Chapter 11

Intergalactic Department of Justice headquarters on Twin Points

Olivia walked next to Trig down the corridor of the IDJ headquarters. Trig was talking to one of the IDJ officers as they traveled down to the morgue. She couldn’t help but shiver at the thought of having to identify a dead body. Please don’t let this person belong to one of my clients, she prayed silently. They stopped right outside a door marked Morgue. A tall, handsome broad-shouldered man came out to greet them. She recognized him to be a full Beastial. That made sense since Twin Points was under Beastial jurisdiction.

“Agent Trig Roberts, I’ve heard good things about you. I’m Captain Veto.” He reached for Trig’s hand but kept glancing over at Olivia. She fought the urge to fidget.

Trig shook hands. “It’s just Trig Roberts now. I’ve retired from the IDJ. I appreciate you holding off sending out the news about the victim until we arrived. This is Olivia Mann, the legal aide involved in the missing girls’ case on Venetia.”

Olivia reached out to shake the man’s hand. He was as big as Rage, the GCFA Champion, who was only half Beastial. “Thank you for your assistance, Captain.”

“I’m hoping you can help identify her. We easily checked her DNA and uncovered her species—Venetian—however, the Venetians are one of the few nations that do not have to submit their DNA identifiers to the IDJ. They keep their privacy but it makes it harder to identify criminals or, in this case, victims.”

“help convince the Venetian council to change their protocol regarding the DNA identifiers. Can we see her now?” She didn’t really want to but it was best to get it over with. She would be strong and do her job.

Captain Veto didn’t move right away, blocking the entrance to the room. “I must warn you, the victim has been cleaned up but it’s still not a pretty sight. If you would rather not see the body in person, I have pictures available.”

She knew he directed this to her because Trig would have seen dead bodies during his IDJ career. “I understand but I need to see…the body in person to give a proper identification.”

“Very well,” Captain Veto turned and walked into the room. She followed him and Trig came in behind her. The smell of the room was very sterile, like a hospital with lingering chemicals. Three of the walls were in white tile and the wall on the right was lined with small doors that she knew would contain pull-out tables holding bodies. In the middle of the room was a metal table with a sheet covering a body. She couldn’t help but gulp nervously as she slowed her steps, letting Trig move around her and go directly to the table without hesitation. She let him take the lead.

“When and where was the body found?” Trig asked, motioning for the morgue attendant to move the sheet down to reveal the body.

Captain Veto walked around to the other side of the table.
