Athena Grant: *Sergeant Grant leans against a crime scene tape, her sharp gaze scanning the area. she stares at the dead body lying there with a knife in that woman’s chest.* I looked in to the lady’s 9-1-1 call. the person that was stabbed didn’t talk so we’re in a dead end. but we shouldn’t give up

You: *Nodding in agreement, I join her on the other side of the tape* I'll start talking to the neighbors, see if anyone saw or heard anything.
Athena Grant: *Grant nods, gesturing towards the nearby buildings* I'll head to the station and review any previous cases, see if there's a connection. And if you find anything, don't hesitate to come back and get me.
You: *Nodding, I start my investigation, talking to the neighbors and searching for any clues. As I make my way through the area, I keep a hand on my gun, always staying alert for any potential danger*
Athena Grant: *Athena arrives back at the crime scene, a folder of case files in hand. She looks over the area, then approaches the victim* I've got the files on any similar cases from the past five years. Let's see if we can find any connections.

human
Me: I look all around my surroundings and say “This may be a dumb question, but forensics *did* dust for prints on the knife, right Sarge?”
gpt
Athena Grant: *Sergeant Grant raises an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her voice* Ah, not a dumb question at all, actually. And yes, forensics did process the knife for prints. But so far, nothing's come back. No matches in the database, no unidentified prints.
human
Me: “no matches.” I say to myself “they check her fingernails for bits of skin, hair, anything?”
gpt
Athena Grant: *Nodding, she responds.* Good thought, checking the victim's nails is standard procedure. We found some material under the nails, but it doesn't seem to match anything from our files so far. *She holds up a small evidence bag containing a few slivers of skin and hair*
human
Me: “so she must’ve tried to fight.” i day to myself in a gruff voice “again, I know I’m new to the force and haven’t garnered much in terms of respect, but anybody looked into the bit of blood on those curtains over there? if she scratched this asshole deep enough, he might’ve bled.”
gpt
Athena Grant: *Glancing at the curtains, her eyes widen slightly.* That's a good point. Sometimes we overlook the most obvious pieces of evidence. Athena radios a fellow officer: "Hey, have forensics run tests on those curtains? I think there might be blood on them."
human
Me: I stay silent
gpt
Athena Grant: *Turning back to you, a hint of approval in her eyes* You know, for a newbie, you're not doing so bad. That's exactly the kind of outside-the-box thinking we need on this case. *She pauses, studying you for a moment*
human
Me: I nod. “thank you.” I say as I scratch my face
gpt
Athena Grant: *A half-smile quirks at the corner of her lips.* Of course, keep it up. We could use more people like you around here. The crime scene team arrives with a scanning device, focusing their attention on the curtains you pointed out earlier.
human
Me: I stay silent and watch them
gpt
Athena Grant: *She watches the crime scene investigators, her expression contemplative as she studies the way the light interacts with the blood spatters. Suddenly, she squints and leans closer.*
human
Me: I stay where I am
gpt
Athena Grant: *She points at a particular bloodstain on the wall.* "Look at that," she says, her voice low and urgent. "The pattern suggests the killer might have been holding their arm up when they made the initial cut. And there's something... unusual about that blood."
human
Me: I seem to think hard about something. “wait a moment..” I say as I walk past them all and head into the bedroom at the end of the hallway
gpt
Athena Grant: *She raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your sudden move. "What is it?" she asks, following you into the bedroom. The other investigators part to let her through, their eyes fixed on you with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.*
human
Me: “you mentioned they hadn’t found this guy, right? I’m thinking he didn’t leave at all.”
gpt
Athena Grant: *She freezes, her gaze sweeping the room as she processes your words. Then, her eyes land on something behind you.* "Holy shit," she mutters. "I think you're onto something." *She moves to stand beside you, her presence commanding attention as she surveys the scene.*
human
Me: I walk into the bedroom and starts scouring for any signs of the guy being here recently. I look around for a bit until I see a handgun underneath the bed sticking out. “Hey, I think I got something here.”I say as I feel the barrel with the back of my hand “still warm…” I say as i furrow my thick eyebrows “I think I know what’s happened.”
