Chapter Two

It was October 29th when the posters appeared in the offices of the LVPD advertising auditions for the year's Christmas Pantomime. It promised to be fun; it promised to be a laugh; and it promised, this year, to turn panto preconceptions on their head!

Warrick Brown was the first member of the Crime Lab graveyard shift to spot the poster and he was immediately intrigued.

He had seen last year's pantomime and it had been an excellent production. Turning 'panto preconceptions on their head' certainly sounded like this year's could be even better.

He smiled to himself, making a mental note to remember to buy a ticket when they went on sale, then he continued to the interview room that had been his destination.

… … …

Warrick's mind clearly didn't work on the same plotting and scheming level as that of Greg Sanders, who came upon the same poster thirty-nine minutes later and instantly grinned evilly.

He had been needing something good, and this fit his criteria perfectly. He swiped the poster from the wall, folded it carefully and placed it in his pocket.

Then, as the cogs of mischief turned loudly in his head, he made his way to the office of Captain Jim Brass. Stage one, underway.
