Alicia’s eyes wandered in the direction the ambulance was traveling, it lights no longer flashing.  When it passed by the pawn shop she noticed a blond woman in a long coat holding an umbrella watch the emergency vehicle drive by. The woman looked in the direction of the police barricade, turned her back to it and disappeared around the corner.  The once interested crowd started to return to their lives as police began to investegate the rain-soaked crime scene.
