The Nighthawk Pt. 10

Abby reached over and turned up the music as she went page by page through the folder. I leaned back in my chair and tried to relax. People out there were in danger of dying but I had to approach this calmly.  If I rushed, I would miss something important. At best it would take me longer to find out what was going on and at worst the culprit would evade me and kill more people with impunity. Of…

The Nighthawk Pt. 9

After a few moments, the door opened and Abigail Brand stood in the doorway, peering at us through her glasses.  She smiled when she looked at my face but looked confused when she glanced at Corva. Back when I was on duty I never would have brought such a young woman along unannounced unless they were a cop. Corva definitely did not match that description. On top of that, her goth appearance was…

The Nighthawk Pt. 5

“You certainly get right to the point,” Corva said with a shrug. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you what I am and explain a bit. After all, we are going to be working together.”  “We’re working together?” I asked. This young woman sure was pushy.  “We are,” Corva said, her eyes making it clear that she was not backing down. “Of course, detectives work with a partner, right? In the…
