she and he are not officially partners because the Preternatural Branch marshals never have partners
Isn't that a bit of a stupid idea? You'd think, if you have law enforcement officers targeting a species like vampires, who are generally pretty remorseless killers, would go out in pairs. To prevent a marshal being killed and no one finding out until the body turns to goo. Or being turned into a vampire and going back and killing everyone.
"His throat was savaged on one side so there was no way to check for a pulse; it was gone, torn out."
Although checking for a pulse is a moot point, the pulse isn't just in the neck. It can also be checked in the wrists, the inside of the elbow, the groin, behind the knee, the ankle joint, and the foot. There's also a bodily pulse in your stomach, but mostly, the pulse is checked wherever an artery is compressed against a bone. So, shut up Anita.
I was an equal-opportunity executioner; I killed everybody.
Yeah, you kill everybody. Whether it's legal and justified for you to do so is another matter.
I've been reading/watching the Millennium Trilogy over the past week, and I just thought 'oh wouldn't it be awesome if there was a spitefic where Lisbeth Salander exposed Anita for what she is!' when my dream was crushed by me remembering everyone knows what she does and just doesn't care enough to stop her. Sigh.
