[12:28am] Justin and I have left the morgue and I have led him to the far less triggering break room near our lab. It was deserted at this time of night, so it gave us privacy and comfort for him to tell me his story. +

That single hair had been such a massive find. The fact that it had been found under the victim’s fingernail made it highly likely that it had been torn out during a struggle. Which in turn, meant it was also +

As Justin lets out his third massive yawn in the past ten minutes, I turn to face him, my eyebrows raised and a smirk on my lips, “You haven’t learned the secret to forensics yet, have you?” +

My heart and head are pounding, and my footsteps are heavy as I run. Where am I? Some kind of house? I don’t recognise it but it’s huge. Feels never-ending. And filled with an overwhelming sense of foreboding. I’m not safe in here. +

Most forensic scientists would be daunted by the amount of work I had walked into. But I wasn’t like most others in my profession. I didn’t just enjoy what I did. I lived for it. The satisfaction of going through slow and +

[New Case File Opened - August 12, 6:44 am]
My eyes open slowly, and I stretch with a smile on my face. It was refreshing for me to have a full, solid night's sleep. I could scarcely put into words how rested and alive I felt. My trip to France had been exactly what I +

I know I need to try and stay calm and figure a way out of this. But that’s easier said than done when an armed maniac is edging closer to me and I have nowhere to run. Shit, even if I get him to drop his gun, he is still far bigger and stronger than I am… +

“So, when are you gonna tell me what you’ve seen?” Detective Devin eyes me with what feels like amusement as he drinks his scotch.
“After a couple more drinks…” I down another shot and try to work up the courage to tell him the truth. +

Hiding away in my lab, pretending to work, my head is telling me that I should be totally broken down by now. That I should be in hospital, heavily medicated and lacking any hope or will to live. And I have no doubt that is exactly what the killer was +

Healthy body, healthy mind, right? That’s the thought buzzing through my head as I head to the gym for the first time in forever. To say I was frustrated would have been the understatement of the year. Still no new leads on Jack’s killer. No more clues. +

Avoiding Detective Ivor Devin had become my new life goal. The guy made me feel sick to my stomach. I think Lieutenant Davis could tell he made me uncomfortable, but no doubt she was putting it down to me just not wanting Jack to be “replaced.” +

I’d woken with a start, for a moment forgetting where I was. The couch beneath me comfortable, the blanket draped over me warm, and books all around me. Of course, I’d come to Bartholomew’s last night to fill him in on everything that had happened. +

“I am truly sorry for your loss, Kira,” Bartholomew’s voice breaks through the awkward silence.
I had just told him everything. Let it all spill out like a tidal wave of grief and fear. The visions. The killer’s message. Jack…

The explosion had blown half the house away. The entire front section was gone, like a giant, gaping mouth exposing the charred interior. 687 West Pointon Avenue. The address the killer wanted /me/ to know. The address that I'd told Jack. The place where +
