Time and Death (Prologue/?)

Back a couple weeks ago, ladychi and I issued a challenge with each other to write a crossover with J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts)'s In Death universe with Doctor Who. Both of us emerged with monster fics from this and this is the prologue for it. Lots of love also goes to aishuu for lovely brainstorming sessions.

Title: Time and Death
Characters (Pairings):
From Doctor Who/Torchwood: Ten, Donna Noble, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness (Ten/Rose)
From the In Death Series: Lt. Eve Dallas, Detective Delia Peabody, Roarke, Chief M.E. Morris, Detective Ian McNab, others (Standard pairings from this series apply)
Rating: M.
Spoilers: In Doctor Who, this takes place after 4.07 and disregards anything to do with JE, River Song, or what have you. We're going to just pretend that series 4 ends this way. ^_~ For the In Death series, it takes place after "Innocent in Death," but you do not have to be current on the series to enjoy this story.

Summary: In New York 2060, a series of corpses appear all with the same strange mark - a chest cut open to reveal two hearts. Eve Dallas is looking for a man she believes is obssessed with creating a medical miracle, but she's not quite sure who's at fault: The strange British man in a pinstripe suit and his companion, or the stranger blonde who keeps appearing and disappearing from each crime scene before she can be questioned.

( “I assure you, Lieutenant, that despite how it seems, I do know enough by now not to contaminate a crime scene.” )
