Bang. Bang. Two gunshots woke the quiet neighborhood. A few people ran outside, trying to see what was happening. A dark, huddled mass lay at the end of the street.

"Someone call 911!" yelled one man.

A woman ran into her house to find a phone. "Yes, hello. There's been someone shot at the end of our street, can you send someone over here?"

"Is the person alive?" asked the dispatcher.

"I don't know, I didn't get close enough to see! Please, just get over here fast!"

"Don't worry, I'm sending someone now. Is there any sign of the shooter?"

"Not that I saw. Just-" suddenly the lady was cut off. The phone fell to the ground.

"Ma'am? Ma'am? Are you still there?" asked the dispatcher.

There was no reply.

Steve was sleeping peacefully in his bed when his phone went off. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Stifling a sigh, Steve reached for it, looking at the time on his clock. There must be a case. Who else would call at 2:30 in the morning? He answered the phone, spoke just for a minute, then got up, got dressed, and left.

"Alright, what seems to have happened here?" asked Steve as he arrived.

"Well, it looks like a man has shot. No I.D. yet. It also looks like a woman has been abducted," replied Chin Ho, who was somehow already there, along with Kono.

"I'm sorry, how are you two here already? I just got the call 10 minutes ago," asked Steve, his tired brain not computing.

"Really?" Kono seemed surprised. "I guess I'm not as important, I got the call only 5 minutes ago. Chin Ho drove me here."

"Alright, well where's Danno?" asked Steve.

"Probably trying to fix his hair," joked Chin Ho.

"Well, let's just get started without him," decided Steve. "He can just catch up later." They walked over to the body.

"Got anything, Max?" asked Chin Ho.

"Well, there are two gunshot wounds to the chest, which are likely the cause of death. His head is also bleeding, most likely from hitting his head as he fell. I can't seem to find a wallet, though, the killer may have stolen it," replied Max.

"So this is theft, also?" asked Danny, causing everyone to jump.

"When did you get here?" asked Kono.

"What am I not allowed to be here? Just because I'm a little later?"

Steve walked away from that argument to speak to the people. "If anyone has any information for us, speaking up now would be a good idea. Does anyone know the man over there or the woman who was abducted?"

"I do," said a man. "Well, I know the woman. She's my next door neighbor. Janet Lane. She just moved from the mainland a couple of years ago.

"Did anyone live with her?"

"No, she's not married."

"Okay, thank you. I'll call you if I need anymore information."

"Anything?" asked Danny when Steve rejoined the team.

"No, nothing. Let's just get back to the station."

A few hours later, they were called into the autopsy room, where Max was waiting.

"So, find anything, Max?" asked Steve.

"Yes, actually I did. First of all, the cause of death was definitely the gunshot wounds. Also, I found a fingerprint on our vic's jacket. We have no I.D. on him, or the fingerprint yet, but I sent them to the lab for DNA testing, so they should be back soon."

"So, we pretty much know who our killer is?" asked Danny.

"Well, not necessarily. There are a number of ways the fingerprint could have gotten there, but it is a lead," replied Max.

"Alright team, let's wait for the lab to get back to us. When did you say you sent it?" asked Steve.

"I didn't. But I sent it around half an hour ago. We should get the vic's name first. I'll let you know the second I get anything." promised Max.

Don't expect another update for about a week. Seriously, I'm like the slowest updater ever. Luckily, I already wrote the action-y part! R&R
