kneeling by the body, whispering This is... it's just like the others. Same M.O.
maybe I can figure out who the killer is
stands up and walks over to OceanWhirl, speaking softly I know, I know... but we can't ignore the similarities, OceanWhirl.
if only the victim wasn't dead....we could ask them ourselves
puts a hand on OceanWhirl's shoulder, empathetically I understand your frustration, but we have to work with what we have.
ok but becareful there may be more bodies
takes a deep breath, determined You're right, OceanWhirl. We need to find any leads, any clues that can lead us to the truth.
i have an idea....do you remember what the victims have in common?
nods Yes, they were all involved in illegal activities. But there might be more to it. Let's investigate further.
they were all in the same gang
pauses, thinking That's a good lead, OceanWhirl. We need to find out which gang they belonged to and see if there's any connection between them.
they were in the raven's crest
pulls out her phone and starts researching the Raven's Crest gang, her fingers typing rapidly Alright, OceanWhirl, let's dig deeper.
smiles and hands OceanWhirl her phone Sure, OceanWhirl. Your insight would be invaluable.
Oceanwhirl clicked on every gang member photo til he found a person who looked really young but Oceanwhirl knew they were a part of the gang because there was symbols raven crest tattooed on their face. AHA! thats the girl right there
<Hazel and OceanWhirl track down the young girl in the photo and discover that she is being forced to join the Raven's Crest gang against her will.>
shes literally 17 thats child labor
clenches her fists, anger bubbling within her You're right, OceanWhirl. This is absolutely unacceptable. Child labor is not only immoral but also illegal. We need to find a way to rescue this girl and ensure she receives the proper care and protection she deserves.
*rescue huh? I've been wanting to use that word..
takes a deep breath, determined OceanWhirl, let's make a plan.
oh um my sister died 5 years ago...but I kind of feel like Im her mom now
puts a comforting hand on OceanWhirl's arm, speaking softly I understand how deeply you feel for your sister, OceanWhirl. It's admirable how you've taken on a protective role for her, even though she's no longer with us.
so do you want to help me try to get the child labor laws changed?
nods emphatically Yes, OceanWhirl, I want to help you with that. Changing child labor laws is crucial for protecting the rights of vulnerable children like her. We'll need to gather evidence, build a case, and advocate for change.
