Free Write #3

Prompt: "You let a blind man drive, so you don't get a opinion."

   
  Bright yellow police tape stretched between the large oaks that run along the outskirts of the field,  enclosing the crime scene form the  public viewing. Multiple police and EMS vehicles line
 the park while officers keep the curious citizens from entering the scene. Six very annoyed detectives surround yet the second dead body found that very day. "Why is the body always found at the most inconvenient time of day?," whined Detective Todd.
 "It's only 2 in the afternoon," bluntly stated Detective Young.
 "But that is the time my Soap Opera comes on."
 "You have to be kidding me."
"Hey! I don't judge you on-"
"Will you two stop bickering!," cut in Detective Molly. "We have a job to do and were already short one person."
  The other three detectives who were moments ago watching the argument with amused expressions now had a sour look on their face at the mention their fellow detective who has failed to show up to the scene yet. Not wanting to argue with the head detective, the group got down to work. 
The body laying in front of them looked like any other middle aged women who obviously had one to many plastic surgery done, other than the fact that she was found buried under 3 feet of solid ground.
"Do we have any witness?," questioned Detective Scott.
"Only two homeless guys," answered Detective Eric while motioning the witness to come over.
Of course the witnesses had to be Henry and Gus, their always the same ones to "claim” to see every attack that happens in the park but gives the most useless information when asked about it. 
"Are you going to give us information that is actually useful this time?," plainly asked Detective John.
"We'll talk for money," stated Gus.
"That’s not how its works."
"Fine then I guess we won't tell you."
"We could get more useful information from broken security cameras then from you two," commented Detective Eric already turning away from the two.
"Wait, last night I saw-," started Henry.
Before he could finish his story, the sounds of screeching tire wheels cut him off mid sentence.
All heads whipped towards the  entrance of the park where a white Honda rushed into the park leaving tire tracks behind, before doing a full 360 turn and stopping yards away from the group of detectives.
The passenger opens and the one and only Detective William steps out with smug smirk on his lips.
"Best uber drive ever, who ever knew a blind man could drive so good," happily chirped Detective Williams while walking to the rest of the shock group of people. After realizing what the heck just happened Detective Molly furiously walked up to the new arrival and japed a finger at his chest asking, "Why were you late and what the heck were you thinking?"
"That not important at the moment what is important is the case," said Detective Todd who's impatiently waiting for this to be over so he could go back to his TV show. 
"Okay then my theory is that she has hit multiple times with a-," started the least popular person at the moment Detective Williams.
"Shut it," harshly stated detective Molly who was currently glaring daggers at the fellow detective.
"I was only going say what my opinion-."
"You let a blind man drive , so you don't get a opinion."
"Fair enough."
