It wasn't her fault really to be honest. Val had dragged her along on the current murder case because the Nye thing was performing an operation or something of the sort. So now she was looking at a rather old man who could have possibly died from old age.

"Couldn't he had died from old age?" she asked Val.

"That's the problem. He was roughly my age three days ago," Val replied looking around. Tanith couldn't help but keep staring at the body.

"What are you looking for?" she asked.

"Clues?" Val replied with a frown before disappearing into the next room. Tanith gave up on trying to get a decent conversation out of her best friend and looked again at the murdered person. His name had been Patrick Bee but now he was dead.

And grey.

Why was he grey?

It was just so odd. Everything about the person was grey. His hair was grey, his skin tone was grey and everything in general was so grey.

Val came back into the room holding a piece of paper. "I found a clue!" she said victoriously.

"Why is he so grey?" Tanith asked.

"What?" Val asked.

"Never mind."
