PC Karim Rashid came out of the interview room feeling like someone had attached a thousand lead weights to him. He’d gone in to interview an unidentified male suspected of stealing food from a local shop, and had come out with an allegation of a major s*x trafficking ring that was operating right on their doorstep.
He knew this would likely be his last involvement with the case. Now, he had no choice but to refer it up to CID. It was just another thing which made him realise how much he wanted to work in CID himself, and to be the one to work on this sort of case. He could imagine the scale and intensity of the investigation now, and he salivated as he thought of it. It was the sort of case that could make an enormous difference to the fabric of local society.
