Black Widow- Black Cat
Chapter 5: Corps (Heartnet's perspective)
Sven was bent over the body. I had heard the cry of pain and in the cold wet breeze you could smell the salty smell of blood. Pools of blood littered the alley. At least two pools of blood and several smears continued to spread. I wonder who did this. I ducked to examine a bullet hole in the ground. Snorting I looked up. What a bad shot.
"Recent. The blood hasn't clotted yet so he can't be more then twenty minute gone." Sven mumbled as he looked over the body. Blood covered most of the exposed skin and ran from his head and chest. A bloody, jagged X covered most of the skin of his chest. A much resent bruise had started to rise on his cheek. He looked almost familiar but through the blood you couldn't see his face and his hair was matted with blood making another strike out in identifying him.
"A professional hit?" Eve asked as she ventured down the alley way.
"Eve." Sven looked up at her. "Stay down there. This is not something you want to see." Eve blinked at Sven but nodded then looked to me for an answer.
"It's very messy but quite possibly." I paused to think. "It looks like sword strikes." I knelt to look at the wounds. "Very deep. Quite a bit of pressure to cause this much damage."
"So you mean it wasn't that Black Widow girl?" Eve asked as she flipped open a book.
"I can't see her being strong enough." Sven mumbled looking around for more clues. I looked around the alley. If this was her then she is ruthless. It looks like he fought back from all the blood spread around.
"We need to turn him over to the police." I mumbled looking at the body. Poor sap. He looked younger then me.
