Chapter 345: Again
A lot of people agreed that in life the two constants that you could count on were death and taxes. But as far as Marge Pierce was concerned There was another constant that many often overlooked.
And it was the fact that people always found ways to mess up and ruin even activities that had been started with the purest of intentions. Often when such things happened crimes were being committed. People lied, they cheated, they stole.
No matter the weather, cold, hot, rainy, dry, even windy, there was always someone doing something to break the law. Which meant that every single hour of the day, there was a criminal offence being reported at police stations around the world.
But just because crimes were reported, it did not mean that they all got the same amount of attention. It was not a truth that most people liked hearing.
But it was something that was true. The police were people too. They often did their best to solve cases but there were some cases that they gave special attention to. Any officer who said that they did not do that was a big fat liar.
Cases like those with high profile people, celebrities, politicians, diplomats, those got a lot of attention. Mostly because such cases brought a lot of attention.
But the cases that also received special care were those that involved children. Another one that officers often paid special attention to was serial killers. When it came to those guys a lot of people chipped in. Trying their best to get the monsters off the streets, as quickly as possible. Trying to prevent more people from becoming victims. After those cases, there existed another section that determined the swiftness and the dedication with which a case was approached. And that was whether or not it struck a chord with the detective investigating it.
Different officers had various cases that just reignited their spark. Cases that made them want to give one hundred and ten percent all the time whenever they came across similar cases. For some it was when pedophiles were involved. For others it was rapes. Some went all in when it came to murders. Then there were those who could not let drug cases go until arrests were made.
For Marge, the cases that got a reaction out of her, were the cold ones. The unsolved cases of her long career bothered her. often waking her up in the middle of the night. Especially the ones that she could not solve personally. Anything and everything that involved those cases she wanted to know.
During those times when they disturbed her sleep. She would wake up wishing for something, anything, to pop up in regards to the investigation so that she could throw herself into it once more, and hopefully manage to solve it.
But when she had been hoping for new developments. The current progress in the Haven-Molson case was not at all what Marge had been thinking of.
Derek Haven and Emily Molson were missing.
