Alex did a crouching quarter turn as he tried to get a different side of the scene, only to realize that someone was talking to him. His eyebrows knit together as if he was considering how to speak... which is what he was doing. He knew how but... ah he was putting too much thought into it. He stayed crouched next to everything as he looked back up to the two. Both women. Both of similar height.
Based on line of sight alone they must have been? What? nine or ten feet tall? That was-
Alex realized he was still crouching and stood up suddenly, putting him above the two women. Yes, this made more sense. They were probably around five and a half feet. Both thin and in good shape. Good enough to beat a man to death with a lead pipe? Maybe but it seemed unlikely they would just wander back into the alley if that was the case. Probably not good suspects for this case then. Why were they here though? Alex's eyes glanced past the girls to the yellow police tape, they must have walked right under it. Civilians shouldn't do things like that but the two seemed perfectly unconcerned.
Deduction? They were supposed to be there. At least that was his gut feeling.
Not that he had guts anymore.
Alex realized he had been silent for a very long time. Awkwardly so as he looked at them and around and back at them. He coughed into his hand feeling awkward, though the cough made no sound. He centered himself, trying to feel as much like a person as he could before speaking again. “Hi there. I am trying to help someone.” he said. His voice came out clear... but quiet. The ladies would have little means to know he was trying to speak as loudly as he could. The real world just seemed to always try to devour his voice no matter how hard he tried to speak.
He suspected it was a remnant of his other side leaking between the two of them.
