action for cops/friends of charlie. threadjack away but let the cops work.

[charring]

[Hey, City. Guess what? There's another body. This one belongs to one Charlie McGee and she is, of all places, in the fountain. As per the other bodies, she is dressed in clothing befitting the time period the killer seems to be taking inspiration from. There's an extra scrap of clothing floating near her, along with several flowers. Rosemary's, pansies, columbines, rue. Fennel, daisies and violets. Someone did their homework.

If someone wouldn't mind retrieving Charlie and notifying the police, that'd be super.]

[ She looks up at him.

She's seen death. Many times before. But, this death is senseless. Moving Charlie's head, she sits up, her outfit now damp. She hadn't thought... ]

Justin.

[ She looks down at Charlie. ] I - I found her. In the fountain just -- she'd been drowned. There's -- there's another quote...

Hamlet. How long ago did you find her?

[He goes to fish the fabric scrap out of the fountain... largely to avoid looking at the corpse of someone he knows.]

Ophelia.

[ She looks back at Justin for the same reason he's not looking at Charlie as she pulls her arms around herself. ]

T- ten minutes. Fifteen, maybe. I was on my way into work. Are we going to have to start listing every Shakespearean murder?

[Undoubtedly Ophelia, although this one didn't drown on accident. And the flowers: "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance"...]

We might. I don't know how it would help, though.

[He bags the scrap of fabric and sends a quick text to the hospital so they can retrieve the body.]

...You're friends with Charlie?

action--mind a threadjack?

[Dean is there somewhat after Justin. Mostly he's there because he knows Charlie, counts her as a friend even. He arrives with a screech of tires and a pissed off look on his face.]

Friggin' awesome. This is just friggin' awesome. I hate this fucking place.

[No, he really doesn't but right now, he does.]

action-- never!

[rehashing]

[ To Justin. ]

We were starting to be.

[ At Dean. ]

This has to stop happening.
