[center]Police Department – Nash and Westhuizen’s Office Detective Michael Nash[/center] Nash was sorting through the case files he’s currently working on. At the moment, he has two open and one going through court. He has been working on the gunshot victim for a week now and the nagging feeling hasn’t left him. His eyes wandered to the bulletin board where evidence and suspect photographs were pinned. Nash was revisiting his deductive work of the case when Westhuizen entered the office groggily and lumped himself on his office chair. Westhuizen was a bear of a man. Being 6’6 and nearly double the width of an average person, anybody will surely be intimidated, even the captain treads carefully around him. But friends just treat him as a harmless giant, even though he’s far from harmless, Westhuizen’s loyalty protects them from his brawn attitude. Nash checked his watch and wasn’t surprise that his partner completely missed his shift. He vented out all his frustration earlier in the morning so he simply sighed and lit a cigarette. “Cue Ball will be putting you on the night shift.” “Ya, fuck him. He won’t be around to see me crashing on the couch in the lounge. My head is on merry-go-round and ears are buzzing like a bitch.” “You should have called in sick.” “And suffer through the racket the subway is making? Dammit, I shouldn’t have move into the city. The rent was bloody cheap to make anybody suspicious but I just bit on it.” He took a flask out of his jacket and shot a mouthful. Nash simply ignored it, knowing the reasons why he’s a drunk. “Wadda I miss?” Westhuizen inquired. “The shooter’s still loose and a campus murder.” Nash through a copy of the new case to his partner. “Preliminaries are in there, I’m still waiting for the autopsy and lab report.” “Co-Eds... Damn, should have come in earlier. Victim’s Maria Todd, age 21, third year in college. Base on the school’s picture, she’s a dirty blonde but her hair is all fishy in the crime scene photos. What’s up with that?” Nash shrugged. “Psychos and kids these days...” Westhuizen muttered and continued reading the file. “Damn file is half empty, no useful evidences found in the CS and no suspects apprehended. Only a bunch of conflicting statements from the canvas. A bunch say she’s a goody-two-shoes, ‘perfect in every way’ and another bunch saying she’s the ye-old college student, parties a lot, drinks a lot. From what I read, the only way we can get anywhere with this is whether we find the original CS or get to know the victim better.” “I got exactly the same thoughts. Figuring that we won’t find the original CS without knowing the victim a little better or establishing a timeline, I listed down few person of interests during the canvasing. A girl named Lisa Daniels says she used to be best friends with the victim, says they have a falling out and haven’t spoken in months. I haven’t found anybody who corroborates her story yet. Also from the bunch who described the victim as a ‘ye-old’ college student, two names stood up: Lilith Adams and Chris Richards. They seem to be the ones who know the most regarding after-school activities and might have seen her prior to her murder. There’s also word about a dealer bouncing around campus, someone called Skinny Harley or Handsome Harley or Harley Sportster or something like that. His aliases goes on and on.” “At least we know where to start.” “Since you’re on the night shift, you’ll be the one to file the autopsy and lab report and follow up on the preliminaries. I’m hitting the sack.” Nash stood up and gathered his things, when he was about to leave the office Westhuizen pointed something out from the bulletin board: “Nash, doesn’t it look like the girlfriend did it?” Michael followed his partner’s vision. “Shit, I should have seen that!” He cursed and left Westhuizen laughing. --- [hider=Scenario Cannons]The following information were canonized: The victim’s name, age and her blonde hair. Conflicting statements regarding her personality are present (goody-two-shoes or part-animal?). Mr Allen J has dropped out from the RP hence the characters Shannon Jacqueline Balore and Deborah Lillian Termellio are no longer valid for suspicion. [b]Mysteries:[/b] 1) Who’s the victim? Maria Todd is largely still an enigma. Players are free to define her personality and background further. 2) Where was the victim last seen and by whom?
