Developpement [English]

Three detectives: Luna White, 40 yr old woman, Lucian Starr, 40-something yr old man, Jacob Diller, 20-something yr old man.



"So what now?" the girl grinned wickedly. She definitely had lost it.
"Nathalie, be careful!" detective Luna's attempts to make the her move away from the roof's edge weren't working.
"Pfft, like it matters now. I'm gonna die anyways." she took a step closer to the railing of the twentieth floor of the building.
"Nathalie, please listen!" now the three detectives were in pure panic, but only Lucian managed to speak. "You won't get a death sentence for a single murder, come on!"
She laughed hysterically.
"A single murder? Please, you're so stupid." she stuffed her hands in her pockets, despite the danger it meant. "You don't learn that kind of precision from books."
The atmosphere became thick all of a sudden. The investigators knew perfectly what it meant. And suddenly, the beeping of a cellphone broke the silence.
"Detective, we found around four corpses buried in the forest. All mutilated, like the Talford guy."
The phone fell to the ground.
Before the teenager could say anything, however, the younger detective spoke.
"Nathalie, listen." his voice was calm, but the other investigators could feel the tension. Nathalie, however, couldn't. "You're underage. If this goes on quickly, you won't get a death sentence. Heck, you can't even get jail."
After those words, her eyes opened in fear. Her voice then came out as a whisper.
"I'll be eighteen in a month."
"We'll solve this before that time. I promise." the detective took a few hesitant steps towards the girl, and after a second, she advanced towards him too. "Come here, please."
"No, you come." her voice was still shocked "Say it to my face. Promise I won't die."
Against his fellows' unspoken suggestions, the man got closer to her.
"I promise. You won't get death."
She suddenly grinned again.
"Of course I will."
In a swift motion, she took a small knife from her pocket and attempted to stab the detective. However, Nicholas moved, and she only got his leg. He was forced to kneel in pain.
"You can't control everything." and with those words, Nathalie Columbine jumped from the roof.
Even in the distance, detective Nicholas could make out her body on the floor, destroyed by the fall. It was an image he could not forget.
