The crime scene pristine,

cameras flashing,

low, serious murmur of

Kourtney and her investigative

team.

A life taken in the 

unyielding darkness of

another

back alley in Vegas.

A family mourns,

while goodly brains sift

the scene for clues,

closer they come to the painful truth, their faces taut,

respectful, focused questions.

"When did you see him last?"

she asks and the sobbing is broken

by her hiccup.
