It was already late in the day when the news came. Rain was pouring down outside Lucia's window. It had been a slow day. Nothing seemed to ever happen in the small town of Hike. Her police agency was short staffed with only eleven people working. She wasn't sure, but they were probably home already. The only reason she remained was that Jimmy, the town drunk, just adored giving the police station trouble. He was the main cause of paperwork to be done, save the daily reports and such. Even the emergency calls went to a bigger station out of town after hours.
Lucia began to release a sigh until the sharp sound of a phone ringing cut through the small room. Finishing up on the last of the paperwork, she grabbed the blocky black landline. "Lucelia Price speaking," Lucia answered briskly. Pausing with another sigh, “Yes of course, I would still be here… Well, we have work to be done too.” Lucia blinked and the tension in her body increased as the other voice spoke. "What?" She barked, disbelief clear in her tone. "A murder? You've got to be... No, we can handle it... Yes, I'm sure." As the conversation continued, her cheek muscles began to pulse in her aggravation. Lucia didn't like to second guessed, especially in her work. The other voice was obviously disbelieving in her and her team’s skills. "Yes sir," she agreed shortly and slammed down on the receiver more violently than she had intended. After the agitation left, the disbelief returned. A murder? It didn't even sound real. Like some sort of prank. But, it had come from a State policeman. Generally, a prank call about a murder would be... well, a felony. Even still...
For a moment, Lucia paused to stare at the door opposite to her before she called in the detectives currently on duty. This would be certainly the most amount of action most of the policemen here have seen in awhile.
