A few hours later, I sat in the coffee shop of Sim Bio-Com, downing my third cup of coffee.
I needed the extra strong brew; it made everything I heard that morning easier to swallow.
Strangetown, that quiet, little spit of a town, where aliens walked amoung us, was now being rocked by a Killer lover. Two women had been made loved to, birth children and died by the hands of the same alien.
Worse. Where were these two babies?
I left the Coroner's office with a migraine and more questions than answers.
How do I explain to Erin that her sister-in-law had been unfaithful to her brother? How do I tell Ajaya Loner that the woman he loved had not only been unfaithful, but had a child by another?
There were two babies out there, without their mothers. Were they with their father? Or worse. Did the children meet the fate as their mothers? We just don't know where their bodies are.
I felt a sudden chill.
Why did Lover Boy kill Jessie and Circe? And where are the children?
And when will he strike next?
I spend the day at the office, reviewing reports, looking for any clues we may have missed.
Later, I headed back downstairs for more coffee.
I could the dreams of the Vulcan right. How I would love for his to walk out of my dreams and into my life, taking me away from all of this madness...
Pity General Grunt wasn't available. After the house fire that claimed his three sons' lives Christmas Eve, the poor man had a nervous breakdown and was now in Hospital. As rough and crude as he was, at least he would be more hands on. No doubt, this case would be solved by now.

His replacement, a General Alice Simms, from what I could gather, didn't have idea one how to handle the various races of Strangetown, let alone the interworking of my department.
What the Higher Ups of Fort Grome were thinking when send the Diva to the backside of SimLand, I shall never know. In the seven months General Simms has been in the Community, she hadn't met with me or anyone in our department. It was as if she was on vacation and didn't know that she was overseeing the Alien Assimilation of Strangetown, keeping things calm as we welcomes citizens from other plants, that for whatever reason they wish to move to Earth.
At least she wasn't making our lives hell as General Grunt and his boys had done.
