After taking a late lunch break from the office, Selma is walking past an alleyway on Decateur street, near the St Louis Cathedral. Turning up St Peter Street, she happens by an alleyway between two buildings with the move foul stench she has ever come across in her life wafting out from an errant breeze.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 2:55:37 PM)
*She looked down the alley way and covered her nose as she gagged.. It reminded her of that fucking stadium full of human fesis and such..*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 2:57:42 PM)
This time of the day, the heat and humidity make it seem like the scent is a spice in the very air she breathes, where she has to keep her mouth closed to keep from tasting it.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 2:58:31 PM)
*She kept her mouth closed her eyes watered she looked around as she grabbed her cell phone and moved down the alley.. cringing*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:04:13 PM)
Before she gets 15 feet down the alleyway, she comes across the screaming face of a woman, her arm outstretched towards the end of the alley that Selma just came from, knife clutched in it. The face of the woman is twisted into lines of rage and agony, but the gaping hole in her chest where her heart had obviously been ripped free, along with the greenish blue color of her skin, shows that she is quite undeniably dead.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:08:50 PM)
*She dialed the number.. Stareing in disbelif.. First was a 911 call.. as she was looking nervously around the alley..*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:09:32 PM)
"911 dispatch, fire, medical or police emergancy?"

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:10:55 PM)
Police emergency.. Alleyway on Decateur street near St. Louis Cathedral, I would like to report a Homocide My name is Selma Nelson Please send help.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:12:03 PM)
(selma has worked with the police before in a counciler compasity)

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:13:45 PM)
*Her voice sounds shaken up and she keeps looking around seeing the woman looked dead for a long time did not help her not be creeped out that a phsyco could be far enough away. She reassured herself mentaly that this was not a time to panic.. This was not the first time she had seen death but this was not the gresome image she was accustom to either*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:18:10 PM)
"Understood, ma'am. Please remain calm. There is a patrol car already on its way to your location. Please take yourself somewhere well-lit and out in the open, and make sure you do not touch anything. The officers will be there shortly. Would you like me to remain on the line with you until they get there?"

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:24:39 PM)
*She was allready moving back out of the alley quickly and she responded..* I will need to cancle my appointment with a client so I will wait for the officers but need to get off the telephone.. *When she reached outside the alley she moved towards the street a bit to take a breath of air..*I am outside the alley by the street it is well lit here by the blazeing sun ..

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:27:52 PM)
*she waits for the woman to say it is okay to hang up now or not*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:29:27 PM)
"Alright. You can hang up the phone. The police are just a couple of blocks away." The dispatcher disconnects the call. A few moments later, a police cruiser rolls up, lights flashing, but siren off. Doors open and an older cop climbs out. He plops his hat onto his head and wanders over, peering at Selma. "Did you just call for the police?" His name badge readS "Carroll", and behind him a much younger man climbs out of the car, mimicking the older man with his hat.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:30:21 PM)
*When the woman hung up Selma had hit speed dial and was lifting the phone to her ear by the time the cop car pulled up..*

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:31:43 PM)
*She looked at the badge then to the younger man as well she nodded her head and motioned over her shoulder with her free hand pointing at the alley way with a face that read she did not want to see what ever was down that alley again.. they could likely smell the fucking stench of it.*

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:32:34 PM)
Yes Officer Carroll I am the one who called 911 about the dead corpse in the alley behind me..

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:34:57 PM)
This is the Alleyway on Decateur street near the St.Louis Cathedral.. *She looked at the street sign to make absolutely sure*

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:35:34 PM)
*Then as if someone picked up on the line she spoke* Ohh are you there officer Johnson?

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:36:10 PM)
Ohh I will see you then Officer Johnson..

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:36:15 PM)
He quirks an eyebrow at her, then sighs and looks heavenward, murmuring a soft prayer. Finally, he turns to look over his shoulder. "Melvin, get the tape and call for backup and the techs. We have another one." Turning back to Selma, he gently cups her elbow with his hand and steers her over towards the cruiser. "Man, why don't you sit down out of this heat? I'm sure that some of the officers will need to ask you questions when they get here..." As he was talking, she could hear Melvin speaking into the radio, requesting CSU techs as well as additional officers to help secure the scene. Once he finishes, the younger man races around to the trunk and grabs a huge roll of tape, shoving his booted feet into a pair of booties so as not to contaminate the scene, then quickly begins the task of roping off the area, making sure that there is enough extra room around the body so that no one can get too close.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:38:53 PM)
*She was led to the cruiser.. She looked at the officer as he led her closer to his vehical and she gazed at it.. Remembering the last time she was actualy seated in one.. She looked back at the officer and allthough she wanted to inhale a deep breath she most certainly did not want to inhale that stench along with it.. So she waited for him to open a front or back door so she could get into the cool vehical and away from the stench*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:40:23 PM)
Opening the back door of the cruiser on the street side of the car, he holds it for her so she can sit down. "Please understand, this is just a precaution, but I am going to have to close the door, ma'am. The AC is still running, you are not under arrest, nor are you in any kind of trouble." He leans down and peers at her face. "Are you going to be ok?"

