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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeIC13HDSp
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdUSaIZxh4
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTmtr0sgfZ
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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeiFg9WdaQ
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRBosK9M4w
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkl2CmaJn0
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZJPkiuOc
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQHXdvkaSI
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡots0nL7518
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoRkcz1rCr
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqVkX3d3gT
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx4ra7BATW
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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cIImGFYwn
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?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h4YbpUzVk
"It's a cold case."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMud4emsLY4
"Very funny!"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rqoD3HO0m
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawaYtUVNrh
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwrmI4tV42
"Plumbers charge too much."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQRihiDD4
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgmPhsgTzx
"Suspects?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNf1umsi6X
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWhbbrAc7E
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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2wVLFGwS0
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CC5eTJw3u
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvoo7FtHt2
"Hey, want to see a body?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQqm2ehind
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnXdmt73nz
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyKTY17Dvw
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"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLajQdL0VEg
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVjjCQTfvO
Nakuul winced.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCbEKA8xww
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpp8mkc2gi
"So, He Okay?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsxT3fYW9O
"Nope, He's dead."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7kBeUjY8s
Nakul looked at him expectantly
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2N0NieayK
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD0tR1blBi
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTYEfmp9Bq
"What is that?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuMLHZSCqs
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFjU0ulpao
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIyXgFRCMS
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwO4eyZWOO
The phone beeps again.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwFzMqbKFR
"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"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mjXYLZBoQ
" This is Inspector Yadav."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yM28KvDX0
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfY6Qpu07V
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJe0tlNtIh
Nakuul just smiled at him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCyPdutba
"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?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwA04Yi9sm
"He want us to take it."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrC4lUBKFJ
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMBJEYSPmS
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslwK5FrRGz
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeesmLP99e
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHIwYxeday
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDwWewUbc
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHFJerM4To
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E0yUOPNpw
"So we are back in business."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdMSWFUwK
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxyNJVVHF
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJPxKkDzhx
"EVERY DAY my friend."
