Detective Stolt appeared at crime scene. Dark clouds riwered eerie background silhouette. Sirens screamed, lights flashed neon glow. Body sprawled, lifeless, blood pool. Dimestore mop left rainwater puddle. Yellow tape cordoned off perimeter. Streetlights framed grim silhouette tableau. Mayor's wife, victim, lay there. Mayor arrived, eyebrows furrowed, nodding. Detective handed him body photo. Thicker curtain scene closed firmly.
