Having returned to the lab Catherine and Grissom began processing the car while Greg logged the evidence they had already collected as well as informing the other CSIs of the case. As they performed a more through examination of the car, having already taking swabs of the blood spatter and the bloody fingerprint they were able to focus their search in the back seat. Lying on the back seat and on the floor in the back of the car was a wallet and a cell phone. Also, stuck in the back door of the vehicle, on the same side the body was found was a business card that was in a foreign language. Examination of the trunk and rest of the car turned up nothing else, finally satisfied they had found everything they could in the car, they logged the evidence they had found and headed off to the Morgue. Dr. Robbins greeted them and began to detail his findings.

"Okay, first things first, here's our victims DNA and Fingerprints, COD, blunt force trauma to the head and as for TOD I'd say about three hours ago".

Grissom nodded.

"The meal he had at the restaurant was definitely his last".

"Yes, as you'd expect from a restaurant of that expense all the food was expensive too. No alcohol of drugs in his system, in fact the vic treated his body like a temple".

Catherine then spotted something.

"Looks like he took a swipe at his killer".

"Yes DNA under the finger nails, I collected a sample for you, here".

Having collected the evidence from autopsy the CSIs returned to the lab to analyze the evidence.

They started by running the victims DNA to verify if it was indeed Georgy Molotov, but it turned out he wasn't in CODIS. Although it soon became obvious that all the blood at the scene was definitely the victims. They ran the DNA under his fingernails but again there was no match. The blood on the baseball bat was the victims, verifying it as the murder weapon, after singling out the valet's footprints they attempted to make a comparison to the others, they got a match to a military boot. They then checked the fingerprints, the victims fingerprints matched and came back as Georgy Molotov, they also verified that he was a Russian Air Force pilot. They attempted to match the bloody fingerprint but it was only partial print, luckily they were able to get a fingerprint off the business card and the baseball bat, the print on the bat was a partial but the card provided a full print. They examined the prints and found they all belonged to the same man, a man called Mikheil Beria, according to his file he too was a Russian Air Force pilot but had received a dishonourable discharge due to some mental health issues. They then examined the cell phone, after a careful analysis all the phone provided was a threatening voice mail in Georgian, the same language as the business card, the wallet was confirmed to belong to the victim and provided an address, after examining all the evidence in their possession the team discussed what they knew so far. Grissom started running over their discoveries.

"Okay, our victim is Georgy Molotov, a Russian Air Force pilot, murdered with the baseball bat that was deposited in the car, likely deposited because the killer was in a hurry".

Catherine continued.

"The prints have come back to a former Air Force pilot named Mikheil Beria, a man who was fired from his job due to mental health issues, there may be a connection there, anyway, a man, possibly Beria threatened the victim in Georgian, Beria also left behind a business card that was in Georgian".

Grissom then continued.

"Other than that, all we can tell is that this was a vicious and apparently unprovoked attack, our only choice now is to see if we can examine the victim's home address and see if there's anything to find there, according to his records he has no next of kin. Sara, Nick, Warrick, the three of you head out and examine the victim's home address, the rest of us will try and find a connection between Beria and Molotov".

So following the meeting Sara, Nick and Warrick headed for the victims home, as they left they noticed the weather, it was thunderstorm time in Vegas.

The thunderstorm was at its loudest when Lindsey and Ed were woken up by Sharon's crying, Ed spoke.

"I'll get her".

Lindsey shook her head.

"You got her last time Ed, I'll get her, it'll be fine".

With that Lindsey got out of bed and hurried through to Sharon's room, Sharon was lying in her cot, curled up and trembling, Lindsey quickly scooped her up and gently began to rock her.

"It's okay sweetie, Mommy's here".

"Momma...scawed".

Lindsey smile gently and sat down on the small chair next to the cot, she continued to soothe her daughter.

"There's nothing to be scared about now".

Sharon slowly nodded her head and soon her cries stopped and soon her breathing became more gentle and relaxed. Her eyelids began to grow heavy and soon she was asleep again. Lindsey smiled again and gently laid her daughter back in her cot, after watching her carefully for a minute she headed back to bed, reassured Ed that everything was fine and then soon, they both fell back asleep.

End of chapter, the CSIs continue their investigation and are heading to visit the victims home. Net up will be the investigation of the victims home where an interesting connection will be found. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
