WHEN Detective Lewis reached the scene, the body was already gone.
The coroner's team had to transport the victim as soon as they finished the first round of documentation. That was standard procedure. What was left now was the preserved scene itself. Small markers sat on the ground where evidence had been found. Portable lights stood around the empty lot where the body had been discovered. A few officers still moved carefully along the edges, collecting trace material and taking pictures of everything.
The location was part of the old factory district on the edge of Greyhaven. Most of the buildings in the area had been abandoned years ago when the city's industrial sector collapsed.
Lewis stood near the edge of the evidence markers. He held his Terminal open in front of him.
A high-resolution image of the victim's body filled the screen.
