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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT63BvibPe
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNrW0c3Xgz
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDnL7Q0B0
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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiSVbCErnP
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHO2ozdQGu
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzn5m5FdLb
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG29D6DmaD9
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWis8E7jel
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4n2ucDxYR
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid1Lh93wJA
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBmYWSTQ86
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM2qsMI0GS
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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHuwxR4xYf
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?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlDYRV6Ncw
"It's a cold case."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqdlqeYGam
"Very funny!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFvrGgqj9I
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bFaXeAD6S
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysBMtOxwrw
"Plumbers charge too much."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeHgwS25Qf
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKv2Nidljg
"Suspects?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXigq1S2M3
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3A9iq5h2r
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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTmLOHxHEG
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6ZbabJr8
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw1PvWSPFE
"Hey, want to see a body?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQwc9JURaI
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJPtbLgHhn
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzaChRWVsj
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"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjghV2YyDe
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Bxt99nM7
Nakuul winced.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtqAu12t3e
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3WRqhGmAX
"So, He Okay?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXcMafca95
"Nope, He's dead."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1emBQ1qBD
Nakul looked at him expectantly
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4OZxDNH9j
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8w1fYjtmo
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf52qZDSEa
"What is that?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpYkg6tJs1
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebvLhABsx
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TX3lnGesn
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYdlasJZQN
The phone beeps again.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrB1Bv0jTU
"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"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelorhEc8EF
" This is Inspector Yadav."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHPjYfHkHx
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStEbLb1ve2
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgxrFF42le
Nakuul just smiled at him.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LbhP6GC5a
"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?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb9wUdzeuo
"He want us to take it."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZv3BmBdT6
"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."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOi8tqcPVr
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7IttCRFPV
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HjzVItb8
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ210jnMshkw
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fEVpeMYij
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxubGzTD5p
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBOgwLVcmU
"So we are back in business."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUcvtK1BIP
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlleN34B9Op
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtCNev2K0c
"EVERY DAY my friend."
