"He's supposed to be in his forties, too? Like his wife, he looks like he's still in his twenties!"

(Excerpt Alma Introduction)

 

Griggori pressed a new command into his computer which displayed the driver's license complete with a photo of a woman named Bianca Sabre.

            "She's attractive," Julia noted, as she looked on the woman's long, black hair, smooth white skin and dark blue eyes.

            "If you like that sort of thing," he shrugged back, before looking appreciatively at his girlfriend's blonde hair.

            "She looks good for her age, too," she remarked.  "Her date of birth has her in her forties but she looks like she's still in her twenties."

            "Let's see what her husband looks like," he hit a new command on the touch-screen and a new driver's license came up.

            "How do you know that she's married?" she arched an eyebrow.  "Perhaps she's a single mother."

            "Alma Sheriff's Department reported that after each mugging/wild animal attack, the husband arrived at his wife's side."  He said simply. 

            "Alma?" she echoed.

            "The name of the town in Alaska where the attacks took place," he brought her up to speed. "The husband was this man, Declan Sabre."

            Julia leaned in for a closer look, "He's supposed to be in his forties, too?  Like his wife, he looks like he's still in his twenties!"

            The Detective and Forensics Scientist stared at the male on the screen with handsome features, bright blue eyes and wavy, blonde hair down to his ears.

            "The couple are definitely in their forties because their eldest child is 16 years old and has a driver's license."  Griggori hit another button on the computer.

            Next, they were looking on a pretty teenaged girl with bright blue eyes and long, dark blonde hair.

            "Lucia Grace Sabre," she read the name off the screen.  "Where do the Sabre's live?"

            He enlarged the section of the license which displayed the address and read aloud, "5 Hill Road, Lokoti Tribal Lands, Lokoti National Park, Alaska."

            Just then Julia leaned back with a grave expression on her face which she turned on Griggori.

            "But how long have the Sabre's lived at this address?" she wondered.

            "Hmm?" he passed her a puzzled expression.

            "Declan Sabre and Bianca Sabre look young for their ages, da?" she began.  "Our Mr X doesn't seem to age, either.  Perhaps there's a connection between the Sabre's and our suspect?"

            His face took on a determined expression, "I'll do a background check on them."

            "And I'll check their medical histories and see if they've had any blood tests or scans, which will give us a sample of their DNA and blood type."

            Then the two went to work on their different computers with a renewed sense of purpose.
