The Plot Thickens (Karen)
Fifteen hours after the Chicago PD responded to an incident at a warehouse on the pier, Detective Lynch is contacted by Seargeant Griswold, who ended up working overtime and was the first to respond when the call came in.

When she arrives, the police have shut down one of the main roads headed out of town and the reason is quickly apparent; off the side of the road, there is a burned out husk of a vehicle, a black 1967 Chevy Impala. There are scorch and burn marks on the vehicle where it hasn't been smashed or crushed beyond repair. On the ground, two bodies lie underneath sheets, and the Crime Scene Investigators are taking photos of the trunk, where there is a third body.

Sergeant Griswold approaches Lynch when she arrives.

"I'm startin' to think it might be time for me to hang it up, Detective." he says wearily, nodding to the crime scene.

	Karen give him a quick get out of my chair glare. "Interesting is one way to put it I guess," She says, "That friend of yours Ian I think you called him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Matt smirks and rises from her chair, to take the one on the opposite side of her desk. He reists the urge to put his feet up on it. The first time he ever did that, Karen flipped his chair on him, sending him sprawling to the floor.

"Actually, I had a woman and her son come to my office today, asking me to look for her other son. She thinks he's in trouble. Guy by the name of Jeffrey Thomas Templeton. Told her that I was too busy to look and she started crying and begging for my help. I told her I'd get to it when I could.

I asked for a picture of her boy and..." Matt pulls a photo the pocket of his long black duster and hands it over to Lynch.

"...this is her boy, Tommy." Matt says.

When Karen looks at the picture, she'll see that the man is a few years younger, but he's identical to Austin Caine.

"She said he wasn't doing so well lately, after his 'break-up' with Audrey Stark, I think her name is. Anyway, Mrs. Templeton says that Tommy-Austin called her the same day Stark got married, drunk as all get out. She says he wasn't himself. I did a bit more looking around and some of his co-workers say he hasn't been the same since then. He's missing meetings, not showing up to events and the like. A few people say he was pretty temperamental a few days after.

He even ditched some girl he was supposed to go out with after a charity auction because she was in a wheelchair. Real saint, huh?" Matt asks.

"What happened with you today?"

"Sounds like the media would just love to tear him a new one," Karen says, "It seems like they love nothing more than a celebrity in a downward spiral."

"We found another bizarre murder," Karen says, "A couple of hell's angels and get this Austin's girl was also found there killed as well in the trunk of the car. The whole place was pretty well burned. It wasn't pretty."

"His girlfriend was in the trunk of the car, with a couple of bikers?" Matt asks, his brow furrowing in confusion. That didn't really fit anything.

"Let's look at what we've got. Two murders in less than twenty-four hours, Austin Caine with a a connection to both. Scent of hellfire at one scene...wait. You said the second scene was burned up, too?" he asks.

"I've got a bad feeling about this one, Karen. Something doesn't fit right with all of this." he says.

"Who was the girl in the trunk? Any ID?"

	"Yeah this whole situation sinks," She says. "Yeah it was," Karen says, "Pretty serious fire there." "She was a Sarah Prescott why do you ask. Is there something there I'm missing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sarah Prescott was his ex-girlfriend and his co-star in his latest movie, Karen. Caine is somehow connected to both of these events in less than twenty-four hours and no one has seen /him/ at all." Matt says.

"His ex-girlfriend turns up dead a few hours after his wallet turns up at a Cultists Anonymous meeting. For all we know, he tossed his wallet on the ground and one of those psychos just happened to find it.

His mother comes looking for him but wants to hire a private investigator, rather than talk to the cops. Hell's Angels don't take kindly to having their people offed. You can bet /they'll/ be looking for him, too.

Yeah, I see this going badly before we get much further on." Matt says.

	"You forget to mention the media firestorm that happens once this story breaks and I can't keep this story for much longer," Karen says, "But there is a lot about this case that we still don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, we don't know what Caine's motive is and why he's going by another name. We don't know his connection to the Hell's Angels and we don't know where the hell he is right now, either. I've got a couple of ways to work on that last one, though." Matt says. "How much longer can you sit on this before the higher-ups are all over your ass about it?" he asks.

	"There's a lot of we don't knows that needs to change and the sooner the better," Karen says. "I've probably got about a day but it really depends on when the story hits the media," She says, "That's when they'll really get on my case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All right. Go ahead and put the word out tomorrow about this, but I need one thing from you. Don't put anyone on watching Caine's apartment.

I'm gonna ask Michelle to keep an eye on the place and see if he comes back. If he does, she can probably keep him occupied long enough for us to get there so you can book him and bring him in." Matt says.

"Meanwhile, I'm going to talk to Anya Stark and see if she knows anything else about Austin Caine. If he really did flip out because she dumped him, then maybe he'll contact or maybe he gave her some information on where to find him if necessary." Matt says.

	"Alright," Karen says, "If this does anything to bite me back though I'm taking you down with me. Just giving you fair warning so you don't try to do anything stupid OK." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, that hurts. When was the last time I did anything stupid?" Matt asks. "Wait, don't answer that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was just going to say do you really want me to answer that," Karen says. "I don't want to be rude or anything but we both have a lot of work to do fast so unless there is anything else..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, nothing else. Just make sure no one goes near Caine's place. I'll handle the surveillance myself." Matt says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
