Chapter 52 Arrest Warrant

• The fire was still smoking when the uniforms arrived in force. Two squad cars, a detective unmarked sedan, a marked van for the evidence techs. They stretched yellow tape across Dockside Way and moved like they were sweeping a room: sharp, methodical, practiced.
• “Keep back!” a sergeant barked. “This is a crime scene.”
• Forensics worked in tight groups. One tech photographed the collapsed facade, close-ups of warped steel and melted plastic. Another set up a camera on a tripod to take overview shots.
