Kitty's booted feet clomped their way through the City Guard station as she finished filing her paperwork for the night. Once that was done, she turned and headed off to find the Chief. He was sitting on the corner of some girl's desk, waving a handful of paperwork around while yammering on about needing more magically enabled guards.

He was an older man. White hair in the temples, crow's feet about his eyes. Lines around his mouth from the constant frowning that came with his job. He looked up and spotted Kitty and smiled. "Kitty! How's my favorite dock patroller doing" Something wrong?"

"Nah Boss. I just wanted to let you know I've decided to help the Scathachian women in finding that killer. I live down that way, and you already have me working over there. Might as well put it to use."

The man nodded as he looked at her. "Well, that's probably a good idea. Most of the men are afraid to go there at night. The women won't venture down there at all anymore. You're about the only one we have left who's not afraid. Speaking of which, the Guard's councelor is worried about you. She thinks you have a death wish."

Kitty smirked at him. "Nah. No death wish. I just don't fear death. So you don't have a problem with my doing this?"

"Of course not, Kitty. What about that Isuelt woman' What do you think about her?"

Kitty rolled her eyes. "Boss, that woman *is* the Sanctuary. She wants this murder spree to end as much as we do. Whoever this is, they obviously despise the Sanctuary and all those associated with it. If anything, I'm afraid they're going to try and go after her."

He frowned as he listened to her, then nodded. "Alright Kitty. You seem to trust this woman, and that does carry some weight to it. Actually, I think it would be a good idea if you took over this investigation."

"Uh....Boss. I don't think that's..." she stammered

"I don't want to hear another word. You're taking over the West End murder investigations and that's final. You're the most qualified, the least likely to get killed in doing it, and I trust you to get it done. Now get on it!"

She just blinked at him for a moment before mumbling. "Alright boss. I'll let you know what I find."

She turned on her heel and headed to the Sanctuary to let Isuelt know of this latest development.
