The Snow Globe (Criminal Justice Short Story)

It's the Holiday season, but that doesn't mean Crime's taking time to celebrate, much like Detective Ace Yedgerson and his partner Zanie Sharper. Cases appear to be loaded and waiting in their cue but hold no candle to the one that shows up in their own apartment.
When thirteen-year-old Lucas takes a brazen approach to get their attention to solve the disappearance of his sister more than five years ago-Ace, and Zanie find it particularly hard to say no-especially when a simple snow globe appears to hold more information about the case than the victim herself, will they be able to discover the truth of the sister and bring a present home for the holidays, or will they have to hope for a Christmas miracle?
