The police car stops in front of the two large glass doors of the New Scotland Yard. Gregory and Kendall exit the car and the two inspectors drive off nearly immediately. Kendal quickly jumps back with a scowl to avoid being splashed by kicked up mud.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAUlwZpkc
"Rude!"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPLZGA1xl
"You know the morons can't help it." He chuckles getting the door. "Now come on."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSc6floqgn
Kendall walks in, barely ducking under his arm. Like usual, the Met was crowded and busy. She follows as Gregory walks up to the receptionist.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO7WsNjWPo
"Hey Flora, Ian's in, right?" he asks.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGmIbawrNb
"He's waiting in his office for you and Miss Bell." She nods, stapling a stack of papers.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNI8bqZgmP
"Alright, thanks." He nods, tapping the counter as he steps away. Kendall walks quickly to keep up. They turn and walk down a long hallway of offices before Greg stops and knocks on one.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXvGoQ1V9
"It's not locked," the police chief calls from inside.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuYBO0lNVR
Gregory opens the door and Kendall follows him in.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJbAdAiZg0
"Go ahead and take a seat. This isn't going to be one of those talk and run conversations," he says, turning from his computer.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJWCkCW4aD
"What did Greg do this time, Chief?" Kendall sighs.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjZy8iflBe
Ian laughs, a deep baritone. "For once, not a thing."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckMRPOOYJy
"Told you so." He smirks, crossing his arms behind his head. "So what do you need, Ian?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BPd6uYFFW
Ian glances at his computer monitor before he stands from his desk. He is a sturdy, burly shaped man with short salt and pepper black hair. Tall, but still not as tall as Gregory. He gets the door. "I have a case for you, however let's walk and talk."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2brOSWBcNl
"Make up your mind, ol' chap. First you want us to sit, now to walk?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2M63cCGQ1
"You want the case or not, Harris?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF3EaQy7jz
"He wants the case, sir." Kendall sighs, getting up.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOb0q3Agww
The chief nods and walks out. "You have heard about the riverside murders?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYLP03veBY
"I've heard of a lot of murders, Ian, you're going to have to narrow that down."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i7jrqWSXI
"The ones coming in from the Thames."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C0xeRMlKa
"Ah yes, I have heard a thing or two about that one."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DTDwVBkFw
Ian nods, and stands in front of the lift. "Fourth body was found early this morning right after the papers about the third went out." He pushes button. "I'll let the Dyes explain the way they were murdered. I'll meet you down there shortly, I need to find someone else first."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlCiRZvG61
The lift opens with a ding and Kendall and Gregory step on. "We'll see you then, Ian." The door closes as the police chief walks away.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWB1gcjWjx
Kendall looks towards Gregory. "A fourth this morning? The criminal must be speeding up."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYi8yEMryz
Greg nods slowly, looking at the lift door in thought. "I'm sure there is a further connection besides they each being dumped in the river. Setting only tells a part of the story, Kendall. But wherever they're being killed, it must be near the Thames."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP780oWScR
"Maybe Daan or Amber will have more details..."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeEorFcFCB
"Probably."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWohchU11C6
The lift opens with a ding and the two are met by a wall of blaring Eurodance music. Kendall covers her ears against the loudness as they step into the morgue.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDsaxfwAT6
"DR. DYE?" Gregory shouts. "HELLO?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ux47XlQqg
The music stops abruptly and the two doctors look sheepishly around the corner. "Ah! Mr. Harris and Ms. Bell, McIntosh sent you down, ja?" Dr. Amber Dye chuckles. She's a slender woman with long blonde hair held back with an orange bow as bright as her personality and bright blue eyes. "You'll have to excuse the music, Daan's singing could raise the dead, you have to blare it to drown him out."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5fdw8PUSI
"Hoi!" Dr. Daan Dye frowns. He's also slender built with short blond hair with dark rimmed glasses framing his blue eyes. "I wouldn't say it would be too bad if it were though." He then grins.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlTL2zTvMg
"The chief said he'd be down here soon, too," Kendall says.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NWyJAYIQ2
"I'm sure he will be eventually, but let's go ahead and get started, ja?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVkGLpqxkU
Amber taps his shoulder. "I'll finish up that homicide autopsy while you show them our friends."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYd2MTjm1w
"Still think it's going to turn out as a suicide, Amber, but you do that. I enjoy my steak cooked medium when you see I'm right."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnIkd1ZyG
"And I want lobster when you see that I am right after all. Now shoo! Show them the bodies, Liefje!" Amber swats at him before walking back to the other end of the room.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCDZ4PoLZl
Daan rolls his eyes before walking over to the wall of drawers. He unhooks a clipboard from the first drawer handle and flips back a few pages on it. "Okay let's see....Four." He pulls out that slab and moves to the next. "Six....seven....and ten."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83fPZHhAE1
On the metals slabs there are three men and one woman. Just looking at the surface, there is nothing very similar about the four to each other. One man is broad and fat and old, another is a black man of average height and build. The third man has a deep tan but bright red hair and freckles. The woman herself has a buzz cut and a long flower tattoo along her neck and arm.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJT0tew0Zt
Gregory looks them over as Kendall pulls out her notepad and pen. "Care to tell us about the victims?"283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzv4PodH0U
Daan pushes his glasses up. "They each were fairly simple murders." He gestures to the old man. "Theodore Harrelson, age sixty-eight. His throat was slit as you can see here." He points to it with a gloved hand. "And there's evidence that he was smothered while he was bleeding out." He moves to the black man. "Fletcher Vance, age thirty-three. His blood showed signs of being heavily intoxicated at the time of death, but there were also high traces of arsenic.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrtSVr42pa
"Victim three, Karl Moore, age twenty-one and an American. He also had his throat slit and another stab wound on his abdomen. Lastly, Janice Laurel, age forty. Blunt force trauma to her skull. The kind of imprint it left could have either been a club or perhaps the leg of a chair. She was this morning's new victim."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA45SWn1aQ
Kendall nods as she takes notes. "Alright then, I'll grab Rufford and see if we can find out some more on their backgrounds." She clicks the pen closed and starts to walk away, but Gregory grabs her shoulder before she gets far.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6GKxJ8CQE
"Not yet, Kendall. I might need notes from when McIntosh gets his arse down here."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtxxjo4LRJ
"Why do you need me to take notes? You have the better handwriting and always complain you can't read mine," she huffs.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWS737chOP
Greg smirks with a half nod. "True, but I don't feel like taking them myself."283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYkf7evDtG
Kendall rolls her eyes and mumbles, "I'm not your secretary," as she takes out the pen once again.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq17EM7Qfq
Daan clears his throat, gesturing towards the other side of the room. "Feel free to wait for the chief anywhere you want. I'm going to see how Amber's autopsy is proceeding." He then walks away.
