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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V2Qjl1Cdf
"Rude!"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sYocxk1vm
"You know the morons can't help it." He chuckles getting the door. "Now come on."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5BsvSwkpS
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWUpDFYWNR
"Hey Flora, Ian's in, right?" he asks.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfL9fBkAY
"He's waiting in his office for you and Miss Bell." She nods, stapling a stack of papers.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCShwdQMnr6
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5YpvtzKUC
"It's not locked," the police chief calls from inside.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc1DFQjiY2
Gregory opens the door and Kendall follows him in.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmTYd5Ug0r
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoou8nBplC
"What did Greg do this time, Chief?" Kendall sighs.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmHSWHqIna
Ian laughs, a deep baritone. "For once, not a thing."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTjPEvf7Gg
"Told you so." He smirks, crossing his arms behind his head. "So what do you need, Ian?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pl8yuqOL4
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWAuPVW6h
"Make up your mind, ol' chap. First you want us to sit, now to walk?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybMYmnf5a
"You want the case or not, Harris?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7aQPToPkY
"He wants the case, sir." Kendall sighs, getting up.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuoK1mxjh8
The chief nods and walks out. "You have heard about the riverside murders?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21oNFKnQ5
"I've heard of a lot of murders, Ian, you're going to have to narrow that down."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVPePT4dR
"The ones coming in from the Thames."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoDZ1PpWDu
"Ah yes, I have heard a thing or two about that one."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevjpt4sjhR
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lWni11zY8
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIVtHpFavQ
Kendall looks towards Gregory. "A fourth this morning? The criminal must be speeding up."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2sfoxOoUu
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57fvdzacjd
"Maybe Daan or Amber will have more details..."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eo27g35et
"Probably."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTQe0eCuAX
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3uMahGf6v
"DR. DYE?" Gregory shouts. "HELLO?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluFsxw8yK5
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvwnliiZV9
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZDqUaUSTY
"The chief said he'd be down here soon, too," Kendall says.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZkEUq1XY9
"I'm sure he will be eventually, but let's go ahead and get started, ja?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmr5qpXQqw
Amber taps his shoulder. "I'll finish up that homicide autopsy while you show them our friends."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzDX4dMZDJ
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopVj1OLi7q
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWUuGWQveQ
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif1ZWscBGb
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iATJ904Ka
Gregory looks them over as Kendall pulls out her notepad and pen. "Care to tell us about the victims?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nqh9WgWOC
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNw4JbrwEv
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77KgCW0b1W
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nV69bWUf
"Not yet, Kendall. I might need notes from when McIntosh gets his arse down here."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx2TX4Scte
"Why do you need me to take notes? You have the better handwriting and always complain you can't read mine," she huffs.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAdLfhYq3A
Greg smirks with a half nod. "True, but I don't feel like taking them myself."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWFSGOoNyU
Kendall rolls her eyes and mumbles, "I'm not your secretary," as she takes out the pen once again.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcNvHp3NWx
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.
