A Revealing Breakfast

Briggs unfolded the Sunday paper. Brenda stood in front of the stove, making bacon.

“Mmm, who wants some yummy breakfast?” she hummed musically. A grunt was his only reply.

Briggs ruffled the papers as he chewed his first piece of bacon. Nothing of interest, until a little segment at the bottom of of the page caught his eye.

Priest of St. Theodore is Brutally Murdered..Now this was something to get interested in. Briggs read on.

The body of Micheal Walton was found yesterday at 9:47 P.M. Organ-player, Rachel Regan, came back into the church when she noticed father Walton hadn’t come out of the church yet.

Regan came back inside to find that Father Walton had had his neck slit, and his hands and feet nailed to the cross by four daggers.

Detective Strong was the first one on the case. While examining the daggers, Strong noticed that the daggers had the initial L, written on them. Further investagations are taking place.

This meant that Briggs was gonna be a cop again.
