Two people were dead, killed in the same manner as a major case from two months prior. The police and the subway company staff were both at their wits' end.
No one would ever rejoice at the news of a death, especially the company's staff, whose faces paled at the thought that the killer had struck in the subway tunnels they worked in.
The maintenance crew, who did the same job as the deceased, looked particularly disturbed, as uncomfortable as if they had been constipated for a few days and the medication still hadn't worked.
The maintenance crew insisted on additional staffing.
After considering the gravity of the situation and consulting with the workers, the higher-ups agreed to an increase in maintenance staffing levels.
From two people a crew, it increased to...
Ten people!
Ten people a crew!
Each armed with a defensive electric baton.
No one cared whether they were supposed to carry out maintenance or patrol duties.
Every base was covered.
