Hey guys! Another chapter, i know it's a miracle! Thanks to those wonderful people who reviewed! The pace is picking up a bit, although i'm not entirely thrilled with the quality of the writing. Here we go...
Chapter 6
It's an hour into shift, and Grissom is handing out assignments.
"Sara and Catherine, you've got double homicide. Mother and daughter. Warrick you're going solo, robbery, Greg and Nick you are with me. Supposed suicide, suspicious circs. Let's go."
"Ecklie's gonna do his nut when he finds out how late we are." Nick said.
"You plan to tell him?" Sara asked.
"Well no but…"
"Just keep your mouth shut Nicky, everything will be fine." Catherine said.
"Come on Cath, who's driving?"
"I will."
Half an hour later Sara and Catherine's had arrived at the crime scene, it was a mess.
"Oh my God." Catherine said in horror.
There were two bodies in front of her a girl and her mother, cuffed to the bed and a mess, they were beaten beyond recognition.
"You gonna be ok with this one?" Catherine asked.
"I'll be fine. What about you, the girl is Lindsey's' age?"
"Yeah, I'm ok. I'll take photos; you bag 'n tag."
Warrick had arrived at his scene shortly after the Sara and Catherine had theirs.
The store was smashed up there was broken glass and jewellery every where.
"Where do I start?" he groaned.
Nick, Greg and Grissoms crime scene.
Nick looked up at the building, in disbelief.
"He threw himself off that?" Nick asked.
"Supposedly, Grissom said suspicious circs." Greg replied.
Right on cue Grissom walked up to them.
"Why was it suspicious circs?" Nick asked.
"Him and his girlfriend were having an argument, screaming at each other, the screaming stopped, and two minutes later he's found after "jumping" off a building. And you see these," he pointed to the victims hands, "They could be defence wounds."
"Oh." Greg said.
"But how does a girl overpower a heavily built guy like him? It doesn't make sense." Nick said.
"You're right it doesn't." Grissom replied.
The shift was almost over, and everyone was back at the lab.
"Hey Rick, how's your case?" Nick asked in the break room.
"Easy as hell, the idiot left fingerprints everywhere, and he had a criminal record so he was on the database. You?"
"Well this guy was having an argument with his girlfriend, two minutes later the dude is splatted on the ground below. Anyways, turns out that they were arguing cos she was cheating on him with some other guy, who helped push him over the edge, but we only got enough to convict the guy. So the girl is still out there."
"Hey has anyone seen Sara and Catherine?" Grissom said.
Greg joins them.
"No." Nick and Warrick said at the same time.
"What did I miss?" Greg asks, mildly interested.
"You haven't seen Sara or Catherine have you Greg?" Grissom said.
"No - why."
"I haven't seen them since handing out assignments and it's the end of shift and we are having breakfast, remember."
"Oh yeah, look I'll try Cath, you try Sara." Warrick said, "I'm sure everything's fine."
Grissom rang Sara's cell and it went straight to voicemail. It was the same with Caths'. Hodges came up to them.
"Boss, there's a parcel for you. It's on you desk."
"I'll get it later."
"It says urgent on it."
"Ok, I'm going."
He walked down to his office, and instantly recognizes the box on the desk, a sense of dread dawns on him.
"Guys." He called.
They all came running, just as the newsreaders voice comes from the t.v.
"We have just received breaking news, three hours ago Natalie Davis escaped from the mental institution she was being held in, and her whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise known as the miniature killer, three months ago she was imprisoned for…" The reader continued but by now no one was listening.
The team stood there in shocked silence.
"Where the hell is Sara and Cath?" Greg said quietly.
Dun dun duuuunnnnnn... lol. What do you think? Was it obvious? Is it out of character, cos i feel it is in some points, but i'll try and work on it.
Please those of you who put me on story alert just write a few words in a review! It would bbe nice to know if people are reading! And what you think, good or bad! But preferably constructive! I'd like to improve.
Thanks for reading!
