"All These Parts And Pieces"

Hello, guys and gals. Jeez, I hate that word. So anyways, this is my first Law and Order: CI fanfic I've published online. I usually write Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis stories, and while I do write CI, this is the first I've put up, so yeah. Well, hope you like it:0D

Chapter 1

"Yes, she was very caring," the woman told her friends.

"For her cats, maybe. Come on, Marie, she was a witch," a friend stated.

"She wasn't all that bad, when I got to know her. Anyways, I have to go. Chao," said Marie, standing from her seat in the kitchen. "Oh," she said, turning. "Thank you for having me over. Your cooking is wonderful, Jerry," she told the butler, who nodded.

"A few moments later, she was in her car, starting it up. That was when she felt the gun to her neck.

"Just drive. I'll tell you where to turn, and when. No funny business, or you're dead," said a man's voice, gruff and irritated.

The woman did as she was told, and pulled out from the curb. She finally got the nerve to look in the review mirror at the man, only to find him wearing a ski mask. "I'll give you my keys," she said shakily. "You can have the car, take it anywhere you want. I haven't seen what you look like, please."

"Shut up! Turn left up here," he said, pressing the gun harder to her neck.

Marie turned and took a deep breath to calm herself. She continued driving, and the car began to accelerate.

"What are you doing?" he asked. "Slow down!"

"I...I'm not doing it, I swear," she said hysterically.

"Stop! Stop the car, now!" he shouted.

"I can't, the brake's not working!" Marie told him frantically.

"Dammit!" he shouted.

The were heading toward a building as he opened the door and jumped out. H landed hard, bones cracking, blood already covering the ground. Not two seconds later, the car hit the wall, bursting into flames.

"Seems like a random carjacking. Two victims, one of 'em's male, we think the other's female, but it's hard to say. Seems the man was in the back seat, had a gun on the person in the car. The person ran the car into the building, God knows why, and he jumped out, broke his neck, among other things, but that's what killed him," said a man from the CSU. "Question is, why'd she run into the wall in the first place?"

Bobby was working on the man, while Alex stood by and talked to CSU, taking notes.

"Maybe...maybe she knew who he was? He was gonna do something, and she didn't want him to get away with it?" Alex guessed.

"No, I don't think so," said Bobby. "H-he landed a few feet back, rolled here. He would have had to have jumped at the light pole. Sh-she would've had time to stop. I-if she didn't want him to-to get away, she would've stopped, probably come back and...and run him down. There's no tread marks, so she didn't try to stop. She would've came back...she didn't stop. Maybe because she couldn't?" said Bobby.

"Someone cut her brake fluid line," Alex agreed.

"They wanted to kill him, her, or the both of them. Maybe this carjacking isn't so random," Bobby said.

"To the autoshop?" asked Alex.

Bobby grinned. "To the autoshop." He stood from his position by the body, and walked to an officer beside the blackened car. "H-have them take the car to CSU's as soon as possible. A-and cjeck the brakeline. We think it was cut," he explained, then looked at the body in the car. It was burnt to a crispt. So much for luck in finding a driver's liscence.

A moment later, Alex came up by his side.

"Not gonna make it easy, are they?" she asked him.

"Why go this far?" he asked quietly, as he pondered the question. he kneeled by the body, pulling on a new pair of gloves. He reached in underneath the stearing wheel and pulled off trhe woman's shoe.

"Part of her foot's missing," he told Alex.

"How'd you know?" Alex asked.

"There's blood on the floorboard. It happened recently, right after the crash," Bobby said.

"How did someone get over here to a burning vehicle and cut off part of a person's foot without anyone knowing?" Alex asked.

"M-maybe the streets weren't so crowded earlier. It's four o'clock," he told her.

"Rush hour," Alex concluded.

"So most of the people would have been on the main roads," Bobby said.

Alex frowned at the bodies. "What the hell's going on?"

Welp, there it is. It's actually two chapters in one, but I couldn't have a chapter 500 words long, that's too short, even for me. Please review, that little button right down there...I know you see it! Now press it! Bie:0D
