Broken Beauty

Words 100

β€œWe have some questions Mr Kar.” Rakesh flashed his ID.

β€œYes?”

β€œIt’s over a month since your wife disappeared?”

β€œYes.”

β€œAny messages. Calls?”

β€œNo.”

β€œAny suspicions?”

β€œNone.”

β€œGreat garden.” Rakesh looked around. β€œI too like gardening.”

β€œThanks.”

 β€œThat’s quite a contrast, though,” he pointed, β€œraw, wild and beautiful.”

β€œThat was my wife’s space.”

 β€œAh.”

Rakesh stumbled over a loose stone slab.

β€œCareful. Let’s go back. There’re all sorts of insects, bugs, even snakes.”

β€œInteresting.” Rakesh bent down. β€œOnly a couple of slabs have the prolific creeping Jenny around them.”

β€œWhy run?” Rakesh called. β€œI’ll drive you to the police station.”

  4. Mr Kar was very thoughtful to place his wife in her favourite spot, although I don think she’d have appreciated being under the slab. Quick sleuthing by Rakesh. He obviously knows his botany.

  7. Loved Rakesh’s detective skills in finding the culprit of Mr.Kar’s wife. Mr.Kar thought he outsmarted everyone by burying his wife in her own favorite garden and roaming around free but couldn’t save himself from Rakesh’s naked eye which caught him in the end.

    Thanks
