JUST A CORPSE

Chapter 1

2 A.M

The body was called in at 2 AM. Upon arriving at the scene, Detective Quinn  and Detective Hernandez, were spoken to by a pedestrian that happened to come across the body and called it in. They got nothing from them. All they saw was the body, laying on the floor, lifeless. Within those minutes Detective O'Hara and Taylor had arrived and set up a perimeter

Detective Harper Quinn's POV

"Who ever did this played smart, and left us nothing, except for the body."

"Yeah it's going to be merely impossible to find our murder by ourselves, call it in Quinn." Detective Hernandez stated

"What if it wasn't murder?" O'Hara questioned

"Suicide? Not a possibility. There is a clear stab wound, and no knife. I'll call it in"

"Dispatch can you get forensics to my location, we have a body that needs to be process." *Copy that sending Forensics now*

*10 minutes later*

"Detectives! I am Forensic Investigatior Nadina Atwal and this is Veronica Mers. We have more of my team on the way. Now what do we have here "

"Pleasure. Harper Quinn and my partner Maria Hernandez. We were called in at 2, and surveyed the area and got a witness report. Nothing that we've seen and what the witness had to say screams anything"

"Not a single piece of evidence was left behind which makes it even more difficult to ID our suspect. This is were you guys come in." Added Hernandez

"Alright we will start by ID'ing the body and then we will go from there"

"Ok. I think Detective Quinn and I are going to survey the neighborhood to see if anything or anyone captivates us, and if you need any assistance Detective O'Hara and Taylor are available."

"Alright. Thank you."

Detective Maria Hernandez's POV

"Nothing in this neighborhood is screaming anything, and I don't see any traces of blood," I say

We end up driving around the neighborhood for a good few minutes to see if in that time frame, if anything changes. However this neighborhood did look to close to home until we turn down to a road which is oddly familiar

"Hey Quinn, did you happen to see that road this is?"

"Erm, yeah. It's Southgate Road."

"Southgate Road! Stop off at number 10, please. That's my place I want to make sure everyone is fine!" I panic

Quinn agreed to stop by my place to see if everyone was alright.

As I open the door to my house I was greeted with my son, Mattias.

"Hey, I thought you were on the night shift?!" Mattias said confused

"I am, there was a body found in an alleyway in the neighborhood, figured I'd stop by and check if everything was alright"

"We're fine. I had my girlfriend over earlier, told her to text me once she gets home but she never did. Figured she forgot and just went to bed."

Everyone was asleep accept for Mattias. Gathered that it was a Friday night, it was fine. I did a sweep of the house to check if anything was out of sorts. It was about 2:45. I quickly opened the back door and immediately noticed the flashing lights. It had just clocked me the body  was at the alleyway behind the house. I end up finishing up at that point and said my goodbye to my son, and walk out of the door

"We've ID'd the body to being Aliza Gerald" I over hear on the radio, as I lock the door

"Did they just say Aliza Gerald?" I questioned

Quinn nodded

"Shit! That's Mattias' girlfriend!"
