Murder at mid night
Lecone Davis, an assistant co-worker of Mr. Billy Page in HFD Manchester (Help for Disabled). Lecone a young energetic bloke of 35 lived in Manchester. He had completed his Masters in Sociology from Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester. Lecone was one of the biggest assets of HFD. He was liked by everyone in HFD, since he was so help full and so kind to his subordinate. He always used to be there to help any one who was in need of his help. But he never asked anyone to help him, and he used to refuse when someone would ask to help him. Everybody loved him in HFD. A young girl named Denise Williams was attracted to Lecone, Lecone was not interested in her or in any relationship as it seemed. Denise frequently used to ask Lecone out, but he used to refuse, making out some reason for him not bring able to go out with her. But another worker in HFD Jim Gilmour who was secretary of Billy Page was attracted to Denise Williams, who also was a competitor for the post of assistant manger and partner of Billy Page. Unlike Lecone, Jim Gilmour was not liked by his colleagues he had gotten his job as he was son of a minister. Power and money, that’s how he had got the job, as of that he had some problem working with other colleagues as well as his boss.
Jim was never sincere to his job and he never used to obey any rules and regulations or do any job properly. Jim was aware that, Denise had crush on Lecone, since he had power he had the mentality that he should get what he wanted. Billy Page was impressed by Lecone’s working ability and the way he handled the works, there was good relationships between those two and it was almost sure that Lecone was to promoted but as of his father’s name he was thinking that he might be promoted because his father was one of the sponsor and helped Billy Page to solve different social problems that HFD had to face.
It was hot sunny day; Lecone was standing on the balcony of his office, just beside the office of Billy Page. He heard two people quarrelling beside his room. It was Billy Page and Jim. Jim had recently misbehaved with one of their client. She was granddaughter of Robert Campbell who was one of the founding members of HFD, and his son Frank Campbell was friend of Billy Page. After their death of Robert and Frank Campbell on a plane accident, Janis Campbell followed in her father’s footstep and was working for different charities that helped poor, children and especially mentally disabled through different organization such as HFD. She was there to provide Billy Page with the amount she had recently got for a charity concert, organised in order to raise money for the disabled at HFD. Jim had seen her on the stage on that day in the concert. He had criticized Janis of being rude to all those politicians, saying they do not care for the social problem that we are facing now. It had started the quarrel, as Jim was son of one of the acting minister of that particular area.
Few days after that quarrel when Lecone was working in his computer, Denise entered his room, she asked him if he could go out with her tonight, but Lecone was to busy with his work that he didn’t gave to much attention to her.
“I’d love to go out with you Denise but I’ve got some unfinished job back here in the office and I’ve got to meet an old friend of mine who has just arrived form USA. I really appreciate you asking me to go out with you; I guess we can do this sometime later?” Lecone said.
Denise said; of course Lecone and left his office.
(Denise was in her room by the side of balcony, when she saw Lecone entering a restaurant in front of the office.)
In the restaurant Lecone was waiting for his friend. It was a nice small restaurant in Manchester. Lecone was busy with his cell phone when he heard.
Lecone, is that you?
It was his old friend, for whom he was waiting. Then for an hour or two those two were there talking and then there was phone call on Lecone’s phone.
Excuse me, said Lecone and went to the corner.
His friend was there one the table enjoying espresso on his table. After few moments, Lecone was back and the seemed a bit change in the expression on the face of Lecone.
Sorry mate but I’ve got to go back to my office, my boss just called me he needs me. Since you are staying here for a week, I get along with you, but for now I’ve to leave.
It’s fine mate. Catch you later.
I’ll give you a call, as soon as I’m free.
Ok then I’ll be leaving as well.
The bill’s on me, Lecone said and he left.
Lecone was back in his office; as soon as he entered his office he got the message for his boss to come visit him as soon as possible. He left for Billy Page’s office. In the office there were some of the workers for different international NGOs and INGO. They were there for the observation purpose of work of HFD. Since Lecone was assistant worker of Billy Page. And he was about to be one of the partner of Billy Page, he was called. When he was having conversation with the chairman of UNICEF, Denise entered the room. Billy Page introduced Denise as the next assistant co worker of Lecone and that Denise was cousin of Billy Page.
That very day Denise asked Lecone out. But unlike before this time Lecone agreed to go on a date with Denise.
Lecone picked up Denise form her apartment in Kupondole. They were back at Roadhouse Café in Putalisadak.Denise had reserved a table and had asked that table to be decorated with beautiful roses and candles. It seemed that Lecone was impressed already. When Denise asked Lecone why he accepted to go out this time without any distraction, Lecone said jokingly that it was just because he just knew that she was cousin of Billy page and if he started dating Denise that would also help him get promoted. It was 7:30 when they remembered the time as they were lost in words. It was already late and Denise had to reach her apartment before 8. Lecone took Denise to her apartment.
