COMPLETE! Epilouge added. It's the first case that's left nightmares screaming in his head for nights on end. He can't think straight, he hardly eats anymore. If they don't solve this case soon, he's not sure what he'll do.

Her heart thudded against her chest and she was sure that anyone within a two-mile radius could hear it. Her finger twitched over the trigger of her gun as she struggled to keep it in her sweaty grip. And all she could think was, Oh Christ, Oh Christ. Please be alright. Please.

She rounded the corner and the dark pounced on her, surrounded her. She fumbled for the small flashlight in her pocket and quickly flicked it on as she brought it up to hold beside her weapon. She proceeded forward, not actually sure of where she was going, not actually aware of where she had been. There was only one thing on her mind.

Oh Christ, Oh Christ. Please be alright. Please.

That's when she stumbled upon it; the motionless lump huddled in the corner of the dark room. She lowered her weapon, rushed forward. As she crouched near the figure, there was only one thought rushing through her head. Oh Christ, Oh Christ. Please be alright. Please.

Holstering her weapon, she muscled the lump onto it's back, checked for a pulse. Nothing. She ripped out her phone, dialed. "Officer down!" she screamed, not sure what else to say. "Officer down!" After a moment, she regained her senses and spat out her location, snapped the phone shut.

And as she put her shaking hands on the figure's chest and began CPR, the voice in her head screamed, Oh Christ, Oh Christ. Please be alright. Please.
