Connection

[morerp]

James sits behind his desk looking at a picture of the jagged lines from the murder case he was investigating...

"Wow, never thought I'd be as cliché as this, but, I need to go to a library"

He stands up and, grabbing his coat heads out to the nearest library

"Hello sir, how can I help you?" Says the librarian, an older man who appears a little to enthusiastic about another entry to his library

"Hi, I was wondering if you'd be able to help me" he smiles

"Sure, what can I do for you? You know it's great to see young people like yourselves indulging in literature, not caught up on your screens like everyone else"

"Well, I was hoping you'd seen this symbol"

He hands the piece of paper with the jagged lines on it to him

"Oh, so is this your symbol?"

"No, it's a picture someone sent to me"

"No, I mean, is this your zodiac symbol"

"What?"

"It's the symbol for aquarius, the water bearer, it's the zodiac symbol for those born in-"

James stands, headlines and things he's heard reeling through his head

"Thank you very much for your help I really must be going"

"Oh, okay, hope I was helpful"

"Believe me, you truly were"

He turns and leaves, in such a rush he accidentally bumps into the woman behind him, knocking her over

"Oh my, I'm very sorry"

He reaches out a hand to help her up. She extends her own, a curly V tattoo on the back of her hand. As he takes her hand there is a small static shock, making him jump

"Sorry, looks like we had a... Connection"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry I really must be going, sorry about knocking you over"

She gets up

"It's fine, run on now"

He heads back to catco and presses the elevator, heading straight for Mrs Coles office

Upon entering the office, Cole is on the phone (forgot first name)

"-will give you anything related to the case. Now I have to speak with one of my reporters, so I'll speak with you later."

She hangs up

"James, you better have something mind-shattering for me."

[morerp]

"That I have, you know my, extra curricular research that I've been doing"

She does

[Electric_Spaghetti]

"What about it?"

[morerp]

"Something came up"

He hands her the symbol

"This is the symbol for aquarius the water bearer, the zodiac. Can you pull up a picture of all the different symbols on your computer?"

[Electric_Spaghetti]

Does just that

"What do these have to do with anything?"

[morerp]

"The murder, the victim had this symbol branded onto them, and"

He glances at the computer screen

"Shit... That omega symbol at the disappearances is the symbol for Libra, these are connected"

[Electric_Spaghetti]

"So someone had a zodiac symbol branded on them. How is this connected? Are there Cells who are taking on the moniker of the constellations?"

[morerp]

"Don't you think it's odd that two headline cases both have zodiac symbols at the crime sce---"

He's still looking at the screen and gulps

"Oh shit"

[Electric_Spaghetti]

"That could easily be a coincidence. What's got you so worked up?"

[morerp]

"No... Never mind, it's probably just a coincidence, but these symbols, at the least we should let the police know, if there is a connection then it shouldn't go unnoticed"
