Cold Case Assassin 2024, solved in 2054
A Fictional Story May Have Been Inspired by The Present Events
2054
"Who is the hoodied man? Is it a woman wearing a men's mask? This person was always smiling directly at the camera. It is like he was saying, you're not going to catch me. " Kitty, the notorious detective was thinking out loud.
Kitty was researching an assassin of a CEO in Manhattan in 2024. Most people think the CEO deserved it because of how he treated the complaints. All he cared about was his investment and money. His wife divorced him due to his uncaring for his family.
Kitty looked at the database of all the first evidence found about this hoodie guy.
His bike and backpack were found with no fingerprints. Kitty thought the backpack was a decoy to make investigators think he used Central Park to get out of the city. Kitty felt he was still in the city for a week or so.
Kitty went back to the database ten days prior to the event. It seemed like he used the Internet bus line, which at that time did not have a terminal and properly ID passengers and record them. It could have been prevented, if they had the technology they have now, kitty thought.
2050, New York City had police monitor drones all across the city. Criminals were getting caught right before they would have committed a crime. On the ground, they had robots who were programmed to watch repeat offenders and detect criminal behaviors.
As Kitty investigated and dug in deeper, the assassin seemed to have lived in the city. He/She may have died by now but she finally solved the case.
The assassin was a transgender elderly in their 50s. The CEO put a stop to funding for clients' transgender mental health and physical health care.
The assassin, Cindy Ross, had a transgender spouse who was in the middle of getting his procedure. It was halted because the insuranced would not pay for the remaining cost. Cindy's spouse committed suicide.
Cindy was so mad every time there was news about the CEO investment projects. Cindy found out there was an event that was going to take place.
Cindy was a computer engineer; she found a way to get information from the CEO's smartphone device and track him down. That's how Cindy executed her assassination plan.
Kitty was able to get information on Cindy's address and death certificate from the database.
Cindy lived in upper Manhattan at the time and she died of old age in 2050. Had Cindy tried to commit the assassin now, 2054 she would have been caught.
Kitty gathered all the evidence and entered them into the database. The Computer database came up with the same conclusion as Detective Kitty.
Kitty solved the cold case within an hour.
Kitty could have just put all the puzzle pieces she gathered and let the 2054 modern technology solve the cold case in minutes. That's what most detectives do now.
2054 technology is like putting info in the 2024 AI program but only more sophisticated and advanced.
Kitty was a hands-on kind of worker. four years ago, Kitty was working for another company. She changed her name since then. She took care of real people. Kitty's name was Anabelle in 2050. The world Changed in just four years time frame.
**************
2050
Anabelle loved being on Facetube her living room had three 65-inch TVs on each wall. Each TV had their names Carl, Zoe, and Luz. The South Wall’s TV was Carl, with a golden nameplate above it. The east wall has a golden nameplate with Zoe above that smart TV. The West wall had Luz on the golden name plate above that smart TV.
She sits all weekend on her comfortable plush red sofa with the iPod that controls all three Smart TVs. She only gets up to make herself a meal and uses the bathroom. Anabelle is an attractive woman in her late 30s. She has no plans to have kids or be in any relationship. She loves her single lifestyle. Annabelle can't help being Bubbly's personality. Annabelle lives in a city, where you hear the police car siren every hour of each day.
Today was Monday Annabelle, goes out of her home to work. She normally works from home the rest of the week. Annabelle takes care of the elderly using her IPod, Smart TVs, and the elderly personal robot with artificial Intelligence. Carl was 82 and lived on the south side of the city. It was the worst part of the city. Carl was a half-black and a half White male. He has the most gorgeous blue eyes You have ever seen. His eyes seem to twinkle when he smiles. Zoe was 60 and lived on the east side of the city. The poorest part of the city. Zoe was half Chinese and half Black woman. She had a wife who died three days ago of Cancer. Luz was 80 without the ability to walk on her own. She lost her ability to move to Multiple Sclerosis and live on the West side of the City, where all the rich, famous, and politicians live. Luz was a hellraiser.
She just loved to tell outrageous stories that, I feel at times are true. Annabelle visited Carl’s, Zoe’s, and Luz’s homes, once a week to give them Human contact.
Monday, 6 am Annabelle woke up and asked her robot if it could bring her the morning coffee. She programmed her robot to be named Richard because she had a crush on an actor named Richard. Sometimes Annabelle preferred to do things herself. Annabelle took her shower and wore the special suit to go out of her house which was made up of special fabric that made you feel comfortable no matter the weather was outside. The fabric adjusts to the environment.
She took her IPod and portable wifi (It's more secure to bring your wifi) with her. Accessing her three clients' home technology. She rode her portal vehicle run by Solar Power.
Annabelle arrived at Carl‘s house at 7:45 am, and there was always someone or a couple of people lying passed out on his steps with a mesoram syringe needle still stuck in their arms. Annabelle just kicked a few of them off the steps to get past them and called the 732 to remove them and take them to their homes.
Everyone had a tattooed body number for personal identification plus their heart-shaped locket. They will be on house arrest until they rehabilitate their bodies but the Drug Lords still have the power to get around the system, sadly enough. In a few months, they will be lying in the streets again. I always call Carl before I enter his home.
