Murder in Miami: Prologue

Summary: While investigating not one murder, or even two murders, the team is forced to investigate twelve murders with the number rising. Spread thin and over-worked, the team begins to miss clues. After a team member becomes a target for the serial killer, it's up to the rest of the team to save them. Can they solve the case before it's too late, or will the CSI Miami team have to plan for a thirteenth body; one of their own?

Speed is still alive

Another day at the crime lab. Another case that calls the team out to face all sorts of danger. Another day that he would be able to see her, to talk to her without letting her know that the friendship they shared had slowly begun to change over the past two years. Horatio Caine was in love with Calleigh, though he refused to admit it.

"H, the sheriff called fifteen minutes ago. Are you coming to the murder scene or should I grab Delko?" Speed asked while leaning against Horatio's door impatiently.

"I'll go. Does it sound like the serial murders we've had in the past week and a-half?" Horatio stands and walks to the elevators with Speed.

"From everything that's been relayed so far, yes. Another girl from Southern Miami who lived in the richer areas of town. Single, never married, and also a teacher."

Horatio nods. "That's the fourth one in two days. He's picking up his pace. Something is making him want to work faster. It's time to find out what it is." He slips his sunglasses on his face and gets in his car.
