Notes: This is for @countessselena on the occasion of her birth!! A few weeks ago, she sent me the “cold case” prompt and my muse finally cooperated with me today. (Of course, I was at work and really couldn’t write, but meeehhhhh…) I hope you have the best day today. On your real birthday. Hahahaha. (I’m still laughing, btw…)
I’ve never read much “Detective Noir,” so please forgive me if I absolutely did not capture the mood. I tried, though. Haha. It’s more of a modern AU, however, so consider that while reading. ;)
Thanks to @fleurdeneuf for the last minute beta and read-through!! I greatly appreciate it!!
The Doctor stalks briskly down a darkened alley, grasping onto a thin thread of hope that this contact will give him a lead to solve what is probably the most frustrating case of his career as a private investigator.
It’s the only clearly defined evidence he’s had until an hour ago, when he’d received an anonymous note slipped under his door with specific instructions to arrive at an abandoned police box located several blocks from his office. 11PM. Come alone. Instead of describing the police box and listing a street address, the note had included a complicated code to explain the meeting location, one he’d not seen since his days as a RAF Secret Intelligence Officer. He’d cracked it easily – genius, him – but the cryptic note had definitely piqued his interest.
As he walks, he considers the unsolved mystery. The Bad Wolf has eluded him for years, defying the law while working as an underground vigilante in favor of defending the human rights of those with little to no voice in the world.
By law, it’s his duty as an investigator to apprehend the Bad Wolf, but the culprit is good. Very good. And superior at covering his – or her – steps. He admits a grudging respect and admiration for the London-based vigilante’s persistence and track record throughout the years. Despite the blatant disregard for rules, there’s a part of him inclined to ignore the Bad Wolf, to let this individual work for the power of good in the darker corners of London town.
The Doctor has been meticulous in his investigation, covering his own tracks along the way as well, but his search has continuously left him empty handed, much to his client’s ever-growing frustration. Every lead has vanished like a tendril of smoke, often almost just within his grasp, only to disappear without a trace. It’s as though the very person he seeks anticipates his every move.
A cold case, impossible to crack.
