Synopsis: 

Valkyrie finds something unusual

Chapter 2: Unease

After the cold came the unease, a trickling tickling scraping unease. 

Glancing around her room, a pile of dull sequins melted in a puddle on her floor. She picks it up. 

A strappy dress. A strappy sequin dress. Valkyrie Cain would never wear anything like this-- a dress. 

But what was it doing in her room? In her size? She looked at the spot again. By her open window, a damp shirt. Too unfamiliar, too big to be hers. 

A mix of fatigue and the disappointment of an their unsolved case took hold of Valkyrie and she chucked the dress back into its pool of dull sequins, drowning the damp shirt. She didn't care right now. All she wanted, all she desired, was sleep.

Decidedly tired, falling face first, the detective landed back into a blank slumber.
