January drabbles: Kate

The last-but-one drabble in the January challenge goes to Detective Kate Lockley.

Title: All Scully
Author: Beer Good ([livejournal.com profile] beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Kate
Timeline: s2
Word count: 100

The last case they let Kate solve before she's fired is open-and-shut, fit for a rookie or a washout. A man beat his wife to death for no reason whatsoever. His entire defense: "Bitch had it comin."

It's impossibly simple. Two years ago, she'd have been insulted. Now, she spends all night with her secret book collection looking for an Evil Thing that would do something like this. She finds feeding habits, sacrificial rites, mating seasons, but not "Bitch had it comin." He's all too human.

The man gets life.

A vampire saves hers.

She's still trying to solve that.
