Bastille - What would you do
"What would you do if your son was at home, crying and alone on the bedroom floor 'cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money"

"Halloween 1952 there was an incident of two nurses being murdered by a man who pretended to be injured, that's how he gained the women's trust.
After the younger one let him into the house, he attacked the other and tied her to a chair, forcing them both to change. After that, one were drowned in the bathtub, the other died of several step wounds and was later found in the living room." Linden spoke as we entered our office
"...a good morning to you too, Sarah." I said rolling my eyes at Holder
"Why'd you say that? We hunting ghosts now?" Holder asked
"It's gonna be exactly 60 years ago in 2 weeks. Some kids will surely come around the house again." Linden mumbled "trying to summon some ghosts with their ouija boards."
"As far as I know that house's in LA so that ain't none of our business, Linden, Darling. Unless you wanna charge these previously mentioned nurses for the murder of our girls, of course." Holder said smiling
"Ha, you two seem to be in a good mood this morning. At least you've got some sleep I suppose...I've been up all night trying to pin something to James' ass but I ain't found no shit. That boy's cleaner than a bottle of window cleaner."
Linden ran her hands through her ginger hair "but I still found something. He bought two tickets to Missouri the other day. I guess he wanted to start over with Melanie."
"...or to murder her." I added staring at Linden
"Well, she got murdered anyway in the end. All we need to find out is by who." Holder drew a moustache to James' photo
"That guy looks like he's got mommy issues." Holder smiled "but he looks a lot better with a moustache, you must admit Davidson."
"Quit playing Holder, we've got work to do. You'll check out Brianna's place again.
And Linden? Would you go asking a few of her friends about her? We must know where she was the night she was murdered, trying to recreate her last 24 hours."
Linden nodded grabbing her jacket "make sure you're checking on the unit you sent over to James."
Me and Linden both headed out of the room when I noticed Holder was missing
"Where's his skinny white ass this time?" Linden asked walking next to me
"I'll go get him, you go to the car." I walked back to the office spotting Holder staring at a photo
"Stephen? We must leave now"
"Come here, Davidson." Holder said reaching out his hand
"What is it?"
"I know I've never told you about her, but. I have a daughter. She's 5 now. You know, first I didn't like the idea of being a father. You know, taking all this responsibility for a child was just overwhelming, I was literally still a child myself when my ex wife got pregnant." He laughed "it happened so fast we wasn't careful, you know the timing was bad for a child. But after I got comfortable with the thought of becoming a father, I couldn't stop buying stuff for the baby, I just wanted to hold it in my arms for the first time. Always protecting it because it was my child. My own flesh and blood. I just wanted to be a good father, but I messed up."
