"It really is. I mean you can use it in so many expressive ways I honestly feel like more people should use it more but people act like it's terrible when you use it and I'm like what? I mean I get being respectful but I still will always mark it down as one of my favorites," he said as he nodded. "Why do you think it was that you felt sorry for him? Because of the way he died?" He was and never would be the best with his emotions but he was trying to imagine the death in his head given the position of the body and the day's conditions. Alice Seraphim

Alice did get plenty of mileage from her swearing. So could agree with Francis about what he said. She still could also split her attention between the probe searching and his posed questions. With nothing in this metre of ground she moved round further away from Francis but would eventually complete a circle before the pathologist arrived. Which probally gave them 30 to 40 minutes. By then they'd be done and awaiting a pathology report.The weather had held all day so it had been warm and sunny from sunrise. The body had been clearly dumped after that. "Oh what a scandal. Two potty mouths teamed up. I guess we'll get some kind of inventive name now but I do get what you're on about" she replied. She couldn't change the way she was but the other question was harder to answer. "Even before I got to look at him I figured it had to be a bad death. A gangland lifestyle tends not to have happy endings; not just here but worldwide. This isle has so many more causes of death than just being shot or stabbed and they're usually bad" she added quietly as she thought she had caught something else in the corner of her eye. Which meant kneeling down and giving Francis a lot of butt to look at though it was still well covered by her skirt. Something her boyfriend never complained about seeing. Francis Dominic

He eyed her when she started talking not because he was disinterested but because he was trying to focus on her words so that his power would not start forcing him to hear her thoughts. "It's a lukewarm scandal and trust me no one on this island would read about it. It's honestly not steamy enough. I mean we have the murder obviously but we do not have the torture" he said seriously. He did wonder just how much the person had been tortured if there was any however. "Every death is bad. It all comes with sadness to someone even if it is not us but this well if I can be so bold it looks like revenge murder but we will never know. I do hope that the pathologist can help us out enough." He took a good look at the body and then watched her bending over. Women were so predatory but men seemed to get the heat. "We're buying you some pants" he said. "There will be times where we might get in trouble and don't need people trying to force you into anything against your will," he said as he looked at her. "What'd you find?" Alice Seraphim

By now Alice wasn't making eye contact with Francis as she was more interested in what she thought she'd found and picked it up. "It sounds like we're making progress" she quietly mused with her brain just ticking over right now. "I'll check the cemetery and their CCTV later too" she added her mind more on the key she'd picked up. "It looks like a locker key". That limited where it might open on the isle as she used them when she had tennis lessons. Other applications were usually found in public areas. Then her brain caught up with the comments about her outfit. It felt odd he wasn't upset about the halter top and her bare arms. So she looked round at him holding the key so he could see it and raising an eyebrow. She was about to say something but thought better of it. He was partly right but pants wouldn't stop somebody who had that kind of thing on their mind. She did have suit pants suitable for the heat but they were in her laundry right now. Francis Dominic

Progress was always good and besides he liked getting the job done and people realizing that you did it and maybe in some small way made things better for yourself though he was not entirely sure that was good. He took a second. "I recall three sets of lockers," he said. "Maybe once they arrive to get the body we can start there." Fuck this world for people still loving lockers. He took a second to narrow his eyes and then spoke."What's on your mind Alice, you can just say it. I'm a tough cookie I can take it." Alice Seraphim

Alice bagged the key in another evidence bag and handed it to Francis. She'd been wearing her gloves all that time so wouldn't contaminate the key. "I use a locker when I'm taking tennis lessons. And there's not many other places for lockers as you say. That sounds like a plan" she mused. She still kept in mind that she'd have to pay a visit to the CCTV cameras once they knew a timeline of death. "Francis, is it my skirt that bothers you? I get what you mean but if anybody had thoughts like that already in their heads it wouldn't matter what I wore. I do have dressy pants but if you want you can help me pick out more at the mall later on feel free. I can deal with pastel colours too" she reasoned with a little smile on her face now she'd voiced her thoughts. Francis Dominic

Evidence was his life. Seriously and he knew that it was sad but he loved his job just a little too much and yet he knew that without this job he would be in a corner brooding somewhere and that was the last thing that he wanted. "We can head there after someone else arrives. I don't want us to get in trouble for leaving too early." They had a nice back and forth though the truth was that Francis had absolutely no idea how to handle it at times. He wanted them to have a nice partnership and he wanted them to also be able to be respectful of one another. "Oh no, I'm not bothered by your attire. You're my work partner, you can show up in a trash bag with just your head sticking out and I know that we will get the job done." He was honest. "Are you trying to start an office romance with me Alice?" he said as he looked over the key. Someone wanted something they just had to figure out how it tied into the body which he was sure that they could get into later. "You can be my work girlfriend I guess," he said as he laughed. "I expect you to always do your job though and if you find yourself over loaded, then you need to always express your emotions and thoughts which is not hard for you but." He paused and spoke. "I find that there are thoughts that even you keep to yourself hm? It's not a crime we all have shit that we need time to share." It was the worse part about being telepathic. Sometimes you heard those too, though thankfully at the moment he had not with Alice. He was not the type to pry as he seen lights in the distance. "Looks like back up has arrived." Alice Seraphim