10 pm. Heaththrow Airport
Dr. Rodney had just arrived at Heaththrow Airport, Manchester from Glasgow. He had left Glasgow without a single word about the work he had in Manchester, when his wife asked why he was going all he said was; I’ve got an important work, I’ll be back as soon as I’ll complete the work. He was out waiting for the taxi, it was 10:15 pm so he thought it would be better if he’ll go to his hotel first and then early in the morning to his work. He got a taxi and he was off.
Early in the morning there were numerous police vans outside the Britannia Hotel where Dr. Rodney had stayed. There was something wrong on room no.47. Dr. Rodney was found dead on his room. There were lots of detective in the room, where Dr. Rodney was lying on the bed. The in charge of the detective was Ted Edward. He was questioning the maid, who had called to notify that Dr. Rodney was lying unconscious in his room.
What did you saw when you were in the room.
He had called and, ordered breakfast and morning newspaper, when I came here the door was open, and in the bed as now he is he was lying there unconscious so I called the manager.
What was the time?
It was around 5:55 am when he called, and when I reached here it was around 6:10.
Can I talk to the manager? Ted asked. Wait I’ll call him. Ted asked the constable to take note and pictures of the scene and search for the evidences.
A little later Ted was talking to the manager. Then came the constable
Sir, we could not find any clue, either it was suicide or murder. There’s no sign of single evidence on the floor.
Yes, sir we searched the whole room and we could nit find any clue.
Could it have been murder? Mr. Manager? Can you tell me who have entered this hotel and left?
Sorry but we don’t keep record of such things, such kind of accident had never taken place here. This is the first time, so we don’t have such records.
Thanks, we’ll get through this soon and I’ll let you know about all this as soon as possible.
(The body was taken for post-mortem.)
Ted Edward was in office, when he got the phone call.
Mr. Edward this is David Russell.
(David Russell was the doctor of forensic department.)
Hello David what have you got for me?
Nothing, detective to be particular, there’s nothing in the body, not a single foreign finger prints or any sign of murder or use of and drugs. The death seems so natural.
But there’s only one thing that I can assure you about that death.
What exactly is that?
The time, as of the state of that body it seems that he died around midnight, to be more precise at exactly 12:00, and that the victim had migraine. We found the chemical of pills of migraine.
12’o clock, how is that possible?
Yes, I am Detective
Thanks for that, Doc I’ll call you later.
Anytime you want detective.
Ted was in hysteria.
The time, as of the state of that body it seems that he died around midnight, to be more precise at exactly 12:00.
He had called and, ordered breakfast and morning newspaper, when I came here the door was open, and in the bed as now he is he was lying there unconscious so I called the manager.
What was the time?
It was around 5:55 am when he called, and when I reached here it was around 6:10.
Ted went back to the hotel and asked the manager who was the operator of the phone call that was made for room service. Can you please let me know about all the calls that were made in last 24 hours?
I’m afraid you have to ask the kitchen operator for that. I’ll call him for you.
Ted was waiting in the lobby, when he was asked to follow a waitress to the operator’s room by the side of the kitchen.
Ted asked the operator “Can you please let me know about all the calls that were made in last 24 hours?”
Yes, of course detective.
11:00 Room 13 get me some champagne and cold ice
11:05 Room 46 can you get me some fast food?
5:55Room 47…get me some newspaper and cup of coffee.
Ted had found it hard to believe. He left the hotel and headed for his office.
He was in his office thinking what had just happened. He could not just believe what had just happened, two of the genius creation of science stood against him.
The doctor couldn’t be wrong neither the phone. He had no idea of what had just happened. He was just recollecting the thing that has just happened.
He had called and, ordered breakfast and morning newspaper, when I came here the door was open, and in the bed as now he is he was lying there unconscious so I called the manager.
What was the time?
It was around 5:55 am when he called, and when I reached here it was around 6:10.
11:00 Room 13 get me some champagne and cold ice
11: 05 Room 46 can you get me some fast foods?
5:55Room 47…get me some newspaper and cup of coffee.
The time, as of the state of that body it seems that he died around midnight, to be more precise at exactly 12:00, and that the victim had migraine. We found the chemical of pills of migraine.
Chemical of pills of migraine
Get me some newspaper and cup of coffee.
Why would a migraine affected patient ask for a coffee? And on top of everything he was a Doctor.
It was 12 in the evening and Ted was still thinking, when he got call form his wife.
Ted where are you?
Honey sorry, I was stuck in middle of a case.
When are you coming home?
I’ll just be there in a moment.
Early in the morning, since there were no evidences found of that death, thus it was assumed to be suicide and the case was closed.
Back in HDP…Lecone was working hard to earn promotion, he had convinced his boss already with his work and still he was trying to make best impression so that he would get that promotion for sure.
He was working on the computer; a beautiful voice interrupted him…

It was Denise.
Hi Denise how are you doing?
