Sloth Chapter 1
It was a bright and sunny day in Miami, and as the sun began to rise the CSI's were on their first case of the day. A man was killed in his home, and his wife found him when she got home from her night shift working at a local hospital. Horatio stood on the front steps of the home looking down at the body of the man in the doorway. The man looked as if he hadn't been out of bed in days. Tom looked up at Horatio after finishing his examination of the body.
"This man has multiple fractures, cuts, bruises, he was beaten very badly." He said.
"So this man was killed out of anger." said Horatio.
"I'm guessing you can count on that," said Tom. "Someone was very angry with this man, but whats unusual is that there is no signs that he even put up a fight."
"Really?" Horatio asked.
"Yes, and people beaten this badly don't usually just sit back and take it," said Tom. "I'll let you know if I find anything else."
"Thank you, Tom" said Horatio. As Tom took the body Jesse, Ryan, and Calleigh came walking up.
"So did I hear that correctly, this man didn't fight back?" Calleigh asked.
"It would appear that way." said Horatio. "Lets look through the house to see if we can find anything that will help determine who became angry with our suspect."
"I'll go talk to the wife." said Frank. "See if there is anything that we should know about our vic."
"You do that Frank." said Horatio.
"It seems that our vic opened the door for our killer." said Calleigh. "Which means that our victim must have trusted whoever it was."
"Well, it seems he trusted the wrong person." said Horatio.
Authors Note: I know this is a very short first chapter. The others will be longer.
