CSIMCL

Vengence Part 1-Victim

Author Notes: Hi guys this is Mako. Now this is a story i've been wanting to do for a long time now. Ever Since Ripping off My Chains. I'm sure you're all aware that this first 3 chapters are actually from the ROMC story. I used it for breaks in the actual story but now it will become a series all it's own.

I will be doing a series of drabbles(for example this one will have 3) Where I will involve different crimes and characters. Review/Favs/Follows would be nice guys ^_^ I don't own MCL.

3rd P.O.V

The new recruit has arrived, it's 12:15 am. He has the knowledge, he's had the training. Now to put his skills to good use. He's been preparing his whole life for this job, and is more then ready to do his part.

His name? Nathaniel Smith, newbie Crime Scene Investigator. "Welcome, you're Nathaniel right? My names Mia, and I'm in charge of this department deary~"

She may look all sweet sunshine and rainbows but she knows her stuff. Here in Sweet Amoris, there usually ain't been too much trouble, however there's been an epidemic of crimes which equal greater numbers of casualties. "Yes it's a pleasure to meet you ma'am."

Due to this rise of trouble, an elite team of passionate officers and investigators have been taken under Mia's wing as a special crime scene force. Their job? TO solve their case and give the officers an extra hand with their expertise.

She claps her hands together. "So polite~ That's good, for you'll need it in the case I'm about to assign you." She turns serious, time to get the show on the road. She goes through some papers handing them to him. "There's been a murder, in the forest on the east side.."

He hadn't expected his first task to be a murder, he was maybe hoping to get a bit of experience then move his way up. Incidentally, so had Mia. But this was too urgent of a matter to ignore.

Our blond rookie glances at the photos and summary report. Victim found dead after midnight by some hikers who happened to come across the body. Police arrived and occupied the scene. No other details yet available.

"Joining you on this case is not only my adorable niece but also an experienced Crime Scene Master. Sheena could you come in sweetheart?" An affirmative before she steps into the room. Ready for action.

"Finally get to meet you, I hear you know your stuff. It'll be nice to have an extra pair of eyes and thoughts on board." They shake hands, looks like things will be nice and smooth between these two.

Her blond and silver hair pulled into a tight ponytail, in a simple tank top and sweatpants, her green eyes illuminating in the dim light. He raised his eyebrow at his new partner. 'She looks as old as me.'

"You two will work together, you can either talk to the witnesses who are currently here at the police station, or head over to the area where the body was found." The newly formed pair talk it over. Both agreeing that it'd best best to check out the forest.

The witnesses already gave a quick recall from both the 911 call and when asked routinely by police. So it's not top priority, especially since with a place like the forest...the more time spent/wasted, the less accurate(crucial) evidence there is to gather.

Nathaniel's P.O.V

"So this is where our new friend is...have to say. Whoever did this was quite brutal." Victim is a male. Blond hair, turquoise blue eyes, I'd say 6 ft 1, 6 ft 2. We won't know any details until our coroner gives us the autopsy however.

I look away from the body with an intake of breath, he had slash and stab wounds all over his body. Whoever did this made the wounds shallow, so that this guy would feel each injury and suffer as he died...gruesome.

Sheena looks on analyzing each and every mark. "From the size of gashes and holes I'd say a small knife, perhaps a multipurpose pocket knife or something similar. And whoever did this could've easily done this ahead of time." Ahead of time? What does she mean?

"I'm confused Miss. Sheena, could you clarify." Her green eyes catches onto my gold ones. "You noticed that these wounds were deep enough to cause excruciating pain yet would kill...yet not kill him immediately right?" I nod confirming so she could continue.

"What I am saying is, the perp could convince our boy here into the forest, attack him and then leave him to die. Depending on the wounds and the situation it could take several minutes to maybe even half an hour to die from blood loss. She walks ahead looking down the dark forest trail.

"But the only way we would've known he was here, were due to the hikers...he could've been left here for days or weeks even and we would've been too late to find any leading evidence." That only brings up further suspicion...what are hikers doing in a deep forest walking so late into the night.

From the looks of it my partner is thinking the same thing. "Nathaniel could you call up Doc Dimitry? You can use my cell. I'm going to take a look around see if I can find some trace evidence further down." I make the call.

"Hello? Miss Sheena?" Don't stutter, remain calm, you are now an investigator.. "H-hello this is Nathaniel Smith, Sheena wanted me to call and ask if you could pick up our dead friend over here in the forest." A light chuckle is heard through the line.

