Rated : T for cursing later and cos I'm paranoid, plus not many children would be reading this anyway.
Spoilers: Not in the beginning, will let you know if there are any later.
Pairings: D/L mostly, maybe a bit of F/A & SMacked
Disclaimer: Own nothin, except the sawdust. Ha ha :D
a/n: This is my first real fic, apart from a short oneshot, so I dunno, not much experience here. Criticism is appreciated.
a/n 2: I almost forgot, it takes a while for this to get going, its not just about a case. The vic may have a certain significance later on.
Lindsay Monroe ducked beneath the yellow crime tape, hoisting her kit behind her. She smiled at Det. Angell who directed her to the body.
"Young women, looks to be in her early to mid thirties. Single gun shot wound to the shoulder. No handbag, so no I.D, drivers license, credit cards, nothing," she finished.
Lindsay nodded, this was going to be a tough one.
-
The crime lab was was understaffed due to a flu going around, and because of a high amount of crime being committed, everyone was working hard, with a few lab techs being called out to the field.
-
Adam Ross joined her at the body and handed her the camera.
"I finished photographing the scene. We got very little to work with here, but I found traces of wood shavings just over there," he said, indicating to a spot just a few feet away.
"Also, there are a few isolated drops of blood near to that lamp post, I was just about to test the side of it for blood when you arrived,"
"Good work Adam, I'll analyse the body and we'll get it back to the lab to confirm cause of death."
Adam nodded and turned to the post. He began spraying it at about head height to test for blood.
"We're positive for blood over here," he called back to Lindsay, "Maybe our killer banged off it during the murder, and tried to clean away the evidence,"
Lindsay nodded in agreement.
"Get samples of it it back to the lab and see if we can get a doner," she advised.
-
Lindsay put down her camera and pulled over the collar of the vics t-shirt. There was a very large hole with small pieces of, what appeared to be, wood shavings in it. Adam bent over and helped Lindsay turn the body,
"Through and through with a very powerful gun" Lindsay stated, "Possibly a sawn off shotgun. It wouldn't have taken long for her to die."
-
On they way back to the lab Lindsay couldn't shake the feeling that she knew the woman.
"You ok?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, I just have this feeling, like I recognise our vic or something," Lindsay replied.
Adam shrugged, "It'll come to you."
a/n 3: Ok, should I continue or quit while I'm ahead, your choice.
