Triple Homicide ch. 3

Horatio headed to the computer lab to check up on how Ryan was doing. "Mr. Wolfe what else have we got off of the computers?" he asked.

"We found the e-mail and most of the incoming messeges are from someone named M.S.Model, Cooper traced the messege to a small building downtown called SelperModels." said Ryan. "There was also a hate letter from a Miranda Eckert, her address is the house across from theirs."

"Alright Mr. Wolfe, you and I will check out the angry neighbor and I'll send Eric and Calleigh to check out the Modeling agency." said Horatio. "Thank you Mr. Cooper."

"I'm here to help." said Dan as Horatio and Ryan left the room.

Horatio and Ryan headed to Mrs. Eckerts house to find her in her front yard doing lawn work.

"Mrs. Eckert?" said Ryan when they walked up to her.

"Yes? Who are you?" she said.

"Horatio Caine, Ryan Wolfe CSI!" replied Horatio.

"What can I help you with, officers?" she said seeming nervous.

"Did you hear about your neighbors being murdered in their own back yard?" said Ryan.

"Yeah, It's too bad." she said somewhat calm.

"You don't seem to be too broken up about it." said Horatio.

"They always played the music too loud. They kept my son up all night. It's nice to finally get some quiet." she said matter of factly.

"Well, you see thats the problem, the evidence tells us that their were three shooters that killed the Marks and Ms. Downs, and we only have one suspect." said Horatio. "Where is you son now?"

"At his grandmothers. Am I a suspect?" she asked.

"Right now, yes! So were going to need to take you to our lab for questionig." replied Ryan.

"Fine!" she said standing up and wiping the dirt off of her jeans.

Meanwhile Calleigh and Eric headed down to the small building where SelpherModels is located. They arrived to see a big sign with 3 very attractive women in bathing suits on it reading 'SelpherModels: the next generation modeling agency.'

"Interesting!" said Calleigh reading the sign.

"You intrested in modeling Calleigh?" said Eric sarcasticly.

"Oh no! I don't like bathing suits. No where to put my gun!" she said smiling.

They both walked into the building and saw a very well dressed women sittig at the counter, on the phone. As they walked up she motioned for them to wait, and when she saw there badges she hung up the phone.

"How can I help you officers?" she said in an offictial tone.

"Where looking for the owner of this building." said Eric.

"Your looking at her. Morgan Selpher!" she said shaking both of their hands. "I've owned this agency for 5 years now. So what can I do for you?"

"Were investigation the murder of Claire Downs, and Lisa and Alan Marks. You know them?" said Calleigh.

"Oh my! I don't know the Claire girl, but Lisa and Alan worked here. Lisa was my secretary, and Alan developed the film."

"Do you mind if we look around?" asked Calleigh observing the photographers clicking away as a blonde model posed.

"Go right ahead." she said staying seated at the desk.

Eric walked over to one of the dark rooms with his flashlight looking for anything out of the ordinary. As Calleigh observed around the front desk.

"Is this were Lisa used to sit?" she asked looking around the desk.

"Yes! I don't have another secretary so I'm sitting up her until I can hire another." she said smiling.

"Yes well I would imagine it would be hard to replace Lisa." said Calleigh staring under the desk.

"Why is that?" she said confused.

"Because not many secretarys are willing to hide the guns under your desk here. I'm going to have to ask to to get out of the seat." she said aiming her flashlight under the desk. "Eric you better get over here." Morgan slowly got out of the seat and tried to make her way out the front door, when Eric pulled his gun on her.

"Don't move!" he shouted and she stopped.

"It looks like weve got two sniper rifles. I think we have two of our murder weapons." said Calleigh pulling on a pair of gloved and removing the guns from the box under the desk.

"How are you going to explain that?" Eric asked Morgan.

"I want my lawyer." she said plainly.

"I bet you do." said Calleigh. "Im gonna get these back to the lab for processing. I'll meet you there." She took both of the guns and headed outside.

"Alright!" said Eric. "So are you hiding anything else around here?" he asked. She just looked at him not saying a word. "Im going to need to take these back to the lab" he said to one of the officers. "I'll see if Cooper can get anything off of this."

Back at the lab, Horatio and Ryan were asking Mrs. Eckert about the murder.

"So can you tell us what this is about?" asked Ryan pulling out a copy of the hate mail she had sent the Marks.

"I told you! They always kept music really loud and my son could not sleep. I was trying to get a message out."

"Message received." said Horatio.

"Look I know what your thinking but i didn't kill those people." she said sounding despret. Just then Horatio's phone rang.

"Excuse me!" said Horatio. "Caine" he said picking up the phone."Really? Thank you Frank!" he said hanging up."Is there something going on her that we need to know about, Mrs. Eckert?" asked Horatio noticing her frightened expression. She just looked up and him. "One of our detectives stopped by your mother-in-laws house, and your son was not there." She contenued to just look at him. "Where is he?"

She leaned in and wispered. "If I tell you, they will kill him."

"Very wll! Mr. Wolfe this is now a kidnapping, I think we need to talk to Mrs. Marks brother." said Horatio leaving the room with him. Ryan headed to where Lisas brothere was being held. Horatio stopped to see Eric conenuously dialing his phone. While waiting outside the room where Ms. Selpher was being held.

"Eric whats going on?" Horatio asked concerned.

"Calleigh left the crime scene with two sniper rifles we found at the modeling agency, and she hasn't come back yet. Nobody seen her and she won't answer her phone." said Eric panicky.

"Eric it will be alright." said Horatio looking at Ms. Selpher, and she just smiled.
