Ah.. you're here so early in my day. I've just finished my breakfast this afternoon. Anyways, as I said you can call me "Jay C".

I'll leave for the RedHill Police HQ in a few minutes. Oh no, I'm not a cop. Neither a government employee.

Well, I sort of am.. you see, sometimes like any other client of mine even the Government officials would hire me on contract to do special investigations.

No, no.. I'm not a psychic or paranormal affirming trickster.

I'm a simple Consultant Detective, well I say simple.. my therapist says hyper observant. But then, she also thinks that the mandatory sessions are helping me.. so, who knows.

Well just so you have some context, today is 27th of January' 2170. And I've not been involved in any incident, accident or tragedy that led to these mandatory therapist sessions.

These days everyone is supposed to have these, if they need a permit to work in public places or certain high society localities.

Yes, we do have Air Taxis. And no, they are not just bunch of drones from pre Space Colony era just assembled together.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Since I already mentioned, we do have Space Colonies and they are as great as you think. Big constructions on big barren masses serving different big purposes of the big elites; ranging from research, exploits to repentance, exile.

There are a lot more things, you might be interested in.. but it will make me late to go for work. So, we'll visit more details when we visit more. Get it.. haha, don't be angry. I promise, I'll try to keep my puns to minimum.

For now, just remember that it's the year 2170 and I'm still on earth. Thankfully, with regret.

But seriously, I shouldn't be late for this meeting with Vinny as someone could be in real trouble.

Oh, yeah.. Vinny is my buddy cop at the RedHill Police HQ. Any external contractor to any of the law enforcement agencies gets assigned an overseer of sorts.

She was a rookie, when I was contracted. So, she got stuck with me. She did say in the past that she doesn't like me much, but I think she is a fan of my work. Anyways, it is what it is.

My AirTaxi is already out waiting for me, so I'll get going. Let's sync-in once I reach the Police HQ, as I plan to get some shut-eye on the way there. I live in one of the subsidised office spaces, yes.. Live. These are a bit far from the workplace of city's guards.
