Summary : Written for [community profile] primeval100 challenge 689, “Tell me the truth.”

“I’m so very sorry, Mrs Lever.”

DI Jamie Cross steered the trembling woman to the sofa.

He hated this aspect of his job as police liaison to the Anomaly Research Centre. It invariably involved spinning someone a pack of lies when they were grieving.

“I can tell you that your husband died instantly.”

Being smashed into a tree by the tail of something big enough to demolish a house had definitely been instant.

“Tell me the truth,” she pleaded.

“That is the truth, I promise you,” he said.

It was the only thing he could tell her that was true.
