******************
Lisbon, Cho, and Rigsby arrived at the crime scene and quickly got to work. Cho went straight to forensics, while Rigsby went straight to the local cops to find out any information they needed. Lisbon went to her usual spot when they got a new case; the body.
Lisbon knelt over the body, though the second time today, it seemed more real this time around, now that she had her team there. The girl was indeed a victim of a homicide. Shot to the back of the head, and there were signs of possible sexual abuse.
This case was going to be tough. The girl only looked to be about 16 years old. And she wasn't typical looking either. Straight long blonde hair, hair most girls dream about. And bright green eyes. Lisbon only knew this because when she first saw the body early this morning, the girl's eyes were still open. The first thing Lisbon did, out of respect, and to clear her mind, was close her eyes. It was hard to concentrate when you felt you were being watched by a dead body.
Lisbon stood up just as Cho was making his way over.
"Forensics says cause of death is the bullet to the head. Rape kit came up empty for fluids but the bruising contests that she was raped."
Just as Lisbon was about to respond her phone vibrated in her pocket.
"Let forensics know they can have the body." Lisbon turned away from Cho as he walked away and answered her phone. "Lisbon."
"Hey boss." Van Pelt on the other line sat at her computer. "I have Taylor McLane's address."
"That was quick. Is she in the system?"
"No, but her father is. Benny McLane. He was in and out of prison for 14 years. Drug possession, auto left, a couple sexual abuse assaults, and one battery. Apparently he changed his life around after the mother to his only child was killed in a car accident 5 years ago."
"What's the address?"
"Forty-five Shane Scott Drive, in Sylvia."
"Thanks, Van Pelt."
Lisbon put her phone back in her pocket after she hangs up with Van Pelt and takes one final look at Taylor.
