2012, September
Casey McDonald singed in relief as she took of her gloves and lab coat. Today was a hard day for them, Casey and her partners. They tried many times to get DNA fingerprint of the accused, but no matter how many times they tried, the result didn't show up. And they needed the fingerprints as soon as possible, because the accused was charged with aggravated sexual assault (rape while seriously harming the victim) as well as manslaughter (killing another human being). His hearing was only 2 weeks away.
Casey McDonald graduated from Seneca and York (Toronto) with degree and diploma in Biotechnology last year. She's been working for Canada's Law Agency – which basically uses biotech to see if accused if guilty or innocent.
Hopefully, we'll have better luck tomorrow. That's the only downside to this work – sometime, results don't show up, at all. We have build a technology that 100 accurate, which is nearly impossible, seeing that humans are stupid. Casey walked out of very high classified looking building. She looked at the setting sun, through the buildings, and saw something black fall strait down. After few seconds she realized it was dead bird. Dear lord.
She watched the bird until it fell behind one of the buildings. Something flying by her face made her turns around. There was a park, with many dead trees, and the leaves from the ground floating about. Another leaf headed her way, and she caught it, between her fingers. Looking around her, she realized, it was the season of death. She looked at the leaf, and the place where she last saw the bird, and the place where sun hardly visible, almost completely set. Darkness had started to surround, what was once a bright, sunny day.
Feeling her pockets vibrate, she reached for her phone.
"Hello?" She faintly whispered, not wanting to disturb her surroundings.
"Casey?"
"Em? What's up?" Even thought Casey had moved away as soon the college started, she had still kept in touch with Emily, who was still in London.
"Marti's gone missing."
"What?"
By some unexplainable force, Casey's eyes attached themselves to the place she last saw the falling bird before it disappeared behind the building. The fear, the confusion, the hopelessness, she felt within the few second of hearing Emily's reply, was over-whelming. Her then looked for the dying Sun, but did not find a trace of him. Gripping the leaf in her hand, harder, she focused back on the phone.
"What did you just say?"
Hey guys! Thanks for the Review for 'Never Alone'. This is (kinda) the same story, but I'm going about it in a different way. Please let me know what you think. If you liked the other one better, I'll continue that. But I do have high hopes for this story. And I promise to finish this one. Thanks!!
