Chapter 2 : Straight To The Heart

The phone rang all of a sudden, scaring the hell out of them four.

Fetcher broke the awkward atmosphere and walked toward the desk, "LAPD, this is Detective Valentine Fetcher....yeah...okay...sure...no problem."  He hung up the phone, "Guys, there's a body in the Eastwoods.  We'll talk about this later.  Let's go!"

"We can't talk about this later!  This is important!" 

Fetcher shot Ethan a death glare, "I know you're a technician.  I'm inviting you to come to the crime scene.  You can drop the chance."

Ethan grumbled, walked to pick up the spoon, and tugged it in his pocket.

The didn't talk on the way to Eastwoods in Fetcher's SUV.  The woods was dead.  There was no sound of birds or animals.  Some police were already there.

"Donnter, Eastoft, you're already here!" Fetcher walked over, "What can you guys tell me?"

Donnter saw them and stood up, "Straight to the heart.  Robin Hood is back."

Fetcher took over the evidence bag from Bill, a CSI.  Bill Tyler was a nice, detailed investigator.  He and his partner Lionel Hopkins were called as the perfect match.

"An arrow?" Jane stuck her gloves into her pocket, "Victim's name is Friday Jones.  And yes this is his real name."  She took a look at her little notebook, "I had someone in the station to check out for me.  Jones was a big trouble.  He never killed, but he stole, stole, and stole."

Fetcher squatted down next to the body, "Hi, Doc!  Are there any defensive wounds?"

Doctor shook his head, "It's a long distance.  He might not even know someone was trying to kill him.  After I finish the autopsy, I'll let you know more."

"There's a track here.  I think it's victim's." Garrett said, following the trampled track, "And it stopped here."

"Well...?" Ethan stared at him.

"Well what?"

"You're a demon.  Show some magic!  Where does it lead to?"

Garrett rolled his eyes, "Yes, I am a demon, but I'm not a wizard!"

"Yeah, you do bad things."

"Guys!" Chase called pleadingly. 

They ignored her.

"Ah...tell me honestly, White, have you ever used your power to remove any evidence?   Or even killed?  Shame on you that you still have the guts to stay in law enforcement!"

"Ethan!"

Before Chase could say anything more, Garrett whipped his hand and Ethan was pined onto the tree bark.

"Garrett!" Chase felt tired being torn between two guys.

"I'm not an outlaw!"

"Quit it, Garrett!  I believe that you wouldn't hurt anyone.  Don't make me stop believing in you!" Chase felt as if she was babysitting some rebellious teenagers.  

Upon hearing this, Garrett dropped his hand.

Ethan fell onto the ground, panting and glaring at Garrett. "You did that again and I'll exorcise you myself."

Back to the station, Art sent us a copy of all the information he found on the victim.

"Talk!" Fetcher demanded.
