"I have the case file open and what's interesting to note that on both times, Mr. X rescued the same woman."

 

(Excerpt Alma Introduction)

 

"The huge, hairless, mutant, albino grizzly sounds like what our Mr X might be," Griggori continued.  "In 2364 there was a 'wild animal attack' in Alaska where witnesses described this creature as the one who did the attacking.  Three victims were mauled in a supermarket car park with their heads being eaten through.  It appears to be the preferred way our Mr. X kills his targets."

            "I saw this case file too," she nodded along, before returning to her Forensics notes.  "This creature has the same DNA as our Mr X and look at the blood work, Griggori.  The victims were OO Negative, but they're a different type of OO Negative."

            "So they're not the same species of OO Negatives from Scotland and St Petersburg?"

            "Nyet," she shook her head.  "Did you see there was a second attack in the same place again?  In 2372 Mr X mauled another three victims in the supermarket car park, who were also OO Negatives, but they too were another species.  Their blood work doesn't match the previous OO Negatives in the first attack nor the OO Negatives in Scotland or St Petersburg."

            "Da," he pointed at his computer screen, "I have the case file open and what's interesting to note that on both times, Mr. X rescued the same woman."

            "Huh?" she blinked, as if she misheard him.

Again, she left her computer with its Forensics reports and went to his to look on his which the InterPol reports were on.

            "On both occasions our huge, hairless, mutant, albino grizzly mauled the OO Negatives who were reportedly mugging a woman.  On the first occasion she was pregnant and on the second she had two small children with her.  Mr. X would suddenly appear on the scene, the security camera outside the supermarket would be disrupted by static so there's no footage of the animal attack, he would maul the three OO Negative muggers and then run off.  It's the same MO of our recent murders and the same description of the attacker."

            "Who is this woman?" she enquired.
