I have no idea what to say to my crush. No idea at all. I am way too scared and shy to text him. I know what you are all thinking. 'Nidhi! He gave you his number for a reason!' It's not easy at all to text him, his profile picture is driving me crazy, and I keep getting giant butterflies in my stomach. But I want to thank you all for helping me. Now, back to the story!

It was night-time in Jericho's coroner office. It was dead silent.
Until the dead silence was broken by something thudding inside the vents (Clint! Get out of the vents!). The grate to the vents opened right above the surveillance camera. Thing hopped onto the camera and crawled on it, he took a piece of black bubblegum and spread it around the camera, completely blocking the lens.
"Dr. Kinbott says I need to get out more. Says I need to open my mind to new people and experiences. Who am I to argue with her professional cliches?"
Thing crawled over to a remote on the wall that opened a large door. He pressed the open button, Wyatt and Y/n stepped into the room quietly, Thing then closed the door once again.
"While Y/n and I do the autopsy, you find the files of the monster's other victims and make copies." Wyatt orders.
Wyatt placed his bag on the table as Y/n watched him, Thing crawled on top tapping away to Wyatt.
"Don't pout. Your scalpel skills are questionable." He unrolled a set to reveal different types of knives, saws and scalpels. "Do you remember my 13th birthday? Uncle Fester gave me that cadaver. You sliced right through that man's carotid."
Thing tapped the table in agreement and went to go make copies. Wyatt and opened various dead body drawers, trying to find the right dead person.
"No...no..." He sniffed the body. "magnificent hematoma. There you are! Y/n come here!" Wyatt calls to the girl as he found the body.
Y/n went up to him to see.
He pulled the drawer to reveal an bearded man. Then grabbed a recorder. "Thursday, 7:23 pm. The body is that of a 50 year old male."
Wyatt lifted the sheet and gestured to Y/n. "Lacerations and defensive wounds appear on both hands. What remains of the chest and torso indicates a frenzied attack. Subject is almost entirely disemboweled." Y/n explains to the recorder.
Wyatt bent down and looked at the man's lower body. "This is curious. Subject's left foot is missing, it appears to have been chewed off at the ankle."
Just then the doors swung open and Thing crawled in.
"Have you seen a left foot anywhere?" Y/n asks.
Thing began to tap frantically.
"Calm down. Who is coming?" He asks.
Thing tapped again and scurried off to hide. Wyatt shoved the body in, grabbed Y/n and went to find a hiding spot too.

Sheriff Galpin and a doctor entered the building and took off their coats.
"Appreciate you coming back to the office, Doc." The sheriff thanks.
"No problem sheriff. Whatever I can do to help." The doctor answers.
They entered the morgue.
"Whatever or whoever is responsible for all these killings. In all my life, I have never seen injuries like them. I thought you should see this before I issued my report on the latest victim. It's a real noodle scratcher."
The doctor went over to a fridge where the bearded man's foot was kept in a jar.
"The killer cut off two toes from the victim's left foot. Best guess is a surgical saw. The final autopsy is pending." The doctor explains.
(Um, has George Hodel paired with Thornhill, cause the style of killing is very, very, very similar to the Black Dahlia's.)
"The minute you are done. Send it straight to my desk." The sheriff orders. "Media blackout on the toes."
The doctor smiled. "Sure thing, sheriff. Been busy a couple of weeks. At least I am going out in style. Friday's my last day."
"Happy retirement, doc." The sheriff congratulates.
"Gotta surprise Mrs. Anwar with a four-week cruise. Excited to trade rib shears for Mai-tai's. See yourself out, I will lock up."
The sheriff smiled awkwardly and left. The doctor grabbed his coat and looked around to make sure nothing was out of place. That's when he noticed something odd.
He noticed two of the compartments were slightly open.
He bent over and pulled out both the trays revealing Wyatt and Y/n laying there, eyes open and not blinking.
The doctor looked him confused. "I don't remember these coming in." He tapped Wyatt's cheek then Y/n's. "Oh you've both been dead a while. Guess you won't mind waiting another day of me cutting you open."
The doctor smiled, shut the drawers and left. Thing crawled out. He rushed over and opened Wyatt's and Y/n's drawers to let them out.
"Five more minutes." Wyatt told him. "I was just getting comfortable."
Y/n let out a small chuckle and got comfortable.

Wyatt played Tierra Rica on his record player in his dorm and pinned up photos Thing had clicked.
Enid and Y/n came up behind him.
"When you said you were going to be adding more decorations in your room. I didn't know you meant Ted Bundy's pinterest in mind." Enid says disgusted.
Y/n bounced up next to him, and looked at the collection in slight awe.
"Not as creepy as your stuffed unicorn collection." Wyatt told her.
"Woah" Y/n mumbles looking at all the pictures.
"Thing, Y/n and I may have made a trip to the morgue to copy the files of the monster's victims." Wyatt explains.
Enid's disgust deepened. "Okay there are so many levels of ew to the statement, I don't even know where to begin!"
"I need to get inside it's head." Wyatt muttered. "Discover any patters or anomalies. I've already made a big discovery."
"Like a serial killer." Y/n realizes.
"Exactly."
"All the monster's victims have one part of their body surgically removed." Y/n explains.
Y/n wonders for a moment. "What if it's trying to resurrect something or someone? Like how Voldemort tried to resurrect himself." Y/n asks.
Wyatt looked at her confused but nodded. in reply "Perhaps. But it seems to be collecting body parts, like a trophy."
He handed them the pictures.
"Wyatt, Y/n..." Enid gasps. "I don't feel so good."
"The first one a kidney, the second one a finger. The third one a gallbladder, two toes."
Behind him Enid had passed out. Y/n gasped and knelt next to her. "Like I said, it's like it's trying to resurrect someone." Y/n explains trying to wake her friend.
"It's quite impressive actually." Wyatt said then turned around.
Wyatt turned to Thing who shrugged. "Fetch the smelling salts. Again."
