Investigating the Stolen Artwork

Returning to the office the next morning after my romp with a billionaire, I am still dizzy with lust. My mind replays the night over and over in my head. Wow. That is what sex is meant to be like. That was amazing.

It was mind-blowing.

Hmmm…

It takes a while, but I am able to refocus on the case after my third coffee.

I search through Nathan’s case file over and over again. There must be something that I’m missing.

“I still don’t understand why you took that file from Nathan. He wouldn’t have any information that we won’t know. The guy isn’t a private investigator,” David moans from the other side of the table.

“Police work is a hard business, David. You have to trust your instincts and you have to be prepared to do the hard work. That means following any lead possible.”

David shakes his head, “We’ve already followed the leads. There was a crime and we investigated it. We’ve got the right guy. The case is over.”

I don’t believe that Nathan is a prefect law-abiding citizen but I don’t think he did this job. It is too sloppy for someone like Nathan. I’d imagine Nathan would not leave a drop of evidence if he committed the crime.

I don’t think he stole that artwork.

All the clues are too obvious. The DNA and the missing security footage make it too easy.

“There must be something,” I whisper as I flick through the pages.

“Just let it go, would you?” David states from the other side of the table, “We’ve got the arrest and he’s going to court. It’s time to let it go, Sarah. You’re only still looking at this because you think he was hot.”

“Something about this case doesn’t add up, David. Why would a man who could afford anything steal a painting?”

“Because the victim wouldn’t sell it. The motive is clear. Your billionaire wants everything but he couldn’t have that. So he stole it. Case closed Sarah.”

“The case isn’t closed because we’ve got the wrong guy.”

“You thought we had the right guy until you met him.”

“But after I met him, I knew he was innocent. My instincts told me loud and clear that he is innocent. And when have my instincts been wrong before?”

David sighs, “Never.”

“I have to trust my instincts.”

“This time, I think you’re wrong. I think that you’re blinded by his handsome looks. We’ve got the right guy, Sarah. Just because the man is attractive, doesn’t mean he is innocent. We’ve pinned it on him and he’s going down. Don’t let your lust get in the way of good police work.”

“You heard what the Captain said. We have to be sure of this one. And I’m not sure he did it. We have to exhaust every possibility before the case makes it to court.”

“We have exhausted every reasonable possibility. Unless you want us to start investigating the possibility that aliens took the painting, and then chose Nathan at random to set him up and cover their tracks. Yep,
