I Have Never Been to Minneapolis: Las Vegas Manhunt
The Fleur de lis killer is back and now killing more victims one by one. Now the police and CSIs are here to catch this killer for good. And this time with a little help of two people: one an old friend from back in Minneapolis and two a sister that everyone thinks is delusional. But now Morgan is having trouble telling everyone the truth about Kaylie when the CSIs and police want to use her as bait to lure the killer out. Both Greg and Morgan aren't willing to go this far or is it time to finally bury the hatchet? Is it time to uncover the truth about the past and what Kaylie knows? Will they be able to uncover the secrets and lies this killer has been hiding? Will they be able to find this killer on this manhunt? Worst of all are they all ready to pay the toll from all the lies, secrets and betrayal?
Chapter 1 He Said, She said
Russell, Nick, Finn and Sara entered the asylum in a mental institution. They got wind of two employees and a crazy inmate got murdered. Nick, Finn and Sara went to the dead employees where David Phillips was looking at them. Russell entered the room and looked and saw a female victim.
He kneeled down to look at the female body seeing the red-bronze straight hair. Then there were the unusual but striking purple-blue eyes. But there was also that pure innocent looking face. She looked to be in her mid to upper twenties.
Just then he got a call on his cell phone. He grabbed it and saw that it was Greg. He pressed the talk button and answered.
"Hi Greg." said Russell as he started observing and collecting
"Russell the Fleur de lis Killer is back." said Greg
"Are you sure?" asked Russell
"Positive. The staging, the kid, the eyes and the painting on the back all the same everything detailed exactly the same. Morgan is talking to the kid." said Greg
"Alright I'll finish up here and go help you with the Fleur de lis Killer." said Russell right there "You guys can't do this alone."
"Sounds great. We'll see you back at the lab." said Greg
Russell clicked off and looked at the cell phone right there. He couldn't believe this. The Fleur de lis killer is back. And now he's going to help Greg and Morgan find this guy. This guy is notorious as nothing stopped this guy but he did. He hibernated but now he's back and going to take control of Las Vegas. Russell is not going to let that happen.
"Her names Anna." said a female voice as Russell was confused and turned around "The victim"
"Sorry I just got a call from some co-workers. I got kind of out of it." said Russell right there as he looked down
"The Fleur de lis Killer is killing again isn't he?" said the female
"I can't divulge that kind of information." Responded Russell
"Please he attacked me and raped me all those years ago. I want this guy in jail." said the female right there "I'm Kaylie."
Kaylie stood right there looking at Russell with light and clear blue eyes from her years being stuck in the joint. Her chocolate brown hair was a complete mess but it did go all the way down her back till about halfway. Although she didn't look it Russell could tell that she was once a beautiful young girl.
"You could be useful to our aid on the investigation now that I think about it. I will get it cleared with the workers to take you out of here." said Russell
"Really?" replied Kaylie
"Yep. Take whatever you need." responded Russell as he went out to get everything clear with the people who work there
Greg and Morgan entered the crime lab with all their evidence. Morgan gave hers to Greg who took it so he could give most of it to the technicians or analysts to look over it. While Morgan walked over to Russell's office to inform him what they know. But when she got there she saw her father standing out there having an outraged conversation that could be mistaken for a brawl. Morgan hid by the door but kept an eye on the conversation.
"You should have told me that you took a patient out of the mental institution. I have the right to know and to go with the go ahead, to okay it." said Conrad Ecklie
"She can help us Ecklie." replied Russell
"Even if they can help us. I should know this I'm the Sheriff." responded Conrad Ecklie
"Well she identified the mental institution patient Anna Jacques. We don't know what else she knows about the shooting. But she was there. She's a witness to the crime. Even if she is crazy, delusional or whatever the reason is for being in there. But she's going to help us." said Russell right there "Are you okay with that?"
"I'm fine. But next time tell me before you do something." informed Ecklie to him "Now is there anything else I should know?"
