"What do you think you are doing?! This is outrageous! For God's sake, have you no respect?!" A man in a thin raincoat shouted angrily and continued to stomp toward them. Nina and Oliver calmly looked up. They were carrying a black body bag to the trunk of their car. They gently lowered the body to the ground and Oliver began to sift through the items in the trunk. Nina let out a frustrated sigh. As if the pouring rain wasn't enough of a pain in the behind.

"Is this yours or mine?" she asked mildly irritated.

"I believe this one is mine. Keep him talking."

The angry man was now visible in the headlights of the car. Nina had walked out to meet him right beside the freshly exhumed grave in the bright lights.

"First, you drag these poor souls up to wreak terror on the living, only to not even guarantee their final re-?!"

"Oh, settle down! You should know from your Norfolk days that this is only the start."

"What do you mean 'start?' Are you trying to tell me that bringing back the dead wasn't enough?!"

"If you had stayed in the program you would've known to... wait," Nina smirked. The man looked horrified and curious, and took a moment to form any words. He spoke softly,

"What are you say-?"

His words were cut off by a loud clap of thunder. And a shot through the temple.

"Well isn't that lucky? Grave already prepared and everything," Oliver remarked dryly as he lowered the gun. With a swift push from the sole of his foot, the body rolled into the grave. Nina quickly walked to the rear of the car again and said,

"C'mon, let's get the subject in the trunk first," Nina said as she walked. Oliver rushed back to help her. After they hoisted the body bag into the trunk and shut it, they rushed back to their shovels to recover the grave. Between belaboured grunts, Oliver stated,

"That took up more time than we can afford. Need to refill this damn thing quickly. Then we bring Amy Dyer back to Norfolk."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hello!

This is my first story. I have stewed over the premature death of this wonderful show for nearly 2 years. So I pulled out the gunk and build-up in my brain, polished it up, and posted the junk here.

Enjoy it. Or not. Review it. Or not. It's just my take and I am always curious to know what people think.

Tips for cleaning up my writing also always appreciated.

Cheers,

LIA
