From Hatred To Harmony<3

another case

"we've been given another case" Nyla sighs dramatically throwing her self on her chair opposite Lucy and shoving the file infront of her.
"Seriously? Why do I feel like they all get past on to us when no one can be bothered to solve it" Lucy replies frowning.

"I agree with you there. It just comes to show that me and you are bad asses though" Nyla winks and Lucy chuckles and shakes her head.
"what's it about?" Lucy asks.
"I haven't read it fully, but from what I do know someone was walking their dog peacefully through Griffen park and their dog smelt something off and dragged him into a forest and started digging, eventually they found three bodies." Nyla informs Lucy and Lucy raises a brow.

"Are we sure this isn't a cover up, the dog walker may be a suspect?" Lucy asks and Nyla shakes her head.
"we've background checked him, questioned him, and it's 100% not him" Nyla states and Lucy nods.
"Do we know who these victims are then?" Lucy asks.
"They are all missing people, three women, one from three months ago, six months ago and nine months ago" Nyla states.

"So who ever this is killing every three months?" Lucy raises her brow and Nyla shrugs
"I mean. That's all we know so far. There could be more bodies" Nyla says.

Lucy flicks through the file and looks at the victim photos.
"wait..hold up" Lucy says and logs into her computer and searches a case she worked on years ago.
"What?" Nyla asks rolling her chair over to Lucy.

"This reminds me of a case I worked on years ago. Rosalind dyer, a famous serial killer who seemed to kill people in similar ways..she didn't get caught for years and she managed to kill way over 50 people before being caught." Lucy says looking at her computer.
"So you thinking this is her mess?" Nyla asks and Lucy shakes her head.

"She's been on death row since being arrested there is absolutely no way it's her." Lucy replies starting to feel lost.
"Maybe it's a protege..like someone who is inspired by her or working for her?" Nyla suggests and Lucy sighs.
"It's a start" she replies.

That's when John and Tim comes walking over.
"Hey boot I see you've been cleared for the shooting. That's great!" Lucy smiles brightly at John.
"Yes ma'am, IA believes that it wasn't my fault and anyone could have taken the shot" John replies with a smile.
"I bet Tim here is happy for you to be back." Lucy smirks and sees Tim roll his eyes.

"I sure hope so." John replies.
"Oh don't get your hopes up boot." Tim snaps.
"Bradford. Is there any reason you're here?" Nyla cuts in and Tim nods.
"Sargent grey and Caradine has told us to inform you the autopsy's are finished, you guys can head down to forensics." Tim tells them.
"Thanks. You seem more your self" Nyla comments.

"yeah." Tim agrees staring at Lucy.
"Okay come on Chen we better get a move on" Nyla says getting up and walking off, Lucy hangs back with Tim.
"Boot go and restock our war bags, I'll be out in a minute" Tim tells John and John nods and walks off.

"How's Oscar ?" Tim asks and Lucy shrugs.
"He's good. As good as an energetic child can be with a broken arm and restrictions" Lucy chuckles.
"Oh dear, the cast comes off in a few weeks I bet he's happy. Anyway is the Lego still in one peice?" Tim asks and Lucy nods.
"He's been rolling it all over the house and mimicking police sirens. I would think I hear enough at them here" Lucy jokes on and Tim just laughs.

"Tim. I've got to ask, last week when you said that Cole was a good man-" Lucy starts and Tim cuts her off
"I better go, boots waiting" he says and walks off.
"Tim-" Lucy shouts and Tim ignores her, she gives up and walks off to forensics.

-
Lucy catches up with Nyla who was already talking to the forensic doctor
"Took your time Chen" she comments.
"Sorry." She replies and Nyla fills her in.

"They all seem to have tattoos with dates and DOD."  She comments showing Lucy.
"What could that mean?" Lucy asks and Nyla shrugs.
"Day of death maybe? I mean they are all three months apart" Nyla says.
"Anything else you can tell us?" Lucy asks the forensic.

"I guess all the victims died by asphyxiation most likely.. as you see with all of them, the petechiae around the face" the doctor replies.
"Strangled?" Nyla asks.
"No I don't think so, there isn't any ligature marks. And all faces have intradermal haemorrhage, as if they were all screaming for hours. Also if you take a look out of two of three victims finger nails, they are all busted." The doctor states.

"As if they have been trying to claw them selves out of something." Nyla states.
"Exactly" the doctor replies.
They take another look at the tattoos.
"Hold up, they are all dates the 8th of the month every three months..this means there may be another death tomorrow." Lucy says and they all pale and look at eachother.

Yall know where this is going, don't hate me X
