The filing cabinet shuts with a soft click and I lock it shut.
Another day and two more cases finished ... and a life. Found both kids. Even got a bonus.
"Shit!"
Yeah I found them both.
Boy was working the street. Got picked up the bus station when he arrived in town after running away from home. Cute kid, unmarked body, prime target. Found him with a John who was morethe willing to leave him in my care. Amazing what the threat of charges of sexual relations with a minor will do. Managed to hussle the kid off to a good shelter for a few days and now he is back with his Father. Dad was really greatful that I got his 'Kevin' back to him in one piece. So now all he has to worry about is school work and zits ... well that as well as the psych therapy and medical treatments for the STD he picked up. Lucky though. He's still alive.
Girl wasn't so lucky. Found her in near the main line CPR tracks not that far from downtown and had her escorted to Vancouver General ... sub basement. The locker. Coroner said she died from an "adverse reaction to the pharmeceuticials she was administered." Drugs. Wicked combination of tranquilizers and mood modifiers. He said the effect should have made her docile and should have made the worst of the pain feel like a mile high buzz. Marks on her body are consistent with sexual contact both vaginal and anal. Mom and Dad collected her body. Trace of humanity in the mother. Dad was stiff and rich. More concerned that nothing about her activities become pubically know. Might cause a red face or two back home.
"Asshole."
Well I'll say this much for him, he's an asshole who pays his bills. Dosen't want it looked into any further though. Mother wanted to see something done though. Independant minded lady that one. What she tell the asshole. Oh yeah, 'Shut the fuck up Stanely. Maybe if I had spoken up at home Jody would still be alive." Gotta like an idependant lady. Even if the case is officially closed Mom and I did have a very nice chat and a man has to do something with his off time.
And they were sloppy, both literally and figuratively. Industrial make up both facial and body including some areas that usally don't need to be masked from the spot lights. They tried to clean it up. Amazing what observant eyes and a good nose will tell you. Add that with the fun and games she was involved. Well you don't have to put two and two together here and get four.
Hmm... for some reason I have an urge to rent porn tonight. Well that is if I can find the right piece. Gotta have standards you know. Woundn't want to get some trashy piece of mindless drivel.
