Title:Endings.

multi-chapter.

Summary:The previews all say "someone will die, but not who you think." So, here are my guesses as to who the canidates are.

Chapter One:

title:What Benson Found.

summary:Even on vacation, weirdness follows Det. Benson around.

She may've been on vacation, but she was still the first officer on the scene of the disaster...by about thirty seconds. "Detective Benson," she introduced herself, "from New York."

"Detective Schoff," he replied, looking from her to the scene as it stretched out before them, "local."

The red-brick building had expensive glass fronting the toy store to Benson's left. In front of her was bare brick wall, naught but brick and mortar there...and a jumbled pile of stuffed animals on the narrow sidewalk and edge of the street, with a human body underneath, the arm and head visible if you craned your neck. The upper floors were used as a warehouse, where the toys would be stored until there was room for them in the store proper. "By the looks of it," Schoff said, "they weren't stacked well, the window was unlatched, and the wind blew the wrong way. Or there's foul play at work," his tone suggesting he drew considerable amusement from naming the possibilities.

"I don't care if they are teddy bears," Benson said. "This just screams 'wrongful death.'"

Schoff nodded. "Definately. Question is, was he the intended target, or did the bears take a tumble at the wrong time?"

"You mind if I help you with this case?"

"I'd be delighted."

Once forensics showed up, they learned that the victim had a wallet on him...his name, it turned out, was Marcus Pacella. Benson grimaced when she saw who his current employer was: Homeland Security. Great, more Feds.

author's note:remember Marco said "it's kinda cool" when talking about his prophesied death? eg
