My mind was not focused today. I sat in my office, leaning back into my office chair facing away from my desk, the door closed, and my blinds shut. A female had been found this morning in what looks like the same mysterious cause of death as the male victims from the past couple of months. My department wasnt quite sure yet but it seems like the situation was declining further. I should be attending to this, but I couldn't place my thoughts on my work. My brain kept replying the events of last night. Feorie. I don't know what it is about her that I couldn't quite shake. No other woman had the power to make me drop everything like she did. I constantly found myself fleeing my office to meet her wherever she stated she was when I called. She never called me and that should hurt my pride and make me rebuff her but, yet I was constantly chasing her like a puppy needing attention and affection.

Feorie wasn't like any woman. Period. There was something peculiar about her, but I couldn't put my finger on it no matter how hard I tried. She was like my kryptonite; her smile was like a spell that permeated my skull and left me weak and powerless. I always thought of her as a goddess, she seems fierce and intensely beautiful but last night she showed me a side of her I didn't expect. I got the sense that she likes to have the upper hand with men, or anyone, yet somehow last night she had given herself to me and it aroused something in me that had laid dormant for so long. I could still hear the melody of her sweet moans in my ear, feel the way her body shook under me, taste the delicious flavor that was unique to her. I had tried to contain myself fully but she brought out the animal in me, almost making me do something I had never done with anyone before. A knock on my office door pulled me out of my haze and I sat up straight swiveling my chair around to face one of my subordinates, Timothy.

"Hey Boss, you got a minute?" He asked peaking his head in.

"Yeah I do actually, come in" I gestured for him to have a seat.

Timothy walked in and got comfortable before setting down a manila folder in front of me, "This came back from the coroner just now".

I was surprised, "Already? Damn that was quick. Is this from the victim found this morning?"

Timothy shook his head, "No. They're still working on that, but this is from that other victim. He was found in his apartment next to the club you said you liked to go to".

"Oh yeah him, 33, 5'10, tribal tattoos" I said opening the file and scanning the documents quickly.

"That's the guy" Timothy confirmed, "Coroner says that his death matches the others perfectly. Somehow all the victims died instantaneously of multi organ system failure without any trace of previous health concerns and no traces of poisons or any other toxins found in the body system. Coroner says that the victims died within seconds to minutes of the mysterious organ failure onset".

"How is that even possible?" I asked more to myself than Timothy, "The killer has to be using something that's triggering this kind of response by the body".

Timothy nodded his head, "I don't know what it is but were dealing with someone smart, careful and very professional".

"Some of the guys think it's a woman" I said looking at him to gage his reaction.

Timothy looked thoughtful and was quiet for a few seconds before responding, "Well, the victims were all male, found naked, on their backs indicating a post sexual encounter so it could be a female, but it could also still be a man doing this. Not everyone is heterosexual out here, Chief".

"That's what I have said as well. Tell the coroner to call me directly with the findings from the female victim from this morning. I'm wondering if she died the same way" I told Timothy handing him the files back.
