	In the middle of the floor lay two men. Their guts were ripped open, black, viscous blood spattered on the floor. Rib bones stood starkly open, brown with oxidation, black with blood and buzzing flies. Yellow and brown piles of intestines lay unraveled around the corpses like lines from a child’s maze. Gobbets of organs, feces, and bile splattered the consoles and drive wheels of the bridge. The large, black gobs of flies buzzed and moved, keeping a counterpoint drone going as the stench of the room became almost unbearable.		In the middle of the floor lay two men.

	Ling also pulled on gloves and squatted. Her diminuative stature brought her close in to the bodies. She used a small, ultra bright flashlight to examine the male before her. He was oriental, probably Chinese. His skin was dull grey and waxy, the blood left in his head pooled at the back of his head. She carefully checked his mouth with her gloved fingers. His teeth and tongue were intact. Couldn't say the same for everything lower on the body. Once in the thorassic cavity there were no intact organs, just the splintered space of bones torn apart. The insides had dried with a dull sheen. Gordie moved to the other body and mimicked her. After probably a minute of silent examination Ling clucked her tongue. "The major organs are gone."

	The ship was a long, low slung cargo ship. The majority of the ship was a broad, flat area filled about half full of cargo containers. Its hull was a dark grey, it's upper level a bright shining white with broad red stripes. The waves slapped sullenly against the hull below. As they stepped off on the main deck of the ship, the wind dropped, and a profound stillness hung over the ship.		The ship was a long, low slung cargo ship. The majority of the ship was a broad, flat area filled about half full of cargo containers. Its hull was a dark grey, it's upper level a bright shining white with broad red stripes. The waves slapped sullenly against the hull below. As they stepped off on the main deck of the ship, the wind dropped, and a profound stillness hung over the ship.

	Both Gordie and Ling walked toward the steering cabins, their footsteps loud on the hollow metal floor. At the foot of the bright yellow stairs going up to the ships bridge, there were pieces of torn clothing on the deck. Spatters of dark ~~good~~ marked the deck and stairs. Gordie and Ling both took defensive positions, and drew their service weapons, looking up to the opaque reflective windows of the bridge.		Both Gordie and Ling walked toward the steering cabins, their footsteps loud on the hollow metal floor. At the foot of the bright yellow stairs going up to the ships bridge, there were pieces of torn clothing on the deck. Spatters of dark goo marked the deck and stairs. Gordie and Ling both took defensive positions, and drew their service weapons, looking up to the opaque reflective windows of the bridge.

	The two agents went up the switch back stairs in tactical maneuvers, watching for movement from the bridge. There was none, a pervasive stillness held the ship. Even the breeze dropped, as the world stopped with an intake of breath to see what came next. At the top, they paused on either side of the door leading to the bridge. It wasn’t closed all the way, standing open, the light drone of insects coming from the inside, a sullen, coppery smell of blood and feces coming from the inside. Gordie used hand signals to instruct the next moves, ling watching his face tensly. Gordie used his off hand to swing the door open. Ling took the low, Gordie took the high and the two entered the room, clearing it. The two agents moved around the room making sure no one was hiding here, avoiding the devastation on the floor.

			A horde of people in dark FBI jackets and smocks started down the pier towards them. Most of them carried tools and camera's, tape and plastic. There were an even dozen of them, and Gordie waved his hands at his team. "Let's pull back so the crime scene guys can work. Ling you are with me. Juana and Mark I want you to hit the Port records and find me everything you can in relation to this container and the ship. The clock is ticking, and I expect to start getting phone calls about this any time. I need information to use and to dodge. I don't want to get side swiped by information we should have had."

			Ling pulled off her gloves and moved to Gordies 4 o'clock, pulling her long dark hair free as them moved.
