Angie lowered her microphone just right after her cameraman gave her the signal that they were off-air. A smile had appeared on her face, something that she couldn't have done being live, it would have looked... Unprofessional if she appeared smiling whilst reporting a murder case. But now she couldn't help it, all these stories were getting better and better and the police was just giving her something more to talk about. She looked around, people were starting to disperse and more police officers were arriving to the scene. They had broadcasted live at the correct time. Instinctively, she searched with her gaze those two walking jokes that called themselves "Journalists" and she found them already talking to some people. Well, they could do all the research they wanted; they still would have to spend hours writing their articles while she was going to transmit the fresh information and interviews tonight. Advantages of working in a modern media.

Angie spotted her first target and she motioned her cameraman to follow her. She approached Detective Black, who was absently looking around the scene.

Can you give us a moment to answer a few questions?" Once his eyes were on her, she didn't wait for him to give her an answer before she began to question him. "Any clue about the identity of the new victim? Is there a particular reason of why the Forensics hasn't arrived yet? Or why the scene hasn't been taped yet?" Then she put the microphone closer to him, this time giving him time to properly respond.

Come on, hun. Give me something.