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 3:41:32 PM)
*pulling up to the scene, adam gets out of the car, leaving his cruiser in front of the church as he walks around to the alleyway. in full blues, the beat cop is there to help secure the scene. but first, he goes to the other squad car at a rapid walk to make sure selma's alright*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:43:36 PM)
Hearing the footsteps, the other officer looks over. Upon seeing who it is, he straightens and a look too fast to decipher passes through the man's eyes. His name plate reads "Carroll". "Officer Johnson... what a pleasent surprise..."

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 3:44:35 PM)
*he nods* I was in the area so I was responding. What are we securing?

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:45:49 PM)
*she looked into his eyes and smiled at him.. nodding her head* yes sir I am fine I understand..

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:47:49 PM)
He smiles gently down at Selma and helps her into the car, closing the door with a soft click to prevent further stress on the young woman. "Apparently, we got another body. And they're already screaming that the media's caught wind of it, so be on your toes. They got me off-guard at the last scene and got evidence from me thanks to that bitch Jessica. I don't know if you've been watching the news lately, but those asshole vultures have already given this sicko a cute-sy name. 'The Lily Killer', they're calling him."

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 3:48:45 PM)
*he nods and cranes his neck to look down the alley* Anyone touch it?

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:51:33 PM)
He shrugs. "I don't think she did. She seems rather upset about it, but you can bet her footprints are there. The techies are gonna wanna process her when they get here." He turns and looks up the street, sighing with relief as the CSU van appears around a corner... then bites off a blistering curse when he spies another van with the tell-tale markings of WWL-TV Channel 4 close behind them. "We're about to have a clusterfuck. You stay out here and make sure that the girl who found it is kept away from them. If you can, get her outta here and back to the precinct. The techs can do their whoo-doo voodoo shit there."

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 3:52:34 PM)
I'll take care of the media. *he says with a nod. looking to selma in the car, he tries to give her a reassuring smile through the window*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:56:03 PM)
He nods curtly, then turns and heads off down the alleyway to help the other officer finish roping off the area. Within moments, the CSU van pulls up and two people spill out of it, grabbing cases and walking with heads ducked down against their shoulders, making the perverbial beeline towards the alley. Almost as soon as they appear, a slim woman in a pristine white linen business suit jumps out of the other van and races over to them with a tape recorder, screaming questions. Before she can get anything out of them, they disappear behind the car and duck under the tape, vanishing down the alley. Thanks to fast-thinking, the cardoor beside Selma was blocked almost entirely by the tech's van, effectively keeping her out of the eyes of the media

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 3:57:30 PM)
*adam walks to the reporters with his hands on his duty belt. a smile on his lips as he makes his way to them* Sorry guys, this is a closed crime scene. You'll have to stand behind the caution tape and away from the cars please!

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 3:59:17 PM)
*he takes out his phone and taps a few keys before putting it in his pocket, waiting for the flood of media to attack him*

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 3:59:41 PM)
*she was thankful for the van being in the correct place.. She hunkered down a bit she could not belive the media arrived.. who the hell called them? She had only called 911 and adam.. *

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 3:59:41 PM)
The woman with the tape recorder gets a feral look in her eyes and waves her cameraman over, immediately sticking a mic into Adam's face. "Officer Johnson, the Hero of New Orleans! What a wonderful surprise to see you here. Can you give us a comment? Is this another victim of the Lily Killer? Have they discovered which species of lily was left at this scene? The previous victims were all posed, how was this one staged?"

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:00:20 PM)
*she hunkered down looking at her cell phone when she felt it vibrate..*

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:02:12 PM)
I can't give any details. All we can say right now is there is a homicide investigation right now and when we get solid details, we will provide them in a way that doesn't jeapordize the investigation or put anyone at risk.

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:06:11 PM)
"Oh, come on, Officer, give us /something/! Your adoring fans aren't just going to let us get away with saying that there's been another murder and not giving them anything. Just a yes or no answer: Was it another young woman?"

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:07:08 PM)
I can't say yes or no. The scene is being secured by CSU at the moment and all evidence is being collected.

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:09:19 PM)
She gestures at the camera for a moment, then glares up at him. "Officer Johnson, let me remind you that you owe your fame to the diligent work of my station. All I am asking is for a god-damn soundbite. The masses are absolutely petrified because of the bangup job my associate did with the initial story and I am just trying to give the station some sort of damage control. You don't have to tell the truth, just give me something I can put together... Please..."

