The investigations into the death of the Donati parents had commenced immediately their bodies were discovered and had ended faster than that. The police in St Mathews were corruption personified and only needed a little nudging for them to let the case drop. Nobody relied on them though, the killer may have as well payed them to carry out the assassination themselves. 

Joseph soon embarked on the investigation himself, he had control over the largest gang group known in the hood. Fearless daredevils who was loyal to him above all else. Whatever classified information he wanted, he got it as easily as looking up google. No matter what it took, all he needed was to ask questions and the answers would come immediately. 

Why would anybody want his parents murdered? 

Who was bold enough to pull the trigger? 

Who was behind the gun man?

And most importantly 

How did the shooter know where his parents would be and what time they would be there? 

These were the questions that littered Joseph's jotter. Questions he needed answers to. If anyone was bold enough to put a hit on his family, he would have to have extra guts and extra backing. He had drawn up a list of all the assassins he knew, from the professional ones who were professional enough to hit a family like his and walk undetected down to the naive ones who were stupid enough to carry out hits without asking questions or to be used by people. 

He carried out several meetings with men from his gang who worked 24 hours to unravel the identity behind the crime. So far none of the names on their list had clicked. Everyone had his alibi. 

"What are we missing here?" he had asked in one of his meetings with Lugo, a top member of his clique 

"Maybe we should widen our scope, include more suspects?" 

He had suggested. 

"Good suggestion, i am going to get the fool who did this, even if it meant tearing down Georgian and St Mathews " he had threatened 

" You think a rich folk is involved?"

"I believe so, a lot of guts and a lot of money should be involved, money that can wipe fear from the mind, but i don't think a Georgian would do sh1t in St Mathews without a middle man, they may have lived here once but things change, that link is what i need"

"True, bribery must also be involved, the police, we should check them out, don't you think?"

"Yea, talking about the police, the spot my parents were killed in, it was an open area and always patrolled by cops, but that night was different, there was none" 

"So you think someone killed the patrol that night for some reasons?"

"I don't know, why don't we ask the police? After all, they are our friends " He said with a wry smile on his face
