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.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJDZRnAbuh
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.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyODrORDCl
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAo7VGnTd3
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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLsYNePoQK
"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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtNzS5MKfI
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlEn25GrRq
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFPMAWVH5I
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vxCWQbqU6
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSf0SZiGWL
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVU1s57vo6
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaQh43Xgox
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKKzEM0x8s
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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSivC8M5ok
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?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEGWTDBMS
"It's a cold case."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK1gXzoUKS
"Very funny!"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnEqpzR0DU
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdiSr2vaXf
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNZbrQzlk
"Plumbers charge too much."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSZ2w32awx
"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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kjUOA61Lh
"Suspects?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uW1bheHJO
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItyifCvECa
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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6BA90Pwl6
"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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57UDusurf6
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.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAa8UNFtr1
"Hey, want to see a body?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0GlEQZAEc
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95IEJ8Crd
"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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9HoyNigN
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"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0bIPX9Y9
"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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXPNXMTQn
Nakuul winced.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUO4SS3y9B
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxcJLwe78t
"So, He Okay?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmMtXSuvr
"Nope, He's dead."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqJRAfIMm
Nakul looked at him expectantly
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPvNgTC1Hd
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBmcGsVEJ
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCA1Uc0BIP
"What is that?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9knKPOUMW
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA0DTHXTk4
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj24IhGPfH9
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxde35g5glg
The phone beeps again.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHLnIhpvFu
"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"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIRVY7E8J3
" This is Inspector Yadav."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEGPid7fcI
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.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxWulKqlkz
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMUgdxZaQY
Nakuul just smiled at him.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgnDWgzIN6
"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?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLcArzdUQq
"He want us to take it."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ5FZ0UcIR
"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."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvC75ZwjBo
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DeljW216T
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqDfvtB1Zj
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmVJWZYxl3
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXyNPGuDoI
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS1hacDeP4
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUAQY55h9I
"So we are back in business."
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMax3FkUUN
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMI2X27W0
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpj68Vblz2
"EVERY DAY my friend."
