8 months back......

March in Mumbai was always unpredictable, but once every decade or so it was downright sadistic, fluctuating wildly between tantalising promises of spring and the last angry death throes of stubborn Summer that had no intention of going.

Mumbai was out of force cherishing the temporary solution that the state was actually habitable to.

Inspector Nakuul Shetty far stretched out on chair on his front porch, newspaper in one hand, a mug of coffee in the other. He hadn't forgotten about last week's drama in his office about a petty robbery case, sipping his coffee he watched, as the neighbourhood engaged in all manner of personal torture, huffing and puffing and sweating furiously against the hot climate.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmKhc3AFGs
He was on a second cup of coffee and almost to the sports section when a Volvo station wagon pulled into the driveway. Viraj Yadav hopped out with his enormous cooler and a bag of chips ,his belly fitted the generous limits of Tommy Bahama shirt and a beefy legs poked out from a terrible pair of plain Bermuda shorts.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxssX3AQLa
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoCEFPbzWG
Nakuul lifted a dark brown" At 8 o'clock in the morning? Tell me this means Anjali finally kicked your sorry ass out so I can call her and propose."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIYGh1B6Pw
"You should be so lucky. This is charity. Anjali folks took her and the kids to some craft thing at the mall so I had a free Sunday thought I could liven up your so called life."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4c72We2Z2
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEIMzd9hUW
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LbxXQYC2k
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCuBajYO1o
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobjvVIGLTs
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQR5ktCsUs
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms3oxKUtgk
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hqq5toot
Viraj grinned. " That stuff will make you weep with joy I promise. Got it at great little cheese house in Bangalore somebody forgot about a wheel in the cellar and found it 12 years later covered in about of foot of mold. Nirvana my friend. Pure Nirvana. It's amazing what a cow and some bacteria can do."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw6Gp380Ts
Nakuul sniffed it and cringed." Oh yeah everytime I see a cow I think, Heyy, wouldn't it be great to get some bacteria and really do something with this thing, And why do you have a file folder in the cooler?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTygjzPhSh
"It's a cold case."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyUToaLbcH
"Very funny!"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMuULtPIz
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTIm5Le16
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCDbDG8JVu
"Plumbers charge too much."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BsQiwLWkC
"Tell me about it, but other than that this guy was damn near a candidate for Sainthood. He made alive out of warlife, migrated to India ,started business ,married ,had three kids Deacon of church, about to be minority leader of the political party and then bled to death on bathroom floor after someone used him for target practice."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF62ruqRD6
"Suspects?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZ9jVLvsu
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEuxCUON1R
Nakuul grunted and tossed the folder on the floor," Most guys with the free Sunday would probably find something else to do like sit on a beach or Lake or count bikinis or watch porn."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QKsWiLvcD
"Yeah, Well I am a crime fighter, I have a higher purpose."
Then ran a hand through his closely cropped hair reconsidering.
"Besides it's probably too early for porn."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmykdde7D7h
Before the call, Nakul had finally finished duct taping the legs back on his grill. Viraj had gone inside to unload the cooler and when he came back out to the porch he was beaming.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZMay3mBy
"Hey, want to see a body?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtB6ACua3e
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdEXpREmVL
"Nah silly, phone rang when I was in there so I picked up got an honest to God homicide call. It's a hotel. The maid found the famous singer Vivaan Singh on the stairs. Truly gruesome they are saying, beheaded."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB1R1EzrN5
Nakuul looked wistfully at the grill and sighed. "What happened to the on-duty guys who were supposed to be taking this? It's gonna be a field day for media"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodmFZpZw1u
"Aditya and Rohit, just what I wanted to know. They got at the train yard over in Thane, found some poor bastard tied to the tracks."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwTEyQQYVp
Nakuul winced.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uuhJ6vid1
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxccT5Fmze1
"So, He Okay?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6f3KgPslH
"Nope, He's dead."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rh9szzeD
Nakul looked at him expectantly
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xIE8MHiV9
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhvwF7EC2L
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3OIGbx6vT
"What is that?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzBBF2x8yd
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61jC9U6jzM
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2j2k1sxFe
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKG9vUJgky
The phone beeps again.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88GXwv2zVQ
"Fourteen year olds are funny only when they belong to someone else, Shit, I'm going to invent one of these things with big fat buttons and make a billions out of it"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW4DxABofx
" This is Inspector Yadav."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H0ee4mBpI
Nakuul stood and brushed off the rust of his hands, listened to Viraj grunt onto the phone for a few seconds then went inside to lock up. By the time he got back out to the porch Viraj had retrieved his gun from the car and was looking at the belt that almost held up his Bermuda shorts he looked like an armed and dangerous tourist.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPKqJlJgck
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc8Ttjhw9N
Nakuul just smiled at him.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoDig8yAzT
"Aww, Shut up! that was Rajan on the phone. He and Sam just got called for a suspected homicide. "Suspected" meaning someone did a little interior design with a few gallons of blood but there's no body and guess what?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWp9dbvwc1
"He want us to take it."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJIu4OzF6
"Nah, dispatch told him that we were on the hotel thing that's why he called. The bloody house is just a few blocks over."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2si6etzTE
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zJtM4JBdq
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2cqvBRCev
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeeaxyrxyT
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzoZEYzvUT
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNXkDjwbqY
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR9HhAnHQo
"So we are back in business."
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldtez3aqAF
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbr4DBoOBZ
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qdif0NuR1
"EVERY DAY my friend."
