Fics like for he had eyes (and chose me)

Peter Jakes can hear opera music which means one of two things: he has just moved into the flat next to a serial murderer or he has just moved into the flat next to Morse. (He's not sure which would be worse.) You can always tell when a case is going to be a big one just by the way Morse reads the incident report, something in the way his head cocks to the side like something isn’t quite right and before you know it there’s three more murders, two accomplices, no witnesses, and several instances of police corruption. In the wide and varied opinions and experiences of Peter Jakes, the look on Morse’s face now – mouth wrinkles deepening to icy crevasses, eyes hard and thoughtful, pen stopped clicking – this is a Morse case. Peter can pick it up too. Four bodies, a note, DeBryn heading to the scene now – It’s a big one. It thrums in the dust dancing in the sunbeams through the window, smudges up against Morse’s ink stained hands, rattles the blinds, fumbles in the silent choke of his cigarette smoke swirling dizzily up to the ceiling. It’s a big one.
