Chapter 1

Brring.

My hand reflexively hit the snooze button, hoping for a few more minutes of sleep.

Brring.

Wait, that's not my alarm clock.

Brring.

I rolled over and checked the time. 2:14 AM. Only work would dare to call me this early.

Brring.

I groaned as I reached over and picked up my cordless phone. "You've reached the morgue. The coroner isn't in right now, so please leave a message," I answered in a dead monotone.

"Good morning to you too, sunshine," Katie replied brightly.

"Who's on call?" I asked.

"Tyler and Evan are already there, and Jen's on the way."

"That bad, huh?"

"You bet."

I sighed wearily. "Where at?"

"The address is 1400 Lincoln. Its about 3 blocks from where Wolf Road crosses it."

"Fine. Give me…" I glanced at my digital clock. "20 to 25 minutes."

"Sounds great. Have a nice day," Katie replied in a sing-song manner. I growled and hung up.

I hauled myself out of bed and threw on whatever clean clothes that happened to be around, then staggered to the bathroom. After running a brush through my auburn hair, I put it up into a passable ponytail and splashed cold water on my face. Staring at the blue eyes and pale, freckled face in the mirror, I decided to forgo the make-up out of laziness-as usual. I made my way to the tiny kitchen, where I snapped on my police belt and grabbed a protein bar off the counter. Before leaving my apartment, I slid my standard .42 into its holster. I locked the door and navigated down the stairs to the parking lot. Checking to make sure my kit was in back, I then got into my blue SUV and drove out into the night. I munched on my morning snack as I headed to another day in the life of a crime scene investigator.
