"Detective Adams, where shall I bring the forensic details too?"

"Just give them to John "

I always took my time with things, not jumping to conclusions. I was the type who liked to investigate, to observe before taking the shot. It's always a different feeling when you find another corpse. I mean, it's my job, but recently the feeling of dread and sadness when I see the body has overtaken my work. So when a new body was found dead in the middle of a stream, I had a slight feeling that something was wrong. But then again, something was always wrong. It's called murder for a reason. 

 I arrived at the crime scene, the car wheels skidding across the road. The wave of blue and white hovering over the victim. Pushing my way through, I approached the water bend where a clump of hair lay. Now I wonder how I could possibly still stay sane while witnessing things like this every day. The pungent smell was unusual. Brown hair framing the face, the corpse had scars all over it, a deep wound in her chest. It was a pomegranate red, the color stained on her stomach. Her entire body was a pale white, the bottom of her feet, scarred. Her hand was scrunched tight, her nails filled with dirt. Her hair was a mess, blood tearing from the scalp. I observe her face. It seemed tight, her mouth scrunched up in a ball. 

" Detective Adams, this is the missing girl from a few weeks ago."

" Thursbury? "

" Yes."

" I see, how long has she been missing?"

" 3 weeks. The corpse shows that she has been out since 3-5 am. Approximately, she has been in the river for quite a long time, her pruned skin showing signs that she was most likely drowned."

" I see. Call em out from the back, John. We've got some cleaning to do"

" Yes Miss, on it" 

I followed them back into the forest, trampling across the muddy floors. As I walked back towards the cars,  I notice a small house further up the river. Into the harkened light of day, past the river, comes a small silhouette. And to my eyes, I adjusted them, my brain still processing the freshly brightened hues, appears doors, windows, a roof of fine tile, a cottage of finesse and calmness. 

" Have we checked the surroundings and further areas of close contact?"

"They will be checked via today. Would you like to lead the investigation team?"

"Yes, sure. Please make sure all the information is taken immediately to the forensics department."

"I would like to see some results as fast as possible."

"Yes Miss."
