They alley were squeezed between two appartment buildings. It was littered with trash and trashcans, and had a couple of dumpsters aswell. All doors leading out into the alley had been boarded shut, and the fire escapes on the sides of the buildings were constructed so it wouldn't be accessable from the ground. It appeared the buildings were nicer than the alley made it look like. It appeared to be a semi permanent residence for at least a couple of homeless people, but the cardboard boxes they had used for shelter had not been able to withstand the snowstorm, and the alley seemed deserted. Deserted, except for a body.<br/>Gina could tell the dead man was a homeless person, despite the body being almost snowed over by now. He was dirty and unshaved, and his hair unkept. He had a look of shock on his face, and a busted and bloody nose. He had no coat or jacket, and also no shoes or gloves.<br/>Two uniformed officers walked up to them, looking cold, it would be a safe bet to guess they both rather would be in their patrol car. One of them was black, a giant of a man, 6 foot 8, almost 300 pounds, most of it muscle. He had a shaved head and insisted on wearing mirrored glasses even in the dark alley. The other man was white with red hair sticking out under his hat. He was of normal height and looked to be in pretty good shape, but was dwarfed by his partner. He looked to be in his early 40s, and seemed to be in a foul mood. Gina guessed he was the kind of man that always was in a foul mood. He spoke.<br/>"Detectives. The victim goes by the name of "Stinky Pete". We know of him, we have had some dealings with him in the past. A Vietnam vet, wasn't really right in his head. I always tried to go easy on him. He might stink, but he served his country once. His life ending in an alley like this...it's a crying shame."<br/>Adam nodded and let his flashlight light up the alley. "Gina, why don't you tell us what you makes of it, being your first case and all?"
