Greg hopped out of the taxi and looked around to make sure he was at the right place. Quickly, he moved to stand underneath an awning and look around for the others.
Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
Clayton walks up to the area, "So how you feeling... Greg? Is that right?"

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
Liz emerges from the Marble Arch Tube station and strolls down Cumberland Gate until she reaches a point where she can cross over to Broad Walk. When she nears Speakers' Corner, she recognizes Greg and Clayton and waves to them as she approaches. "Morning, chaps," she says. "I managed to get a good night's sleep, at least. Came up empty, though. I hope you've had better luck."

"Hey Liz", Clayton brightens up as she approaches, "Just what I heard on the news, which was pretty much what we already knew."

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"Morning..."
Jacob greets the others as he approach and gets straight to business.
"I had a weird dream when I left the airport, nothing of importance to me since everything was so tense, I waved in out of my mind till I saw an email from Liz, telling me she had the same dream, where I was locked in a house, everything was barred and there was something abstract and unrealistic creeping outside."
"I was looking for similar stories on the news but failed to find one. No suspected terrorist activities in any airport in Europe. I even went further with my imagination and thought about the memory loss but I found that time was the same at my watch and my laptop’s clock."
"The girl is the key and we must somehow obtain the photos of her injuries and find out her name. Come to think about it, it could be some nasty work, but we can call all the adoption agencies in London and search for the Albanian girl. Her nationality is rare enough so we can hit a success on that matter."

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"Mornin' Jacob, I also had a similar dream on the way back to my flat yesterday. But we can probably narrow our search down, it was probably social services that placed the girl. And probably the office closest to the airport." Clayton replied.

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
Greg responded, "I had the same dream ... as I left the coffee shop yesterday on the way to the library. I tried a little searching for stories of lost time and dehydration in the library archives, but came up empty. However, this morning I did find some rather interesting articles regarding body parts with ritualistic runes carved in them."
He pulled out the articles that he had printed out and passed them around so everyone could read.

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"I didn't find anything about missing time and dehydration either," says Liz. "We can try to look into this bizarre shared dream, but I wouldn't count on finding anything about that either. Maybe it's something post-hypnotic. Only way I can think of that we could all be having the same dream. But it looks like these murders are our best lead. This second article quotes Rachel Musrati, the landlady at the College Bar. I'm not sure how much she'll know, but it may be worth talking to her. Then we can check out the factory where they found the body parts. I'm sure the coppers already went over it, but maybe they missed something - and maybe they didn't know what to look for."

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
Greg responded, "Well... Here are the things I've noticed about those articles. 1) Two separate women appear to be affected in both cases. We've met one in this case, maybe there is another? 2) Both of the incidents report a burning of the victims... whatever caused the conflagration certainly could be related to dehydrating or faster burning cigarettes. What if these other victims are some sort of spontaneous combustion? That means the girl they have in custody is in great danger, as is anyone in her immediate vicinity. As for seeking out these old sites where the body parts were found, I fear so much time has passed that there's hardly any chance of anything important being found there. However, if we could find out who these other four women originated, and our fifth mystery woman who is in custody, we might have a chance of identifying where they were all from ... and just possibly come up with some correlation that way."
Greg also states, "Perhaps these incidents are related somehow to astrological events... alignments of the planets, or a passing comet, or something else that might trigger some sort of ritualistic timing. We could look back and see if there is any relationship to our current date, June of last year, and August 2006."

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"Well, they're each ten months apart," points out Liz. "Maybe that's just a coincidence, but maybe not. I've heard of spontaneous combustion, but it's also possible that whoever killed them simply burned the bodies to destroy the evidence or as part of some ritual. Or they might have been burned while they were still alive, the same way the Albanian girl was. And what's this about a faster burning cigarette? One of you mentioned one before, but you never explained what it was about."

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
Greg interjects with a shrug, "It takes a great deal of heat to completely burn body parts. Bones are remarkably resilient. And that sort of heat isn't likely to leave parts simply scorched around the edges. This has all the elements of classic cases of spontaneous combustion. The ritual symbols are something new though."
Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"You may be right," says Liz. "It's worth looking into, at any rate. Here's another thought: we should talk to the reporters who wrote these articles. They've already done some of the legwork. Also, there's a possibility for the significance of ten month gaps. The human gestation period is a bit over nine months. All of the victims were female too. Now, the girl we saw sure didn't look pregnant. She's rather young to have been anyhow, though it's not impossible at her age."

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
I saw one of the airport employees smoking a cigarette and it burned so fast I thought I was dreaming … but could be the result of personal tensions and nerves.
Jacob reply
I agree, finding patterns with dates and locations on the map can prove useful when dealing with fanatical psychotic murderers. I wonder if there was a progress with solving the cases, maybe I can use some connections with the state's prosecutor or someone from the police to give me some information.
Turning to Clayton he add
Trying social services is a wise idea. We can take this route either. The girl could be in a grave danger for herself and her surroundings.

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"I wouldn't discount what you saw," says Liz. "There may be something to it. I didn't think smoking was allowed in the airport except in designated areas, but that doesn't mean nobody does it. Which employee was it? The Oriental-looking chap?"

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
Yes.
Jacob reply to Liz
I think that I'm trying not to believe what I saw ... the miracles god shows us are much more then a quick to burn cigarette.

Re: IC - CH1 - Speakers corner
"That is true," says Liz. "There must be some scientific explanation as to why that cigarette burned so fast. I just haven't got the foggiest idea what it is - yet."
