RAMUS

Jain felt a flood of emotion. Anxiety was replaced with excitement.


"Absolutely. Get the Inspector to agree. PSU are already there. Just make sure everything is recorded properly. You know what they're like. I need time of discovery, photos. Shit. I'll ask Frost to come back. No. Wait, she's contaminated now with the other blood sample. That means I'm contaminated. Fuck. We need a CSI down there. Someone to record everything. Could it possibly be something else?


"It could be a rabbit warren with fresh, dead animals inside, I suppose. Not likely though. It's a pretty big patch of ground that's been messed with. Obviously by humans, not an animal, in my opinion of course." Mark replied, sensing his colleague's excitement. He felt it too. It was what the job was all about for him. 


Jain carried on rambling at a thousand miles an hour.
