Detective Work: Revised

There was glass everywhere and blood stained the yellow carpet. Detectives Brown, Smith, and Adams walked into the foul smelling apartment. Looking at the precise bullet hole between the eyes of the victim, Detective Smith was almost positive that the suspect was a trained killer. Detective Brown took pictures of the scene while Adams looked for signs of a struggle or forced entry, then he dusted the doorknob for fingerprints and took blood samples. While examining the window, Adams opened the curtains to find a shattered window, and then dusted the window frame for fingerprints. There was no evidence of an intruder whatsoever. Meanwhile, Smith determined the time of death to be 6 and a half hours before. Brown shut off the TV, which was still on from when the murder occurred. The detectives regrouped outside the room. "Damn, no signs of forced entry, no fingerprints, no evidence, nothing" said Adams. "We have no leads?" said Smith. "No, we're dealing with a professional" said Adams. "Is there anything we can do now?" said Brown. "I'm afraid not Jim" replied Smith. Four days later, there are still no leads, no evidence, no proof of anything. The only possible lead they could have was the bullet which was found in shreds inside of the victim's skull. Jim Brown woke up the next morning, five days after the murder. He went to get coffee at Dunkin' Donuts like usual. But as he sat down, something disturbed him. The man who committed this crime is out there somewhere. In fact, Jim thought that he could be watching him at this very moment.
