The Roman Lee Series "Beneath Devil's Lake" An Odd Discovery..........

THE ROMAN LEE SERIES
 "BENEATH DEVIL'S LAKE"
 
 
Turning on the flashers we moved quickly over to the older Medical District in the city.
We arrived at one of the facilities that now sat abandoned. The building once housed a research center with a laboratory for Alzheimer patients.  There were no signs of any units that had responded. 
A pimple faced teenager with red curly hair approached us as we exited the car.  He was on his hoverboard and looked quite concerned.
Lonnie spoke to him first.
“Are you the one that called 911?”
His voice cracked a bit when he answered.
“I did. I called because I fell off my board over there.”
“But you’re ok now right?”
“Yes, I thought I was bleeding when I fell off and landed.  But I found out that the blood wasn’t mine and that’s why I called you.”
“Where did you fall son?”
“Over there near the door in the back.”
“You see anyone around since you been here?”
“My friends left a while ago after they got texts from their parents.  I fell after they had already left.  It was really disgusting.”
What appeared to be a decent size amount of darkened blood had been smeared slightly by the teenagers hoverboarding incident.  Oddly an animal carried rested not far away with its door ajar.  I walked over to it and taking a pen gently moved the door open a little further.  It was empty except for the strong smell of animal urine.
Lonnie was busy writing and sketching in his notebook.  He crouched a little lower to the ground to examine the darkened blood.
“What are you thinking?  Animal cruelty.”
“We have seen worse that’s for sure.  But what animal and where is it?”
“Not sure.  Could be human blood for all we know.”
“I guess we’ll know soon enough.”
