March in Mumbai was always unpredictable, but once every decade or so it was downright sadistic, fluctuating wildly between tantalising promises of spring and the last angry death throes of stubborn Summer that had no intention of going.

Mumbai was out of force cherishing the temporary solution that the state was actually habitable to.

Inspector Nakuul Shetty far stretched out on chair on his front porch, newspaper in one hand, a mug of coffee in the other. He hadn't forgotten about last week's drama in his office about a petty robbery case, sipping his coffee he watched, as the neighbourhood engaged in all manner of personal torture, huffing and puffing and sweating furiously against the hot climate.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5jMCW83ND
He was on a second cup of coffee and almost to the sports section when a Volvo station wagon pulled into the driveway. Viraj Yadav hopped out with his enormous cooler and a bag of chips ,his belly fitted the generous limits of Tommy Bahama shirt and a beefy legs poked out from a terrible pair of plain Bermuda shorts.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wBV4Ab0O8
"Hey Nakuul" he jumped of onto the porch and dropped the cooler. "I come bearing gifts of animal flesh and fermented grains with chips."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxpXvzSgw
Nakuul lifted a dark brown" At 8 o'clock in the morning? Tell me this means Anjali finally kicked your sorry ass out so I can call her and propose."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U801oq1va
"You should be so lucky. This is charity. Anjali folks took her and the kids to some craft thing at the mall so I had a free Sunday thought I could liven up your so called life."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBQ5ypaLR2
Shetty got up and looked into the cooler. "What's the craft thing?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO1aggNrmy
"You know this places with all types of booths with people make houses out of old grocery bags and stuff like that"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHMcBQQ8Hu
Shetty pulled out a package of sickly looking plump grey white sausages, "What are these things that look like your legs?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4AXlrG66
"Those are uncooked brats imported all the way from Nepal you food pygmy. Where's your grill?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51f8CZhtH8
Nakuul gestured towards a rusty old Weber in the corner of the porch.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aW5o8cfQy
Viraj nudged it with his foot and it collapsed. "We are going to need a duct tape."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqM6aWyyAj
Nakuul shifted a suspicious looking dark Orange break of cheese,"12 year Cheddar? Is that legal?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75K8ctP3LC
Viraj grinned. " That stuff will make you weep with joy I promise. Got it at great little cheese house in Bangalore somebody forgot about a wheel in the cellar and found it 12 years later covered in about of foot of mold. Nirvana my friend. Pure Nirvana. It's amazing what a cow and some bacteria can do."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv1jr0F2oe
Nakuul sniffed it and cringed." Oh yeah everytime I see a cow I think, Heyy, wouldn't it be great to get some bacteria and really do something with this thing, And why do you have a file folder in the cooler?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ3Yh67Hkt
"It's a cold case."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uEBIU95gU
"Very funny!"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aBpdEaWVW
Nakuul sat down on the chair and open the folder "Victim is sort of a plumber right."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7scoYblSqO
"That's the one. Shot 7 times 3 of them in places I don't even want to think about."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziTjJ1EST7
"Plumbers charge too much."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzvfR74ygl
"Tell me about it, but other than that this guy was damn near a candidate for Sainthood. He made alive out of warlife, migrated to India ,started business ,married ,had three kids Deacon of church, about to be minority leader of the political party and then bled to death on bathroom floor after someone used him for target practice."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPVrfzo7t0
"Suspects?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7yvEynMmu
"Hell no. According to the reports in there everybody loved him. Case dried up in about 2 seconds."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCAtoYwLsj
Nakuul grunted and tossed the folder on the floor," Most guys with the free Sunday would probably find something else to do like sit on a beach or Lake or count bikinis or watch porn."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8VTDB8kVC
"Yeah, Well I am a crime fighter, I have a higher purpose."
Then ran a hand through his closely cropped hair reconsidering.
"Besides it's probably too early for porn."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dt3evO7oA
Before the call, Nakul had finally finished duct taping the legs back on his grill. Viraj had gone inside to unload the cooler and when he came back out to the porch he was beaming.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AfddSwAeO
"Hey, want to see a body?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtv6Du6R5T
Nakul sat back on his heels and frowned "You found a body in my kitchen?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiRcv5Q0Bi
"Nah silly, phone rang when I was in there so I picked up got an honest to God homicide call. It's a hotel. The maid found the famous singer Vivaan Singh on the stairs. Truly gruesome they are saying, beheaded."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2lGb1uTU
Nakuul looked wistfully at the grill and sighed. "What happened to the on-duty guys who were supposed to be taking this? It's gonna be a field day for media"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2bflnf7s3
"Aditya and Rohit, just what I wanted to know. They got at the train yard over in Thane, found some poor bastard tied to the tracks."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQqdVKE9TO
Nakuul winced.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdnEZWkuEf
"Nah, Don't worry, the train never hit him."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI26U3bX3R
"So, He Okay?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0UuH6AcuQ
"Nope, He's dead."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4b7mTbWM1
Nakul looked at him expectantly
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyqOILbBO
"Don't look at me that's all I got."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1OiSUq4U9
He jumped when his shirt pocket spit out an irritating ringtone.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkjE7oBAC3
"What is that?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sAIkaa7a0
Viraj pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stamped the screen viciously on the patterns half the size of his chubby fingers.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJKdgKixVJ
"Dammit ,Sania--- kids programming in all this weird things cause she knows I got no clue on how to change it"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPENecY3t
Nakuul grinned," That's funny.'
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1QODAVHZN
The phone beeps again.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwxMWzfXjW
"Fourteen year olds are funny only when they belong to someone else, Shit, I'm going to invent one of these things with big fat buttons and make a billions out of it"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRozKCbFHW
" This is Inspector Yadav."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX88MCprPD0
Nakuul stood and brushed off the rust of his hands, listened to Viraj grunt onto the phone for a few seconds then went inside to lock up. By the time he got back out to the porch Viraj had retrieved his gun from the car and was looking at the belt that almost held up his Bermuda shorts he looked like an armed and dangerous tourist.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vn1RQVRi3
"I don't suppose you have got a pair of pants that would fit me?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQwSreQ1s
Nakuul just smiled at him.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchXn4eyHuZ
"Aww, Shut up! that was Rajan on the phone. He and Sam just got called for a suspected homicide. "Suspected" meaning someone did a little interior design with a few gallons of blood but there's no body and guess what?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkc6UWDZSx
"He want us to take it."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQFhcHMCpx
"Nah, dispatch told him that we were on the hotel thing that's why he called. The bloody house is just a few blocks over."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8qtg3wSQQ
Nakuul frowned "That's a very pretty decent neighborhood."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhhDclodhB
"Right not exactly a killing field. And all of a sudden we have got two possibles in one day."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdxewD3vTP
"The guy who lives in that house is- or was also a influencer which means famous just like our guy."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsGWVZTAlq
Nakuul thought about it for a minute. "He's thinking cluster? What that some psycho's running around killing rich famous people?"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGNXH27vuh
Viraj shrugged. "He was just giving a heads up thought we would keep in touch just in case something clicks!"
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFBEOvftii
Nakuul sighed looked longingly at the grill.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFygC138JMW
"So we are back in business."
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Ep5ZRHU1
"Big time" Viraj paused for moment.
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjkl3dbcR
"You ever think there's something wrong with a job where you only have something to do if someone gets murdered??
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nKYLLVk07
"EVERY DAY my friend."
