Horatio walked into the break room, giving his team a smile as he headed for the coffee pot. He glanced around when he felt Calleigh's presents beside him.
"Mornin Handsome, Yelina called and she wants to know if we are going to Ray JR's soccer practice?"
"Yes we will how about we go to dinner at The Olive Garden first?" Horatio asked with a smile.
"Sounds good to me," Calleigh said as she leaned up for a quick kiss. Horatio's cell phone rang as he pulled away.
"Caine yes we will be right their," Horatio said as he hung up and turned to his team.
"What is it Horatio?" Ryan asked.
"We have a young woman at the local pool that was shot then tied at the bottom of the pool and drowned. Everyone grab your kits and head out," Horatio instructed as he turned and headed out of the break room.
Horatio walked up to Detective Trip. "Hey Frank, what have we got?"
"Thirty-year-old Cathy Daniels."
"Who called it in?"
"Someone who was walking around the pool cleaning it for the day's rush."
"Thanks Frank," Horatio said as he turned and walked over to Alexx where she was standing at the edge of the pool.
"Hey Horatio, I was just about to climb in. Luckily for me my swim suit was in my car. The kids and I went swimming yesterday." Horatio flashed her a smile as he gently helped her into the pool.
"What about TOD?"
"By her liver temp I would say about four hours, and that is also taking into account that the water would cause the temperature to drop quicker. I think she was killed by the gun shot, but I won't know for sure until I get her back to the lab. Poor baby you didn't imagine that coming to the pool would ever be what ended your life, did you honey?"
"Thanks Alexx, let me know what you find?"
"Of course Horatio," Alexx said as she gave the body haulers the signal to move and help her get the body onto the ground for the CSI's to look at.
"Actually Eric is going to dive under, and collect what evidence he can first," Horatio said with a wave over to Eric who came over in his diving gear.
After several hours of processing they hadn't came up with a lot. Calleigh was able to figure out that the bullet used in the shooting was a .45, but there wasn't a lot of evidence to gather, due to the water.
"I think we found all the evidence we are going to find for now H," Speed said as he walked up to Horatio who was holding his sun glasses in his hand.
"What evidence were you able to get Speed?"
"We were able to get a lot of prints, most of them are partials, but unfortunately there are a lot of people who go to the local pool, so searching through them is going to take forever," Eric said with a groan.
"Nice work you and Speed can start running through the prints, and Ryan can help you when he is done tracking down witnesses."
"Ok sounds good to me Horatio." Horatio gathered his team around him.
"I tell you what. Why don't we go back to CSI and start processing the evidence we have now, ok?" Everyone nodded and walked back to the hummers, and headed back to CSI to start processing the little evidence they had.
