The night after.

'Hmm.'

Yuu adjusted her scarf as she stood in the early after morning glow of the parade, just in front of Babylon. Winter had seemingly moved in and settled into the metropolis, sending a nasty chill up her nylon legs. The street cleaners had come out in full force on the uptown boulevard, all but the surrounding blocked off parameter around the strip club and its neighbor, Club Eternity. There were crime scene investigators in their jump suits with the letters CSI printed on the back, shields in front. Yuu noticed that no one was smoking.

A detective walked up to her and opened up his small notebook. Twenty four year old female found in the alleyway between Babylon and the building over. Throat slit from ear to ear, the M.E. eyeballing it says it was from the front, not behind and it starts from her right ear to left, so presumably a rightie. One witness, proprietor John Do. No description.

Yuu thanked the detective who walked off again. They would be submitting a list of patrons from both Club Eternity and Babylon to her later that day. Interesting parties will be invited down to her office for round two of questioning. It was going to be a long day.

Wrapping her coat tighter around her, Yuu mumbled to no one in particular.


'Not sorry I missed this party.'
