Flash Fiction 1

The City of Criminals In the 19th century, I was employed as a new detective at the LAPD just at 35 years of age and as one of the most brilliant detectives in the service. This was the time when I was preparing to get married to you so that we could relocate to LA together. I know you could realize that I was so worried about the people’s perception in this region, given that we could be the only White American family in a black and colored neighborhood. My deployment followed the decision to bring more fresh detectives, mandated to restore sanity in a region where drug dealing and money laundering were among the most common businesses. The illegal businesses in the area that made many heartless residents extremely rich and dangerous were major concerns for all the detectives. As my wife, I am sure you could notice how uneasy and disturbed I could become many times, especially when I shared about the challenges I had at work. Being one of the most brilliant detectives brought in the region as fresh blood, I found myself in a very compromising situation when I was faced with the possibility of covering a heinous crime of murder in my first assignment. One of the most challenging cases that I handled was the murder of Charles Gamble, who was a waiter at the Barclays hotel. The Barclays hotel is one of the notorious joints where the significant money launderers and drug dealers would always meet to strike their deals, share proceeds and make most of their following plans. This landmark hotel was widely known as a high-end joint that only admitted the richest and the most’ respected’ people in the region and beyond. Rover Teale, the hotel owner, is said to be one of the leading money launderers who had no respect for human lives and would do anything to get away with murder and illicit business deals. While the 5-star hotel was widely known for its unique cuisines that made the institution maintain long Toan Nguyen 2 term business engagements with its customers, it was the heart of money laundering, with all the employees given a strict warning and forced to sign non-disclosure agreements that indicate that they shall never disclose anything fishy activities that they may have seen in the hotel. I learned that this is the agreement that Charles Gamble had violated, which eventually led to his murder. Nobody would cross the paths of the business people, who were very ready to kill anybody, including their partners presumed to be untrustworthy or suspected to be working with other external parties. The hotel further acted as a money-laundering joint where most of these thugs would clean their dirty monies and give good commission to the hotel manager. The hotel was highly protected by the rogue police officers, who were among the major beneficiaries of the illicit dealings in exchange for illegal firearms, police protection, and cover-ups. When I realized that I was coming into an already compromised system, where my seniors were the accomplices to criminal activities, I knew that my life was in danger. When Charles’s case was reported and assigned to me, Rover Teale approached me with an incredible deal that demanded nothing less than a cover-up of the murder case. He told me that he would give me a million dollars to report Charles’s death as an accidental occurrence, not cold-blood murder. While I was contemplating how to prove my professionalism in my role as a detective and bring all the perpetrators of the crime to justice, I became more confused when I learned the details of the case. While interrogating Rover Teale, I realized that the murder is connected to a complex chain of criminal activities that my senior officers were aware of. I learned that Rover Teale is a well-connected businessman who has been involved in a chain of illicit business activities that the detectives in LA have always covered. Right from the onset of the case, I realized that while I would wish to do justice to the victim of the rime, the case was life-threatening and would compromise my relationships with my seniors and make me become a marked man. I further realized that so many detectives have either been murdered or have mysteriously disappeared in the process of following up the cases related to Rover Teale and his friends. I found myself in a situation where I had to weigh two options; to follow up on the life-threatening case, prove my ability to render Toan Nguyen 3 justice to the victim and bring an end to the criminal gangs at Barclays hotel, or take up the life-changing bribe that Rover Teale was readily offered. I settled for the latter to save my life and give my time to learn more about criminal activities and find the best solution without being a marked man. Together with his friends, Rover Teale proves to be a criminal gang with the support of the top detectives. They are ready to bribe any officer to cover any unlawful activities and continue acting with impunity. With the high corruption that runs deep throughout LA, the death of Charles that was reported as ‘accidental’ was just a tip of the iceberg since many deaths always go unreported in this area, with almost all the law enforcement agencies compromised rubberstamp the continuity of the trade.

However, I am undergoing e horrible experience after losing my brother, who allegedly passed away due to “accidentally.” However, I am not convinced that his passing was an accident. Like any other death, there is a need for a thorough investigation to rule out any possibilities of murder. Investigators such as Baker are obligated to conduct conclusive research in such incidents. However, Baker was hesitant in this case, which led to me being even more suspicious about my brother’s death. As I sought justice and truth about what happened to my brother, I approached the police Captain to request more assistance after establishing that Baker was hesitant. On my way home from seeking the police Captain’s help, Baker approached me on the police station parking lot and threatened me that it would get rough for me if I continued pursuing my brother’s death. He also warned me to let the matter rest while convincing me that it was an accident. However, his threats made me realize that I was on the right path to seeking the truth about what happened to my brother, and more so, I realized there was a cover-up about his passing.

Without knowing what was happening, I decided to approach the police captain and let him know about my situation. I was introduced to the investigators who questioned how I met my brother’s body. I explained I met him lying down in the bathroom without any signs of struggle. I also explained to them that he had no prior health problems, which helped rule out the possibility of health complications. They reopened the entire case and began a formal investigation into my brother’s death in their curiosity. The pair of investigators requested a thorough postmortem, which concluded an altercation between my brother and a second party before his murder. They also discovered bruising in his hand, wrists, and neck, covered with flour to avoid noticing. His lungs also were found to have drowned, which was explained to have been caused by either waterboarding or drowning. After a week of investigation and convincing report that my brother was murdered, my house was broken into at night, but luckily, I was visiting a friend that night. A note was left on my door stating that if I didn’t stop following up on my brother’s death, I would be murdered. It was shocking and worrying since all I wanted to know was the truth about my brother’s demise. The police captain was also shocked and worried about my safety and decided to provide protective custody. After further investigations, the police captain decided to let us know that he had assigned Baker a case about a human trafficking ring operating in the city. Baker’s research had led him to seek my brother’s help unraveling the trafficking ring. However, the head of the ring approached Baker gave him money in exchange for his silence on the matter. The investigators searched for the hotel I was working at and found two underaged girls locked up in one of the suite rooms, unraveling the human trafficking ring and its operations being mainly in the hotel. The investigators also discovered that my brother had found the human trafficking and the perpetrators and those involved and intended to report to the police captain, especially after discovering Baker had switched sides.
