Chapter 139
EXT. - WICKLOW STREET - NIGHT
Gerri stepped out of her Charger, already frowning at the scene before her. It was damned late, or really freaking early, whichever she could call on at 3:30 in the morning. She suppressed a yawn and the annoyance that came from being dragged out of bed so early before crossing the street to the bus pulled over to the side of the road.
CSI Tommy Binks waved to her from where he took what looked like blood samples from the grill of the huge public transport vehicle, streetlights reflecting from his wire-rim glasses. Gerri joined him, gaze travelling over the other techs combing the scene for evidence, to the sight of a familiar brunette in a "MEDICAL EXAMINER" jacket crouched over a body on the sidewalk. A rather crumpled and damaged body from what the detective could tell from here. The scent of blood reached her, woke her hunger, and she caught herself wondering if Belle's Diner was open this early and if they had their steak breakfast on special.
