C for Christmas Crime
Briscoe and Green were heading towards from what could only be described as a very strange phone call. Some odd guy kept saying something about Santa Claus was going to invade New York City and then suddenly dropped dead.
"What kind of drugs do you think this guy was on?" Green asked, still bewildered by what he was told
"Maybe LSD or something similar." Briscoe said, not too bothered due to his experience with similar incidents.
When they arrived to the scene, there was people watching and parents trying to keep their young ones from seeing the body. The body was being covered but the parents were still doing what they could to keep the kids from seeing it.
"OK," Lenny said, approaching a nearby officer, "Did someone kill him or what else happened here?"
"Uh, no, he wasn't murdered but the reason that we called you is that we needed to give you guys a heads up." He walked them up to the body and showed them why they needed to be there.
"Oh, no," Green said
"Oh, yeah," the Officer said
"It's Loren Baron, the singer/activist." Briscoe said, grimacing since the singer is a friend of several members of the Council
"Who made the ID?" Green asked
"His ID card was with him and it matches the face." The officer said with the same idea
"Oh, this is going to be fun." Lenny said, as the press would definitely love this.
