So now pre-holiday plans were made it was back to work. Crime never stopped and Blythe still had this curious case to show her. "I'll follow your lead but there are parts of slums were you have less people. You'd get a shock disposing of your garbage bag if you looked too closely" she remarked. So following Blythe they'd reach the crime scene shortly. Not that she expected to find much given how quickly a body would be picked over here. A wallet or a weapon would be the first to be lifted and then the rats would start on the meal. Blythe Mercer

She moved along just a little more but now she was wondering if she should focus more on family. This line of work had never been easy and now she was thinking that maybe she simply needed to do more and be more grateful but she was not going to think about it too much as she moved to a corner. "Ever since having my son this job is becoming more and more wild," It was crazy to think. "How is it that we are even supposed to keep it together, I have no idea but we are doing what we need and that is what will matter." The smell was rancid and the body might as well not exist. "Fucking rats!" she said. "Ate everything just about." Alice Seraphim

“I suppose it’s the same when the father is a police officer. A baby changes your world and gives you a really good reason to improve things” Alice mused just before she seen what state the crime scene was in. The rats had been busy and there wouldn’t be much for a pathologist to deal with never mind pass on to a funeral parlour. She knew that smell of decay well and she was better at dealing with it now. “My first case with my partner was a body find but it wasn’t in this state. At least the head is reasonably intact. I don’t think we’ll get fingerprints unless we’re lucky” she added. Her expression showed she disliked this as much as Blythe did as the body had nearly been consumed. She took a closer look after putting on latex gloves. No watch or wallet were there. This smelt worse than anything she’d dealt with recently. “I don’t think much was even on him when he was dumped here. Perhaps the coastline was too far away for the people involved. My pants suit is going into the laundry as soon as I get home after this” she added screwing up her face. She had barely disturbed the scene and finally turned the face over. “He died badly. You don’t need to a pathologist to figure that out”. She pointed out what remained of multiple stab wounds. The guy was barely even clothed as she checked his hands. “You’ll get some prints at least”. Blythe Mercer

As they continued along the smell got ripe but not with a delicate smell. It was rotten and like fresh decayed flesh as she reached into her pockets and pulled out a few gloves. "I think that we might need these," she said. "The crime rate or killing rate whichever it turns out to be is getting extremely out of line here lately. I will start the digging and you can turn your head if you need." Seeing his face was a sad sight. She leaned down and started the process to gather the prints and she sighed. "Poor bastard probably does not even know what hit him, figuratively or other wise." Alice Seraphim

Seeing Blythe get the prints which may or may not identify him Alice wasn’t going to let this put her off. “I think it’s slightly more a crime rate than a killing one but not by much. I think he was knifed first of all and then his clothes were taken. Blood loss probally finished him off and I’m sure stateside news would love to show of this side of the island. They like making us look bad but we have the same issues they have in city crime. We’ve got a lot less guns around so that must be a good thing?” She took a photo of his face on her phone after getting close enough. He could be anybody from a tourist to a gang member. She was right about the firearms situation as all those arms seizures had made their situation more of a knife culture. “As he could be anyone I would suggest checking all the databases on the island including the visitor ones. The last case we had the goons were barely in our records. We didn’t have anything on the mercs”. Blythe Mercer

The word gruesome was coming to mind as she turned away but then found a few bags that she could use as she talked on and more than that listened. "I am taking some time off after this case and do something fun on this island I do not care if I just came back from maternity leave just a few weeks ago. This case looks as if it's lining up to be a rough one." Alice Seraphim

Now Alice had taken the photos she needed an identity check could start. So a phone call would start this. “It will be rough but once we have an identification we’ll know what kind of case this is. We can start with homocide at least” Alice replied. “I can start by sending his photo through PD channels” she added. So Blythe figured she’d need a break. Most cops did after a case like this but you didn’t always get what you wanted. “I don’t blame you for needing a break after that. How about a mom and baby break. In fact a short break to a neighbouring island could be a good idea. You don’t have to go far” she suggested. “How about Guadeloupe? I had a case there but it wasn’t all work. You’ll have sunshine, culture and good food”. Blythe Mercer

She listened and then she laughed. "I thought you said Guacamole," she said. "However yes that sounds good so the four of us right?" She did not even know if Bryce liked to travel but she supposed that would be something that she learned which was not bad. "No cases while we are there right?" Alice Seraphim

Alice did some maths in her head when Blythe mentioned the four of us. So Blythe and her man were two. She might be one as well but where did that leave Messiah? "It's in the region but it is also part of France. I doubt you'll end up on a case while there but one of the local OSE might be upset with me. I shot the STRIFE loving piece of dog shit at the end of a raid. He sold out his own side just because Francis and myself were asked to take part in the mission. He survived but I dread what happened to him after that" she replied as the police processes continued in this disgusting case. It wasn't a mark she'd planned to leave in the area but she had the respect of the local naval marines in the area at least as well as the local police forces. "You said the four of us? Who did you have in mind?" she also posed. Blythe Mercer

"Me, You, Bryce, and Sam Roberts." She sighed. "I have to get to know more people who are of ose alignment and Sam has yet to do a job so I need to get to know her as a person and what better way than a vacation? I think it helps people honestly to be more relaxed." Alice Seraphim

Alice considered the practical aspect of this. You really shouldn’t need more than a weekend and getting the first flight out on a Friday and the last one back on the Sunday should work. Also was Messiah being looked after or coming with them. “I know Sam Roberts. She’s Lucas’ sister but you don’t need a vacation to get to know people but it is a more relaxing way of doing this. I would suggest going out with your colleagues some evening as well before this.. Perhaps dinner or a nicer bar; like the one beside the mall” Alice suggested. You’d also find the nicer restaurants and bars round the mall area as that was where the tourists who came here tended to frequent. “I took Ayden and Aurora with us on our last vacation. With my partner, his friend and Lucas” she added. “A weekend should be enough as well”. Now she phoned up the pathologists office to arrange collection of what was left of the deceased. Then made another call with the PD to report what they made found in the crime scene. This meant her photo could start the identification process off as well. Blythe Mercer

"If the bar has karaoke I think that I am already half way there," she said as she looked. "You want to come out too with us? Perhaps a kid free thing as well, and just eat and sing until we are sick of it and blow off steam." She thought that sometimes that was good but she also knew that everyone blew off steam differently. Alice Seraphim

"I can certainly say that I've not really been into singing. It would have to be a nicer bar as the Lady Chapel might work for the guys but not for the ladies" Alice mused. That was the place they'd visited as she'd reached out to her contacts in low places. "Alright then. We could make it a child free night as well" she added wondering if Bryce would even be interested. OSE guys seemed so serious if Ace Nottingham was anything to go by. Blythe Mercer

"I'll set it up, did you want to bring your partner I could see if Sam wanted to bring her..I think she is married?" She was so bad at this. "We could do it like that and might even be fun get the guys out more and see if they have any fun in them, it seems guys are harder to see that come out of rather than girls." Alice Seraphim

Alice gave this matter thought. It would be good to get Lucas out and about and getting a sitter would be fairly easy for her twins. Though since Sam's partner was Ace Nottingham and Blythe wanted to bring Bryce; they'd have a true couples night out. "I'll ask Lucas if he feels like going and he's loosening up a bit. I'm not even sure myself if Sam and Ace are married but they are a couple all the same" she replied. it wasn't as if you needed to go see a priest or a judge to make things official but she did have a plan about a wedding when her twins could walk and be part of their wedding.
