You're kidding me. You pulled that wound off a vic? A current one? In Chicago?

i rarely kid when dead bodies are involved. granted, that photo was taken BEFORE the guy (a city sanitation worker, if that makes a diff) turned up dead this morning. he said something big jumped him in the sewers, but that's about all i could get out of him after a couple of drinks.

please tell me you've got SOME idea of what this is.

...it's an alien, right? i just KNEW it.

Why the hell didn't you ask me to begin with? In fact, why the hell didn't I receive a cell phone picture immediately after you saw this? Did it slip your mind who exactly I am?

Of course I know what it is. I'll be there first thing in the morning. Whatever you do, stay out of the sewers.

I mean it.

dude. since when do i report to YOU, anyway?

i could do PLENTY more bitching about your lousy attitude, but i'm way too thankful for the assist. guess i'll owe you baby-sitting or something when i get back to the springs.

okay, i went ahead and emailed you my hotel/contact info, and all the case facts i've gathered so far. lemme know when your flight gets in, and i'll pick you up.

...aww, fuck. NOW you tell me. i've already been down there TWICE today, dammit.

It isn't a matter of reporting to me, it's the fact that I should without a doubt be your first contact for 'weird creature in sewer.' I chased that shit (ha.) for YEARS, and I remember EVERYTHING.

Yup, I got it. Flight gets in at 9:30. Frontier Airlines.

I would've been happy to tell you earlier, had you asked.
