It was my first day on the force -- my first fucking day and I had to deal with this shit. I arrived at the scene to be greeted by my less than enthusiastic boss, Commissioner Gates. 
 
 `` You already been briefed?'' He asked, staring me down through those emotionless sunglasses. I simply nodded while staring at the body across the room. The area was well lit, it seemed like a fairly nice place to be minus the body in the corner. `` What do you think it means?'' He said, handing me a letter written in an almost illegible script. My eyes scanned it, trying to decipher the writing. 
 
 `` It looks like'Leave them be' -- what the hell could that mean?'' I said as I constantly reread the letter trying to find some hidden message. I looked over and saw some of the guys bagging evidence being very careful to take pictures of everything before even daring to breathe on it. I walked over to the victim to get a closer look at the scene. The victim was sitting in a chair with a bloody spoon in one hand and a staple gun in the other. It looked as if he gouged his eyes out and put a staple in upper portion of each eye socket keeping the eyelids in the open position. It looked like something out of a horror movie, it looked like he was watching me in death. 
 
 `` Careful with those!'' Gates shouted, causing me to jump. I guess I zoned out just thinking about what would drive a man to do something like this to himself. The evidence guys carefully removed the bloody staples and dropped them into their meticulously labeled bags. I stepped even closer to the victim -- I was mesmerized by the victim's eyelids. They slowly closed, almost as if he was finally going to get to rest after this atrocity. I do n't know why, but I grabbed onto the victims shoulders staring into his eyes as the eyelids closed. I felt as if I was almost sharing some almost religious moment with this guy I'd never known. 
 
 I let go of the victim's shoulders as I reeled back for a second, feeling like I had been punched in the gut. I opened my eyes to view a world completely foreign to me. 
 
 Fuck. So much for my first god damned day on the force.
