As the light fails…
Shcnick. The sound of metal slicing through flesh was brief. As his victim fell to the floor, there was a knock on the door. As the door opened, light fell over the assailant. The intruder, without realizing that there was an unwelcome guest in the house, called: "Hello? Reina? You here?" The assailant walked over to the door and, before the man could react, he was dead, falling to the ground with a blade in his throat. As the blood pooled around the victims, the assailant looked around. As a second precaution, he wiped down the scene of all fingerprints, taking care to also wipe down the edge of the weapon. Wouldn't want to get caught, now would we?
Fist on the scene, Zane Truesdale, looked over the horrifying scene before him with a critical eye. Where most people would see only death and blood, he saw evidence. First on his mental list of what to look for was the murder weapon. He looked toward the male victim, who was on his stomach not far from the door. His eyes fell on the katana that had gone through one side of the neck and out the other. He had a feeling that that the medical examiner would report exsanguination as the primary cause of death. He had already found the victims, after making sure there where no others by walking through the rest of the apartment. He wondered, vaguely, whether the man at the door was a friend of the other victim, or simply a neighbor who had heard something and come to investigate. He decided to go through the apartment once more to make sure he hadn't missed anything. As he walked into the rather small bathroom, he noted that there were a few gravitational blood drops on the floor. He put an evidence marker next to them, as he had done with the rest of the evidence. He would check back with the rest of the team once he got back to the lab.
