He watched the face disappear behind the large black box making up the camera, and envied the thing for being held by the other man. A single finger grazed the trigger again and again, pushing the button in softly, to capture details of their latest crime scene. Every little disturbance of cleanliness of the carpeted floor, every hair and piece of dirt was inspected, to see if it was out of the ordinary and could be of any value for their case.

It was obvious that the kid hadn’t even stepped into his room the evening he was murdered as he’d just returned home from school and probably had spent half an hour in the kitchen eating the dinner his mother had prepared and left in the oven, moving into the living room afterwards, where he’d been stabbed.

“I was talking about the killer waiting here,” his partner laughed, but never looked up at him.

Grumbling at his own dumb remark, Nick decided to have a look at the master bedroom; maybe he would be able to concentrate on his work there.
