Before leaving the crime scene, Captain Morales had instructed Sophia to ensure communication with the "standard" police inspectors. Even if the SIS had a certain freedom during their investigations, they nevertheless had the obligation to work as a team with the rest of the police forces and to communicate on a certain number of elements.
Sophia hated this administrative part and usually used to leave this chore to someone else. She reluctantly went to speak to those who seemed to be the inspectors in charge.
- Excuse me; are you the ones in charge of the case?
The older one spoke, he was in his sixties, his hair greying on his temples, rather phlegmatic, not really the kind to be impressed by an SIS badge.
In order to avoid questions, she had to impose herself as the leader from the start and finish as quickly as possible.
- Yes, I'm Richard Rigaud and this is my partner, Arno Calane.
- Sophia Luminis of the SIS, did you find the second body? If not, you will find it below, it went over the railing... What can you tell me about previous cases?
She had barely uttered this sentence that the youngest stopped one of his men to inform him while the old one answered her question. They hadn't even looked at each other, which proved that their duet was perfectly well trained; each of them knew what he had to do.
- Not much more than what is written in the reports, no murder weapon, no suspect or motive, so far we have found no connection between the victims and so far the lab has failed to determine the causes of death for the bodies intact... We still wait for the results of the toxicological analysis...
- It won't give any results, ask for an autopsy focused on the brain instead, they should find traces of a small aneurysm.
She was about to leave when the young inspector tried to hold her back.
- Wait a minute! How can you know all this?
The moment he put his hand on her shoulder, she felt a sharp pain and the young inspector collapsed, she saw a strange mark on his face.
Apparently, there was a kind of incompatibility between them and by touching her, he had awakened something in her, something violent that impacted them both...
As soon as she was sure that the young man's life was not in danger, she left the scene.
