The Deadroot Murder House, part 5

5: August 2 – I think I really stepped in it this time.  I keep telling myself I’ve got to play the game if I want to make detective, but I don’t like the rules of the game in this town.  So I keep breaking them.  This time I don’t think I knew I was breaking them.  Maybe I did, though.  Probably I did.  Anyway. . .

The Amancia Bailey case.  It’s like a sore tooth you can’t stop playing with.  The prosecution is painting this portrait of her being this cold-blooded killer who thought she coul...

Gruss vom Krampus from Gargoyle Park!

The Deadroot Murder House, part 4

July 24 – Couldn’t stop thinking about Jelkis all last night.  Didn’t get any sleep.  Part of it was me feeling bad for the guy, but there was something else that I couldn’t put my finger on.  I think I was dozing off around 4 this morning when I remembered.  The night of the Starling murder.  Me and Jelkis were securing the rest of the house.  We were upstairs, walking down a hallway, Jelkis is cracking wise about what an ugly house it is, probably they’ll bulldoze it and good riddance, that ki...

July 23 – They had to amputate Jelkis’ leg today. Craziest damn thing. He got some kind of infection in it, doctors claim they’ve got no idea what could have caused it but they said if they didn’t cut it off it was going to spread through his whole body. Craziest damn thing.

The Deadroot Murder House, part 2

July 19 – For laughs I went to Amancia’s arraignment.  Murder in the first.  Still don’t see how they’re going to get a conviction, but maybe the detectives know something I don’t.  That would be new.  But the DA seems to have a mad-on for a conviction.  She pled not guilty but they saddled her with Shorely as public defender and Judge Dune is assigned to the trial so…

Didn’t even give her bail. Doubt she’d have been able to afford it anyway, but they’re arguing she’s a flight risk becaus...

Deadroot Murder House, part 1

July 18 – Responded to an emergency call with several other units tonight, and it was a weird one.  Even for Gargoyle Park, if that gives you an idea.  I just can’t shake this one off, and not quite sure why. . .

We pull up on this old house in the Deadroot neighborhood, and I was expecting we were going to be dealing with another OD or something.  It’s Deadroot, after all.  But this is a nice house.  Too nice for Deadroot for sure.  Surprised I haven’t noticed it before.  Don’t know much abo...
