Marinette's a private investigator, who gets a call from the police about a mysterious homicide. They can not figure out how the man died or who killed him.  

    Marinette goes to the scene of the crime with her trustworthy assistant Tikki.  She is glad to investigate this crime.

     The crime scene itself is a horrible mess with blood everywhere since the victim is badly hurt. He has a wound across his forehead, his arm, his leg, his knee, his shoulder, and his chest areas.

   Marinette exams the body, and feels a shiver go up to her spine. Someone grabs ahold of her arm and says, "Help me!"

    "Ah, who said that anyway?"  Marinette screams.

       Marinette hears the words, "Help me,"  once again.

Tikki rushes to her side. 

"Marinette are you okay?  I heard a scream," Tikki says.

    "No, He just said help me," Marinette says she points to the victim's body.

     Tikki shakes her head. 

"Marinette, you have been up to late watching reruns of the X-files, CSI, and NCIS, girl, " Tikki says.

      "Tikki, I know what I heard," Marinette protest.

   "Marinette, you heard nothing, now do not let your imagination get the better of you," Tikki says.

   "Help me, help me, please!"  A voice barely above a whisper is heard.

   "What was that, Marinette?" Tikki calls out in fear.

"Oh, now you heard it too, " Marinette says.

  "It is impossible, he is dead," Tikki says. She runs and hides.

    Marinette laughs, she inspects the ground around the body next. She can hear the person breathing much to her surprise. The first thing on her mind now is, he is alive?  How is it possible?  She thinks, this is the first time she has ever been on a case in which the murder victim is not already dead.

     Tikki remains hidden behind some plants in the alleyway. She is a nervous wreck because she heard the same voice that spoke to her partner speak to her. She shakes her head and tries to dismiss it.  She can not begin to accept the fact he is alive.  This must never get out to anyone.
