Step Two: Finding a Dead Body was NOT on the Agenda
Meredy Flynn-Granger was hurriedly packing three year old Owein's bag for daycare. She made sure that Owein had plenty of changes of clothes, then she looked around to find his blanky that his Uncle Don had given him when he was a baby. Finally she popped a banana and orange in his bag for morning and afternoon snack – lunch was provided for them, along with his drink bottles. Her husband, Colby came running down the stairs and flew into the kitchen. He stole a piece of toast right out from under her nose.
"Hey! That's Owein's toast, Cole," she growled at him.
"Owein's still enjoying the other piece you gave him. How many has he had now?"
"He's had three, that would have been his fourth," Meredy answered. "If you'd come down earlier you would've been able to have some, too."
"You were hogging the bathroom for ages! I don't know how and why you can spend so much time in the bathroom," Colby complained.
"A girl's gotta look good while she works," she replied.
"Daddy!" Owein greeted, waving to Colby.
"Hey, Little Buddy," Colby answered, kneeling beside his son and giving him a kiss on the forehead. "You've got more in your hair and on your clothes then in your mouth, kiddo."
Colby's phone rang and he answered it, "Granger."
"Colby, it's Don. A dead body was discovered in a warehouse. So after you drop Owein off at daycare come straight down here, don't bother going to the office," Don told him and gave him directions. "Where's Meredy and how come she didn't answer her cell?" Don asked.
"Meredy's packing Owein's bags and probably didn't hear it," Colby answered, running his fingers through Owein's sandy blonde hair.
Meredy threw a damp cloth at him and Colby caught it, then proceeded to wipe his son's face and hands. Colby finished by wiping Owein's front and put him down on the floor.
"Talk to Unca Don?" Owein looked up at Colby, with his left hand outstretched for the cell phone.
Colby looked down into miniature replicas of his own eyes. Owein could hear his uncle's voice and recognized it. Colby had been told that Owein resembled him a lot by many people.
Colby passed the cell to Owein. "Unca Don!" The boy squealed with delight.
"Hey, Little Buddy, you getting ready for school?" Don asked him.
"Go to school. Mom and Dad go to work with Unca Don."
"That's right, smarty pants. You have fun, okay? And when you grow up you can be a G-man like Daddy and Mommy and Unca Don okay. Now can you put Daddy back on, please?"
Owein handed the phone back to Colby, then disappeared; chasing after Salem, their Norwegian Black Forest cat. The boy had found his blanky somewhere and he clutched it as he chased the cat, laughing happily.
Meredy helped Colby with his tie as he chatted with Don, getting the rest of the details on the scene. When he was finished Colby closed the phone and slid it back into his pocket. Meredy and Colby shared a kiss. They heard Owein laughing from the living room and then watched as the cat streaked past them with Owein hot on its tail. Colby raced after Owein, picked him up and swung him in the air several times. Owein giggled hysterically which made both parents smile.
"Okay, let's get to school," Meredy said cheerfully, trying to get them back on track.
Meredy grabbed her hand bag and Owein's school bag. She also grabbed Owein's sleeping kit that consisted of sheets, blanket, pillow and a small teddy bear given to him by Uncle Charlie and Aunty Amita.
"Bit like a circus when we leave," Colby commented.
Meredy snorted as Colby locked the front door. "Ya think?" she asked.
"Circus," Owein agreed, nodding his head in agreement.
Meredy rolled her eyes at the pair. "Like father, like son," she commented, pointing at the two of them.
"My daddy," Owein said hugging Colby, glancing at Meredy from under his lashes.
"No, mine," Meredy teased, tickling him.
"Mine!" Owein said more fiercely, but ended up laughing instead as his mother tickled him, holding tightly to Colby.
Colby laughed. "I'm driving," he told Meredy, as he put Owein in his car seat.
"You always drive. There's nothing wrong with my driving. I never get to drive," Meredy complained, putting Owein's stuff on the seat beside him.
"Daddy drive," Owein told her pointing at Colby, as Colby buckled him in.
"Who can argue with that logic?" Colby told her.
Meredy sighed. "I never get to drive anymore," she whined as she climbed into the passenger seat. Colby leaned through the open door and kissed her then shut the door for her before going around and getting in on the driver's side.
"Yuck," Owein pronounced.
Colby and Meredy laughed as Meredy turned to face Owein. "Not yuck," she said.
It didn't take them long to drive to the day care where Owein went. Colby and Meredy spent a few minutes there signing him in and chatting with staff. They felt a little odd carrying their weapons into the center. Owein had been going there since he was a baby and the staff knew Meredy and Colby quite well. The staff was aware they were Federal Agents and weren't bothered by the two parents being armed. Then they said goodbye to Owein and headed for the murder scene.

When they arrived at the murder scene they were met by Don and David. "Hey, Meredy and Colby," Don and David greeted them as they walked up to the scene.
"Hey," Colby and Meredy replied.
"What do we have?" Meredy queried, putting on some gloves.
"The cut-up body appears to be a white male in his thirties. We don't have ID on him yet," David replied.
Don led them into the warehouse and showed them where the body was located. The body had been cut up in some sort of ritual and the removed body parts such as arms and legs had been placed in locations around the body. Large white duck feathers surround the body in a pentagon shape and the same shape was carved into the victim's chest by something sharp. The room was dark and there were no windows for anyone to see in or to see out. It smelt damp musty inside the warehouse. Along the walls were banners of blue, white, and light green with the pentagon symbol in red on cotton fabric.
"Oh my gosh, what happened in here?" Meredy exclaimed, glancing around her taking in the crime scene.
There was blood everywhere. Written around the body were symbols or some sort of written text that she didn't know how to read. She went to have a closer look at the body and nearly vomited from the smell. There were people all around her taking samples, taking photos, taking notes etc. Meredy could hear people talking all around her either to each other or via cell phone.
"Looks like he's been through a blender," Colby commented.
Meredy put her hand up near her nose to block the smell. She looked over at Colby and crossed her eyes at him. "Only you would think of something like that at a time like this. You haven't changed one bit," she told him. Colby handed her some Vicks for the smell without saying a word. She smiled and accepted gratefully. As much as he teased her and made comments, he really didn't want to see her unable to do her job. It was only the really brutal scenes that still got to her and even his stomach was rolling. He was really glad he'd only had time to have only one piece of toast this morning.
"He's the same man you married and I doubt he'll ever change," David cut in, grinning at the pair.
Don shook his head at them. "Let's have a look around and see what clues the killer left behind."
"Apart from the fact that he likes milkshakes?" Colby commented, kneeling down next to Meredy, who slapped the back of his head.
"You are a sick bastard, you know that? I am never going to look at a milkshake the same way again," she said.
"Come on, you two, quit your bickering. Anyone would think you were married," Don told them. Meredy stuck her tongue out at her brother in reply. The bickering and morbid humor had helped to settle them though and there were able to approach the scene with more detachment.
Other than the strange writing and the pentagon symbols displayed everywhere they didn't find any evidence of who the victim was or who had committed the crime. Don had the crime scene photographer take photos of the scene and of the strange languages so they could study it back at the office. Feeling a little down for not finding any evidence or leads they headed to the office to wait for the autopsy report and the photos to come in.
