Creative Writing: Clancy's Murder

As the month went by, all the murderers were caught. According to Mooney, they were all working together. “They were like some sort of gang,” said Mooney, “Just less organized.” The killers were caught, due to evidence being found in their houses, many of which, were murder weapons.

One of the households was that of Clancy Byrne’s. While the rookie police officer wasn't found guilty, his older brother Nicholas, was. Nick had been staying with Clancy for a couple days to visit him and his mom, who lived nearby. Clancy’s brother lived in another state, and claimed multiple times, that he was innocent. But the case was solved, and that was that. Almost.

Clancy came to work at the department the day after, and greeted Mooney, and Chris, with a

deadly glare. The look in Clancy’s eyes wasn't anger. It was beyond that. After the month’s recent events, Clancy hated Mooney. Clancy knew Nick was innocent. He tried to tell everyone else, but they believed Mooney. It wasn't unusual for an annoying little rookie to try and draw attention to himself. But Clancy didn't care. He was determined to prove his brother innocent. Clancy didn't even think twice about it, because he knew his brother. Nick was a good guy, who was always kind and selfless person. He missed out on a big party that he was dying to go to, just so he could visit his mother for her birthday, who also believed Nick was innocent.
The next day, Clancy snuck into Mooney’s office, now looking more clean than it ever had been before.

He took a look around the office in search of something, anything, that could prove his brother innocent. Clancy knew the risks he was taking, and what would happen if he got caught, but he didn't care. While he wasn't nearly as good a person as Nick, he was still willing to take risks for the people he loved. As Clancy moved toward the desk, Clancy pushed aside something hard and shiny that was hurting his eyes and looked around. Clancy was looking, particularly, for faulty evidence. He was sure that Mooney had screwed up somehow, and that his brother(and possibly the other accused murderers) were innocent. “Stupid Mooney,” thought Clancy. “Someone probably planted that weapon on my brother, and Mooney just jumped at the chance to get paid.” He searched Mooney’s drawers and bookshelf, and found nothing. “I know I’m missing something…” thought Clancy. And when Clancy took a closer look at his surroundings, he found more than he bargained for. It was then that he heard someone walking toward the room, and swiftly made his way

out.
Clancy and his mother weren't the only people who believed that Nick was innocent.

Meanwhile, in Gramburgh, Detective Jesse Page was one of the many people that were aware of the continuous murders going on in SmallVille. Everyone in Gramburgh considered Jesse nosy and annoying, but she got the job done. Gramburgh, unlike SmallVille, was not very quiet. There was a time, where in Gramburgh, crime lurked in every corner. Ever since the police took more force, the number of scum on the streets lowered dramatically. Detective Page was one of the biggest reasons why. For some time, Page has been busting dirty cops, who work with criminals for their own benefit, which was once one of the town’s biggest problems.

Page´s suspicion began when she learned that every accused criminal that participated in the SmallVille murders pleaded not guilty. Page tried to get everyone aware of this, but they all agreed that those people were the murderers, and they just pleaded not guilty because they were liars too. Page decided she should take matters into her own hands, and after a considerably long drive to SmallVille, where she rented a hotel room, she got right on the case. First, she had a talk with Nicholas
