"Aurelius! Please come and watch a movie with meeeee!" Cosmia shouted up the stairs.

Aurelius chewed on the eraser of his pencil more. A few papers were scattered over the desk below him. He furiously scanned them again and groaned. Cosmia came into the room with worried eyes.

"I still can't find anything!" he grunted.

"Aurelius, maybe take a break and watch a movie with me?" she whispered.

He turned to her with loving eyes. "Anything for you my dear."

He got up and stretched before going to her and kissing her forehead. She giddely walked him downstairs and to the couch. They sat down and she turned on their favorite.

After a while, Aurelius leaned down and kissed Cosmia. She happily looked up and returned it passionately. They kept kissing until someone cleared his throat.

"Am I interrupting something...?" he asked nervously.

Aurelius backed away and coughed. He got off the couch.

"Come on, the movie!" Cosmia whimpered. "It's not over yet!"

"I'm really sorry dear. I really must see what's going on..." he grabbed his hat and swung on a trench coat.

He pulled the guy out with him and began walking. "Why did you have to so rudely interrupt our se- I mean movie?" he growled at him.

"The police sent me to you to investigate the scene of a suicide." the guy said nervously.

"Of course. Well, come on, quickly now." Aurelius jogged over the sidewalks until yellow tape and police lights came into view.

"Good, you're here Aurelius." Officer Yulio grunted. His thick mustache twitched. "You told him about why he's here correct?" he asked the guy.

He nodded vigorously.

"Very good." he coughed. "Come." He guided Aurelius to the scene.

Immediately, Aurelius saw the victim. Her blood was everywhere. He kneeled beside her head.

"Do you know how she did this?" Aurelius asked.

"There's no evidence here except for the blood." Officer Yulio replied.

"I see." Aurelius rubbed blood off his fingers and stood up. "Have you gotten a sample?"

"Yes sir." he nodded.

"And you've examined the mud over here?" he pointed.

Officer Yulio twitched his mustache again. "I don't believe we have, actually."

"You." Aurelius motioned at another officer. "Bring us a light over here. Preferably a big one."

The officer wheeled over a light. "This is the only one we got."

"Good enough." Aurelius lined it up infront of the mud and switched it on.

The bright light illuminated the mud. Large letters appeared. Reading, 'This was a murder. 4103 Judge Avenue. Search if you dare.'

"That doesn't give very many clues, but we might as well search that place." Officer Yulio grunted.

"Thats-thats my...my house." Aurelius looked at him.

Silence filled the next few seconds.

"Well, that just makes things awkward." Yulio sniffed. "Yep, definitely awkward."

Aurelius looked back toward the mud. He spotted footprints branching out from the letters. "Guess we have something to follow. Come on, boys."
