Death In Se7en (Chap 1, Pg 3)

“To the surprise of no one the dream team is here, let's see how you guys solve this case,” he said sarcastically with his arms raised.

“Well for starters you know your help is always needed.” As he glaces up from the report he’s reading. “Plus no one knows these streets better than you Detective Issac,” he said with a smirk.

“You’re damn right I am, so after reading the report what can you tell me on this case, I was going to get started canvasing the strip, but decided to come here to pick yous to up,”  he said with a smile.

“Well I'm glad you did and I can’t say much yet on this case, but the autopsy report is definitely a clue on what’s going on,”  he turns to “G”. “His notis lapsos certos facit, spero quod non est alius eius technicorum, et suus iustus est cum hominibus officere.”

“Si techna est, hic paulisper essemus, tu cum Issaco ibis, ego referam et sciant omnes nos hic erimus donec sciamus quid agatur,”  “G” gets up nods to Issac and walks away.

“So let’s get started Issac, I'll let you lead since you probably know the working girls better,” he exclaims, gesturing out the door.

As the two Detectives drive down to the Vegas strip an uneasy tension can be felt between the two as neither knows what this death really tells or what will come about once the truth is known. As day turns to dusk and the lights and people start to come alive. The pair head to a known hot spot for the working girls and after an hour of asking they finally found one girl that recognized the victim.

“ So umm-”

“Roxie, with an ‘ie’.”

“Right so Roxie what can you tell me about Scarlette’s Johns, any of them act weird or get rough with her?” Issac asks while waiting with a pen and notepad on her response.

“ Not really, I mean we will all get a John that’s too rough once and a while, but Scarlette always seemed to get lucky with her Johns, none of hers were ever rough, all perfect gentlemen. The last one I saw her with I’d say was tall dark and handsome, and very cash forward, she told me he took her to his penthouse at Caesars Palace, and when I saw her again she was fine if a bit dizzy, I thought she just got dicknotized,” she said with a chuckle.

“Did he tell her his name?” “M” asks slightly worried.

Death In Se7en (Chap 1,Pg 2)

Once the scene was processed and the body sent to the coroner Detective Issac sits in his car and wonders what is going on with this case, and what will her body uncover once the autopsy report comes in. 

“So Doctor, what can you tell me about her?” As Detective Issac puts peppermint chapstick under his nose.

“Well thankfully she fell with her purse so identifying her will be easy, her name is Scarlett Miller, age 22, and I’m guessing by the condoms in her purse, she’s one of the girls working the strip,” she states.

“Alright so at least we have a name and where to start looking so, what can you tell me about those?” He points to the two handprints burned into her back. “Because honestly Doc I’ve never seen burns like that before.”

“ You’re right about that these burns are from molten sulfur. I've never seen anything like this. I can't even explain how someone could do it?” she said with a worried look. “Though you're just in time since it's sulfur I can wash it away with baking soda and water.”

As she washes the area with the mixture a curious thing is revealed on each handprint is a pentagram one upside down and one rightside up.

“What in God's name is that,” he exclaimed.

“Well that’s definitely another thing to add to my report, also the tox screen came back and there were no drugs in her system.”

He sighs, “ And with that, I know who’s going to show up, once the report is complete. Those two should be popping up any minute now.”

Detective Issac knows all too well of the mystery duo that always show up when odd crimes like this come up.   They always call themselves “M”&”G”, “M” is the de facto leader, always talking while “G” is observing and only talks to “M”. The pair, on the surface seem normal, but they always wear trench coats and  when you can see their skin it's covered in tattoos of a strange language.  “M” is olive skinned with reddish brown hair and “G” is fair skinned with blonde hair, when not speaking to detectives they always converse in latin. When Detective Isaac reaches his desk they’re already there waiting for him.

Death In Se7en (Chap 1, Pg 1)

This is a tale of the end of all things. There are  no happy ends here just: Death, Sorrow, Blood and Loss. If you still wish to read I will tell you how this world will end. It all started in “Sin City” Las Vegas on top of the Caesar Palace, with a woman looking over the edge down to the road watching the cars and people pass by and then she falls, arms wide as if she could fly, but she doesn’t to the horror of onlookers. As some people scramble to call 911 and others scream in terror one many on the phone glances up just in time to see a shadow where the woman fell from.

“O God, she was pushed there’s someone up there,” he yells into the emergency dispatcher.

After the civilians have cleared out a police section off the area, the investigation is underway.  

“ So what do we got ?” Detective Issac Lancaster says to an officer taking notes.

“ Well, at first it looked like an EDP, but that guy over there.” He jesters with his pen. “Says that he saw someone was on the roof with her and honestly Sir I believe him because there were two handprints on her back.”

“Was there any sign of a struggle on the roof before the vic fell?”

“No Sir and that’s not even the strange part there’s only one set of footprints and the security cameras only see her going to the roof.”

The puzzled expression on Detective Issac’s face speaks volumes to this strange case that just fell into his hands. As he delves deeper into the crime scene more strange things keep popping up: There’s a strong scent of sulfur on the roof, camera footage shows the victim with a dreamy smile on her face, she kept nodding her head in agreement, and she just walked in from the street.
