Chapter 4
Lindsay rubbed her face with her hands. When was the M.E gonna get here?
They had been waiting at least half an hour and both she and Hawkes were getting impatient. They were waiting for the M.E to get here because the bodies took up most of the crime scene. The blood spatters on the wall told them that this was their preliminary scene.
Lindsay had had enough. "Hawkes you take the daughters bedroom. I'm going to start processing around the bodies."
When Hawkes raised a questioning eyebrow she looked him straight in the eye.
"We can't wait any longer!"
Hawkes walked into the girls room and got to work immediately. No answering back. No smart comments.
Lindsay frowned, it just proved that this job took all kinds.
Hawkes pulled long blonde hairs off the girls pillow and from a tissue in her trashcan he found smeared blood. Human.
There were fingerprints all over the room, on every surface which didn't make things easy, but as Hawkes smiled to himself he thought 'When has this job ever been easy?'
There was clearly no sign of a struggle in the room. Having looked around the room one last time making sure he hadn't missed anything he went in search of Lindsay.
"Hey…. Uh where did the bodies go?" Lindsay looked over at him, what kind of question was that?
"Some madman came and stole them. Where do you think they are?"
Yep, the old Lindsay was definitely back. Hawkes pulled a face.
"The M.E came and took them about 20 mins ago. I'm nearly finished here, but you can go back to the lab if you want."
"That's alright. What do you want me to do?" he said looking round the room.
"The windows need dusting. Inside and Out."
If one thing was said about Lindsay it was that she was thorough!
