Ch1: The Green Door


Catherine walks into the break room Nick right behind. He goes straight for the coffee machine yawning. Catherine gets the attention of the team with a handful of assignments.

"Nick, 419 at the palms. Greg and Ray, a double 419 in Henderson suspected home invasion. And Sara, attempted breaking and entering." Catherine says handing out the assignments.

"And what might you be investigating this evenin'?" Nick asks finishing his coffee.

"A possible attempted kidnapping," she drawls he smiles.

"See ya," he says leaving.


Greg and Ray arrive at a huge beautiful home with a fancy sport car in the driveway. They walk into the home and see that their home is trashed showing obvious signs of struggle.

"Nice home," Greg says, Ray follows and walks to Dave who is taking the liver temperature.

"What do we have, David?" Ray asks examining the body. The body was of a badly beaten and bloody man.

"Male DB, name is Walter Deck. Couple skull fractures, broken nose, broken eye socket, but three stab wounds to the chest. There are defensive wounds he put up a hell of a fight." David adds standing up.

"Where is the other victim?" Greg asks snapping a few photos of the victim.

"Taylor Deck, she wasn't beaten. She has a stab wound in her upper back then her throat was slit."

"Make sure you run an SAE kit," Ray says taking pictures of the victim. Dave loaded the bodies away.

"Door has been kicked in," Greg says taking a picture. "You think a big house like this would have a security system?" Greg says focusing in on a print that was on the window of the door.

"They might not have had time to activate it or it could be as simple as they forgot to activate it," Ray says walking upstairs Greg follows as Ray enters their bedroom.

"The bed is made so they weren't sleeping," Greg says Ray notices the closet open and sees a large truck. Greg starts looking behind the paintings for a safe.

"Greg..." Ray says opening the trunk his eyes grow wide.

"This case just got weird," Greg says looking at the trunk full of all sorts of sex toys. Ray pulls a brochure out of the trunk. "What's the Green Door?"

"By the looks of it, it's a modern day swingers club,"

"Swingers club? This isn't the 70s, they still have them?"

"Oh yea,"

"Well that just opened up the suspect pool,"

"These clubs are private so it's not like we can just ask around either... It says here that you get the location via text and what the night special is,"

"Night special?" Greg asks as Ray studies the brochure searching for answers.

"They have events like dress up... Or dress down. Who found the bodies, Jim?"

"Jonah Tylin, the victim's boss and neighbor." Brass adds. Greg and Ray walk outside and are greeted by an eager man.

"Hello Mr. Tylin, I'm Ray Langston and this is Greg sanders we are with the crime scene."

"Hello,"

"Can you tell us what happened?" Ray asks.

"I was asleep and my wife actually heard a scream she told me to come over here... When I got over here I saw the door kicked in called 911,"

"Is there anyone who would want to hurt them?"

"No, they are good people... Or were." he says slightly grimacing as if showing he's lying.

"If you know something sir you have to tell us?"

"We weren't exactly friends. He was always rude to his wife bragging about affairs. I bet this means I violate some kind of bro code but his wife and my wife were good friends and I'd hate to see that his wife died because of his actions." he says patting his pockets pulling out his cell phone, his face changes. "It's my wife excuse me," the man walks away on his phone. As other neighbors come out.

"What happened?" a man asks coming out to them.

"There was an incident. What can you tell us about the Deck's?"

"They're nice people... Walter is an ass. I bet he smacked her around, right?

He's an asshole."

"Why do you say that?" Ray asks.

"he's a douche to his wife in front of everyone at all the town events I wouldn't be surprised if she stood up for herself and smack the..." he says trailing off watching as David and the coroner assistants bring out the bodies. His face changes. "Oh god... They were killed."

"Yes," Ray says.

"Oh that is terrible... I got to go," the man says walking off. Greg raises an eyebrow at Ray, Ray motions for the officer to follow the man. The man takes off.


Greg was in the print lab waiting for the results of the print he lifted from the door.

"I have good news and bad news," Mandy says turning away from her computer.

"Ok,"

"I wasn't able to get enough points of comparison to compare with AFIS but if you get a suspect I can still do a visual comparison," Mandy says handing him the results.

"It's alright," Greg says meeting Ray in the display room looking at the crime scene photos. "What are you looking at?"

"I'm just trying to get some insight of the crime," Ray says as Greg lifts there DMV photos.

"Hot lady... Oh she's a cougar. It says that she's 12 years older than Mr. Deck," Greg says surprised.

"There was no signs trace evidence, no prints, what does that say to you?"

"The killer has his act down tight. So he's killed before... Did you check for similar MOs?"

"The computers are checking now,"

"Alright, what are you thinking?"

"At first thought you think the husband was target because the majority of the violence was directed towards him. The wife was stabbed in the back as if running away."

"Her SAE kit?"

"Negative," Ray adds "but at second thought, it doesn't have the chaos of an angry perp but rather a loathing. I have feeling that the perp was jealous and that he's been thinking about this for awhile but something today set him off."

"You're thinking someone he knew?"

"Yea..." Ray says as his computer started to beep. "There are three open cases where a knife has been used. The first one was 6 months ago Mister and Mrs. Walsh were victims of a suspected home invasion. Second was a Mister and Mrs. Pierce 2 months and the third was Mister and Mrs. Mahoney 5 weeks. All of whom were suspected home invasions gone wrong. Each one the wife is at least eight years older. All of whom belonged to some sort of swingers club." Ray says reading the screen.

"Maybe another swinger? A serial killer swinger?"

"Maybe?"

"But how are we going get in the swinger scene?"

"We aren't..." Ray says.

"What if I talk to Brass about getting an undercover?"

"Undercover?"

"It's obvious we have a serial killer,"

"We can't just have anyone, and there isn't enough time to just inform anyone. Who is going to be a believable married couple?" Ray says leaning forward resting his elbows on the table. Nick walks in looking on the floor.

"Can we help you Nick?" Greg asks confused.

"I took off my watch and I can't remember where I left it... How's your case going?" Nick asks abandoning his search for his lost watch.

"Weird..." Ray says "yours?"

"It was an allergic reaction that induced a seizure. So it's kind of natural causes," Nick turns and sees Catherine.

"Bummer," Greg adds.

"Aye Cath, have you seen..."

"It's on your desk, Nicky." she says continuing her stride.

"Good luck," Nick says leaving.

"I have an idea of who would be perfect. Let me talk to Brass," Greg says pointing to Nick and Catherine who are walking side by side.
