Sorry it took so long to update. I was planning updating again last week, but everything got crazy with the holidays and then I was out of town visiting my parents. Hope everyone had a great weekend! :D


Leave


Calleigh and Eric walked into the club. Peach Fuzz was a notorious hook up club where young people would go for a quickie with a stranger. It was early in the morning and they were tired. They were short handed and no one could seem to get a hold of Jessica and Ryan.

"Do you think they flew the coop?" Eric asked.

"I don't know." Calleigh answered, "Knowing those two they're probably just sleeping in. You can't blame them though, it is their day off. They probably don't want to be disturbed."

There was a herd of people inside the club, all of them potential witnesses, none of them allowed to leave. The victim was found on one of the beds dead. She was a young woman, late twenties, blonde hair, blue eyes, no ID. No one knew who she was except for the man she was with. He was early thirties, brown hair with brown eyes. They had hooked up at the club but he didn't know who she was.

Tom wasn't there yet, he was hung up at another crime scene. Calleigh and Eric were to take pictures, collect evidence, and start interviewing witnesses.

"Alright, you want to start interviewing and I'll take the bed?" Calleigh asked Eric.

"Sounds like a plan." Eric responded, "Hopefully Tom gets here soon."

Calleigh walked over to the bed. She looked at the young woman. Her short blonde hair fanned around her head and over her face. Calleigh sighed and felt pity in her heart for the young woman. "Poor girly," she whispered.

Calleigh pulled her camera out and started taking pictures. Her phone rang and she pulled it out. Jessica's number flashed across the screen. "Hey girly, what are you and your hubby up to?"

"Calleigh you need to leave the scene," Jessica said to her.

Calleigh stood there confused. "Jess, what are you talking about?"

"Calleigh, you and Eric need to leave the scene. You can't process this."

"Jessica, are you going to tell me what's going on or am I going to have to guess?"

"Calleigh, just leave and call Stetler and have him send someone from the graveyard shift."

"Ok Jess, I'm done with the games." Calleigh lifted her camera as she spoke. She snapped a picture of a condom wrapper under the victim's arm. "I have a crime scene to process at a hook up club and it's going to take a while to get through all the witnesses. When you want to talk we'll talk." She pulled out her tweezers and reached for the condom wrapper.

"Don't touch that bed!" Jessica yelled

Jessica's voice echoed in her ear. Calleigh stood and looked towards where she had heard Jessica yell. She had heard her twice; once behind her and once through the phone seconds later.

Calleigh saw short blonde hair and a blue shirt duck behind someone. She walked towards the group of witnesses. She walked around the pack of people and watched her come into view. Jessica stood there with her phone pressed against her ear, Ryan's arm wrapped around her shoulders. She looked terrified and Ryan held her close to his body.

Calleigh's hand shook as she lowered her phone and hung up. She walked away and started looking for Eric. She found him talking to the victim's date.

"Eric, we need to leave, now!" Calleigh told him.

Eric looked at her confused. "Calleigh I'm in the middle of an interview. I can't leave now."

"Eric, there is going to be a major conflict of interest if we don't get out right now!"

"Calleigh, what are you talking about?"

Calleigh didn't say anything. She grabbed Eric's arm and turned him towards the crowd. Eric felt his heart stop when he saw Jessica and Ryan standing together amongst the club goers.

Calleigh dragged him from the club, leaving her kit where it sat by the bed. "I really hope you didn't get anything valuable from that guy."
"We just started talking; the only thing he's told me is his name is Fred Jones and he doesn't remember her name."

"Good because we could have a massive problem on our hands right now."
