CRIME SCENE

A typical day for the Miami Dade Police, starts off great, but ends up a mess when a man is pushed off a 14 story high building. At the scene is Alexx Woods, the medical examiner, Calleigh Duquesne, Ryan Wolfe, Natalia Boa Vista, and the one and only, Horatio Caine. All CSI's. Upstairs where the man was pushed off is Frank Tripp, a detective, Eric Delko, Jesse Cardoza, and Walter Simmons. They are also CSI's.

"This guy looks like he was going to celebrate something." Jesse said as he picked up a bottle of whisky.

"Or to drink away his sorrows, look at this," Eric said as he picked up a small box with a note inside. "It is an engagement box. The note says, I'm sorry." Eric handed it to Jesse.

"That is one big rock." Jesse observed.

"We need to find out who this guy is, I'll call down to Calleigh." Eric says as he takes out his phone.

DOWN AT THE BODY

Calleigh's phone starts to ring. She answers it as she stands up from looking at the body.

"No, no I.D. found on him. Wait, hold on a second," she says as she puts the phone down for a moment to pick something up. She gets a puzzled look on her face, but then realizes what it is. "Eric, I think this man is a marine, I'll call you back in a minute." She hangs up. She walks over to Horatio and Ryan.

"What do you have Calleigh?" Horatio asks.

"I think this man is a marine. I found this bronze type lapel. It has an Eagle on it." She showed Horatio the button.

"Thank you Miss. Duquesne, are there any others?" Horatio asked.

"No, not that I can see and there's no I.D. so we're gunna have to rely on finger prints."

"Okay, Ryan go and see if you can find out what service lapel button this is while I talk to Alexx."

"Got it, H" Ryan says as he takes off towards the hummer. Horatio walks over towards Alexx who is examining the body.

"Cause of death?" he asks.

"The fall killed him no doubt about that. The skullcap is shattered; the skullcap definitely came in contact with the ground first. I wouldn't be surprised if every bone in this man's body is broken." She said as she lifted to turn him over onto his back.

"Alexx, are those bruises on his arm?" Horatio asked as he pointed to the right arm.

She looked closer, "Yes, the bruises form a hand print. Someone grabbed him and refused to let go."

"Okay, thank you Alexx." He stood up and walked away.

Natalia was taking snapshots of the victim's blood pool he created. She took a shot from every angle and then stopped, she noticed something. There were drops of blood leading back into the hotel. She followed them. They lead her first into the middle of the lobby. If you looked up in the lobby, you would be able to see all of the levels of the building. Now she was confused because the blood stopped at the elevator doors and when she pushed the button and the elevator came, there was no more blood. She was about to call Horatio when she saw three girls come out of the elevator next to her. They were all dressed up in cheetah print clothes. They walked past Natalia. Natalia suddenly got a strong smell of raspberries. She shook it off and called Horatio to come look at what she found. A few minutes later, Horatio was at the elevators with her.

"We have 14 levels to search for blood drops." She said.

"Okay, go up and have Eric or Walter help you start. I'm gunna go back to the lab with Calleigh and Ryan to find out who our victim is." Horatio ordered.

Natalia pushed the elevator button, and went up.

AT THE TOP FLOOR

"Horatio wants us to search a 14 story high building for blood drops the size of an ant! On every floor, by ourselves!" Walter said. Natalia decided to ask him.

"Yes, well he wants us to start at least."

"Do you know how big this building is? How long? One level will take 2 hours!"

Walter and Natalia continued to talk as Jesse came over.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Natalia re explained everything to Jesse.

"That makes no sense though," Jesse said when Natalia finished. "If somebody got blood on them, there would be a lot more. Unless somebody got hit by blood as the body was falling."

"I was thinking about that on my way up." Natalia stated.

"But there isn't any blood up here, so no blood could have fallen." Jesse pointed out.

"What about blood spatter? When the guy hit, could blood have been sprayed onto someone else?" Walter asked.

"It is possible, but it would have to be a lot to make it drip off the person."

Before anyone else could speak, Eric and Frank came out.

"Frank, what is it?" Jesse asked.

"Found I.D. in the safe, this man is a Marine Sergent."
