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!"

"Though it might have been the talking that really got them." Billy said. "So, uh, I'll make my way down the list I guess. Time and cause of death?"

"Ten pm. And the fire makes it impossible to tell what the cause of death was." Faithful promptly responded. "And my talking is not annoying."

"I didn't say you were annoying." Billy said. "I meant that people not from Fandom might have a very strong reaction to a black talking cat. As in freaking out. Toxicology?"

Faithful smirked. "I keep my mouth shut then. And there were two doses of sleeping pills found inside me."

"Two doses? Unless someone's really stupid I'd say there's definately a homicide here. Any other injuries?"

"There was some sticky residue on my fur." Faithful pointed with a paw under a bed. "Grab a bag from there unless you want your sample to have claw marks in it."

Billy grabbed the bag. He wondered what this would turn out to be.
