"Rian!" Charlotte yelled, walking into the bullpen. All three members of her team were just currently sat at their desks, doing not much by the looks of things. 
"Yes, boss?" Rian answered, turning his chair around to look at her, smiling. 
"Where are we with this case?" Rian stood up, grabbed the remote to the pen's TV and turned it on. "Victim's Maria Dune, 25 years old. She worked for the Statue of Secrecy," he started. Charlotte nodded. Rick picked up. 
"Single, deceased parents, one brother. He's waiting in the confrence room. Dune had been working in that department for around seven years now." 
"Anything else?" 
"She's partway through autopsy."
"Brilliant. Amina, with me," Charlotte ordered, signalling the other girl to follow her. 

"Hello, Mark. I'm Agent Malfoy and this is Officer Sakhi. We'd just like to ask you a few questions about your sister," Charlotte introduced. She and Amina sat down either side of the brother. 
"Do you know what happened yet?" the brother, Mark, asked. He had red-rimmed eyes and he was shaking. Charlotte pushed down her emotions. 
"They're performing an autopsy right now," Charlotte informed him. "Did anyone really hate her?" 
"No, no. At least, I don't think so. She was such a lovely person, you just couldn't," the brother told them. 
"What about exes?" Charlotte tried. 
"She only ever had one girlfriend," Mark told them. "Um, I can write the name down if you'd like." 
"That'd be great. Thank you, Mark," Charlotte said. 
"Is there anything else I can do?" he asked. Charlotte shook her head. 
"Not right now, but if you'd like, we'll inform you of the autopsy results straight away."
"Thank you." 

"Hey, Sander," Charlotte called, walking into Autopsy. Gabriel Sander was a sixty-year-old man who completely denied to have an assistant. Everyone called him Sander.
"Charlotte!" he exclaimed. Somehow, he was the only one allowed to call her that. "Just on time. Come on over." The team leader walked over to the metal table, which featured Maria Dune cut open on it. "My initial diagnosis of manual strangulation was correct. There was no magic used here. I've sent Lily some samples of DNA from the neck, but it's likely the killer was wearing gloves," Gabriel explained. 
"Anything else?" 
"Um, yes. Ms Dune was definitely tortured, or at least in a fight, before her death. I collected some samples from under her nails, but her stomach was bruised and her arms and legs are scattered with cuts and bruises as well." 
"Thanks, Sander," Charlotte called, though she was already on her way out. 

"Lily!" Charlotte shouted over the music. Although Lily's fashion sense was very hippie-ish, her music taste was more along the lines of emo. 
"Sorry, Malfoy! Or should I start calling you Weasley? Yeah, I'm going to do that," Lily said, rushing her words out. "Anyway, look what I found! So, Sander gave me all sorts of samples, as you know, and Amina sent me an email with the ex's name in it. Yay for gays! Anyway, when I scanned the samples from under the nails, guess who I found?" 
"The ex?" Lily nodded. "Thanks, Lils." 
"Welcome!" Lily shouted, though Charlotte was already practically gone. 

"The ex-girlfriend. Go," Charlotte said, walking into the bullpen. All three members of her team joined her in front of the TV. 
"Um, Alisha Swann. 26. Also works in Secrecy. They dated for about a year before breaking up," Nott told her. 
"Swann lost her wand last week and filed a complaint. If she was killed without a wand..." Rian trailed off. 
"Address?" Charlotte requested. Nott handed her a small piece of paper. "Brilliant. Rian, you're with me."
