The Scent of Betrayal

Chapter 15 (child death)

On the way to the Smiths family home there was an uneasy feeling, a body had been found. Jason had many questions, who's body? where? and most importantly, why?

He wondered if it ws one of th chidrens bodies, that perhaps one of the Smiths children couldnt cope with the fact that David had murdered his parents. He knew if he had any siblings and he found out that they killed his parents he would be devastated. This house was already stranded with the memory of the double homicide, what next?

Morton walked into the home and found he hustle of people just buzzing around doing their job. It sounded like a beehive in the house with all the people that had been running around. People that he had seen before and people he had never. This wasn't a good sign when people that Jason didnt know where at the crime scene. No one acknowledged Morton when he walked into the home, he may as well have been a ghost. He regretted not taking five mintues to have a smoke before walking in, he thought about walking out the door and having one before returning.

"Morton, they wont let me near the body!" Rob chimed in ruining his plan, "They said I dont have access to the body!" He is pissed "Tell em to Fuck off"

"Rob, calm down. I will go and see what is going on, stay there."

"Sort it out, this is my crime scene. They are destroying it!"

Jason walks up the stairs looking for a face he knew in the many people that were swarming the ladders going into the attic. Scanning the faces non of these people work with Morton, he noticed the badge of one of the little worker bees "COLD CASE UNIT." he knew this wasnt good, but he knew that whoever it was had been there for a while, you dont ring the CCU unless the body is in a system somewhere and it was old.

"Here" Jason says to a man walking past him "What is going on here, I was told there is a body?"

The man looked uncomfortable, "I cant tell you anything sorry." The man tried to walk away from Jason.

"I think you can I'm the leading officer on this case" Jason grabbed his arm. He pulled out his police ID badge. "Now tell me what is going on here."

The man who Jason didnt bother listening to the name of told Jason how sorry he was that he didnt know, the usual shit. He then explained a nearly skenintonised body of a woman had been discovered in the attic of the home. They were working on trying to get the body out safely and being able to preserve the body. Before the man had even finished Jason walked away and climbed the ladder to the attic.

"Unless you are my patholigist i want you out of this attic. You are all currently ruining the scene of a crime. Get out." Jason said amerging into the top floor of this house, one no one knew they even had. He was flabergasted at the sight of the 'attic' it had been converted into a flat.

"Sorry who are-" A woman in some sort of beekeeper get up asked, before she could even finish Morton pushed his ID into her face. That seemed to silence her, he repeated himself and the woman in the keepers costume told everyone to leave, she stayed.

"Get me Rob Sheppard here now!" Jason shouted after the sea of people, "I don't know who you are but there should not have been this many people in my crime scene. Do you know how much damage you could have done?!" He states angerily putting his gloves on.

"This is no longer just your case, we think this might be Hannah Blair. The missing-"

"I am fully aware who she is. But you dont know that, and this is still my case." He spat. Their faces almost inches from each other, the tenison in the air. The anger building between them neither of them backing down. Robs balding head appeared in the hatch way.

"Holy shit! Its like a little flat, who made this shit?" Rob said making his resent known, the woman took a step back, Jason knew he had won that arugment.
