"Eight hours ago?" echoed Ethan. "The body heat suggests that, I guess. But look at the marks on the throat. They're fresh, Jack. And I've seen men fighting and dying in the trenches and some of them turned cold within minutes,"
"Look Lieteunant Day!" said Jack suddenly. "There are footprints heading off in the direction of the sleeping quarters!"
Ethan followed his gaze and saw that there were indeed faint footprints in the dirt. The Lieteunant kneeled down and inspected them gingerly.
"Well done, Daniels," he said to no one in particular. "Good find. But...they seem to be leading from the sleeping quarters,"
The Lieteunant rose to his feet and inspected the bullet in his hand. Suddenly he had another thought.
"Jack, Damian!" he said. "Hand me your rifles! Quick! We need to find what weapon fired the bullet. We need to narrow it down. Keep narrowing it down!"

"EIGHT HOURS!" Lewis shouted "Why thats impossible considering he WASN'T HERE EARLIER" Lewis had walked past that very place just a few hours ago, and noticed nothing.
"Actually," Lewis began to say, "there were only him, and another guy standing here, his name was......." Lewis had forgotten,
Lewis bellowed, "Give me a minute I will think of his bloody name!"
Lewis was thinking, Crow,? Smith? Bergland? Bearss? Carter? no no no ITS Pvt. Crusan!
"I GOT IT I GOT IT I KNOW WHO KILLED HIM!!!! IT WAS PRIVATE CRUSAN" Lewis shouted at the top of his Lungs.
Lewis said,"ohh that evil Crusan never liked that guy anyways can't wait to kill him!!!"
Lewis had it all planned out he was going to barge into the barracks, grab Crusan and his rifle and drag him out of the barracks never saying a single word. He would then bring him over to the body and show him what he had done. Then his plan was to tell him to run down range and run as fast as he could because it was his only way of possible hardly and chance but there a miracle could happen, for him to get away. Lewis would bring his rifle so he could shoot him with his rifle the one he had killed the other soldier with.
Lewis stopped and nicely said "or would that be going to far Lt?"

"A tad," answered Ethan wryly, overlooking Lewis with wary eyes. "But you can't just go charging in without any concrete evidence. You saw him with the victim. That doesn't mean he did it,"
Ethan examined the bullet. He had seen the kind many times before, and had had a good deal shot at him in his time as well. Whatever the case, Ethan knew what had to be done.
"The shot was fired from a Lee Enfield," he stated stiffly. "A Garand at a pinch, but definetely from a standard rifle. Which brings us to you, Jack,"
Ethan turned on the medic and began.
"You were the first person to discover the body, maybe even the last to ever see him alive. You had the opportunity, you are carrying the weapon that may have very well killed him and you conveniently made gaping mistakes in your professional diagnosis despite your extensive training. All arrows point to you, Jack. Do you have anything to say in your defence? Because if not..."
Ethan trailed off and stared into Jack's eyes. It was a ridiciolous notion, Ethan knew that, Jack was a medic. His job was to save lives not take them away. Yet...he seemed almost at edge and Ethan knew that the evidence against him, however shaky, would stand up in court. It was a well-known fact that all men in the field of law were indiscriminately corrupt behind the lines.
Ethan didn't want to do this to Jack. But unless he could give the Lieteunant a substantial alibi, it looked like he might have to.
"What you think I killed this man I've never killed anyone in my life it's my job to save them not take them."
Jack couldn't believe what the LT.was saying.
"I would save anyone's life even the enemy's."
He looked into the LT. eyes and so he cofessed
"Yes I killed him but only because he attacked me. I was carrying my rifle to go to the range and he just jumped out and tried to stap me so I shot him and he jumped on me so I tried pushing him off he wouldn't budge so I had to roll over and I was on top of him so I got up and knocked him out and ran off I didn't strangle him I swear."
He was telling the truth
"The only reason I didn't say was because I was scared that his friend might kill me."
