Ivan snagged a bag of chips and a coke as they walked into the conference room. The detectives hand was clear and concise. And ultimately felt like it led to a dead end. He left his chips and drink on the table and got up, standing close to the board, thinking. He looked af Vega and Marisol. Something nagged at him and he found his head shaking slightly. "There are lots of channelers these days. At least, a lot who have come out. And yet...we've not seen an increase in odd deaths that bear hallmarks of ijiraq
He paused, his thoughts forming almost as he spoke. "If these were merely ijiraq feedings based on available channlers, we'd see more of these. We don't" He felt a measure of certainty in his gut. Yeah yeah, he knew good detective work was to not go off of hunches. And he tried not to. But this felt right It fit the facts. "If ijiraq are killers....and they can be controlled, then there is a better than likely probability that this was a hit. That it was sent to kill him."
He turned around, ready for doubt and raised his hand. I'm not saying we eliminate other possibilities. But if you have a city of available prey and invisible tigers and and yet we dont hear of tiger attacks on the increase, it seems to tell you this tiger was sent to that prey. And.... he smiled and raised an eyebrow. "It gives us a glad to chase down. Rather than treat this like a random attack, we can view this as a targetted murder. An assassination even.
He looked at Vega and Marisol. "That's the angle I think we should chase down. Why would someone want this guy dead.
