[QUOTE="talien, post: 4900500, member: 3285"] [b]Future/Perfect: Part 6 – The Feds Take Over[/b] Moreno came sheepishly into the jail cell where Hammer had been held prisoner. He handed him his Glock, cistron, badge, and wallet back. "Sorry about that," said Moreno. Hammer shrugged. "You were just doing your job. Happens all the time." They walked to debriefing room. "What do we have so far?" Moreno pulled out a file filled with pictures and autopsies. He laid it out on the table. "The homicide detail has been significantly increased," said Moreno. "We think we've established a pattern over the years of killings since 2000: the first victim was Nathaniel Moore, a laborer for the Elberton's water department. On the day of the murder, Moore was working on a portion of leaking sewer at the Elberton Granite Museum & Exhibit." "I'm familiar with it," said Hammer. "Year ago, Moore called from the museum to his supervisor, indicated that the repairs were not totally complete but that he was leaving for the day. That was last Moore was heard from."
