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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQOkjqUS2s
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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY8NzGpILs
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEb6p5D39W
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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCRKzdzMdh
"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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J9pnOKaZ4
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEUJBY2brI
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlzy3WzFXb
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPdc894fnH
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpOtB8NJGm
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5DkLXKXxz
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0K9Aj8DiM
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtuypKSwv2
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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDiSE0i9ls
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?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd6iMG2oi6
"It's a cold case."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgml0Oi6ea
"Very funny!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lO3zKmM3H
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna3mHJaOwI
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3g0eFk4tw
"Plumbers charge too much."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s8M5AFdpr
"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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm597rcOLY
"Suspects?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsJF9ZdedA
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOy4VCVHsL
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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDAw7hYliF
"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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDshTrBlps
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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qJmgd6VA
"Hey, want to see a body?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nWue3HzVg
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcIRVym8Fm
"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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqCiRKWQ94
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"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYPKQXWw9h
"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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UWELJBcV0
Nakuul winced.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SaUHJtrNE
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1z9icQlyY
"So, He Okay?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCktkufyoC6
"Nope, He's dead."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOq9cCUbjC
Nakul looked at him expectantly
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1arqTDpFzR
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8a89L0ED
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUOo8R9ce
"What is that?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCoBmxfEE
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GoizXrPyW
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUlBdaEfmg
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUWwGJEod
The phone beeps again.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7H9vhNVxQ
"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"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz0db8wbDs
" This is Inspector Yadav."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP4u1AOVcA
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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGBBOv7WPn
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jdTPxH3P6
Nakuul just smiled at him.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5IIxHlTCW
"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?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK4sBM9aJn
"He want us to take it."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uuLz6HYH4
"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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5yIfo5yYW
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCazhoMTrss
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJcm240vEV
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5poQzedUqB
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4j37Ar0wL
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0TkIsCRYP
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvhBTpZRz0
"So we are back in business."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlDhHUZlzy
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWCAm5GxSY
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6va8OeUwu
"EVERY DAY my friend."
