Disclaimer: I own NOTHING familiar. All of it belongs to CBS. Any relation to a real life character or situation is a coincidence, because I made up the plot. But I wish I did. I REALLY wish I owned New York and Miami.
I tried something new out today. I posted the disclaimer BEFORE I started rambling. :D Very short… a little bit boring… this chapter is… I no speak Eengrish. XD
(another)NOTICE: My characters might be a little OOC… you don't have to tell me anymore if they're OOC. I know. Andrew Fuller (in this chapter) is a name I got from Big Momma's House 2. I don't own the idea of the name.
"Hey H!" Eric poked his head out and called to the lieutenant from inside a room. "Check this out."
Horatio followed Eric in. "What do you have?" he asked.
Eric grinned. "I have the connection between our vics. Look at this." He clicked on a picture. An image of what appeared to be a graduating college class appeared on screen.
"Miami-Dade University, Class of 1999," Horatio read the caption underneath.
"Yeah. You see him?" Eric pointed to a person on the picture. "That's out killer, Seth Bryson. These guys over here," he pointed to three other people. "Are the New York vics and Miami vic number one."
"Okay, so they all went to school together," Horatio said.
"Right," Eric said. "I was able to find a classmate. I have his number and his address."
Horatio quirked an eyebrow. "How did you get that?"
Eric chuckled. "Well, it's simple. I go to my next-door neighbor's house, copy down his address, and get his number from the phone book." He pointed to a sandy-brown haired figure in the picture. "That's Andrew Fuller. He told me he went to Miami-Dade U. I figured it all out. If he's thirty, like the vics and Bryson, he would have been part of this class."
"Is he able to come in for questioning?" asked Horatio.
"I tried calling him and asking, but he said he didn't want anything to do with an investigation," Eric said. He scribbled something down on a piece of paper. "This is his address."
Horatio smiled. "Thank you Eric." He put the piece of paper in his pocket and took out his cell phone.
Beep, beep, beep. Horatio pressed a couple of buttons.
"Bonasera," answered the voice on the other line.
"It's Horatio, where are you?" Horatio asked.
"I'm with Mac and Detective Tripp. He's been giving us more information on the Chavez girl. Why?" Stella said.
"Eric connected the victims together. Turns out they all went to college together, Miami-Dade University, Class of 1999," Horatio said.
"Even the New York vics?" Stella asked.
"Yeah. Eric said that one of the students in that graduating class is his next-door neighbor, Andrew Fuller. He tried calling him up, but Andrew told him he wanted nothing to do with an interrogation," Horatio informed her.
"So we're going to his house to persuade him to come for an interview?" Stella said. "I'll tell Mac and Detective Tripp."
Horatio nodded even though Stella was on the phone, not right in front of him. "Do that."
"You don't like, you don't read."
I'll post another one. So I can get some memory back on my phone XD
