Chapter 3: Supernatural Stuff

"What you got for us Ella?" Chloe asked as she put on her gloves. She was wearing sunglasses and her face seemed pale. Ella didn't need to do much thinking about that.

"Meet Harry Wayne, a 27-year old engineer who I...got a whole lot of nada from." Ella frowned as she scanned the entire body.

"No DNA or anything? Do we at least know the cause of death?" Chloe asked as she examined the body.

"That's just it, I can't find any! This guy was just walking along the street and BAM dead on the ground just like that! This is some freaky stuff," Ella replied.

She was normally very good at looking for clues, the smallest hair, the littlest scrap of clothes, anything! But this dude had nothing on him!

"What do you mean?" Dan asked confused, "I mean there's got to be a reason this man died." "Poisoning or heart attack maybe?" Chloe suggested as she examined the body closer but she also couldn't seem to find anything remotely suspicious about the body.

"I thought that too but there are no signs of any of those anywhere! We'll need to wait for an autopsy if we want to find out how this poor guy died," Ella replied. Nothing at all, this was very strange.

"Well then, I'll go talk to the witnesses, see if they can tell us anything," Chloe said as she turned around to leave.

"Okay, hey um Chlo," Ella called out. "Yeah?" Chloe turned back around. "Do you want to, you know, talk about what happened last night?"Ella asked with a small empathetic smile.

She was in the nursery playing with Charlie when all of a sudden she heard yelling coming from outside. When she stepped out, she saw the Choe Decker, turn into a crying mess. Her face was soaked with tears and they just kept coming. Her best friend, normally so tough and strong, had been completely broken down in just a few minutes. Before she could say anything, Chloe had already left. What the hell happened?

"What? No, I'm fine," Chloe smiled, desperately trying to avoid choking up at the thought of the previous night, and him. Tears were starting to well up in her eyes but the sunglasses came in handy.

"Just so you know, we're sisters okay? Need anything and I'll be there," Ella said with full sincerity. Chloe wasn't her sister by blood but they were connected.

Chloe smiled softly, "Thanks babe, but I promise, I'm.....fine." 

The detective went off to interview the primary witness, the dead man's girlfriend. She was sitting on a bench nearby, her eyes were wide open and she looked frightened, almost traumatised?

"Hi, Lindsay Rowland?" Chloe asked. The woman nodded, barely even taking a glance at the detective. "Can you tell me what happened?" Chloe asked gently.

"I don't know, We...we were just walking down the street and...and suddenly," the woman took a deep breath, "His...his hand turned ice cold and he just collapsed." the women said monotonously. She didn't seem sad at all but mortified.

Well her boyfriend did just die half an hour ago right next to her out of nowhere, Chloe thought.

"Did he have any medical conditions? Heart problems maybe? Or anyone who might try to poison him, enemies, rivals?" Chloe asked further.

"You don't understand," the woman said breathlessly, sharply turning her head towards Chloe, wide eyes filled with fear, "He wasn't poisoned or had any medical conditions. If he had, his body would have still been warm but..but.... He turned ice-cold the second he collapsed. That can't be possible."

The woman was right, it had only been half an hour and yet the victim's body temperature was already as low as someone who had been dead for an entire day.
