Accident

It was up to her to investigate how the accident had really happened. It was a very strange case. A man had driven his car straight into the river. There were no brake marks on the road. Her colleagues thought that it was either just a drink-and-drive case or a exhausted drivers case. Jo was not sure. Something about this whole thing seemed wrong. There was nothing unusual jumping at her from the case. It was something so subtle that she couldn't really put her finger on it yet. She had that tingling feeling in the brain that said that the grey cell s in the brain had noticed and analyzed something her common sense could not yet explain. But it was right there in front of her of that she was sure.

Fire

The fire was getting closer to the city. The tongues of black smoke licked the narrow windless streets of the city. The air was heavy and the smell of smoke had soaked in everything to such degree that people no longer noticed the smell. Eyes of citizens were red and burning. Breathing was a real torture. People had tied a piece of cloth soakedin water;in front of their mouth in desperate hope for relief. Lack of oxygen in the streets had made most of the people hide in the buildings. The heat was also unbearable and it crept though the soles of shoes the very moment you stood still too long. The luxury of air conditioning was only the privilege of the rich, therefore Chris used every possibility to sneak into fancy shops and wander around as long as he could till the guard saw him and kicked him out.
