Deep in the LAPD morgue,Ella pulled Maze's blade from Pierce's chest slim blade was slick with Piece's blood which made no sense from a scientific standpoint. He had been dead for held it up to the light and examined the point. No freaking way. Ella was prtty sure she had seen this knife's twin. "So,little knife, you pierced Pierce?", she asked, laughing at her own joke.
"Ella,find anything yet? I'm pretty sure the stabbing is what did him in but you know protocols. Weapon, cause of death, motive?", Dan asked robotically, laying his head on her work table.
Ella put the knife behind her back,"Well, yeah, he was stabbed but I don't have the weapon. I'm pretty sure the motive was self defense. We all know what , did you fill out your report yet?"
Dan, worn out from trying to close the case, didn't notice the odd look on the forensic scientist's face, "Nah, I'll do it tomorrow. I made plans to help Charlotte's ex-husband and her kids arrange her funeral. Poor guy has his hands full."
"Right, gosh. I feel so bad for him. Hey, why don't you get some rest? I know you don't want to be in here when I give him the "Y", yaknow?", she said pointing to the body behind her on the slab.
"Point made. See ya tomorrow, Ella and thanks for having faith in me and trusting my insticts."
"It's what I do", she said, giving him a quick hug while the blade was tucked up her sleeve.
The automatic doors opened to let him out an Ella exhaled deeply. What to do, what to do? Holy cheese and crackers, she knew what this blade was and what it could do but her biggest question was, who did it belong to , Lucifer or Chloe?
Shaking her suspicions off,she laid the blade on her desk bfore she sat down next to the corpse of Marcus Pierce to perform the official autopsy. With a steady hand, her scalpel sliced right down the middle of his chest. Suddenly, his hand flew up from the table and twisted her wrist, "Stop that!"
"Holy shit. Jesus freaking Christ! It's alive!"
