“Urgh!” Dee grimaced at the state of his hands, slick with sweat and liberally smeared with substances he’d rather not be able to identify, thank you very much. “I double gloved, and it still looks like I went rummagin’ in there barehanded!”

Latex gloves were all very well, preventing cops from contaminating potential evidence, but aside from making hands unbearably sweaty in hot weather, they also tended to tear easily when caught on anything sharp, and there’d been a lot of sharp objects in the dumpster. It might not have been quite so bad if they’d found the murder weapon, but they hadn’t; either the killer had taken it with him, or he’d ditched it someplace else.

“I’ve got wet wipes in the car,” Ryo said. “If I can get at them without touching anything.” His hands weren’t quite as messy as Dee’s, but that was only because he’d been more careful.

“Wet wipes gonna do damn all. Hell, even soap and water’s not gonna cut it. Think I need a bottle of disinfectant and a scrubbin’ brush.”

“Soap and water will have to do. There’s a café across the street; we can use the restroom there.”

“Lead the way.”

The End
