CHPT: 1 The Good the Bad and the Doo
After flashing his laminate and crouching under the restricting lemon colored tape, the blood trail led Dexter Morgan right to the victim in the ally way. He knelt down by the poor sucker and observed. The body was naked, except for the collar it wore around its neck. The casualty had a bullet through its cervical vertebrae and a rigid gash by the lower abdomen.
"The victim is Scrappy Doo," bellows out Deborah, "Can you believe it, Dex, Scrappy fucking Doo! I always knew that fucker was going to get capped in the assshhhello Lt.!"
Lt. LaGuerta did not approve of Deb's trash talking at the crime scene. "Morgan, cut the crap and just talk to the witnesses," LaGuerta yelled. "Dexter, what did you gather?" He quickly got up from his kneeling position and pointed down the alley.
"The victim was already stabbed when he came down the alleyway.
He was chased: I can tell by the way the blood hit the ground and from the multiple foot prints in the blood trail. When the alley came to the dead end, the murderer shot him in the neck right around here, judging by the blood splatter on the wall," Dexter explained.
LaGuerta looked at him and said, "I expect the full report by tomorrow." As Dexter walked back to the yellow tape, she started to shake her head in disgust at the victim's furry lifeless body.
