Doesn't matter what the holiday itself is, any day after a night full of fireworks is bound to have at least three deaths. Last night was no exception, though the body was a lot smaller than our usuals - terrified veterans caught up in flashbacks, the elderly who's heart couldn't take or someone who shouldn't be let anywhere near an explosive getting their hands on as many fireworks as they could.
The call we got today wasn't for any of them though, it was for a five year old girl found with her eyes gauged out under a bed in abandoned house next door to her own family home. Strangest part was her family were on holiday some seven hours away at the time and remember tucking her into bed that night after their little fireworks show was over.
Her appearance and sudden change of location weren't even the strangest part of it. That came when the sniffer dogs found her blood all over two dolls hidden away in the kitchen of the house. There was blood on their hands and around their mouths... we found her eyes in their chests as if her killer wanted to make it look like they ate them.
We made sure her family didn't find this out, just said she was found dead and that we'd be looking into it. We didn't tell them that the dolls started moving around the evidence locker or that one of them managed to escape. We'll just blame it on a random description we'll pull from a neighbour and call it a cold case.
Hopefully the next big celebration will another moron with a firecracker in their mouth instead of this...
