Ms.Brown, You have a new case, the case files are on my table.
Valerie takes the case files.
Valerie
Wait chief..A missing person's case!? I don't have any experience on how to solve a missing person's case!
Chief of Police
I trust you to solve this case. Now stop arguing with me and go solve the case. Good luck Ms.Brown.
Valerie
Alright chief..Thank you for giving me this opportunity! I will do my best.
Valerie starts going through the case files.
Her peace is disturbed when her co-worker barges in with a phone in her hand.
Valerie
Woah woah, What are you doing Carrie? You seem distressed.
Carrie
Oh my God Valerie, You won't believe this! Take a look at this article!
Valerie takes a look at the article.
Valerie

The chief walks into the room with a serious look on his face.
Chief of Police
May I talk to Ms.Brown for a second?
Chief of Police
Ms. Brown, You're not just dealing with a missing person's case anymore. You're dealing with a Murder investigation.
Ep.2- Partnering Up
Valerie
What..But- I won't be able to handle the case-
Chief of Police
And that's why, I have another detective that is very used to murder cases. You and him will be partnered up in this case.
Valerie
*whispers to herself*- Ugh, I hate being partnered up for a case!
Chief of Police
Ms.Brown, I heard that. I suppose this will be good for your team work as well.
Valerie
Well then chief, where is he?
Chief of Police
Ms.Brown, he won't come now. It's 1 am in the morning.
Chief of Police
And you should probably go home. You aswell Carrie.
Carrie
yes chief, I'm leaving right away.
Valerie
Wait, Carrie let's go together.
Valerie just arrives at work.
The chief and another man are talking to each other about Marriette's murder.
Valerie
Woah Chief, Why are you disclosing case details with someone unknown?
Sebastian Caballero
Oh Please, Hush, I'm literally on the case. Wait..Valerie!?
Valerie
It's YOU! Sebastian!
Chief of Police
You two..know each other?
Ep.3- The Past
You are now entering a flashback in Valerie's POV:
Valerie starts taking books from her locker for her class.
Sebastian Caballero
Hey Valerie, You ready for class?
Valerie
Hey Babe, I am not really ready for class, You know I hate math.
Sebastian Caballero
But you're good at math! How do you hate it if you're not bad at it?
Valerie
That's a topic for another time.
They are about to kiss, when-
Valerie
oh um..Hey Carrie!
Carrie
Oh, I see..Well, you love birds continue! Sorry to disturb. See ya in class Val!
Carrie skips away to class while giggling.
Sebastian Caballero
Now let's continue?
Valerie giggles and they kiss.
You are now entering another flashback In Valerie's POV:
Valerie
What do you mean you have to move away?
Sebastian Caballero
I know its hard Valerie, But I can't do anything about it.
Valerie
Well what about us?
Sebastian Caballero
That's why I'm here, I'll text, call you everyday. We have to manage a long distance relationship but I think we can do it! Right Val?
Valerie
I'm really sad that you won't be here anymore but..promise me you'll talk to me everyday?
Sebastian Caballero
I promise.
They both hug for a while.
A few days later, You are entering a POV where Sebastian has moved away.
Valerie
Huh? No text or call today from Sebastian..He must be busy..I'll call him today!
Valerie calls sebastian many times but it goes straight to voice mail.
Valerie
..Why isn't he picking up..?
Valerie
It's okay, it's just one day, I'll text him instead!
Valerie texts him and puts her phone down and continues with her day.
Valerie
I can't believe he hasn't even called me once or texted me..
Valerie
I knew he would find someone new. But atleast he could've told me!
She receives a notification.
She immediately grabs her phone to check.
Valerie
It's from sebastian!
*Text message*
Sebastian: Stop calling and texting me please, this isn't working out. I'm going through alot of things right now. Sorry Valerie.
Valerie breaks down crying.
You are now entering the present.
Valerie
Oh we know each other very well chief!
Chief of Police
Well that's great! We're off to a great start.
Chief of Police
Well, I'll leave you two alone so you can discuss the case.
Sebastian Caballero
Look, I know you're angry at me, and you have every right to be angry but hear me out.
Valerie
Oh no, I don't want an explanation. I'm only here for a professional reason. It was pretty clear why you left me anyways. You found a new girl after a month of leaving me!
Sebastian Caballero
That's not even tru-
Valerie
Oh whatever, You want to work on this case together or not?
Sebastian Caballero
I should be asking you that. You wanna be professional? let's be professional and leave our pasts behind.
Sebastian Caballero
You're telling me the case details or not?
They discuss the case for hours.
Valerie
She went missing from her apartment but was found dead in her apartment. She was stabbed 37 times according to the forensic scientist.
Sebastian Caballero
Stabbing..A very personal attack I feel, You have to be close to the victim to stab them and 37 times is a large amount. I feel she was abducted and murdered by someone close to her.
Valerie
I feel the same as well. Let's question her close friends and family tomorrow. It's very late.
Chief of Police
Detectives, There has been another missing person's report.
Chief of Police
and they maybe related to Mariette's case.
Sebastian Caballero
Chief, You're giving the case to us?
Sebastian Caballero
Two cases at once?
Chief of Police
That's because the missing report is of Evelyn Sterling. Mariette Sterling's Mother.
Chief of Police
And I feel, these two Cases are..connected to each other.
