Forensic Science - 3/14 - 5th Period

Abby was pouring over a notebook at a lab table when the students entered. "John, Parker, Zero, Will, Billy, Lana and Hermione all have perfect attendance. Lucas already talked to me about his absence. Everyone else should come see me and have a reason for their absences or a bribe for your teacher."

"Now, today we're going to be working on identifying bodies where there's not much left to the bodies." Abby turned on the overhead to show a skeleton. "Due to method of murder, you're not always able to find fingerprints or identify by facial features. Sometimes you need to use other methods to identify the victim."

Abby gave a lecture on how to identify skeletons and teeth, showing pictures and x rays. Opening the door to the crime scene, Abby grinned at the students. "Let's get to the fun part."

A half collapsed garage stood on a grassy lawn, one wall torn apart and laying in pieces of shrapnel along the ground. "This is the final resting place of two people. Early this morning a pipe bomb went off and destroyed this building and killed the two people inside of it. There wasn't a lot left, so it's up to you guys to find a way to identify the remains and match them up with a file in missing persons. Also, here's a hint, make sure the injuries to the bodies match the injuries consistent with an explosion."

Abby glared at the garage. "There'll be pieces of a skeleton that you'll have to find. The other "dead" body," Abby used finger quotes here. "Is being a big pain and refusing to wear my really nifty skeleton t-shirt. So just pretend Miley is all burned and exploded."

Rikku grinned. "Yum, cookies! Sorry, I talk fast. I get all excited and bounce. I'd make a bad dead person. Well, fake, anyway."

She scribbled down info. "Let's see, it was ... oh! Yeah. Any nifty injuries? Bits of evidence that are cool? And what exactly did you die from?" She waved vaguely. "I mean, it's from the explosion, but what exactly?"

"Whoa. That's probably gonna be gross, huh?"

"I'm sure you'd be a fine dead person." Miley said, not really sure if that was a compliment or not. "Actually, I didn't die from the explosion. My neck was broken beforehand."

"But my body got all messed up in the explosion. Broken bones, burns, bruises and bits of me got exploded all over the place. My teeth are in a jar over there for matching up with records."

Rikku shuddered. "Whoa. You were dead before? That makes it seem all, like, sinister."

She noted the teeth. "Thanks! How do you like being dead, anyway? Er, fake?"

"It's kinda boring." Miley shrugged, poking at the metal over her legs. "I really think that dead people should be getting extra credit or something."
the_merriest: (confused now)

Rikku blinked at the girl. "Extra credit? You're not in this class, are you?"

"Well, no." Miley said. "But...she could let one of my teachers know and they could give me extra credit."

Rikku giggled. "Good luck with that."
