SEVEN TARGETS

elling her about the change of plans by the commander. On arriving home Stephanie and the kids were already at home. When he entered the sitting room and called out to Stephanie

with some water he steered at the direction of the kitchen as though he would see Stephanie walk out. Robert stood up greeted Daniel good night and headed towards the staircase while mumbling some silent words to himself. Now Daniel and Stephanie were left in the living room. Seconds later she walked out and moved close to him. Placing the towel in her hand on the table she drew one of the chairs close to Daniel and sat down. "Are you okay " she asked as she touched his right hand shoulder. " I have been assigned a new case by the commander and I would be going to the crime scene Tomorrow " " You still have not told me about the outcome of the case I asked you about earlier" Stephanie said in a relaxed tone. "I have handed over that to detective Desmond." Robert on the other hand had lingered by the wall of the staircase listening to their conversations. It has become clear to him that his dad would be going out that Saturday to investigate a crime scene,this would give him the opportunity to visit Dave and Jason.As for Stephanie his mum,she's was not as strict as his dad so she would be easy to handle.

Still not happy about the new development she replied with a fading smile. "You know I have never been good at guessing, you tell me". "Come".He held her hands as they both headed upstairs. Hopefully this would make her happy Daniel reasoned. Not even sure how long he had slept before the alarm clock wrenched him awake from sleep on Saturday morning Detective Daniel picked up his phone from the little cupboard beside the bed. Still tired,he jerked himself from bed.he would be going to pick up the case file at the commander's office and after that lead the team to the crime scene to investigate and carry out a series of interviews with the neighbors. The time was already 8:15 a.m He had to prepare and start heading to the commander's office. Stephanie was already out of bed and in the kitchen. He quickly took his shower and headed down stairs. She had prepared a light breakfast of bread ,tea and egg for him. After he finished he kissed her and headed to his car. When he arrived at the commander's office. The commander was arranging the files which he handed over to Detective Daniel as soon as he greeted him and sat down "Morning sir". "Good morning Detective ". "Here are the case files" The commander handed over the files to
