At first, the reader may well pass over them but gradually the detectives amongst you will begin to notice and think about events and conversations, then start to form ideas. The clues are all there and you may well resolve the crime BUT miss the mystery............. suspense. 'What is it Bill?''Go in and act natural till I close the door, just in case they are outside watching, someone's here, ' he whispered, laying his finger across his lips, 'Shushhhh.' She did as he asked, the best she was able, suddenly gripped with debilitating fear; she could hear a pulse pounding in her head. Bill closed the door and picked up a knife from the rack by the sink. 'Stay behind me and watch my back, ' he said in a voice almost imperceptible. She was sweating and light headed; her mouth was so dry she could hardly move her tongue; all she could hear was her own breathing. They searched each room downstairs then slowly crept upstairs, every creek of the stair treads seemed to produce a deafening echo around the building, causing her to wince, tensing every muscle in her face at each sound as they paused, then moved again. They checked room by room, her heart increasing its pace as they opened each new door. The moonlight playing it's eerie role to perfection, intensifying her anxiety by casting moving shadows through the windows, wherever she looked. SUDDENLY... Detective Inspector Tyyamii has a great future, how would you like to be his assistant in the Marshall Islands
