OOC: Rolled a 4. The murder goes undetected for now.  

Bishop's body slips beneath the water. The splash muffled under the roar of the lapping waves. James was fortunate for the thick fog and relatively deserted area of the dock to have no immediate witnesses to the crime. He manages to creep away from the scene undetected.

-1-2 Hours later-

The body does not however, completely disappear. With nothing to weigh it down, the incoming waves of the ocean inevitably bring Bishop's corpse back to shore. It bobs up and down with the tide and eventually ends up at the boat docks. A lonely fisherman spots the dead man floating and calls back to the Harbor,

"Oi! Man in the water!"

Quickly, the fisherman pulls the body to shore and shakes his head sadly as he looks for any sign of life. Doctor Teddy Wright is called for and rushes to the scene with a small crowd who heard the Fisherman's shout and he examines the dead man closely.

"Aye, looks like he fell from aloft and drowned Doc," The Fisherman says in a thick northern accent, "Poor fella."

The Doctor ignores the man and continues his examination. A cold horror grips him when he makes a grim realization.

"I need everyone to stand back," He says calmly but firmly, "I said stand back!" he repeats more loudly this time. He contemplates who he should tell about this, and two immediately come to mind,

"Somebody send for Longfellow and Corrine!" He says again, "Tell them its urgent. And keep everyone else back! You hear me?"

Several Harbormen and women nod their heads in understanding and one of them rushes off to find Corrine and Longfellow. The others stand guard and keep the townsfolk and anyone else confined to the town for the moment. Keeping them all beyond the small doorway that leads to the boat dock area.
