man, we'll all weep for her later. This girl was finally coming up trumps with..."
    The girl's HVs returned to the screen and the mans voice was still evident.
    "Hey stay with me now, Leah. Come on, I've got you a little special something to let you know how much you really mean to me and the guys!"
    Leah's voice was the next sound to be heard with a fixed HV of the man accompanying its rendition.
    "You gotta still need me, Dave - you simply gotta. I mean I know I'm still clean. Yeah I need my scag but I'll cut down Dave, honest I will - you've gotta believe me Dave, once I'm back man, I'll stay golden - no I'll be even better Dave. I'll do fives man, and learn to keep it all down man - all down. Just give me some scut end or a nub because I'm your girl Dave - I wander man, but I'm your girl".
    "Leah you're always my golden one and to prove it I brought you something special. I'm just going to give you a little taster in the back of your neck love. It's liquid ice - a new kind of paradise. Now just lie back and relax. I owe you a holiday - yes you're still my golden one".
    The screen temporarily returned to darkness and then Leah's HV's returned.
    "What you doing, Dave? Who are they, man?”
    "Just lie back, Leah. I told you it was good stuff. These are two of my mates - Eddie and Felix".
    "Why are they putting them bones down near me, Dave. They're fucking scummy man. Where are they from - London fucking zoo?”
    "Relax, Leah honey. The lads are just feeding a couple of my doggies for me. You can feed 'em if you like, they'll be here soon - nice little doggies".
    "Okay Dave...see I love dogs...see I used to..."
    The images left the screen and the team hoped they wouldn't return, as they had seen Leah's corpse and could anticipate the HV outcome if she died at the hands of the dogs before the strychnine could finish her off. Despite this realisation they were still taken aback when the next slightly diminished HV did hit the screen.
    Less than three feet away from the parameters of Leah's memory camera stood a large dog, bedraggled but powerful in it's front quarters none the less. The dog was salivating with it's top lip curled and blood was splattered around it's mouth region. The HV was made particularly guignol as traces of a flesh like substance were rapidly being devoured by the said animal, and on the strands of the flesh in question hung an eye - a human eye! The morsel disappeared down the beast's throat.
    Leah had regained consciousness after the dog had gouged her eye from her! The growling of the dog which had been a consistent acoustic commentary was suddenly drowned out by a scream which reverberated around the exploration area, such was it's guttural magnitude. Leah's final words built her epitaph.
    "No - Jesus God - no. Dave I need you. Dave I need you - help me - my fucking eye - no!”
    The screen showed more dogs running toward Leah's spatial area. The camera then died visually, but the sounds of screaming and canine growling continued for a period of eleven seconds. It was the longest eleven seconds Gregory Vain had ever experienced, and when the girl was finally ‘counted out’ in twenty-seven minutes and eight seconds, all present uttered an audible sigh of relief. Case two had delivered the required murderer, but the team wished that the strychnine could have taken the girl before the victim had witnessed Dave's method of ‘cover up”. Mason rewound the gathered images. He preferred his choice of name for the victim. To him she was more of a ‘Charlotte’ than a ‘Leah”. The team members thought it bizarre that the man was bemoaning the unsuitability of her real name after the horror pertaining to the images they had just witnessed. Mason was weird in the eyes of most MC team members. As the team recovered, Vain made sure that the case study reference card was changed to reveal the young girl’s real name and not Mason's choice.
    Denison and Fray left the Demonstration area with the MC team,
