"where's Rori?" Sinclair said as he walked into the office holding a pile of files "she requested all of the missing children files so we can find out who's on the table in the lab downstairs"
"actually I'm not sure" Aaron responded finally having caused some rest in his own team who had gone mental tasting all of the coffee flavours the machine had to offer like children at a make your own slushie machine "she went to find Samoya downstairs apparently thats where you keep the bone saws - which is pretty weird I must say - but that was about two hours ago" Aaron noted the look of shock that passed over Sinclair's face before he managed to steel his expression once again causing a nagging feeling of worry to burrow into his chest
"fuck" Sinclair said dropping all five files on the table beside him "you've not seen either of them since? It definitely doesn't take that long to get a bone saw from the storage cupboard" his eyes were frantic as he looked about the room, trying to find any answer for where the doctors may have been
"hey hey what's got you all flustered big guy?" Temperance asked as she walked down the stairs with Taylor to where Sinclair stood, panic set in his eyes "you look like you're about to have a heart attack Sinclair, sit down" she softly stroked his bicep, something she always saw Aurora doing to calm him down
"Sam and Aurora have been gone for an hour" Aaron explained, stressing even more when Temperance and Taylor visibly tensed
"good god, it's always those two running off to solve the case without us" Taylor joked with a forced eyeroll and a fake chuckle before noticing the serious look on Aaron's face "not a joking time I take it?"
"they've supposedly been in the storage cupboard for two hours" Sinclair said, his voice sounding defeated and detached which was harrowingly different to the cool and calm usual voice that had the mandate to send chills down the spine
"okay so we go downstairs and try to look for them" Temperance said coolly - her voice not showing the way Sinclair and Taylor knew she was really feeling based on the way her fingers played with the hem of her shirt and her teeth burrowed into her bottom lip. She was the only one on the Angelle unit who hadn't learned to control their tells - a trait Aurora found sweet and endearing
when they reached the parking basement it was quiet - quiet enough to hear the fans at the back of the structure all the way at the front "we would have heard them if they were here" Taylor said quietly to allow Sinclair and Temperance to continue listening walking further and further into the garage slowly and quietly the way a group of teenagers would in a horror movie, with visible stress and strain etched into their faces
"Sinclair" Temperance hissed , her volume also equally as quiet as Taylor's as they reached the nearest wall. They all halted looking to where Temperance had completely stopped - dead in her tracks "there's blood on my shoes ... lots of blood"
Sinclair's face paled as he looked to the pool of blood on the floor which almost seemed too much to have came out of a body that was still living "we need to take a sample" he said, his voice shaky "run it for tests - we don't know it's definitely one of theirs" he didn't date to look back to Temperance, let alone Taylor for fear the sight of their faces would mirror the thoughts knocking around in his head
"and who is going to test it?" Temperance choked out - her body becoming more frantic as she still stood frozen in the puddle "we don't have sciency people on our team without them"
"I guess this warrants bringing in the interns?" Taylor interjected, wringing his sweaty palms in attempt to busy himself. Taylor had been there the first time Aurora went missing on a case, he was also there when they found her hanging from a hook by handcuffs in only her underwear with blood all over her. The vision still haunted him - he couldn't stand the thought of finding her like that again