"Ah you must be the fresh blood, no need to be nervous. I'll send someone." He hangs up. As a police officer comes over. "Excuse me sir this is off limits." I frown…"I'm Nathaniel Smith, CSI. I believe I have every right to be here." To prove it i release my id.

Embarrassed he bows his head. "My apologies. Mia said she was sending CSI but I hadn't seen your face before." I tell him it's fine before bringing out my pad and pen, time for some questions. "Your name mister?"

"Kenten, Kenten Jacobs, I'm one of the first officers who arrived and held the scene." I ask for basics, was there anything suspicious, was the scene tampered? Ect...so far with everything seemed to be in order. Nothing unusual

"Nathaniel! I have found No evidence anywhere." What? Nothing!? She comes up...concerned. "How?" Unless our victim has been dead far longer in advanced than we originally hoped, there should be something.

"No blood, no possessions that could have belonged to the victim or the killer...What I did find was a river...If I had to guess any clues we could've processed was washed away by the rapids. In anycase even if there was it's way too dark to see anything."

Damn...at this point there's not much we can do. "We'll have to see if the corpse has anything valuable we can learn and if it's too dark for us to see anything, we'll have to continue further search at dawn" Both Sheena and Kenten nod a confirmation…

Maybe we can find our vic in the databases...otherwise, we got nothing. "I'll hold the scene for you guys when you come back, a group of officers will be protecting the area to make sure no one comes to destroy any evidence."

I couldn't help but frown. Even if the police held the place of the murder, it won't stop the natural elements like animals and the weather from contaminating the evidence. A hand on my shoulder "Don't give up just yet. Everything leaves a trace, no matter how small. We'll figure this out."

She doesn't look like she's given up yet...if anything she seems more determined. She's absolutely right, we've just started, so we don't have much to go on. It just means we'll have to dig a little deeper and harder to catch this crook. "Let's head over to Mia and give our report so far."

Sheena's P.O.V During Her Search

Ok, now if I were the killer and I made such a bloody mess, I would no doubt have it cover me head to toe. If that's the case then I should be leaving a red trail. And yet… as I swirl my flashlight around. "Nothing...could he/she have cleaned up ahead of time?"

If so then our mystery guy has been dead longer then when he was found. But then...how long since he's been there? Or...could he have been moved?

"No, there would still be signs of movement. It's not possible for such a horrendous attack to have been cleaned up. And it would be difficult to do such. It'd be easier to kill him here in the forest. "

Wait...that sound...it's running water. Crap, that's right. That could explain a lot. I follow the sound...It's only a few minutes away from where the body was found. The killer could have easily left the victim to die.

Come here, clean up and then make their way back to find anything that could put them on our suspect list and destroy it. How convenient. This all points to premeditated. Maybe someone who is also familiar with the area.

There should still be something though! It's too dark to see god dang. And from the looks of it my U.V (Ultra Violet) light is busted…not to mention my luminol is empty.

It makes no sense...I check all of my equipment before a case, they worked fine before. If this is a sabotage or prank from one of my coworkers...they're in for it. Hang on just a second...I take a second to remember the wounds of our Mysterious John.

"...The body...from what I've seen in past cases, injuries like those are consistent with passion and rage blows, usually are messy and overflowing with evidence. The killers don't normally cover their tracks because they never meant to kill and are in a panic."

If that's the situation. This person has quite the control and thoroughness of an expert to come back and clean up his mess. Or...the murder never took place here. Ughhhh there are too many contradictions with what's being shown here. Hopefully Dimitry can give us more details after checking out the poor sucker.

I haven't been baffled like this in a long time...and I'm starting to get a very very bad feeling about this. Sigh best go and give our new rookie the bad news. I sprint back, finding Nathaniel and Kenten chatting. "Nathaniel! I have found No evidence anywhere."

He stares at me in disbelief...same expression I wore when I first found out. "How?" He pinches his nose...well might as well be honest. I'll have to consult my theories to him and Mia later.

"No blood, no possessions that could have belonged to the victim or the killer...What I did find was a river...If I had to guess any clues we could've processed was washed away by the rapids."

The same look that appears on all newbie CSI's at some point. Hopelessness...shame and disappointment. "We'll have to see if the corpse has anything valuable we can learn and if it's too dark for us to see anything, we'll have to continue further search at dawn"

I sigh, the best clue at this moment is the boy. We should get something. I gingerly pat his back. "Don't give up just yet. Everything leaves a trace, no matter how small. We'll figure this out." He gives a small smile, it's a start.

"Let's head over to Mia and give our report so far." Not to mention. We still have our witnesses and the police report. This investigation isn't over...not by a long shot.

To be Continued.
