Connecting the Dots

The door swung open and the air-conditioning held its breath.

"Blake!"

Officer Blake searched for a sheet of names upon his crowded desk.

He entered the office and shut the door behind him.

Detective Graff was sitting back in his chair spitting tobacco.

"What do we have?"

"So, there were 67 pieces."

"Hm."

"I referenced them and found that it more or less adds up to a single female body. But there were only two fingers. And, here's the weird part, the two fingers had two different prints. One belonging to a ... miss Nila Jones of San Fracisco.. And an Isabella Sousa. Italian citizen."

"Hm."

"Yeah."

Something's missing, thought Blake.

"And?"

"Well, the DNA lab did the whole DNA thing. The rest of the body belongs to a Krystal Tumano of West Vancouver Island. She died in a car crash two weeks ago. Body was supposedly burried. And then, three other sets of prints all over the body. Johnny "pinball" Court, boyfriend, boxer. Then, a Luke Jonathan Drake, a FEDEx employee from guess which FEDEx?"

"Hm, our FEDEx."

"Our FEDEx," repeated Blake.

"And, finally, a Miss Fae-ling Rhyter. Asian girl who gets high and wears a cape."

"Hm."

Things are out of place.