Carl was a washed-out lawyer. Carl was also a hoarder. He had lot of books that you cannot move too much around his house. Thank God, his entryway was always free of clutter. Carl’s Robot’s name was Mike. I called out the passcode to take control of Carl’s robot Mike.
I call out to Carl. I asked Mike (AI) where Carl was.
Mike(IR), responded, “ Carl is in his office reading one of his books .” The System of making the Court better”.
As Technology gets better, corruption evolves as well. Carl heard voices and came out of his office.
“Hey, Annabelle, it's good to see you .”
“Hi Carl, please let Mike (AI) clear your books so there is a pathway to move around.” She said to Carl.
Carl always had red eyes from drinking so much, I was surprised if he was up. Carl had Dementia, but he seemed to always recognize me when I came to visit him. Carl told me he had a court case where babies were buried alive because abortion was no longer allowed and people were no longer allowed to have more than two babies. The images that he saw of these cases devastated him. He retired after 10 cases. Our World had become full of Misery. I always check if Carl has all he will need for a week and if he has any doctor’s appointments coming up. Thank God, Doctors are now home service. I said my goodbyes to Carl and head to Zoe’s apartment building.
I arrived in front of Zoe's apartment building, where there were people walking around with backpacks selling all kinds of Drugs like Candy. There was music blasting in all kinds of directions. A man dancing in the Corner with his music blasting loud. You hear gunshots being shot somewhere and police sirens in not so far distance. I quickly enter Zoe’s apartment building.
I arrived at the elevator area where there was a couple physically fighting, I sprayed the couple with special mazed spray to freeze them and called 842 where they will be in relationship /rehab counseling for 6 months, if they have kids they will be with relatives or foster care. No Judge was necessary for cases like this because it was a citizen arrest, and the Camera with sound is all the proof you need to call code 842 and a Robocop from the department of 842 will come pick them up. Everyone’s heart locket has cameras/sound activation code that goes off on its own. It just does not call the robocop because of privacy laws.
I called Zoe before entering her apartment and used my IPod to control Zoe’s Robot, Sam. I do my routine apartment look-around to make sure Zoe will be comfortable and safe. Do my Routine check on Sam (AI). I spoke with Zoe and checked how she is holding up with the loss of her wife. She cried and I gave her a hug to comfort her. This is the Human contact part of the job.
I let her tell me stories and show me pictures on her TV screen. I stayed for over two hours, making sure I got her access to everything she needed. I made an appointment for her Telemental health regarding the loss of her loved one. Sam(AI) had the capability of being a mental health Counselor but most people like to talk to human beings. Zoe told me her next-door neighbor was arrested for selling guns, and one of the city council persons was in it too. I told Zoe never to leave her apartment building without Sam(AI).
Annabelle took her break to the nearest coffee shop. When she entered the coffee shop the Big Screen TV was Blasting the latest news. She orders dark coffee and a turkey sandwich. She sat by the Window, which was sprayed painted with black on the outside but you can see clearly the outside from the inside. The news on TV was blasting about these new drugs on the street causing people to kill people for no reason. Annabelle finished her lunch and left the coffee shop.
Annabelle arrived at Luz's beautiful townhome. Annabelle parked her car in the driveway. Luz always left her door unlocked. Annabelle did not use her IPod. Luz called her robot Cindy (IA). Cindy was always well-maintained. Luz has a lot of money from the company she built and sold a few years ago when her MS got worse. Luz is very good at programming, and her house was the most technologically advanced home, Annabelle has ever been in.
Luz always has some delicious pastries made just for Annabelle. Luz had 8 children and all of them live far away. Luz‘s children hardly ever visit her because they are busy with their own life according to Luz.
Families were not what they used to be. No more getting together. You have to pay a stranger to keep you company. Luz loved to gossip about her neighbor’s son. When Luz talks she does not hold back on the use of cursed words. Luz's favorite curse words are “F “ and “A” and it's hilarious to hear her say them.
Luz likes to tell her that the next-door teenager goes to the inner city to party and have his drugs on and come back at 3 am in the morning, mess up. Annabelle would ask how Luz knew all this. Luz gets woken up easily by the sound of the car doors being shut, and she asked her neighbor why her son was out so late?
Annabelle would laugh at the stories Luz tells her. Luz told Annabelle about her neighbor who just murdered his girlfriend cause he went crazy. She asked Annabelle if she had seen the story on Facetube? Annabelle said she did, and she was surprised this would happen in this kind of neighborhood. It seems so quiet.
”Doom happens everywhere when the brain is not balanced .” Luz said. Annabelle feels Luz has a strange way of looking at things. After listening to Luz talk about her neighbors, Annabelle asked Luz if she would need anything. Annabelle did her routine check before she left Luz's house.
Annabelle would have an eerie feeling about Luz. Luz liked to talk about murder and how some people deserved it. Luz was the only one Annabelle knew who would call their personal robot by their middle name.

This was really cool. Loved how Kitty pieced everything together, and Luz's stories definitely added a fun twist. Great world-building!
Wow. This is amazing. So many layers of complexity. I don’t even know where to begin. It’s cool she still solved murders without technology. So many cool things about this story!
