Chapter 2

Olivia had a gut feeling that she was about to begin work on a very nasty case. It had been one of those weeks where the attacks had started coming down on them like rain during a hurricane. The whole squad knew that the attacks were being committed by the same perp, but unfortunately he was one of the smarter ones they had seen… as smart as a rapist could be anyways. As she got close to the police tape, she could see Elliot, hands in his pockets, staring at the body.

"Same thing," he declared sensing Olivia walk up behind him. Two puncture wounds in the neck, then snapped." Elliot looked at the body again, then walked away. Olivia didn't like being close to a body that… disturbing. And it took a lot to spook her these days.

"Detective!"

Olivia walked toward M.E. Warner, who had apparently found something on the body.

"Same thing," Warner said, shaking her head. "Saliva around and in the wounds, and the same insignia on her shoulder."

Olivia felt sick to her stomach, but she had to at leas finish going over the scene before she found someplace to barf.

"What is going on here doc? It all points to a guy biting girls' necks. But is it possible to leave marks like that?"

Olivia was referring to the two perfectly spaced teeth marks.

"No. Human teeth wouldn't… couldn't possibly leave marks like that. They're too perfect."

"Then what in the world could be causing these marks?"
