( continues...) using, and knew something was wrong.
Riley had his pistol out now. This was going to end badly.
“What’s up, Faith,” said Oz. “Thought you were one of the good guys again.”
“You thought wrong,” said Faith, slinking forward, ever so slowly. “The bitch is back.”
She leapt at them, and Riley fired without hesitation, straight into her chest. Faith fell, laughing the entire time, then rolled when she hit the floor, and sprung immediately to her feet. Oz stepped backward.
“Heh, don’t worry, boys,” said Faith, smiling and bleeding. “This is just a warning. Whatever you’re doing? Back off. Now.”
And then, suddenly, she was gone, leaving a bar full of startled hoodlums looking nervously at Oz and Riley.
“I think it’s time to leave,” said Riley.
“Definitely,” said Oz.

Just needed a little non-election time.
Excellent! Faith!!!
But wait! It will get weirder!
Okay, I need a bit of help, if y'all don't mind.
I'm trying to set up a suicide (in my story, not IRL) that will look more like murder until things are examined more closely. The people investigating the case will be inclined to dismiss suicide as an option, so that's something of help.
Thoughts? I need to make sure that the suicide-not-murder realization is believable while still giving good HSQ.
Anne, are you asking about methods, pathology, or....?
Hmm...funky looking ligatures from a hanging? Cause it worked in reverse for D'Angelo Barksdale on "The Wire"...of course part of that is that law enforcement didn't give a crap about D.
Anne, are you asking about methods, pathology
Um, both, I guess. I need to figure out how the deed is done, and what will make the investigators assume murder rather than suicide.
Funky ligatures could work--what makes them funky, though?
Signed,
Hasn't yet seen "The Wire"
Something about the way the noose landed across Barksdale's neck iirc showed that he couldn't possibly have done it himself, and I forget why. Maybe there were bruises on other parts of his body. But DOC didn't care cause he was in on drug charges so even the ME was kind of like "Eh." McNulty, who stirs up the pot by getting up every morning, found the "mistake".
You'll either love The Wire or find it deadly slow. There seems to be no middle ground on it.
