Methos was on the floor staring at the body of a boy who'd been stabbed in the head and the knife was still in the wound. Dorian sighed. Nox what the fuck are you doing? But Dorian didn't have the impression Nox did this. He wasn't careless. And he swore up and down he didn't kill humans. And Dorian had to believe him, but the other one out there... Dorian turned to look back the way he'd come and saw Ivan slowing as he joined him. Dorian gave the other man a friendly nod. "Interesting night. One burning body in two, a man with his head twisted completely around and, a stabbed kid here."
A voice yelled a little further down the back of the stage "We've another body here." Dorian sighed. He tried to get Methos to move but the man kept pushing him away. "Ivan, the burning body has a wall of air around it. Whoever set the body afire wanted it to burn without interference."
Dorian could think of many reasons why Nox would have done it. But this wasn't him. "This is quick, but why burn one body, and not the others?"
Dorian could guess, but he didn't want to. Was it coincidence that Nox killed here and someone else did too? Was he housing a murderer in his home?
Dorian knelt down next to Methos and put his hand on his shoulder. "Mr. Turner. I need you to come with me. My team needs to take a look at things. And I need to ask you a few questions."
The officer who had found the other body came to Dorian and he stood up "The other victim is female with the same wound, the knife is still present. We've a serial killer."
Dorian nodded. It wasn't a serial killer it was Atharim. He was certain of that, but was it one or more?
Dorian nodded to the other officer and instructed him. "See about Mr. Turner. Medical attention, whatever he needs, question him gently, he's just lost friends."
Dorian turned to Ivan. "Let's look at the other body."
She was splayed out on the floor similar to the boy. She wasn't much older than he had been. The knife still sticking out of the base of her skull. It was quick and painless. Everyone knew their job Dorian didn't need to tell them what to look for. None of this made any sense. He really needed to talk to Nox, but he could do that in the privacy of his own home. "I don't think the same person did any of these killings."
Dorian wondered, could the burning body be Atharim? No, Nox wouldn't burn an Atharim body, there would be no reason - it had to be a monster, but what kind? Damnit, he needed to talk to Nox. The boy was gonna fall to all these murders if Dorian couldn't get to the bottom of it all. He had no choice but to bring him in. He was cooperating fully with the department - he couldn't ruin it for one kid. Nox would understand. Dorian knew the boy would do the right thing.
