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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxgrJHEKmm
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnLJ3icrAs
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgapf3c2jj
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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3cEmhvns
"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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JnO6mDodP
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZWBwOwZo
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQ7JvngV9
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufHpVZzaIe
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLH3DfHXdK
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGEhAVfra
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHMEq0XxUD
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eRX0gdaYc
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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOirgWX06F
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?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fusToXrXZ
"It's a cold case."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KsTTJJ4Mz
"Very funny!"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUfIZM3kb
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQp33Awzj
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoGhMtdC6W
"Plumbers charge too much."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxoHursgeE
"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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIqcVHnuLT
"Suspects?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxB9xXYeP
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxliVO86ZG
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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUZntn5KuX
"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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoKn3EXlwJ
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfs6QBmjse
"Hey, want to see a body?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwjdH8PWSv
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGrOquaKf
"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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsnugxy3iD
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"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPCBxtTniA
"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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXLShVnzKm
Nakuul winced.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr6lnnGB8e
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXPn2tr5Ks
"So, He Okay?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkFwgxfPy5
"Nope, He's dead."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLS7bJsov5
Nakul looked at him expectantly
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Qsnr5U9y
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNBZzLeIeu
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCj31307TE
"What is that?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFLzj6LaML
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdqwfk4rn
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBXGoY3VeE
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnQ9vWI6Fg
The phone beeps again.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69rXGGu5Wf
"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"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduYOULlD5N
" This is Inspector Yadav."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVimUPUXQCW
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKI5tQFw0n
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvx3KzFu8F
Nakuul just smiled at him.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmNcqcduZk
"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?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBAwIiJQd
"He want us to take it."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFeHvDxmdi
"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."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RIiisSTi9
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzqnlngzyi
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoArN8cuix8
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4NNepkL33
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FIeNkEzWV
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32xQ5wJDxG
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5jEttBLux
"So we are back in business."
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChqlEnSai
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ickg7zLUQ
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRxP4OOf6T
"EVERY DAY my friend."
