9:45pm, Chelsea.The brownstone of noted Fortune 500 CEO James Payton was swarming with NYPD officers and personnel. Squad cars blocked off part of the street, blue and red lights whirling, silently punctuating an otherwise serene neighborhood like exclamation points. Uniformed officers lazily guarded the building's entryway. One smacked his ( Read more... )

"Detective Wheeler," Julianna managed a small smirk, then glanced over at Zach's turned back with a mixture of amusement and uncertainty. "Nichols." She looked back at Wheeler while the woman's partner surveyed the various packages and bottles on the floor - perfumes, a tissue box, several prescriptions including one for depression issued to James Paxton. "Don't worry," Cox told Wheeler, "I plan on filing a complaint with Stuckey's supervisor. Not that it'll help get to the bottom of what happened here..."

At Nichols' question, the doctor went back on the defensive. "They were all ready, like Stuckey, to wrap this up without a thorough investigation. Paxton's a Fortune 500 CEO of a company that just laid off a bunch of employees amid a fair amount of controversy." She shrugged. "I called for Major Case." Moving back over to Anna Paxton's body, Julianna motioned with a hand. "The wife was moved post-mortem, as you can tell from the streaks of blood on the sheets.

Wheeler glared at the man too. What was it with men today? Were they all out to piss her off as much as possible?

"Maybe he was upset before he did it," Morris shrugged, finding his voice, before making his way back out the door to get the dieners who were waiting outside to transport the bodies in the M.E.'s wagon.

"Someone that upset wouldn't write 'To whom it may concern,'" Wheeler muttered under her breath. She looked at Cox and then Nichols. "Of course, no one they knew will 'have ever expected anything like this.' Seems like they never do."

A moment later, two men wearing jackets that bore the text "NYC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner" on the back came in with body bags and stretchers.

The men began the task of loading up the bodies.

"Be careful," Cox said almost instinctively.
"Always am," one of them replied with a smile at her.
"'least someone is," she muttered.
