Shadowrun Drabble: Kiss

For Dan. Curse your naggery!

A drabble is a short, 100 word story. A site I like offers a topic a day for a drabble. Today's was "Kiss."

The constant rains seeped through coats to produce a wearying, bone-deep chill. Forensics searched doggedly through the muck as rain-diluted blood seeped across the alley. Lone Star Officer Brunhilda Avantegarde surveyed the crime scene, wearing her best 'grim determination' face to hide her inner triumph. Responding officer! To a Homicide!! And Grunt was "investigating” in Bermuda! She would show them all. She gloved up and strode purposefully into the alley, ignoring the dirty looks of the techs, and frowned meaningfully at the Kiss Killer’s latest victim. She deftly plucked the scarlet wrapped candy from his forehead. “Cherry Cordial. That monster!”

Am I to assume that you are Avantegarde?

Good heavens NO!! Avantgarde was the creation of my evil doppelganger, although the character has since been twisted by the group at large.

You'll just have to wait for further installments to guess my character.
