I stood in my office, just staring at the file. I looked at the Case Closed sign. I smiled. I couldn't help it.

I had been thinking about retiring, but after that case, I knew I just couldn't do it. This had been such an emotional case.

It was my boss, Randal.

"We got another one."

"Another what?" I asked, wishing I hadn't.

"Another high school case. Chace Wilt has been killed. Shot to the head with a-"

"Fill me in on it later, okay?" I chuckled, "When I get there?"

Randal sighed, "Alright. Hurry up, I'm freezing out here."
