For [livejournal.com profile] avanti_90: "A strange poisoning"

Set in my abortive Dead Presidents universe.

"Mrs. Patel, could you please explain again how this is a crime?" Detective Blakely asked the middle-aged Indian woman patiently.

"My husband was struck in the back with a dart! That's not assault?"

"Yes, but I don’t follow the other accusation, given he's alive and unharmed."

"Unharmed? He was poisoned by an alchemist's drug!"

"Am I to understand you wanted your husband to remain a weretiger?"

"He wasn't a weretiger, he was a Rakshasa. He had pride! How can he look our children in the eye now, if he's only human?"

Blakely groaned inwardly. Hate crimes were always the worst.
