The Deep State

 

"Insp Shokie, why were you removed from the case?"

"Told them he isn't guilty."

"With all the evidence?"

"They didn't get one part #right in the photo that spoils his alibi. The shop-owner's dog. #Forgot it was dead a week by then."

"They?"

"The Deep State."

lead

 

"#Lead end, dead end..." Insp. Shokie kept muttering to Pink Panther's tune. "Your neighbour says the shots came from here."


"Is he saying I shot her, placed her body in his bedroom?"


"How did you know the body is in his bedroom?"


"I can see her from my study, with him."

flies on files

 

"Villagers hear kids cry. On these rocks."

"They would."


Insp. Shokie remembered her first case: the village that offered their kids to the rich; arriving too late; 14 kids, their throats slit, turned these rocks red that night. #Flies touched those files, not justice.

snatch & crack

 

“What a tough case to #crack! A dozen involved in Aneesh’s death, with his blood on them."

"With one killer on the loose," Insp. Shokie said. “Aneesh.”

“What?”

"Contact other states. Look at cases with a man #snatch-ed or presumed dead, and many in custody.”

the sublime

 

A man was caught with a human carcass in the boot of his car. 


"It's a custom in my #community, to dump bodies on these hills," the man said. "Mine are near pine trees with love-signs."


"Natural," Insp. Shokie muttered, "the sublime brings out the worst in people."
