[RP] Enter the Twilight Zone - with hasperkynipples & somuchas_twitch
November 26th, 2010
There were many times that having her cellphone go off five times in a row made Anna very cranky. But in the middle of this particularly bad date? It was welcome. And as her heels clicked loudly along the subway platform, it was obvious that she was happy to be on a crime scene. Her long, black coat billowed behind her as she shuffled past the crowd of officers and forensic personnel lining the platform.
"Nice dress, Morasca."
"Stop grinning like an idiot, Kent. The break is incredibly welcome."
Chuckling, the blonde doctor sidled along with Anna as they entered the subway car to check out the scene. "What's wrong with this one?"
"He's lookin' for a Stepford Wife. White picket fence, apple pie, three-and-a-half kids, a big dog..." Anna wrinkled her nose before looking around the car.
"Sounds perfect."
"I hate dogs."
Alison rolled her eyes and led the brunette detective through the next car, stopping at the pile of bodies strewn about the entire car. No blood. No scratches on the wall. Nothing out of place. It was as if everyone just... stopped living. "Welcome to the Twilight Zone."
"...Why is this a Homicide case?"
"Because this shit is just creepy, and we all know who to call when the creepy infects Manhattan..." As soon as Anna glared, Alison's hands went up defensively. "Hey, I think of it as a testament to how badass you are."
This time it was Anna's turn to roll her eyes as she shook her head. "Of course it is. What's the cause of death?"
"That's the thing. I have no fuckin' clue. The air's clean, there's no sign of poisoning and no blood or injuries. Hence you gettin' a call from the Chief of Detectives because the Mayor's on his ass about this."
Carefully getting onto one knee, Anna put on gloves and placed her hand on one of the bodies to take a look but instead she felt a familiar jolt shoot through her body. Something, or someone, was responsible for this - but not in a way that mainstream society would understand. Whatever went down was too quick to leave any emotional residue behind for Anna to feel. "...Shit."