"The Fleur de lis Killer is back." sighed Russell
"What?" Ecklie's face fell
"Greg called me at the crime scene that his is the exact same from nineteen years ago. The guy's back Ecklie." said Russell
"No one was able to catch the guy back then. He's be even more ruthless now and bent on seizing control and take Vegas by storm." said Ecklie as he rubbed his forehead
"That's where the patient is a double whammy. There she is." said Russell as he pointed
As Ecklie turned around so did Morgan. That's when they saw Kaylie walking by. Morgan's face fell right there as she hasn't seen her older sister in six years. She looked more sallow, whiter, paler, sulky and weak. The place made her malnourished and weak after all the years. Morgan was completely immobilized by the face. Finally she got up and entered Russell's office as she saw her father's eyes closed.
"Ah, Morgan. What do you have for me on the killer and crime scene?" asked Russell
"You let go of a patient at the mental institution." said Morgan
"I had to. She was our only link to the killer." Russell informed
"But-" started Morgan
"I just had this conversation with your father. I don't want it from you." responded Russell
"Russell-" Morgan tried to continue
"It's done." said Russell
"Can I go talk to Kaylie?" asked Morgan
"Wait I never said her name. You know her. How do you know her?" replied Russell astonished and surprised
Morgan stood there not know what to do or what to say. She never wanted anyone to figure out the truth about her. So why did things get so complicated all of a sudden. It was a secret that wasn't supposed to be out of the bag. But now the cat is out.
"Kaylie's my daughter." said Ecklie right there
"Dad." Muttered Morgan as she turned and looked at him with a look
"And Morgan's older sister." said Ecklie right there "She went kind of crazy a week after the Fleur de lis Killer kidnapped, attacked and raped her. He went after her because she wrote the first newspaper article about him portraying in a bad light."
"I will be careful Ecklie. Morgan can try to control her while I will put Greg on evidence." told Russell
"Actually Greg knows about her. He found out ten months ago when we were in Minnesota." Responded Morgan
"Okay I will then get Nick on the case as well and he will deal with the evidence. While you and Greg deal with your sister." said Russell
"Okay." responded Morgan
"Ecklie, Morgan I won't tell anyone about Kaylie. I will let you guys do that yourselves in your own time." said Russell
Morgan stood there with her hands over to her hips but also covering the pocket area of her jeans. She never thought that this would ever happen. That a day like this would ever come. She thought that the Fleur de Lis Killer was done and over with. But no he came back and is going to take control of this city. She does not want that to happen.
She sighed right there and looked at her father who knows that his other daughter was being put in harm's way. He was a little hesitant about Morgan being a CSI and following in his footsteps. But he saw that she really wanted to pursue and was passionate about it. So he let her go through it. But now he is being more protective of her older sister now that she's out of the mental institution so she could help the police catch a serial killer that attacked her and raped her.
Morgan saw Kaylie off to the side sitting down on a chair feeling a little uncomfortable about being here. Morgan closed her eyes because she knows that things for her aren't going to be the same anymore. She kind of has a bit of an estranged relationship with Kaylie. But now she is going to try to get that rekindled so she can help them out.
All of this is just crazy. Sometimes she thinks that she has had enough of this of being here, being a CSI and working with the police. That she thinks that she might be done working here after this case blows over and is done with. That she is ready for a change in her life.
She's even in a relationship with her co-worker Greg Sanders but nobody knows about it. He is an amazing guy and can see a future with him. They really want to keep the whole thing a secret for a while. Only because they know how, the rest of the crime lab would react to it, her own father and also because it breaks lab regulations. That you aren't supposed to be with someone on the same shift or else you will get separated into different shifts or are going to be forced to break up. But Morgan doesn't want that to happen.
Right now what she has to do is to move and look forward. She's going to have to work on the case. Then what's she's going to do is, is figure out what she's going to do after that.