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:11:44 PM)
*he looks at her with a glare* You've got a hell of alot of nerve trying to take credit for me doing my job, lady. *he points to the squad car* I have a woman in shock because of what she saw and you want a soundbite. Get out of here before you impede a police investigation.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:12:32 PM)
*the woman in the car was certainly hunkered down out of view from any cammeras*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:16:29 PM)
Her attention immediately shifts to the car, as well as the cameraman's aim. He mashes a few buttons on the camera as he walks closer, angling the viewport to get any shot possible while she smirks up at him. "Thank you, Officer. That's all I needed to hear." With a mirthless chuckle low in her throat, she reached over and lays her hand on the cameraman's arm, speaking quietly to him. He nods, then shrugs at her, and the two of them walk back over to their van where she starts to set up for a regular report. When they leave, a CSU tech returns to the patrol car and eases open the door of it, to peek her head inside. She is a younger woman with long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Ma'am? I need to collect some evidence from you that you may have on your body from breaching the scene."

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:18:03 PM)
*She was hunkered down and she looked at the woman who opened the door as she whispered* can we do that at the station.. I don't want those reporters snapping pictures of me..

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:18:47 PM)
*he watches the reporters and keeps them at bay until the scene can be secured* Stay clear of the scene. This is a closed crime scene. You know the drill. 100 yards back.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:19:39 PM)
You want to take my shoes?

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:19:54 PM)
She smiles at Selma. "Sure, I don't mind. I'll see if we can get someone to run us over there right now to get you out of this mess."

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:20:17 PM)
*She smiled* thank you..

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:23:23 PM)
*after the reporters back off, he goes to securing the scene*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:24:49 PM)
She pats Selma's hand gently. "Just keep your head down while we finish with the scene. Once we're done, I'll have them clear a path through these vultures and we'll get you out of here." Turning back, she eases the cardoor open and, careful to keep from flashing the reporters anything more than an obscene amount of cleavage to distract them, she grabs her case and hurries back down the alley, pulling out her phone and speaking softly into it.

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:26:58 PM)
*she kept her head down and stayed out of view as best she could of any reporters letting the csi woman remove her shoes if she needed to so they would not loose any evidence.. She would wait for the time in which she would be moved to the precint.. least she was in a cool air conditioned patrol car away from the stench of the body*

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:28:32 PM)
*after making sure the reporters were clear, he checks the perimiter one last time and goes to the squad car to check on selma. sliding into the car from the other side*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:31:13 PM)
((fast-forwarding a bit)) Eventually, the coroner's van would show up, but would park down the back side of the alley, staying well clear of the reporters, who have sprung up like carnivorous mushrooms after a hard rain. They would carefully extract the body from the scene while the CSU techs walk towards the front with their evidence. One leans into the car where Adam and Selma are and whsispers softly in his ear. "Columbia Lily." Then she straightens up and walks off, climbing into the van and heading back to the scene. Once the van has cleared out of the way, Melvin and carroll both climb into the caR< Carroll behin the wheel, and they turn to look at Selma. "Are you ready? Officer Johnson, are you riding with us?"

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:32:56 PM)
*he shakes his head* I'm going to take my car. Run interference in case the press wants to follow along again. I'll meet up with you at the station. *he looks at selma* Should I pick up another pair of shoes for you?

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:35:14 PM)
Melvin looks at Carroll, who nods silently in return. "Alright, Officer. We'll run it hot and try to lose them in the streets, but I can't promise anything. How they managed to hear about the second scene, I'll never know. This one, though, they must have been listening to the scanners on. I suppose you're gonna be in on this, too, along with Detective Price?

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:35:17 PM)
*she smiled at adam* that would b e really nice of you.. *offering him a bright smile.. She lightly tapped his hand to know how much she appreciated his kindness in the short while she has known the man.. She then would not to the officer that she was indeed ready.. At least when she left the station she would have shoes on her feet.. the small things always seemed to make the woman happy*

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:37:22 PM)
I was talking to Devareux earlier. *he says with a shrug as he gets out of the car. giving selma a kiss on the cheek before he gets out. going to his car, he radios the precinct about following up on a lead to try and throw off the media so the witness can get away*

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:38:44 PM)
*cheeks a scarlet red at the kiss to her cheeks.. hideing her head once more to keep from beging seen by any nosey reporters*

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:41:34 PM)
The second the dispatch hears about the lead, the media vans all scramble like ants during a thunderstorm. Carroll and Melvin make sure that Selma is well hidden, then speed out of the vicinity, coming within a hair of hitting one of the media vans. The driver climbs out and starts screaming obsceneties at the retreating car before getting back into the van and watching Adam intently. It almost seems like the media is watching him like a cat watching a mouse, wanting to see which way he will go so they can give chase.

SerenePrincess (May 23, 2011 4:42:58 PM)
((Selma, i will be on later tonight, and of course tomorrow... all i need you to do is BB what information you gave to the police *because you can always withhold information from them, if you choose*... Adam, when i next see the both of you online, you should have an FPM in your inbox with more information that will have been forwarded to you from the CSU's office.))

Selma Nelson (May 23, 2011 4:43:22 PM)
(ok)

Adam Johnson (May 23, 2011 4:43:23 PM)
