Chapter 6

Grissom and Sara both looked up at their friend before looking at each other.

"Who is Laura de Vries?" asked Grissom after a couple of minutes of silence.

"Laura is.." Cooper stopped and took a deep breath. "Laura was the daughter of Mayor de Vries."

"Did you, personally, know her well?" asked Sara, who had never seen her friend look so shocked before, in all the years they had known each other.

"Laura was a really sweet girl, she was always helping other people. S he brought homeless people clothes and food, baked us cookies once a month and once a week she helped out in the home for the elderly. Those people were always looking forward to seeing her. She walked them to the beach and played games with them."

"Any idea who could have done this to her?" Grissom asked.

Dale Cooper shook his head. "Everyone adored her here in town." Cooper smiled a little before he continued. "But her dad, on the other hand, Mayor de Vries, is a different story. I think he is the most hated person in this town."

"Could that have something to do with this murder?" asked Sara.

Cooper shrugged his shoulders. "I have no idea. But I can't understand how someone could have done this to such a sweet girl, just to get to her father. She just turned 18 last week."

"The human race can be cruel sometimes. Without realizing it themselves," Grissom said.

Cooper nodded. "I have to go see Laura's family, to inform them about their daughter."

Cooper turned around and motioned to officer Jan to follow him.

Grissom and Sara turned back to the crime scene, but didn't find much more. The body had been in the water and if there had been more evidence, it was now in the sea.

"I don't think we will find more around here," Sara said to her husband. He nodded and stood up to stand next to her.

"Unbelievable."

"Huh, what?" said Sara, not knowing what Grissom was talking about this time.

"We can't even going on vacation without working."

Sara smiled at this and nodded. "I think, Gilbert, that it is our fate."

"Yeah, I think you're right." Grissom motioned to the other officer at the scene to come closer.

"Can I help you with something?" Pieter asked.

"Has the coroner already been called to collect the body?"

"Yes, he was called immediately and will be here shortly."

"Did you know the victim?" Sara asked Pieter.

"Yes, she was in the same class as my baby sister and Laura's best friend Hennie until high school. They had horse riding classes together years ago in 'Beverwijk' until Laura got her own horse, Troy."

"Do you have any idea who could have done this to Laura?"

"I have no idea. Like Coop said she was adored by everyone."

"Did she go out with friends often?" asked Grissom.

"She didn't had much time for friends, but she did go out every Saturday night with her sister Jessica, and my sister Hennie."

"Where did they go when they went out?"

"They always went to 'The Zon' (The Sun) a little café here in Wijk aan Zee."

At that moment a short guy with grey hair came their way. "Hello my name is Dr. Patrick Dekker, I'm the local coroner."

"Hello Dr. Dekker. My name is Gil Grissom and this is my wife, Sara Grissom, we are from the Las Vegas Crime Lab."

"The Gil Grissom? The entomologist?"

"Uh, yeah, that is me," answered Grissom, a little surprised at how this man could know of him.

"I read a couple of your articles over the years on . I also read some high quality articles by one Sara Sidle, also from Las Vegas."

Grissom smiled proudly at a beaming Sara and placed his arm around her. "Well, that would be Sara Grissom now."

The coroner looked from Grissom to Sara. "Did you write those articles?"

Sara raised her hand and said, "Guilty."

"I can't believe I will be working this case with two such highly intelligent people," smiled Dr. Dekker. He made his way to the body but stopped as soon as he saw who it was.

"Oh my God, it's Laura."

"Did you know her well?" Grissom asked the coroner.

"Yes. She lived next door to me. Who could have done this to her? She was such a sweet girl, always helping others."

Dr. Dekker closed his eyes, took a deep breath and knelt down to examine the body. After 15 minutes he called for Grissom and Sara, who were at his side immediately. He showed them a tiny piece of paper which was folded and caught under Laura's fingernail. Grissom collected it in a bag and asked if the coroner could tell them something about the time of death.

"I'd say she died between 4 and 5 a.m., and by the looks of it she hasn't been in the water for long. "

Sara wrote down this information and Dr. Dekker asked if they had enough evidence so that he could take the body to the morgue.

