“Dammit Jones! Get those files found or I’ve gotta go to Ray with this.”
“Henry, I don’t know what’s going on. Results are in each files. Those sheets had to be removed one by one.”
Henry angrily scrubbed his face. The photos showed an oval black smudge on the right cheek of each victim. The shape was good for a fingerprint. It could be grease, coal dust. The trace analysis could ID the killer. The crisis of lost or misplaced paperwork was a cauldron on the verge of boiling over.
He heard paperwork shuffled.
“Wait wait! God… here they are.”
Velvet Verbosity’s 100 Word Challenge presented the word “Crisis” as inspiration. Trying to resolve the cliffhanger I doubled up with two quick posts so I would get lynched. 🙂
