Case 3: Daily Ritual

[Doreen]

*Our 3rd case. This is the intro. Am too lazy to think of other things so anyone can continue this part.*

*This case is about a ritual sacrifice-thingy gone wrong in Central Park. There's supposed to be another one but I'm not quite sure what is it and we were supposed to be split into 2 teams for these 2 cases. Read "Starting the RPG" for more details and if I'm wrong anywhere, let me know*

A man went jogging in the wee hours of the morning in Central Park. He then stopped to catch his breath. Something on one of the bushes caught his eye. He went over to it, full of curiousity. He picked up a stick just in case it was something else.

He went towards it. When he reached it, he poked inside the bush. A small dog leaped out from it and ran away. The man breathed a sigh of relief. Then an arm flopped out from the bush. The man gasped in horror.

When Cali arrived on the scene the area was already crawling with cops. There was police tape all around, people surounding it trying to get a glimpse of what happened. I thought the zoo was the other direction, she thought digusted.

She flashed her id as she crossed the tape and made her way over to where her colleagues were standing. Tenatively she looked around and made a note to check out some knife marks in a nearby tree.

"So, Sheldon, what can you tell us?" Cali asked the ME.

[Fabian]

Luke was already on the scene. Severed arms are always interesting, he thought.
He decided to wait for the coroner and his collagues to know what he should look for in the surroundings. When he looked over the arm, he saw an interesting bite mark.

Not much later Sheldon arrived followed by Cali later.

[Doreen]

Meanwhile in another part of Central Park...

Doreen came to the crime scene, holding her kit. She saw Detective Flack talking to some people. He noticed her and went over to her.

"Spill," she told him.

He told her that someone found the dead body of a woman. Apparently a jogger.

"No one else knows what happened to her except that she jogs here everyday?" she asked the detective. He just nodded in reply.

"Hmmm... this is gonna be tough."

[KC]

Casey grabbed her kit and got out of the car. There were people everywhere, and she made her way through, showing her badge to people who gave her some dirty looks. She went under the caution tape and walked over to the detective and another CSI.

"So what do we got here?" she asked, putting her sunglasses on top of her head.

[Doreen]

Doreen saw Casey arriving at the crime scene. "Morning, Casey," she greeted. "Nothing like a case to wake you up in the morning, eh?"

She and Casey walked towards the body of the dead woman.

"Dead female jogger. No one knows anyting on how she died except the fact that she does her jogging here. I don't see any blood so maybe there's another cause of death," Doreen explained to Casey. "We may have to bring the body back to HQ and let Sheldon examine it. In the mean time, we should process this scene."

[bobbydee]

Hey ladies, i hear we got a dead jogger, who says exercise doesnt kill.

After the coroner cleared the body sean checked for a wallet or purse, as he searched her pockets it turned up some loose change, and an apartment keycard for the natalie apartments room 104, and the name Miss Kylie Henderson.

Well we got a name and an address thats always a start.

[Doreen]

*Yay Sean's on Casey's and my team!*

"Great," said Doreen. She took pictures of the victim's things, putting a number card near each evidence.

"Casey, Sean, you two should come and see this," she said, putting on a pair of latex gloves and picking up a plastic bottle.

[KC]

Casey put the womans belongings in seperate bags and went over to where Doreen was.

"What is it?" she asked, also putting on some gloves and looking at the bottle. "Looks like a pill container."

[Doreen]

"Pill container?" said Doreen. "Looks like we have to see what type of pills she was on."

She picked up her camera. "I'm gonna take some pictures of the evidence now."

[KC]

After Doreen was finished taking pictures, Casey put the container in a bag and put it in her vest.

"Look at this," she said, indicating towards the scratches on the womans arms. "Looks like someone.. or something really wanted her dead."

[Doreen]

"Or maybe she had a really cranky cat," said Doreen, raising en eyebrow.

She suddenly spotted something. A Pepsi coke can. "Could be the vic's," she said. "But I don't get it. Why would you take your pill with a carbonated drink? Isn't that dangerous?"

[KC]

"Yeah, I thought so. The medicine and the sugar in the drink would mix and it would probably cause some serious damage. "

Casey walked over to the can and picked it up. "I'll dust it to see if there are any usable prints left."

*Is it really bad to take medication and soda together? Well, then crap.. I do that sometimes.. lol*

[Doreen]

"Then maybe that's her cause of death? Mixing those two together?"

With that Doreen took her camera and snapped pictures of the crime scene.

*I'm off to bed now... LOL KC I'm not sure. At least that's what my older bro told me cos he's studying in a medical school and I really look up to him so I trust him on what he told me. Yet again, maybe not ALL medicines mixed with soda are bad...*

[KC]

"Possibly."

Casey finished dusting the can and found a print near the bottom of the can. "I found one!" she said. She lifted the print and gave it to Doreen. "You think it's hers?"

*Mkay.. night! lol. yeah, maybe not all.. i only do it with my allergy meds.. cuz that's like the only thing i can take it with xD*
