The kid by the alley

I really really  don't want to believe  it...but there just isn't any other possibility.

Looking down that  alley I was horrified.

"boss... you ok?" I heard Damian calling out to me but I didn't  respond.

I turn my attention to the child and I just see him as terrified as I am.

Just a minute ago he wasn't fazed about almost getting ran over but this got a reaction out of him?

Calm down he's probably trying to play it off as some kind of accident but.....

"you ok?"

I heard the sound of Damian getting out of the car.

When he rolled over to see what I was looking at and he had pretty much the same reaction.

"We should send this to the station...." Damian said, rolling to the body.

I agree but..

"You're coming with us kid." I said, grabbing the child by the arm.

He didn't resist, he just gave me a look of confusion and worry.

Did he really do it...

"Boss a hand here?" Damian called out to me, dragging the body.

"Coming!" 

I guided the boy in the car.

"Don't  move."

I ran to Damian to help him carry the body.

The man looked to be a bodybuilder only 

 wearing a vest and jeans. His face was crushed and it was hard to recognize..

No way a kid could do this-

_________

"he's been roughed up pretty bad huh." Damian said punching in something's to find his id.

"A deformed face and stab wounds, this kid didn't hold back."

We ran him through  a few scans back at the office but of course  with his face like that it's hard to find intel.

"where'd you put the kid?" Damian turned to me to ask.

"We put him in a holding cell for now... he'll be there for a day.. granted he cooperates.

The room was awkwardly silent for a while until Damian came across a news feed whilst scrolling through the internet trying to find information.

"Hey boss, you might wanna look at this."

I looked at the screen to see pictures of crime scenes. One of said pictures shows four high school boys being escorted  to the station, one of them had a slit throat  while the others were just stabbed a lot.

"Murder and suicide?"  Damian asked.

"Definitely murder and suicide."

"Well if those news reporters work as fast as we think they do the bodies should be arriving later today.Which means you examine them tomorrow?"

I nodded and looked at the body of the dead man.

This just doesn't make sense....
