The first we knew that there was anything wrong was when a woman phoned the police station saying her colleague Bill hadn't been in work for a few days and that wasn't like him. The report was he was the reliable type who never missed a day, but that he was not answering his phone either. It wasn't far from our station, and instead of sending one of the young bobby's, I decided to check it out myself. In hindsight I am glad I did as that first few minutes is crucial.
After arriving at the address the caller gave and knocking a few times, with no response, my antenna has started to twitch, so finding the side gate open I wandered around the back, knocking on the rear door. I noticed the kitchen window wasn't quite closed and as I got near, a smell that is unmistakable hit me. Immediately I called it through, knowing there was a high chance I would find something in there that I really didn't wish to, but knowing that it was my job to investigate.
It was just my luck that the first back up on the scene was the newest recruit we had. He was with his partner, who was much more experienced, and was nonchalantly getting out of the car, a small laugh escaping her lips at how excited her young partner appeared. "what's the deal liv?" she asked me as she approached, before noticing the serious look I gave her. Nodding at the house I gave her a quick rundown of the information I had. Letting our young recruit earn his keep, he helped to break the back door then carefully I entered, following my nose up the stairs, where in the bedroom I was shocked at the sight. A man, possibly in his mid fifties, belt around his neck and attached to the inside of a wardrobe, wearing red lacy knickers and bra with matching hold up stockings.
Clearly this was a game he had been playing which had gone wrong. But now was the time to preserve the scene and gather information as to how this single, slightly plumb man had met his end. And the first clue was on the bedside table. A Polaroid picture, of someone in red lingerie, but only showing from the waist downwards. The knickers to one side, and the head of the erection wrapped in soft looking red lips.
The woman giving the blowjob was unidentified as all that could be seen was her mouth and one hand. I guess it takes all sorts, I thought as I looked at the photo and the scene in front of me. And calling through for forensics.
