[EVENT] He didn't make it.

...

[At the bottom of a staircase lies one last body, crumpled in a heap on the ground. He looked bruised, some joints twisted a little this way and that-probably as a result of falling down the stairs. His eyes were still wide open in fear- and his body was still warm.

Upon further inspection, one could see that he was missing his left hand- his arm lays on the ground, blood covering his labcoat. He's turned as such so that you can't quite notice, but it looked like his shirt was slashed open, and there's something on his stomach- you won't be able to see until you move him]




[And ghost!Hal? He's in the corner of the staircase, huddled in a ball, shaking. Maybe he finally got what he deserved for all his sins.]




[[I had to post this now since I'm going to be out for a good chunk of the day. Sorry guys. >:]]

[Listens to her on the radio while staring at the body.]

Y-yes... I am at the scene now. W-where did you find the hand?

[He's feeling a bit not hungry as well at the moment.]

[patrolwithboobs.livejournal.com]

Dammit...that's the last of the bodies on the list then.

[sigh]

I found it...in the freezer. That pretty much killed any appetite I did have.

[Grimaces at the hand.]

Stay where you're at. I'll bring the hand to compare to the victim.

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

The freezer?! ...Ah-All right. I will wait here.

[Wouldn't admit it, but hopes she comes quickly.]

[patrolwithboobs.livejournal.com]

[Quickly making her way through the halls, resisting the urge to flip off of the walls along with way (considering she was carrying a hand), she finally arrived at the scene where the body was found. She nodded in greeting to Alek before looking down at Otacon's corpse. Bringing the hand to the severed portion of the arm, she confirmed the hand's owner.]

[sighs]

Is this the last murder? Or are there more to come?

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

[Smiles in relief on her arrival.]

I do not know... I hope it is the last.

[Looks back and forth between the body and the hand, suddenly feeling very sick. Images of all the bodies are rushing through his mind.]

I think I will just go to the-

[Puts a hand to his mouth as he retches, then quickly runs out of the room.]

[patrolwithboobs.livejournal.com]

[Watching Alek run out of the room, Natalia goes after him.]

Alek, what's wrong?!

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

[He couldn't make it to the bathroom and is now doubled over, being sick all over the floor.]

Ugh...

[patrolwithboobs.livejournal.com]

[Natalia watched without much of a reaction as Alek vomited on the ground. Huh. He must not have been too experienced on the battlefield...but Natalia had seen a lot of those in the past eight years.]

You can go, if you want. You've done good. Go get some rest...I'll keep investigating.

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

[Silently wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, unbelievably embarrassed that Natalia just witnessed that.]

I am fine. Don't mind me. Just some food poisoning.

[patrolwithboobs.livejournal.com]

[Natalia shrugged as Alek wiped his mouth off. She wasn't fooled by his explanation, but she knew as a fellow soldier, she wasn't going to be able to convince him that she had the situation covered.]

Alright, if you say so.

[Looking at the number on the body, Natalia gave up on trying to figure out if there was some kind of code in the numbers.]

I don't suppose you've come up with any other leads?

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

[After a minute he walks up beside her, attempting to just avoid looking at the body all together.]

Ah, no. Nothing. But if he is the last one... will the murderer leave or want to claim credit for this?

[patrolwithboobs.livejournal.com]

...I don't know.

[Stares idly at the body.]

None of this makes any sense at all. It seems like a sick and twisted kind of game, but I can't figure it out.

[She sighs and finally turns away from the body.]

I guess the best we can do is to cooperate with anyone else who might have any leads on the murders.
