Blue Terror

In a small but busy part of California it was another long boring day at the private detectives office. “it’s been four months since someone hired me” said Mr Barret to himself as he threw a dart at the dart board he was playing with, when the phone rang, Mr Barret immediately took his feet of the desk sat upright and picked up the receiver. “Hello, Private detectives office” said Mr Barret anxiously “good afternoon Jack, it’s Chief Inspector Waren, we have a case for you if you’re interested”, recognising the police chiefs voice and a bit shocked Mr Barret replied “What happened to Detective Mould, why didn’t he get the case”, taking a deep breath the police chief replied “he’s dead !, he was found dead this morning at his house, that’s why I want you to investigate” Mr Barret replied slowly “I’ll take the case”, the police chief than said meet me at Detective Mould’s house immediately”, in a hurry Mr Barret replied “I’ll be right there”.
