Chapter One Witness for the Opposition

For two weeks now, Detective Kevin Ryan, Sergeant Javier Esposito have been working hard on there latest case, trying to find a witness having seen a murder just outside a construction site.

William Franklin in charge of supplies for the site the last year. Having been found shot outside of his office, very late that Tuesday evening.

One of the workers working late, in cleaning up his machinery. Ted Waterson decided to take the back entrance by passing the foreman's office.

When he heard gun shots. It was at this point watching behind the concrete wall, he was able to see the person that shot Franklin.

This is when he ran the other way, and disappearing into hiding.

When the call was made by one of the workers of the site the next morning, the 12th precinct and the crime scene unit were called to the scene.

Ryan, Esposito and the newly promoted L.T. went to work right away to find out what had happen.

Lanie, and Alexis now working part time at the county morgue, along with all of her other work.

They had arrived to the scene. As the both ladies went to check on the body's I.D. using the new Palm reader costing the county a fortune to use the device.

Lanie, having to be seeing Ryan and Esposito were on the case. She was able to let them know the name of the person that was shot, along with finding a computer disc in his right jacket pocket.

Some time later at the morgue...

Alexis having to going over the Franklin belongings, she was able to find bank statements crumbled up in his wallet.

She was able to let Lanie know, along with Esposito, who was now back to check further with Lanie for any other evidence.

It was at this point, that something was surely not right at the moment. He would take the bank statements with him, back to the precinct to discuss it with Captain Beckett, and see if she has any insight into the case.

Once at the precinct, even though still relative early, Kate Beckett was getting just about ready to go home the night, and spend some quality time with her husband, now that they are back together as a couple the past few weeks.

It was Esposito, who came up to her before catching the elevator. He was able to let her know about the items that was found on Franklin's body.

She turns around to face him, while letting the elevator go this time around.

"Are there any correlation to what was found at the site, and his body?"

"Not at this time, Captain Beckett!" He tells her.
