A/N: Howdy! I have had this storyline for forever, so I thought I should start it on here! Um, the title may change as I work on this further and further. Anyway, it's a kind of Law and Order crossover, but mostly RENT. And I won't be dwelling on the fact that Jesse L. Martin is Ed Green and Tom Collins. Just clearing that up now. So enjoy this tale of love and murder!
Disclaimer: I only own Adam and Anthony! Tickets, that is. :D
The EMTs loaded the lifeless body into the ambulance and drove off. Mark walked over to see what was going on.
"Poor bugger was shot. 'ad a dozen daisies in 'is 'ands. I'd hate to be the one to tell 'oo ever 'e was goin' to see that 'e's gone," a British tourist told the filmmaker.
Mark uttered a 'thanks' and kept walking home, unable to chase off the chill in his bones.

"The victim's a John Doe. No driver's license in his wallet, just pictures of him and his friends. He was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head," the examiner told Detective Green. She gave Green and Briscoe the box of his belongings.
"Looks like the guy had a girlfriend. Any luck on tracking her or any of the friends down?" Detective Briscoe asked.
"Don't bother with the girl. Here's the card from the funeral." Green handed the card to his partner. "Any luck on the others though?"
"Detective, I just look at the victims. Not for their friends," the examiner replied.

"Any of you guys seen Collins today?" Roger asked his friends as they bummed around his and Mark's loft. Mark walked in, getting little acknowledgement, and plopped down on the couch to clean his camera.
"Yeah, he was visiting Angel," Maureen answered. They had a silent moment for their fallen friend before Maureen continued. "He was saving up all month to buy her some flowers. I saw them too. They were Pink Gerbera daisies."
Mark's blood ran cold.
A/N: So that was short, but I thought it would be good to get that out of the way. I'll be updating this fast, because I have no life! ;-)
