The chirping of her comm startled Mara out of her awkward slumber. She had fallen asleep on the couch after an evening of wine, pizza, and a binge of the best moments from Space Love Island, and it was supposed to be her weekend off, no calls, her editor had promised. However, there he was, calling her comm and she paused, wondering if she should send it to silence, but instead she answered it. Mara rubbed her eyes with her palm, listening to him explain the situation, she knew better than to argue, and he also knew she would follow orders. Rolling off the couch, the woman quickly changed her pants and gathered her belongings. She was not worried about the rest of how she looked, the speeder ride, though short, would give her curls some flair and it was dark enough that no one would be necessarily looking at her make-up. Though a quick glance in the mirror would bring the woman an ease that she looked somewhat presentable.
The speeder ride to the crime scene from her flat was unusually quick, it was a garden commons, clearly an obscene murder in such an area spoke of white-collar crime and corruption. It would make a great piece to draw in readers, let them repeat the questions she will ask, and light the fire under the feet of the cops. Action was something Mara enjoyed seeing, but she had to get close enough to the scene. A crowd had started to gather around the area, the garden was a fairly public place that many on Coruscant visited in this area by themselves and with their families. Perhaps it were to be a warning of something more, or something greater...Mara could only hope of course.
She pulled out her holocam and started recording as soon as she arrived, trying to avoid getting trapped with the crowd, she pushed her way up front to get a clearer view of the crime scene.
