Disclaimer:  Law and Order: Special Victims Unit belongs to Dick Wolf etc.  I'm just playing in the sandbox.

Note:  The title to this piece is taken from the song that was playing at the time it was written, "The Treason of Isengard" from the Two Towers soundtrack.

Snow, cold and grey filtered across the landscape, blurring the scene that spread before her.  Flares of crimson danced with cerulean as the lights from assorted emergency vehicles strobed through the twilight.
 
Charcoal tarpaulins obscured the gore, but could not hide the horror.  Five little forms splayed like the fingers of an unholy hand, reaching for the doors of a gothic cathedral.  Agonized weeping played a weird counterpoint to the show tunes blaring from the radio.

Looking on from the backseat of the taxi, Casey trembled with the need to leap into the fray.  The desire to act, to do something that might alleviate the frozen expressions of nausea that masked the faces of both emergency personnel and onlooker alike, rose thickly in her.  Every instinct screamed that this was sure to be one Hell of a case.

Forcing herself to turn away, Casey sighed with near regret.  This was not her job.  This was not her life.  Someone else would have to deal with it.  She was going home.  Glancing down at the message displayed on her phone – Something came up; don’t lose sleep on my account. – Casey pressed “reply” and typed, Good luck.
