Chapter 1 The Boy from the Grave
The sun had just set, casting an orange glow across the small town of Willow Creek. Detective Jameson stepped out of his car and made his way to the crime scene. A crowd had gathered around a freshly dug grave, where a young boy's body had been found.
As Jameson approached, he could see that the boy was no more than 10 years old, and he felt a knot form in his stomach. He pushed his way through the crowd, trying to get a closer look at the body.
The boy was lying face down in the grave, his arms stretched out in front of him. Jameson noticed that his hands were tied behind his back, and his clothes were torn and dirty. He looked as if he had been struggling for his life.
Jameson felt a wave of anger wash over him. This was no accident. This was a cold, calculated murder, and he was determined to find out who was responsible. He made his way over to the lead investigator, Detective Thompson, and asked him what he had found so far.
Thompson told him that they had received a tip from a local resident, who had seen a suspicious car near the grave site. They had followed up on the lead, but so far, it had led to nothing. The only other thing they had found was a small, torn piece of cloth near the boy's body, which they were hoping would lead to a breakthrough in the case.
Jameson felt a sense of frustration. This case was starting to feel like a dead end, and he knew that time was running out. He made a mental note to keep searching for that car, and to keep an eye out for anything else that might lead them to the killer.
As the night wore on, Jameson couldn't shake the image of the boy in the grave from his mind. He was determined to bring the killer to justice and to give the boy the peace that he deserved. But first, he had to find out who was responsible, and he couldn't do it alone.
