Chapter 1: Crime Scene

Horatio exited his hummer at the most recent crime scene of the day; ducking under the yellow tape he made his way through the front door that was open and entered the kitchen where he found Tara Price their newest Medical Examiner. Looking over the victim of that morning; "Good morning Tara; what have we got?" Horatio asked glancing down at her; taking off his shades and silently cleaning them with his navy blue dress shirt. He glanced at the female victim of which lay in a fetal position on her right side in the kitchen; he felt a pang of sympathy for the girl. She can't be much older than eighteen… Horatio thought to himself as his friend Frank walked up to them with the ever present frown on his face; he glanced at Detective Tripp and gave him a nod. "Do we have an id?" Horatio asked as he kneeled to her level to get a closer look at the victims face.

"Neighbors say her name is Alison Collins; 18." Tripp replied to Horatio's question while he jotted something down on his note pad; looking behind him as two hummers pulled up; Ryan Wolfe and Calleigh Duquesne exiting one and Eric Delko and Natalia Boa Vista exiting the other kits in hand. Frank nodded to them and returned his attention to Horatio; "Every one of her neighbors said they didn't hear or see anything at the time of the murder." Frank sighed and closed his notepad; glancing at Horatio once again.

"Figures."

"Do we have COD?" Eric asked as he made his way over to the trio after he and the others signed in at the yellow tape; "Or ID?"

"Poor girl was killed before she could even experience life." Ryan replied with a shake of his head as Tara tilted Alison's head to the left revealing a dark bruise along her neck. He shook his head again earning a look of concern from Calleigh as she looked at her boyfriend with a blank expression.

"As for cause of death it looks to be strangulation; bruises running along the front of her neck." Tara replied as she began to put the body in a body bag. She stood and left the crime scene.

"Thank you Tara." Horatio said to her retreating back; frowning a little the younger they are the harder it is on her. He looked over at his team who were now standing side by side in front of him. "Alright; Mr. Wolfe you and Eric are to check the rest of the house for any sign of a struggle." He ordered; "Calleigh and Natalia you guys are going to check the perimeter for anything out of the ordinary." He received a nod from all of his team and they went to do their jobs.

Eric rounded the corner exiting the kitchen with Ryan hot on his heels holding a camera; they entered the first room on their right which had looked like a bedroom that had a tornado run through it. "You think that this is a good sign that there was a struggle?" Ryan asked half joking; snapping a couple pictures of the room in front of him.

"You think?" Eric replied with a wry chuckle; putting a pair of latex gloves on to sort through the mess. He noticed something that looked like a print on a broken mirror. "Wow, it looks like the attacker didn't like his reflection." Eric muttered to himself as he began dusting the print getting a partial Ryan snapped a picture of it as Eric moved out of the way; retrieving a tape lift from his kit he lifted the print and took a glance at it. Placing it into a manila envelope he handed it to Ryan who put it into the kit at his feet. Eric found a few more partials and Ryan had taken a few more pictures as they were getting ready to pack up and head back to the lab.

"We find anything that would be a sign of struggle?" Horatio asked as he entered the room. "Obviously." He corrected as he glanced around the room shaking his head slightly. "Have you found any prints or anything." He asked as he put his shades on and rested his hands on his hips displaying his firearm and badge.

"We found a few partials H." Eric replied; "We were about to head back to the lab process them." He finished as he put his tools back in his kit.

"Okay Eric; Mr. Wolfe did you get any photographs?"

"Yeah I did H."

"Okay; I would like you guys to head back to the lab and process it and I will be there to see what the results are." Horatio ordered as he made his way out to see what Calleigh and Natalia had found.

Calleigh and Natalia were searching the perimeter when Natalia kneeled down and noticed a bloody knife on the grass; "Hey Cal; there is a bloody knife on the ground here. Did the victim have any stab wounds on her body?" Calleigh made her way over to her and knelt beside her taking a look at her friends find; placing a marker beside the knife and taking a photograph or two of it.

"What have you found ladies?" Horatio asked making his presence known; he received a confused look from Calleigh and Natalia as he stopped in front of them.

"We got a bloody knife H." Natalia replied; Horatio looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Bloody knife? There were no stab wounds on the victim." Horatio announced;

"Could this mean that there is another victim somewhere?" Calleigh asked; echoing their very thoughts.

"Or our suspect is wounded." Horatio replied as he made his way over to his hummer.

TBC?
