"I just got off the phone with the Houston PD."

"This is the eleventh case in the Houston area in the last ten years; all brunettes, each case more violent; four just in the past year. A chocolate cupcake is always at the scene."

"See if they have surveillance cameras inside or out and get me the recordings for the last forty-eight hours. The vehicles outside all have parking permits. Get a list of what makes and models are registered with management then check the surveillance recordings for any vehicles that either don't have a permit or don't match a vehicle registered with them. With any luck, we'll get a license plate number; if not, we'll get a list from Motor Vehicles of every car within a hundred mile radius with the same make and model of the vehicles that weren't registered with the apartment complex."
