Week 5: Investigation

You wake to the heat breaking in the morning. It's actually morning, bright. Sunny. Probably all of you are pleased to have gotten through the night with sleep, or at least with no sudden gunshots and impromptu investigation.

Cherish that brief bliss. Enjoy your morning routine, as long as it's in the motel. Once you leave the motel, you see, it's obvious something awful's happened again. Someone has taken the Sergeant's bait.

Because, right outside the very door of the building you sleep in, there's a broken body to greet you.

[...Well both of those things suck, but she can see everyone else is spreading their search outwards... so fine, damn it. She will be responsible and go up there.]

[cartesio]

[ The Sergeant turns as Niwa arrives. He's probably not what draws her attention, though, not when there's a gruesome sight before her.

Laying on the roof is a heavily beaten body, so much so that there's no doubt of it's status. Utterly still and covered in bruises, she's never to move again, nor offer her placating smile to anyone.

Cian Reikado is dead. ]

[odasaku]

[ slowly, he follows behind niwa and keith as they go towards the roof. and even if the sight of cian knocks the wind out of him, he has no more tear or screams left in him; only a gaping emptiness in his chest.

he stares at the sergeant again, pointing the gun at him. ]

Did you kill her?

[cartesio]

No. I'm not responsible for any of this.

[The announcement follows not too long afterwards]

[marmoron]

[DO YOU THINK HE WON'T CHASE YOU DOWN THE ROOF --

Okay, he won't, But he sure as hell will be looking over the edge of the roof to see what the guy thinks he's doing??]

He's gone. He's --

[Fucking hell....]

[marmoron]

[And here comes Keith with the space wolf busting through the door, sword in hand and ready for... for something. That something is not this necessarily.]

Cian!

[Grip tightening on the sword, he's looking directly at the Sergeant--]

Did you do this to her?!

[FUCK YOU, YOU[RE ON PERMANENT NOTICE, ASSHOLE??]

[cartesio]

[It seems he didn't, Keith!]

[pecker]

[She expected to see Cian up there, of course. Her eyes in the sky are sharp. She just didn't trust Sarge alone with the body, and... well, as you can see, someone needed to be the voice of reason.]

What are you standing around here for...?
