayed silent for a while. And then Eliot spoke up, "We agree on taking on the case. And we will start investigating this evening." Vivian was sure they would, but when they are on vacation, she did not expect them to agree but they did and she can rest assure the case will be solved. Then came the evening and Eliot and Sean set out to investigate.

Suddenly they got a call from Oliver and Milo. Oliver and Milo were engaged and they received a few things from Milo's Deceased Mother's sister. It was a Journal and a Camera, Juliet's sister said that Juliet wanted to give it to them but sadly she passed away. And it had crucial information about the case as well.

Eliot asked them to wait and asked Sean to drive. The drive was long, really long. Milo's house was not very far but it was a bit complicated to get to. When they reached, it was already six p.m. but the only thing that mattered was the case. They entered the house and Milo was not home but Oliver was there.

 She welcomed them," Oh! Please come in." They went in and sat on the sofa and Oliver came out with a camera and a journal," These were given to us by Milo's maternal aunt. She said it was for the Police but she had passed and did not get to give it."

Eliot and Sean waited and heard the whole story then Eliot spoke up," She died before her husband, James. But the Records all said she died with James in a truck accident. Well, thank you Oliver for these, we appreciate your help." After that Sean and Eliot decided to go to the office and check them out. The journal and the Camera looked old, really old.

At the office," Sean come here for a second, the recordings in the camera can you enhance it for me please." Eliot was trying to examine the footage. Sean came in with the journal," These belongs to Juliet, Milo's mother and she was a journalist as well. And the Journal has Records of a crime witnessed by Juliet. They asked me to read it. Oh! Right enhancing the footage."

 Sean went toward Eliot with the journal and set it on the table a quickly enhanced the footage with the help of some people working with them on the case. But they were not prepared for the crime the most emotionally heartbreaking case they had ever taken and the criminal will be someone closest to home ever.
