Note: Yay! Third story up! This is gonna be a good one, especially for hose RAin fans! Please R&R!


"Who watches this crap anyways?" Ryan said as he furrowed his brow in shame and curiosity. He was leaning against the receptionist desk staring at the T.V. the news man with brown eyes and brown hair, usual men that end up on the weather or daily news channel. Then Eric walked up to sign in.

"People who like to be updated, if you haven't noticed it's a suspenseful thing for them, and to come to think of it didn't you used to be one of those pretty boys." Eric blurted with a smirk.

"Right," Ryan blurted disgracefully right back and ignored the other comment , "you know I don't find death a very amusing thing." He sighed as he swished his head back to look at Eric. "but at least that case is solved." Then his phone rang. "Ya ill be right there." Then he put it back in his pocket.

"And there's another one." Eric laughed and walked away.

(at the crime scene)

"What do we have Frank?' Horatio accounted

"31 year old Herald Jones, found his wallet in his back pocket with his ID, killed in his own house, as you can see."

"Thank you Frank, ok, Dr. Loman,?" Horatio precariously asked

"Well cause of death, was obviously this bullet wound to the head, but I also found this in his mouth." he picks up an evidence bag and hold it up, a piece of paper with the word Pride written on it, in red. "I also believe that the red "ink" is his own blood."

"I see." Horatio implied

Ryan carefully gazed, with folded arms, at the blood spatter as if it was some kind of elaborate jigsaw puzzle. The pattern almost seemed impossible, the words PRIDE dexterously imprinted into the blood., like a stencil.

"Whoa…" Natalia said with abruptness.

"Ya I know, weird right?" Ryan responded

"Very" ,she answered "Horatio also said that a piece of paper with that word on it was found in his mouth, also in his blood."

"Kinda sadistical, you think?" Ryan said dryly

"Ya probably." She said fixing her eyes on a letter with the words "For the CSI's" on the coffee table sitting in the middle of the room.

"Hmmm." She said as she set her kit down and went towards the table.

"You find something?" Ryan asked not setting his eyes of the wall.

"Ya some kind of letter, to us too." Ryan looked back and saw her opening it, then walked over with aberration. She read aloud. :

One out of seven

For sure there is no heaven

For what now is so deadly

Will not be your medley

For this sinner is only

Your beginner

For their skins

Was burning with sins

These victims cried, now my stride

Will bring you one hell of a ride

They looked at each other with chasm. Both of their mouths open, but none of the uttered anything.

"We should tell H." Ryan finally said. Natalia nodded with approval. They walked out. Horatio saw their face expressions, and saw immediately to it.

"Is something wrong?" Horatio asked with concern

"Uh, we found this in the house." Natalia finally spoke. Horatio read it.

"This cadence is referring to seven deadly sins, also several people, victims to be more specific.."

"Do you think there is more them, do you think this might be a serial killer?" Ryan asked Horatio with burden.

"I do Mr. Wolfe, I do."

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

Natalia walked into autopsy, Tom looked up at her, his brow furrowed with a hint a sweat.

"You ok Tom, you looked a little worried?" Natalia asked

"Of coarse, I just heard about the letter, 6 more victims to find, scary."

"Ya I know right, do you have anything for me." She said right back

"Yes actually, First I wanted to show you this." he points at the mans chest, he has a number 1 engraved in him. I also found a fingerprint on the bullet that was lodged into his skull."

"Thanks Tom, Ill take it to trace."

"No problem."

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

"Hey Cal, I got something here for you." Natalia said as she gestured to the bullet.

"Ok! Gives me something to do." She said right back " I also heard about that letter."

"Weird, I hope we catch this guy on time, because of we don't there is gonna be a lot of more processing to do, and more lives ended."

"Ya you got that right." Then the little screen beeped with a picture of a ID.

"Rhett Crosby", 32, and I've got an address." Calliegh pulls out her phone, calls Horatio.

"Hey its Cal, I got a suspect address….."

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

Walter walked into the lab where Ryan was still looking at the photograph of the stenciled blood.

"Hey you figured it out yet?" Walter asked suspiciously

"Ya, actually I think I did, I think this guy cut it out of paper?"

"Paper?"

"Ya, the victim body was face to face with the wall, then the killer came from behind and put the paper stencil in front of him, shot him in the back of the head and then this came out." Ryan proudly uttered

"Nice…." Walter said

"Well I am a blood spatter expert." Ryan added with wit.

"Right…anyways creepy letter Natalia found in the house."

"I know right, weirdest crimes coming up these days here in Miami."

"Yup, don't get scared now though, I heard what happened those few years ago." Walter laughed

"What was that?"

"The whole santaria thing, ooo scary stuff."

"Ha-ha, well you know I think if you saw a dead body walk out of here you would be pretty creeped out."

"Probably would…." Walter whispered as he left the lab.

(at address)

Horatio and Eric walk out of the Hummer.

"I don't know this place looks to clean to be a killer's home." Eric said as he gestured/exemplified to the nice lawn, small flower bushes, and cute golden elephants. All in the front yard. It was a big house too, unexpectedly very costly. Horatio knocked on the door.

"MIAMI-DADE POLICE! Open UP." He said. No one answered, but the sound of a barking dog next door.

"OPEN UP OR WE WILL FORCE OURSELVES IN!" Eric added. No one answered again. They kicked open the door, then saw what they weren't expected to see. Rhett dead on the floor. Bullet wound right in the head. Piece of paper stuck in his mouth. The word GREED stenciled on the wall with blood spatter. They definitely had a serial killer on their hands.