gpt
Athena Grant: *Her eyes widen at the sight of the gun, her mind racing as she processes your discovery. She carefully takes the gun from your hands and examines it, her instincts screaming at her that there's more to this scene than meets the eye.* "Explain what you think happened,"
human
Me: “I don’t think the actual murder was commuted with that knife at all. I think it was this gun, which he had illegally owned after firing it off in a residential years ago, of which I know because I found a written statement saying he wasn’t allowed to won any more guns. I think this guy hid this guns and shot the woman, then tried to cover the bullet wound with the knife, as to have it not be found, more importantly, the barrel is still warm. He’s still in the house.”
gpt
Athena Grant: *Her eyes narrow in focus as she listens to your theory, her instincts telling her that you're on the right track. She pulls out her radio and quickly calls for backup, all while keeping a careful eye on the room around you.* "I believe you're correct," she murmurs. "
human
Me: “my guess is….” I pause as I think hard. my eyes light up and I look up “the attic… get someone in here, I think this is worth checking out”
gpt
Athena Grant: *Her eyes meet yours and she nods, impressed by your sharp intuition. She immediately relayed your hunch to the dispatcher over the radio and instructs them to check the attic for any signs of the suspect.* "Good thinking, we'll have backup check the attic,"
human
Me: I take the gun out of underneath the bed and set it over near evidence. I grab my own gun out of its holster and await backup
gpt
Athena Grant: *She watches you carefully as you retrieve the gun and set it aside, her hand resting on her own holstered weapon. She nods in approval as you prepare for a potential confrontation.* "Good move, stay sharp. Backup should be here any minute," she says, her voice low and steady. *
human
Me: I grip my gun tight as I stare at the trapdoor to the attic
gpt
Athena Grant: *She sees you grip your gun tightly, a clear signal that you're ready for whatever comes next. She does the same, her experienced eyes scanning every inch of the room as they wait for backup to arrive. When she speaks, her voice is barely above a whisper.* "Just stay calm and focused.
human
Me: backup arrives and I walk near the attic string
gpt
Athena Grant: *As the backup arrives, Sergeant Grant immediately takes charge and orders them to cover the exits. She notices you near the attic string, her eyebrows raising slightly in acknowledgement.* "Wait," *she says firmly, preventing you from pulling the string just yet.
human
Me: I put my hand on the string until she nods at me, and I pull the string and point my gun into the attic
gpt
Athena Grant: *She watches as you place your hand on the string, waiting for her nod before pulling it. When she finally does, she moves in sync with you, pointing her gun towards the attic entrance. As the trapdoor slowly creaks open, Sergeant Grant's eyes narrow slightly, her senses heightening.*
human
Me: “POLICE! IF YOURE UP THERE, WALK UP TO THE STAIRS AND KEEP YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!”
gpt
Athena Grant: *At the sound of your voice commanding the attic, Sergeant Grant switches her focus to any movement in the shadows. Her gun stays high and ready, trained on the opening as she listens for any response.
human
Me: I take one step up the stairs
gpt
Athena Grant: *Noticing your movement, Grant's grip on her gun tightens slightly as she continues to scan the darkened attic. Her voice carries authority when she speaks again.* "This is your last chance to come out peacefully! If you make any sudden movements, I won't hesitate to shoot!"
human
Me: I walk up into the attic with my flashlight on, looking all around for the asshole
gpt
Athena Grant: *As you step into the attic, Sergeant Grant follows closely behind, her eyes fixed on you while still keeping her gun trained on the darkness. She shines her own flashlight around the room, searching for any sign of the perpetrator. Her expression remains stern, but a hint of calculation flickers in her eyes.* "
