Rowan came back home from his job, he shut the door leaning against it with a heavy sigh, his forehead pressed to the cold wood. He took of the coat and threw it on the couch. He went inside his bedroom and started undressing. Got under a cold shower, trying to wash the tiredness off.
He got out, put on a random shirt with random sweatpants and went towards his kitchen. He looked in his fridge, almost empty. Only a few cans of beer, some eggs, chives and milk. He sighed, took two eggs and milk. Made some scrambled eggs and opened a can and sat down on the couch.
He kept sipping his beer, lost in thought. He got up and started washing the plate. Later he went to bed at 1 AM after finishing his pending book.
He was working on a case. A case which involved rather disturbing things. To put it simply, he was on a case of malpractice of medical drugs and and human experimentation. All the leads, that they found, had led to dead ends.
The case is on a famous pharma and research lab,
"The Beth Pharma and Biodiversity studies PVT, LTD".
It was rumored that they used humans rather than small rodents for testing. And not just humans-children. Under the age of 15, and orphaned.
His seniors said to drop the case, to not look more into it. But Rowan didn't want it to turn into a cold case. He wanted to know who did it, why they did it and for what reason did they do this.
He woke up when he felt the sun rays on his face from his window. Groggily, he walked towards the bathroom, ready to start another restless day. Another day of traveling non-stop, finding absolutely nothing.
He went and made some cereal as breakfast. After eating he went and picked his coat up from the couch.
When he got ready to start the day, his door bell rang. He went and opened the door, to see a random man wearing a lab coat. He asked, "Hi, how can I help you?". The man looked at him and then proceeded to speak, " Good morning, sorry to interrupt your morning, I am Preston White. I am one of the scientists from the Beth corporation."
"Oh, so your company actually decided to accept my request, huh?" Rowan scoffed "Sorry, that came out sounding wrong. I am Rowan Blackwood, a human rights investigator" Rowan added in a haste "Oh no it's fine, I wouldn't have been surprised if you had actually snapped." Preston replied, his nose scrunching up as he gives Rowan a polite smile.
Preston's ginger hair started to flow as a gust of wind came. He looked.... Unreal... Rowan thought, "Is this really a scientist...?So unreal.... Stop thinking like that Rowan! Get your head straight!"
Preston looking at Rowan's conflicted expression asked, "Is something wrong Detective Blackwood?" Rowan got out of the daze and replied, " Yeah, I am alright.. Just, thinking about the case" He continues, "Though I have to ask why did they send you now? After months of notice, and why a scientist?"
