Lost connections Scarlet Grey

Suicide my a**

Scarlet was having a bad day. First there was that stupid flirt, James, then her friend from England the huberus to ask about her flight after just informing her of the death of international superstar Victoria West. And of course there was that Son of a B***h Cop. Detective Smith.

" whats your name?" Scarlet turned to face the detective that had let her in. She paused, considering her answer " Scarlet Grey" she replied. Detective Watson nodded. "As you can see the victim hung her self from the ceiling fan. We believe that the victim may have been high on heroine." Explained Jennifer solemnly. " she didn't hang herself." remarked Scarlet examining the victims body before continuing " And this wasn't a suicide" "what do you mean" asked Jennifer, genuinely confused "firstly you see the note" she commented picking up the note and showing it to Jennifer "all typed. Who types a suicide note?" " and you see that salad," she pointed to the half eaten salad on the counter " look at this place, completely spotless, if Ms West had finish with her salad then she would've thrown it away, complete neat freak and, if i had to guess a touch of O.C.D, meaning she was knocked unconsioud before finishing." Jennifer looked at Scarlet, considering what she said before turning to closer examine the body. "no sign of blunt force trauma, maybe she was poisoned?" suggested Jennifer. "Maybe." mused Scarlet before starting to pace back and forth across the living room, then she stopped and turned towards the kitchen and marched towards the counter. she stopped in front of the salad, "this salad has it been tested?" she pointed at the half eaten salad. "no. why?" questioned Jennifer. scarlet picked up a piece of lettuce from the salad and put it in her mouth despite Jennifer's protests. before promptly spitting it out. "heroine" she paused before continuing "this salad is laced with heroine. she was poisoned" she then immediately ran to the tap and filled her mouth with water then spitting it out. the she turned and walked towards the crime scene. looking over it again. "the salad had enough heroine to knock her out." she paused and examined the front door "no signs of forced entry meaning the killer probably had a key, or at least a copy, but most likely he had a key". "why do you think he had a key. he could just be a very skilled lock picker" "no he had a key because he new Ms West personally. he new that she always had salad for lunch". she examined the noose. "right handed based on the knot. probably 180 or 6 foot 2 for you americans." jennifer stood there. trying to decide if she was pulling her leg. but she couldn't deny that there was some logic behind what she was saying. Jennifer whipped out her mobile and dialled the precinct. "yo john tell cap that i need her to send a full csi team to my address..... yes i know she called it a suicide but i have evidence its not.... but she'll listen to you.... k thanks bye" then she hung up and smiled at Scarlet. in that moment scarlet decided that maybe just this once. she had met a cop that wasn't a complete retard. as the duo walked back to the police car jennifer smiled and commented jokingly "suicide my a**". and for the first time since moving scarlett smiled