It was a case of so far so good in this case. Alice was getting a better idea of how Francis worked by now as well as his thought processes. As she was younger than most security services staff it made sense to give her a partner who knew life better than she did. They did seem to have a working relationship at least and she found herself smiling at his humour. She nodded at his first statement and replied to the third. "I'm not Francis. I've a boyfriend already" she said confirming her relationship status. Then chuckled a little. "a work girlfriend? So when do we do the coffee and donuts?" A little joke back she had more to reply to. "I've no problem with any of that" she further added and looked round to see the vehicle with lights. "That's the pathologist. I know that white van anywhere. There are things that do stay locked away for good reasons. I didn't grow up like any normal little girl". Which was what she'd say for now. There had been enough people who treated her like a person to assist in her upbringing and those good memories softened the bad experiences; but couldn't forget those. Francis Dominic

"That's a shame," Francis said. He knew that at times he could come across one way but he just used humor to deal with things in life and he knew that would never be something that everyone else understood and that was okay. He shrugged that whole boyfriend comment off anyway, for he did not have energy for relationships, only sex which got him in trouble enough as it was. "I don't know, my work schedule is pretty packed. It seems yours is too but I can dream about it I guess," he said as he laughed again and he looked as the people got out of the van. He took in like any normal girl and growing up comment but he did not push on it as he watched them get to work. "I think we would be okay to leave now. The sooner we get to the locker the better, I will leave a note with them to make sure to send all the details to the office if you are ready?" Alice Seraphim

Alice gave Francis back a little smile to make up for his disappointment. "So we're too busy to do coffee and donuts? Its a cop tradition. Whats the world coming too?" she chuckled as the pathology team would take over now. They'd probally have the report the next day but it would be his to deal with alone as the next day was her university day release. "Ok I'm ready. Lets check out the lockers but tomorrow is my university day" she added as she picked up the investigation bag and headed to the jeep. "If you find anything out that's interesting let me know anyway on my own mobile. As long as I'm not in a lecture I'll be able to talk". She could still help out even if she wasn't with him. Having missed out on formal schooling though she did have a home schooled full education she wasn't going to miss out university as well. It wasn't just about the studying. There were so many other things you needed to experience there. Francis Dominic

He was literally shocked that she was interested in this idea of coffee and donuts. It was so cliche. "I mean we can get them next time you are at work and stop smiling at me, for fucks sake it's so weird." Nope he did not like that. It was like she was this walking happy emotion that he did not understand not that, that was a problem. It was just different. "Well I will get all the information and when you are not at university or have free time you can contact me. I'm not about getting students in trouble, though there was this one time I had this hot teacher. I would have given anything for her but that was school boy crushes, the worse kind," he said. "I'm not walking there, should we take the cop car or should we get the motorcycle. If you are not doing it death defying then you are not doing it at all but I will let you pick." Alice Seraphim

"The jeep makes more sense; so cop car it is" Alice mused back. It was a cop car in all but name after all. Coffee and donuts would happen later on and as a team they'd notice more together than apart. "I'll ring you after my last class in that case" she added as they got to the jeep and she put the investigation bag back in the boot area. You'd also find the spare tyre and other tools there along with space for rifle cases if they ever needed to bring extra firepower. She remembered what he'd said about the hot teacher but wouldn't pry but he did get a little look back. "Lead the way Francis. I used to ride a bike when I was little but a motorbike sounds like fun" she cheerfully said as she buckled up and took of her surgical gloves. She needed bare hands to drive and those gloves just felt wrong in general. He knew where to go and she would drive. Francis Dominic

Cop cars were good, amazing really and it was the one thing that he could be in and not get in trouble though Francis would never be one to speed as they got in. "Yeah that sounds good just let me know when you are free. I can respect that schooling comes first for you." He took a second and spoke. "Alright you are going to want to take a right, then stop at the light and take two lefts as soon as you can after that should get us to the lockers and we can see if we can find anything."

"I'll do that tomorrow. We still might get plenty done today" Alice mused as she started the jeep and then the directions followed. It wouldn't be a long trip but you'd long enough to notice what was going on round you. So taking the right, then two lefts along two long streets got them there without incident, Alice driving too fast or her cussing out another driver. With the cemetery being on the fringes of the town this was the suburbs or as close as this isle got to having some. Then she spied the locker place and pulled up ready to get to work again. It was more likely to be a local locker since most people wouldn't bother with taking something like this from their old life with them. Francis Dominic

He nodded in agreement and spoke. "Sounds good," he said. He did not mind coming to where the lockers were, a small part of him actually found it pretty peaceful as he got in and looked around. "Where would you like to start, on the left or the right side? I am good with either." Alice Seraphim
