Chapter One:
Welcome Back Crime.
She sat on her couch just waiting for something to happen. Nothing. She looked around her house, what could she do to pass the time? So she got up and walked into her kitchen, right when she was about to grab some food from her refrigerator, her cell phone rang. Damn it! Where did I put it? She questionedas she ran around her house looking for her phone. When she found it she answered with a very calm and collected voice. "Duquesne." Knowing who was calling already. "This is dispatch, you are needed at Miami U. a young women was found in the locker room." How did I know? She questioned herself. " Yea I'll be right there."
He was driving through the busy streets of Miami when his cell went off. I bet it's an ex. He mumbled to himself. " Delco." Waiting eagerly for a response. " This is dispatch, you are needed at Miami U. a young women has been found in the locker room." Well as long as it's not an ex, granted it's still my vacation. " I'm about five minutes away." He pulled a quick sharp right turn. The car behind him was honking annoyingly.
As she watched her kids play with their little kitten, she thought of all the things she's seen in her line of work. Having to cut open someone's little child, spouse, parent. " Honey!? Your phone's ringing." Called her husband from the kitchen. It's too early to have to face this. She said inside her head. "Hello this is Alex Woods." With her usual warm greeting. " This is dispatch, you are needed at Miami U. a young women has been found in the locker room." Alex took one last look at her little ones. " I'll be there as soon as possible."
While reaching for his new jug of pine cleaner he thought to himself I'm glad Eric's not here or I would be getting hazed. Buthis phone ringing interrupted his thoughts, as he dove across the room to answer it he tripped over his rug. With a painful voice he greeted the person on the other end "Wolfe." Hoping it wasn't Eric or Calleigh. " This is dispatch, you are needed at Miami U. a young women has been found in the locker room." Thankful that it was dispatch and not his colleagues. " I'm on my way there right now."
Arriving one right after the other the CSI's piled in. "Welcome back, I hope everyone had a good break." Horatio said as he turned to look at his team. On the far left was Calleigh he could always count on her to have a smile on her face, then there was Eric. Horatio always knew that Eric would be there no matter what the crime. Alex was always the first one there to tend to the victim's body. Then there was Ryan the "new" guy that was still getting used to being a CSI. " I had a very good break H." Calleigh chimed in with her usual perkiness. "No matter how short it was" Eric joked, being pinched playfully by Calleigh. "What? I was only kidding." He remarked with a smirk on his face. "Guys I'm going to need you focused on this case, the young girls family is going to want answers." Horatio said making sure that his team would be focused. " It's pretty gruesome in there, are you guys ready?" Horatio asked looking at his team. "Yup." Replied Eric and Ryan together. " Ladies first" Ryan chimed. Calleigh rolled her eyes, then only now noticing that Detective Berkley was the detective on the case. Eric to had to just noticed it, and with an "accidental" bump of the shoulders he walked right by him. " Excuse you" Jake, said with a little annoyance in his voice, refocusing his attention to the beautiful blonde that was walking by. "Hey, I tried calling you last night." Jake pointed as he started walking beside her. "I was really busy," Calleigh said knowing that; that was the farthest thing from the truth. With a little nudge Ryan walked by Calleigh and whispered "Now wasn't that what you said to Hagen?" Calleigh shot him a quick glare.
As they all walked into the locker room they heard Alex talking to the victim feeling so sorry for the young women. "You're barely old enough to be in college honey, and now you're ending up on my table. You deserved so much better." Turning to see her colleagues Alex was a little startled. "You're right Alex so let's find the monster that did this. Do have a COD or TOD yet?" Horatio said with anger and concern in his voice. "I can't give an exact one on either, but I can give an estimate one both." Alex said trying to make the team feel better. "Ok. Let's her your thoughts." Calleigh chimed hoping it wasn't too brutal. " Well she hasn't gone into rigor yet so I'm guessing 2-3 hours ago. It was most likely internal damage." Alex looked down at the girl. "Who did this to you?" She asked knowing she wouldn't get an answer. "Well let's find out the COD and TOD for sure." Horatio said taking Alex's thoughts off the brutality of the case. "Alright see you back at the lab." Alex said to all her colleagues. The rest of the CSI's taking photos, collecting blood samples, and interviewing witnesses. Before Horatio got in his hummer he took one last look at his crime scene and his team. Alex and Ryan were on their way out and talking to each other. Eric and Calleigh were talking and laughing at each other. And then there was Jake just following behind, almost like a third wheel. He watched Alex's team load the young girl into the back of the M.E's van. Then he put on his sunglasses here we go he thought and stepped into his hummer.
