A/N: Hello everyone. Here's one of the stories I am currently working on. I can't work on my already established stories since the computer with them on it, is not currently up. So just a little side story for those who would actually read. (which I'm guessing is not many...)

For the Hunt

Prologue.

A body lay on the cement ground of the condemned parking garage, mangled and torn, covered in wounds that didn't look humanly possible. A blond woman put a hand across her mouth, the smell of her latex gloves blocking out a small portion of the smell from the corpse. She turned to her partner, a tall man with dark hair that was just beginning to turn grey. His face was somewhere between a scowl and a grimace as he looked down at the body. Something just wasn't right with this scene.

"Carlton, who would do such a horrific thing…?" She whispered softly as she kneeled down to inspect it. Her partner, Carlton Lassiter, looked around and found himself disgusted at the sight. Blood, hair and flesh could be seen scattered all around the garage from the victim.

"Hey, Carlton. Look at this!" The blond, Juliet O'Hara, inquired of him as she held a matted clump of short, dark hair towards him. The head detective of the SBPD gave his partner a puzzled look as he took it and put it into an evidence bag.

"Animal hair…?" Was all he could say in his confusion.

~Meanwhile~

A young man with dark, matted brown hair leaned against a battered brick wall only a few buildings away from the crime scene. Blood, which was not his, covered his mouth and hands.

"I tried to save her… I really did…" He whimpered in a gasping sob as he covered his face with his hands, sliding down the wall so that he was now in a sitting position. Tears making streaks in the blood splattered across his face.

~~~~~~A/N: Ok... So yeah... Really short and not very good, I know. Sorry. I'm not one to beg for reviews but they would be nice to have. ^^'
