Grace's POV
There was a new drug on the streets. It was called Viper, and the death toll because of it was rising by the minute. When people took it, they would have a huge amount of strength and agility. Then, a while later, they would be dead. Next to every corpse, for some odd reason, there would be a container of milk or some other dairy product. Harvey Bullock, Jim Gordon, and I were all in the Commissioner's office discussing this drug and why it is so popular.
We heard a woman screaming in the background but we thought nothing of it. Afterall, we are in a police station, and she was probably being escorted to a holding cell. Edward was standing outside of the office looking down at all of the cops working, and the woman struggling, along with a few other people. He started to walk in, and we all looked at him.
We asked him about Viper and what it does. "It's really quite remarkable. Viper, somehow, activates unused DNA. The body starts to burn calcium from the skeletal system as fuel, hence the victim's cravings for milk and cheese." Jim looked a bit more interested in this, and Harvey looked bored as per usual.
"They are desperately trying to replace the missing calcium, but they can't consume enough. Essentially, their bones crumble, then they suffocate and die." My expression changed to disgust. Imagine feeling each of your bones crumble amongst themselves, it just makes me shiver. "Have you seen anything like this before?" Jim said in his usual deep and raspy voice. "No, nobody has, totally new. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be-" His sentence was cut off by Sarah, he looked over at me with an emotionless face. "No new reports for a few hours now, maybe they are done, maybe they ran out of this stuff." I thought it would be highly unlikely.
"I doubt it," said Jim. "Who would put this on the street, why?" Sarah questioned. "They're not even selling it, they're giving it away!" Harvey finally spoke up. "That's how you create demand." I decided to speak up. "For a drug that kills you that fast?" Jim looked at me with an understanding glare. "First it makes you king of the world, there will be takers."
This drug was more powerful than anything the GCPD had ever scene, how would we deal with this?
