It was exactly 3:45 in the morning when his cell went off. Groggily, Danny made a grab for the phone, missed, and slammed his hand on the edge of his bedside table. That woke him up.

"Danny,get up. We got a body in the west side of the park. How long will it take you to get here?"

"Give me thirty minutes, if the traffics good." He answered.

Stella gave a small, light hearted laugh, "I'll buy you some coffee to help wake you up."

"I'm already awake."

"Couldn't sleep?"

"Something like that. See you in thirty-ish."

"How could some one not notice this happening?" Danny had just arrived at the crime scene and was shocked at the carnage before him.

"Perp crushed her larynx so she couldn't scream, then he laid her open while she was still breathing."Hawkes answered.

Almost everything was painted red. The victimwas positionedunderneath a large tree, the base of which wasconveniently hidden by some bushes. Her clothes were hanging loosely from her body, and she was cut open from her jaw down to her crotch. Just by looking, Danny could see that several of her interal organs had been removed.

"This is disgusting."

He turned and saw Lindsey rooted in place, gazing around the scene. "How could someone do this?"

"There's alot of sick people this city. You better get used to it, Montana."

"Sick or not, we have a murderer to catch. Lindsey, you and Danny look out on the path. See if she came here willingly or by force." Mac siad calmly. "Stella, Hawkes and I will cover in here."

While he was talking, Danny's cell phone went off. Turning to answer it, he quickly walked a ways away from the scene. Mac looked after him for a moment, then continued.

"We need to find out who she is so see if can find a wallet or a purse. Some kind of ID would be great."

"You got it." Lindsey said and followed Danny out of the scene. But before she made it out, Danny rushed back in. He looked scared.

"I gotta go." he said quickly.

"Danny, what it is?" Mac asked urgently.

"It's Louie. Something happened. Somethings wrong."

Don't hit me I wrote this at 4:45 to 5:12 in the morning 'cause I couldn't sleep. I've noticed this is a pattern for my stories. I guess I really am a night person.

Anyway, please review. If you like it, great! If you don't, so what. It's not my problem.

And I'll update later 'cause I'm moving out of my dorm room in two days.

Peace out!
