Brain matter was painted over the east wall of the junkie’s apartment, bits of tooth and gum, strewn along the messy floor. The body, almost untouched, held a disfigured head, that had a large bullet wound, vaulted through the forehead. This seemed to have damaged the skull. His fingers were mangled in an awful way the bones shattered and flesh torn. How long had this guy, poor state he was in, sat here? You could no longer see his eyes or his nose. His leg had long harsh bruises, some flesh torn, but very little. The small toe, of the right foot was missing, but Detective Maher saw to it that the wound was already sewn up, and most likely from a previous injury.
What kind of pain had he gone through? Certainly too much, before the final blow, from perhaps what looked of a shotgun to the face, and maybe, just maybe, Maher might have been lucky enough to have discovered a suicide. Then there would be no investigation, and he could call this whole thing off. Perhaps he knew that it wasn’t, and this would now concur in a long, painful, and tiring strand of weeks, and even months. Perhaps this was too much to assume. Especially for a rookie like Maher, fucked if he knew anything, could result in a decent conviction. Perhaps rookie's get it too rough...
He stood, examining the junkie’s remains, his slacks, almost dripping with blood from the floor. His eyes read tired, and his hair piled to one direction, probably from the pillow he laid his head to rest on. Maher’s pistol was shoved in his belt at the back, providing and uncomfortable sitting position, and an easy target. So this is where he failed.
All Maher knew, was that he had been called in to look at a body, that had been discovered just shy of three hours before, and he was alone, in a junkie’s apartment. He didn’t know that someone else was in the room with him, and it wasn’t someone he wanted to see. It wasn’t any other police officers, no surrey. Before Maher knew it, his gun was removed from under his belt, and his brain matter was now strewn across the wall, and the murderer, escaped…

This is like a detective story, nothing you haven't seen before....or maybe its something different...
