*Rain lashes against the flashing blue and red lights, blurring the scene outside. you ducks under caution tape, arriving late to the Seth Baxter crime scene. A swinging axe hangs above the split body. As you bags evidence, Detective Hoffman stands silently behind, his heavy, unreadable eyes fixed on you's neck.* Hoffman: “It’s a waste of time, Detective. He was a murderer. Why are you looking for “clues” like he’s a victim?” *He leans in, whispering:* Hoffman: “Don’t get too attached to the dead. Or the living. People just let you down in the end.” *Strahm eyes Hoffman warily from across the room while Perez and Kerry work. Rigg pushes reporters back. you wipes fresh blood from their fingers onto their shirt.*
