BONES AU - PART THREE "The Cannibal in Question"

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

On the Platformvat the lab, Kirstie and Max explained their findings to Kevin.

"The marks on the mandible definitely indicate that the bones have been gnawed on." Kirstie said.

"Buth, not with teeth." Max added.

"The markings were made by someone wearing dentures."

Kevin snorted. "Well, a toothless cannibal just can't cut it in today's competitive serial killer climate. How do you know he wore dentures?"

Max perked up. "Kirthtie found traces of polymethylmethacrylate monomer tetrasalisic floramicha on the mandible."

Kevin raised an eyebrow. "Imma go out on a limb here and guess that's what dentures are made out of?"

"But not normal commercial dentures you get from the dentist. Main ingrediant is polymethyl methacrylic. These dentures were homemade." Kirstie stated.

Kevin picked up his phone and dialed Joe, who was still in the bathtub.

"I got our victims DNA results back." Kevin said as soon as he answered.

"The lobbyist?" Joe asked.

"Yup. Gormogon's last victim."

"I was wondering when some part of him would show up."

Kevin was silent for a moment as he heard the water draining. "What's that sucking sound?"

"Not important. Good bye." Joe hung up.

Kirstie spoke as Kevin put his phone away. "Regarding the denture medium, if we recreate the process-"

Max butt in. "Could tell us a lot about Gormogon's resources..."

Kevin raised an eyebrow. "If you wanna do one of your experiments, just say it."

Kirstie and Max spoke in unision. "We wanna do one of our experiments."

Kevin half smiled. "Alright, alright, go! Go make your plastic cannibal dentures!" He said as they ran off.

Malo, Scott and Joe stood in the vault together in front of the skeleton.

"You should place the jawbone in the skeleton." Malo stated.

Scott lifted a corner of his upper lip. "Why?"

"Cause it keeps alive an interactive relationship with the killer. That's why he provided the screws. You know, we give him something, he reciprocates. Did you see me on TV? No one has mentioned that I was on TV."

Joe rolled his eyes. "Alright, look. How would he know if we added the jawbone to the skeleton?"

"Well, it's his obsession. He has some way of finding out, which is another reason to do it... Okay. Both of you are purposely not mentioning my appearance." Malo crossed his arms.

"Well, for all we know, Gormogon is dead and we're not on the list of people who get to find that out." Scott said as he went up the stairs.
