When Angels Cry
Chapter 2 – No exceptions
As Seely wandered out to his car, his cell phone began ringing. "Hello," he said into the mouthpiece. He was informed there were 4 bodies found outside some bar. He got into the driver's seat and headed to the scene.
When he arrived he was nervous because he had never dealt with a quadruple homicide. He got out of the vehicle and headed towards the bodies. Suddenly he felt searing pain in the back of his neck, everything went black and his body crumpled to the ground. "Officer down, Officer down…" Everyone in the area was frantic.
Jordan, Nigel and Slokum arrived on scene. "What is going on?" Slokum asked one of the cops near by. "One of our detectives was just shot in the head. We don't know why he was the one the killer was aiming at because there were plenty of cops on scene. Anyway you folks can't be here right now its too dangerous."
"Which one?" Jordan asked. "Detective Seely."
"Oh no," Jordan said and Nigel stared at her in disbelief. "Well you're rather distraught over this, I thought Lily was the one who liked Seely." Nigel said.
"Lily agreed to go on a date with him tonight, this will break her heart." Jordan said.
Nigel looked at his watch it was 4:45. "Well she'll be leaving the morgue in 15 minutes. I guess one of us will have to go to her house after we get the bodies into the morgue."
"I'll go," Jordan said, "I think it would be better if she hears this from me."
"Jordan maybe I should go with you, for moral support," Nigel said.
"Excuse me, we are at a murder scene I don't think either of you need to plan your evenings. Now we need to get all 5 bodies back to the morgue and we shall begin the autopsies tonight. Now which one is on the double shift tonight."
"Bug is," Jordan said.
"Well I want you and Dr. Townsend to stay for an extra 2 hours. I'll have you both paid over time and a half. This is a very important case." Neither one said anything, for Garret they would have stayed overtime without being paid but for Slokum they decided against it.
"Fine but we are leaving at 7 no exceptions," Jordan said.
"I may not be Dr. Macy, but I know if he were here the both of you would remain all night trying to solve this case. He told me that is how you guys are. Can you at least try to help me out?"
"No if you were Dr. Macy, you would let us go to Lily and inform her that her new boyfriend was just shot. You would also no yell at me for being late from lunch because I was visiting my best friend in the hospital. A best friend that may never walk again. So excuse me if I can't get over enthusiastic at helping you out when you have done nothing to help out myself or anyone else in the morgue."
"Dr. Cavanaugh I don't think now is the time to discuss this. Let's just get started."
Jordan and Nigel helped round up the bodies after photographing evidence and surveying the scene. Then they got into their vehicles and headed back to the morgue.
