Marcus knew he was too late, and grimly walked over to the scene. He holstered his revolver and looked down at the remains of the victim. "Christ. She can't be any more than 14 years of age." He knelt down and moved his hands through the gaping wound in her abdomen. Just as he thought, all of her organs were missing. Most likely eaten, or harvested for some darker purpose. Nobody had seen The Ripper and lived to tell about it, so nobody knew his intentions. Was he a mortal man, or some type of ghoulish beast. He removed his gloved hand, and removed some of the bloody mess that was gathered up around his glove. He looked towards the other two men and sighed. "Wait for the others to get here, and we'll move the body back to the headquarters to examine it fully. Something about this victim is different. He usually takes all the organs but for some reason I don't see any entry wounds around the skull." He swallowed hard. "Her brain might still be intact." (So, let's not rush things and wait for the others to post :) )