"Yes, we are finished here, so go ahead," answered Grissom. He turned to Pieter. "Can you give us a ride to the lab, Pieter?"

Pieter smiled and nodded. "Yes of course." The three of them walked to the police car.

During the ride the Grissoms looked in awe at the scenery around them. It changed every couple of minutes. First they saw sand dunes, then woods, a neighborhood, and then woods again, before they were in Beverwijk, where the small police station was.

"We are here," said Pieter. "It is not as big as the two of you might been used to, but for us it's big enough."

The Grissoms smiled at this and followed Pieter inside the station to the little lab. To their surprise, it had everything they needed.

"This lab is here because of Coop," Pieter said. "The minute he became chief here, he insisted we get a crime lab, and this is what he insisted it should have."

"It has everything we need right now Pieter," smiled Sara. Grissom nodded his head.

"I'm glad about that. I won't keep you any longer from the investigation." Pieter walked away but turned around one more time. "I hope you will catch the bastard who did this to Laura."

"We will do our best, Pieter." Sara promised him and Pieter nodded. "I hope so."

The first thing Grissom and Sara did was to take out the tiny piece of folded paper from the bag and examine it under a magnifying glass.

"What does it say, Gil?"

"It says B.O.B."

"BOB."

"Yes. We have to ask Coop later if he knows what that means. " At that moment Dale Cooper walked into the room.

"What do you guys think of my little lab?"

"It's nice," smiled Sara at her former boss.

"I thought so. Did you guys find anything?"

Grissom spoke up. "The coroner found a tiny piece of folded paper under the victim's fingernail. It says B.O.B. Do you have any idea what that can mean?"

Coop thought for a minute. "Can I see it?"

Grissom moved aside for Coop and watched him look at the tiny piece.

"No, sorry Gil, I have no idea."

Grissom sighed. "Can we take a look at her home?"

"I was just there to tell them the horrible news. Her mother is in shock but her father said he will do everything needed to cooperate to catch the killer of his youngest daughter."

"Can you take us there?"

Cooper nodded and motioned for them to follow him to the cars.

"I have a car ready for you so you can go where you want."

"Thank you Coop."

"Don't say that too soon, Sara. It's not what you are used to at home."

"We don't care, Coop. As long as it has four wheels we are happy," answered Grissom.

"This is it." Cooper pointed at a dark blue car that was a little smaller than the Denali they were used to.

"This car is fine Coop, it is a better car than I have at home."

"Every car is better than your car, Sara," Grissom teased.

"And you didn't give her a new one?" asked Cooper.

"I tried but she refused."

"Is that true Sara?" asked Cooper in disbelief.

"Yes. But Coop, you didn't see the car he wanted to buy me. It was huge and cost more than I earn in a year."

Cooper shook his head. "You are a strange woman Sara. I bet your car is just as bad as the one you had in San Francisco."

Grissom had to laugh at this and Sara looked angrily at him. "Actually, it is the same car."

At this Cooper was laughing just as hard as Grissom. He said, "Only you, Sara. Only you." He turned to Grissom. "What kind of car did you want to buy for her?"

"A Mercedes Benz SLK-350." he answered quietly.

Cooper's eyes went big. He said, "Damn Sara. It's official-- you are nuts. I wish I had such a car and you refused one!"

Sara shrugged and said softly, "It was too much."

"You are a lucky girl Sara. But come on, let's go to Mayor de Vries's house."

Grissom and Sara got in their car and followed Dale Cooper to a nice neighborhood, with some very nice villas. They reached a villa that was the biggest of all, with a big garden and what looked like a swimming pool under the house. When they walked to the door with Cooper, Grissom noticed a car around the corner with a man who was watching them intently and smoking a cigarette. When Grissom turned around, the car suddenly took off at high speed and Grissom quickly grabbed his phone and took a picture of the car and its license plate.

"What was that?" asked Sara.

"I have no idea but I have a feeling. That guy has something to do with this case."
