Orphans & Kings
Ringing
Both Squall and Fujin ignored the ringing for several minutes before Squall got up and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Silence. "Yah, we'll be there." He hung up the phone and ripped the blankets of Fujin's half-sleeping form. She screamed.
"DON'T DO THAT!!!!!!!!" Squall snickered and told her that Cid had arranged for them to meet a Kai Hikari at the City Police Department.
"What do you people have against the idea of sleeping in?" She mumbled and yanked out a pair of tight jeans and searched through Squall's bag, taking his black tank top and putting it on.
"That's mine." "That would be the general point." "Did I say you could wear it?" Squall asked, raising a brow.
"Did I ask?" Fujin went into the bathroom, put on her contacts and fixed her hair. When she came out of the bath room Squall was already dress in black jeans and a dark red cut off shirt. She pulled on her steel-toed boots and walked out the door. Squall followed her and the two made their way in silence to the P.D.
"We're here to see Kai Hikari, we're working on the homicide cases." Squall told the lady at the desk, who seemed as though she really couldn't care less who they were there to see or why.
"Down the hall, last room on the right." Squall thanked her and Fujin rolled her eyes as they found Kai's office.
"Hello Mr. Hikari, where the detectives on the homicide cases. I'm Jade Morgan and this is my partner Emmie Jones." The two men shook hands and then Kai's blue eyes fell on 'Emmie'. He kissed the back of her hand and smiled.
"My pleasure, Ms. Jones. Are you two together or. . ." Squall was about to say no when Fujin intertwined their fingers and sidled up next to him.
"Yes we are." Kai's disappointment at hearing this was brief and he handed them the case files.
"You'll want to talk to the mortician, Dr. Aveki Teiuq. She'll have more information on the murders." Squall nodded and the two left.
"What was that about in there?" He hissed when they were out of the buidling. She growled.
"I didn't like the way he looked at me. It was creepy. He is creepy." Fujin told him pointedly. The two drove to the Morgue in silence.
"We're here to see Dr. Teiuq." The man at the counter told them what room she was in and let them go.
"What do you think we're in for on this case?" Squall asked quietly. Fujin remained silent for a moment then spoke.
"Oh gee I don't know, maybe he'll come to us and let us turn him in." She snapped.
"We have four murders already 'Jade'! He's an insane psycho murder on a rampage, what should I expect?!" Squall threw up his hands and knocked on Dr. Teiuq's office door.
"Oh, hello. Come in. I'm Dr. Teiuq." The woman led them to a small table with one of the victim's on it.
"This is the most recent one. A one Joan Thompson." Dr. Teiuq flung back the sheet and Fujin resisted the urge to hurl. The body was brusied and cut open.
"Well, it's rather interesting. Various organs were missing, signs of suffocation and a struggle, but nothing at the crime scene, the victims life or even on or in the victim herself hints as to why she was killed. Though the interesting thing is that all the victims were close friends and all were expecting." Squall raised a brow.
"Expecting what?" Fujin rolled her eyes and stepped on his foot. He grimaced and clenched his jaw.
"Expecting a baby." The Dr. told him, wondering how anyone didn't know what expecting meant.
"Do you have the police files? We'd like to see them." The Dr. Handed them a thick stack of the cases. Evidence, pictures, bio's, everything the police had gathered so far.
"Thank you Dr. Teiuq." Fujin smiled sweetly and the Dr. nodded.
"No problem, come back anytime if you need something." The two nodded and left. Once out to their rental car, Fujin flipped through the files and immediately wished she hadn't. The pictures were in full color and more then horribly graphic.
"Would it be completely awfully if I said I was hungry?" She asked Squall, who'd declined to look at the photo's.
"No, I'm sure the cops who take the pictures do the same thing." He told her, yet somehow, this wasn't reassuring.
