"Another body, sir." An officer said, motioning to his chief.
"Dammit. This is the fourth one tonight. What the hell is going on?" Chief West said, scratching the top of his head.
"The marks on this body are the same as the last. Flesh ripped open, head smashed in. Blood streaked the entire street, as if the victim was dragged after death." The officer said, standing.
"Where is McKenly?" Chief West said, looking around.
"He can't make it today, sir. His son is sick, and he called in for an off day. Commissioner gave it to him, so we have Matthews today." The officer said.
"Alright. Thanks, Anthony." Chief West said, "See if you can get me any sort of leads. Fingerprints, DNA, anything."
"Yes, sir." Anthony said, jogging over to Matthews.
"Dad!" A voice called out, and Chief West turned around to see his daughter, Alice West.
"Alice. What are you doing here?" He asked, glancing at the corpse.
"Just got back from school. Mom's not home, and Chase is over at his friend's house. I don't like being home alone." She explained, looking over at the body, "Looks bad."
"Yes, it is. Sweetheart, this is not a good place for you to hang out." Chief West said, trying to convince his daughter to leave.
"I didn't come to hang out, I came to try to help you." Alice said, walking past her dad to the corpse, "Dang." She knelt down, placing her hand on the edge of the large gash in the victim's chest, "Looks fairly new. Only about a day old, if that." She glanced back at her father.
"Well, yes. We knew that, but we can't ID the body if his head is missing." Chief West said, kneeling down by his daughter, "Having straight A's as a Junior isn't going to help in this case, Sweetheart."
"It might." Slice argued, rolling up her sleeve.
"And what do you think you doing now?" He father questioned.
"I'm gonna try to ID the corpse. If we take any sort of DNA sample, even the smallest, the station can ID it, right?" Alice asked,looking at her father.
"Yes, and we've sent in a sample. Honey, we're doing everything we can. Just go home, your mother should be back in a few minutes." Chief West said, standing up.
"Fine." Alice said, grabbing her backpack she left by the police car.
"I'll give you an escort." Chief West said, about to motion for Anthony.
"Dad! It's only a block away. I'll be fine." Alice said, ducking underneath the "No Crossing" tape.
"This killer could still be out there!" Her father called.
"This killer only seems to want to attack at night." She called back, walking down the hill. She stopped at the bottom of the hill, spotting her boyfriend, Matthew Connway.
"Hi, Matt!" She called, running over to him.
"Hey. You ready for the game tonight?" He asked, giving her a kiss.
"Mmm, I can't make it." She said, and he mocked sadness.
"Aww, why not?" He asked, trying to seem next to tears.
'My mother's making me watch this movie with her and Dad. Although I doubt he'll make it to that, so it'll be just me and her. Again." Alice said, seeming disappointed with the last part.
"New body?" Matt asked, as they began to walk to her house.
"Yup. Fresh. Only killed last night." Alice said, glancing over at her boyfriend.
"Ahh. So he'll be with Henry's dad?" Matt asked.
"No, Henry is sick. Hannah told me earlier." Alice said, "So he'll be making sure he's OK."
"Oh." Matt said, stopping in front of her door, "I'll see you tomorrow at school then?"
"Babe, tomorrow is Saturday." Alice said, grinning.
"Oh. Right. Well, then I'll try to pop in tomorrow." Matt said, kissing Alice.
"Good. I'm gonna hold you to that." Alice said, pointing a fake accusation finger at Matt.
"Fine. You do that." Matt said, turning to leave.
"Bye." Alice said, opening the door.
"Bye." Matt said, waving. Alice opened the door, to see her mother standing arms crossed and smiling.
"You saw all of that, didn't you?" Was the first thing out of Alice's mouth.
"Yup." Her mother said, turning back towards the kitchen.
"Mom." Alice complained, walking into their small living room. It had a small, black couch, facing a big TV. On the walls were family photos. Most of which were before her father had become Police Chief. Every time Alice looked at a picture with her dad in it, her heart broke. He was never here anymore.
"You know your father doesn't like him." Alice's mother called from the kitchen.
"And you know I don't care." Alice called, placing her bag into her room. On her wall was a poster of her favorite band, Three Days Grace. On the bed, a large pink sheet was covered by a purple blanket. On top of that, was a Matt Walst comforter she had made custom for her. She had always found it ironic that her favorite singer had the same name as her boyfriend. Her walls were a dark purple color, almost had a hardwood floor, of oak wood. On her nightstand was a picture of her and Matt, the day they first kissed.
"Now, you know how he'll react if he finds out your dating him." Her mom said, turning into her room.
"He's never home to find out." Alice said, and he mother's face grew sad.
"I know, honey." Sh said, walking int the room, "Is that why you're upset?"
"Most of it. I'm going through something at school." Alice said, sitting on her bed.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Her mother asked, sitting next to her.
"No." Alice said, laying down, "It's a personal problem." Her mind went back earlier in the day, when Andrew, the school bully, had decided to make her his favorite target. Now, she was his ONLY target.
"OK, but you know you can talk to me." Her mother said, making to leave the room.
"I know mom. I love you." Alice said, hugging her mother.
"I love you, too, Baby." She said, hugging back, "Are you ready to watch the movie?"
"Give me a minute." Alice said, sitting on her bed.
"Alright. When you're ready, come let me know." Her mother said, closing the door. Alice stared out the window, thinking she saw the fur of a large, brown bear. She also thought she saw he glow of a bright, blue eye.
