Re: Marvel, SVS office→Staten Island: Louis D & Cris M
Louis noted Cris crossing himself with a look that lingered, briefly, before turning his attention to the bag in Cris' hand. "Could they have been raised in captivity?" he wondered aloud. "Bred and then used for...this?"
He looked at the body again, and felt nothing, which was interesting. No disgust, no revulsion. More than the simple lack of fear, it was as a numbness, the sense that something should be there where the empty lack of sensation resided.
He turned to Cris, away from the corpse that lay in his mind like a void, existing in theory but not in emotional practice. His mind turned over the possibilities - elaborate revenge? Perhaps some tie in the murder 'weapon' to a past wrong? Did locusts even do this sort of thing? "I most likely won't," he admitted, "But I'd be more than happy to hear any feasible explanation just now."
