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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSPGUxjh7I
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYvHoLFaEZ
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTWSEG8W9S
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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn4MGSWYj3
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh09eUwMaL
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTqeRdHS1k
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwnrz3coMx
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGDBwWhDPR
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpUyKH36RC
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaaAZ1nPYA
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nrbofWdyx
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgziGgyk69h
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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOIDBTwQr
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?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYHVlv1yv
"It's a cold case."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE26j4hGcNX
"Very funny!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxMNaNYNHr
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06KcAi0BkO
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqoYjAbxUA
"Plumbers charge too much."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe2pTMnjh6
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpROTUhQ71
"Suspects?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswr3xebFWQ
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrAVbE9fRK
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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqmJSDw4Rl
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd7C6SYD4b
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981k5e9Bke
"Hey, want to see a body?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRIMb2eKi5
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ECNiq2fTY
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSgRmleINf
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"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEvacavake
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOnlOL2srY
Nakuul winced.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXsDcnIHzF
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZIJ47b3A
"So, He Okay?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZRSlCy5Y
"Nope, He's dead."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOW5sbFsNV
Nakul looked at him expectantly
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyg4TLnIU7
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97upbgcIWY
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt6BwOUbun
"What is that?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUAdBe3ixc
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc8XZ2BhWq
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus4PNSmno9
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GjCDwGrrp
The phone beeps again.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39oZWxDaQC
"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"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgryUbDW1jX
" This is Inspector Yadav."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgBy9CWoi1
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3GlwekUJ6
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaimGHVrymI
Nakuul just smiled at him.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1V6cyG4hk
"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?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPftDuUNLM
"He want us to take it."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBRZPomSjD
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP4Dl5TvNg
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFkB9RX9BM
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWYXv1a7CG
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwHb73eReF
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPnAVaOvoK
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5katMJY4sZ
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiwDVMWNvF
"So we are back in business."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0rT6YlSIl
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtBgzegTvb
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4nNVaD8B
"EVERY DAY my friend."
