Characters: Kate, Javier, Kevin, and Lanie

Disclaimer: I don't own, and don't sue because it's just not worth it.

Author's Note: I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter; it was a little shorter than I had originally planned, but it was the only real place to end it. I'm sorry if updates are a little odd, but work will be crazy for the foreseeable future, but on the plus, mom's been released by all of her doctors now, so hopefully I'll have some more writing time now.

Kate groaned as she climbed out of the "Wow now that's a lot of balloons. Hey Lanie, did we interrupt a kids party or something?" Lanie shook her head as she pointed to the two guys in clown suits that Kevin and Javier were interviewing, "How's your working knowledge of horror movies?" Kate shrugged "I know they make good date movies." Lanie arched an eyebrow at her "Anything you want to share with the rest of us." Kate groaned as she moved towards the body "Not first date, but after a couple of months, I'm not opposed to a little couch cuddling." Lanie sighed as she thought of the man currently down in the Hampton's…if only Kate moved faster and he had ditched the Twinkie.

Kevin sighed as he walked toward his boss, how did I end doing this again? Oh yes he remembered very clearly…Javier got him drunk and one little missed placed bet that he never ever would have made sober later and now he got this 'assignment' just wait two weeks will be over before you know it, and then he's mine. Kevin shook himself out of his musings to realize that Kate was looking at him for answers. "Sorry Boss, lost in thought there for a second. The two guys over there were hired actors that the convention brought in to reenact scenes from various horror movies. They were supposed to set up a scene from the movie It. But found her instead." He made a motion to the body and watched as confusion passed over Kate's face; "It?" Javier groaned "It was one of the cheesiest horror films ever made. The killer dressed up in a clown suit and announced his presence to the teens he was stalking by floating balloons in front of them. The killer later reappeared and went after them again years later." Kate nodded "Do we know who our victim is?" Lanie shook her head as she came back over with more information from the CSI guys. "Hi, the good news is CSI guys have found some more information. The bad news is it's not a lot. According to the id we found her name is Abigail Johns, a 24 year old student at NYU. She put up one heck of a fight against her attacker, there are some blood and clothing fibers under her nails, I'd put time of death sometime late last night, around 11pm-1am. I'll narrow it down more when I get her back to the morgue."

Javier sighed, "Can we get a rush on it Lanie? Those two guys didn't know who she was and we need to check the party supply stores." Kate looked surprised at him. "Those two brought their own balloons, and this isn't them, they showed me the boxes and even opened them in front of me." Kate looked around and shook her head in disbelief "okay so we find everyone who bought a ton of balloons, and hope Lanie can get a good DNA sample. We have to have more evidence for a warrant to obtain DNA than just a hunch."

Kate me updated Lanie, I'm going to head back to the precinct to start the white board. You'll page me when you get somewhere." Lanie sighed writer boy taking off with the Twinkie, he'd better come back because Kate needed him. "Sure, we'll be right down." Kate nodded as she went to get into her police cruiser to go back to the station and seeing a note.

"Dear Kate,

We could have been great together just you and I. But you just had to want someone else. If it wasn't him your job keeping us apart. I really hope you enjoyed my surprise Kate. Don't worry, there's more coming and in the end…you'll find out to whom you belong."

Kate sighed as she held out the note to the waiting CSI tech to bag into evidence. While she looked to Kevin and Javier. "Oh no not again, please tell me you two were pranking me" Nope" Kate sighed as her car was being double checked. What no one noticed was a man with binoculars a few feet away. "Don't worry Kate; soon it will be just you and me." He left and followed the other cars back to the 12th "Who knows, maybe I'll get you sooner than you think."

A/N: okay what did you all think, and what do you all think so far. Next chapter is the preliminary results and murder number two. Which horror movie will hr kill out of next. Thanks
