Forensic Science, Wednesday 2/14, 5th period

There were wee heart lollipops alongside the lab coats this week as the students filed into the Danger shop. Abby was sitting on one of the lab counters, her pigtails held up with bright red fuzzy ties.

"Happy Valentines Day, guys! Eat your suckers during the lecture because you are not going to want to take them into the practical this week." Grinning at the students, she clapped her hands. "This week we're going to be using the forensic skills you've learned to find out what happened at a crime scene. The only catch is that you won't be the only people there this week. You'll be dealing with other departments, people who will be in charge, people who might mess up your crime scene. As always, you want to figure how what happened to the victim, but this week you're going to learn how to deal with firemen and cops. Cooperation is key, guys. You're an important part of the team so don't let them walk all over you...but don't get too uppity. They can throw you off the crime scene. Today that'll mean you get a lower grade but in the field it'll mean that you can't do your job and evidence could get lost or destroyed while they wait for a replacement."

Passing out handouts and messenger bags to each of the students, Abby talked a little about the tools that they'd find inside. A camera for crime scene photos, several evidence bags and vials, notebook and pens, and most importantly, identification. "Crime scenes can be like circuses and being the lab geek means that not everyone at the scene will know who you are. Unless you want to be tossed into the back of a police car, keep your ID on you at all times."

Opening the door of the lab, she ushered the students through. Instead of walking into the crime scene like usual, the scene was set outdoors. They stood in front of a burnt out shell of a house, still smoking in places as NPC firefighters crawled over it. The stench of burning wood was heavy in the air as Abby directed them to three firefighters who were waiting near the front door.

"Go get 'em!"

Broots followed Pippi and tried to look at everything she pointed.

Pippi lets him know she's leading him to the bedroom where they discovered the body of a person and a cat.

Right about that time there was a creaking sound, Pippi reached out to grab the lapel of Broots' turncoat to yank him out of the way of falling debris.

Broots flailed and wound up falling back on to his butt. "Ow. Thanks. But ow."

"Don't mention it." Pippi nodded hauling him, gently, to his feet. She'd ask if he was okay, but he just said 'ow', so that pretty much covered it.

"Any questions?"

"Anything else you want to point out?"

Pippi thought over what she'd already told him; windows were open when they got here, dead person and cat in the bedroom...

"Bedroom door was open when we got in here and found the body... Dead guy was burned up in bed... But you'll see more of that when you talk to the cops."

"Sure thing. Cops are through there." she said nodding. "Watch your step and give a yell if you want me to walk ya back."
