"Two of the drug rings were non-Other members only, but the last one contained several confirmed Others."
As Pitch said this, he pulled out a list of those victims found at the scenes of each crime along with any information they had managed to collect on them. He spread these out alongside the photographs and started to read a section on one of the better-known members from the Others drug cartel. However, when Esme mentioned that she felt like she had seen something similar before, he put the page down at turned his yellow eyes on her.
"Familiar how?"

"Just something seems familiar about like I swear I have seen similar cases like this when I was younger..." she said trying to remember or at least rack her brain for something. "Or at the least my family saw something and talk about it... gah this is gonna bother me... I might go down to the cold cases see if there is anything else... maybe I am just imagining things but something smells fishy..."

"If your instincts are telling you to do so, I would follow them."
Pitch stared at her a moment longer, almost as if he were trying to pull the information they were discussion directly from her brain. However, a second later he looked back at the files before starting to flip them shut and straightening up in his stance.
"Either way, this will take time to unravel. We are currently the head detectives on this case, but should the need arise we have been approved to bring in backup. For the time being, let us avoid bringing in anyone else until we know it is necessary."

"I agree this could simply be a vigilant at work but... let me go look in the cold case files and see if I can pick anything..." she says searching through their databases and nearly let out a shriek of victory after going at it for ten minutes. "Thought so this was around the time of my parents though... I was maybe five or when this happened." she said turning to the printer and printing the necessary files. "See these crimes are almost identical to the ones we have currently but the suspect trail went cold when drug tests came back negative wait... Pitch did Anna do a thorough blood/drug analysis on the victims?"

In the time Esme was gone, Pitch researched the locations at which each murder had been committed and had memorized the addresses. He was just shutting down his station when she arrived back in the office, a look of triumph on her face and a stack of files taken from the cold cases. She started to explain how the crimes had occurred when she was a child and how they were almost identical but had petered out to nothing in the end.
No witnesses, no evidence, no conviction.
She then question him on if Anna had run blood tests on the victims. He had remained perfectly silent in his chair as she spoke, his fingers pressed together and his posture relaxed. Now he spoke at her sudden inquiry.
"It is standard procedure on all autopsies that the blood be tested if any remains and it is in the proper condition. Anna's results came back positive for drug-use but only with substances the cartels themselves had been dealing in. However, there was a single unknown compound found in the blood of only the Other cartels, but as far as the medical examinations show, it did nothing to them."
This was the one inconsistency across all three killings. Everything else matched nearly perfectly at each scene from the attack patterns, the murder method, the lack of evidence, everything except this unknown substance in the Others."

"Interesting... that it was in the Others victims not every one..." she says sitting down in her chair. "My father talked about a victim who managed to get away apparently the guy had come to him for medicine because my father was a voodoo man who worked primarily as a medicine man for the Others. Apparently this guy came in sick as a dog but nothing out of the ordinary but all he remembered from the attack was that he was force fed something. It triggered something almost like food poisoning in his system." she says looking over her father's statement looking a bit misty eyed. "The guy is still alive and lives fairly close by if you wanted to go talk to him see if we can get a clue?"

"Later. Right now we are due to meet with the investigators at the crime scenes."
With that said, Pitch handed the addresses to Esmeralda before turning and walking away from her as if she were the one lagging behind and not caring in the slightest about her memories. They had a crime to solve and walking down memory lane would have to wait.
