The harbor fog clung to the quay as night whispered secrets through half closed lanterns and unseen footsteps beyond gates. A knock shattered stillness, followed by siren lights sighing over timbered warehouses and a body wrapped in rain soaked velvet. Inspector Mirren arrived, cigarette curling blue smoke, noting footprints converging toward a cracked hatch and a glove forgotten ashore nearby. The promenade residents whispered about a vanished alibi, while gulls cried out like witnesses and waves rearranged the docks' secrets. From the victim's pocket, a card slid free, stamped with an address that burned with possible betrayals and merciless debts. A wind tossed envelope fluttered from stairwell, whispering a warning and wresting questions from the shadows that watched around here. He tasted salt on his lips, thought of coerced confessions, and promised to sift every lie from a quiet town. At dawn, the tide would erase footprints, but not the questions haunting those who slept beneath the city’s breath tonight.
