"The guy knew what he was doing, there wasn't any DNA evidence on that body." Danny sighed, placing his head in his hands as he did so often.

Maria was looking over the full ME report. Marks on the arms and legs which showed she had been tied up. Bruises that aligned with being beaten. And then she found something that made her stomach turn, her shoulders were dislocated and the ME had marked that she thought it was mostly because the victim had been tied up by her hands from a ceiling. Traces of heroin in the system.

"I don't like this case," Maria whispered, looking at the crime photos. The victim had been dumped like trash, naked and dead.

"I agree, somethings just not right; did we check her boyfriend out?" Danny asked, looking up from the paper he was studying.

"Yeah, no record, nothing, I don't think we should even consider him, he seemed pretty broken up about her death," Maria said.

"Damn it, we have no leads. Nothing zilch." Danny cursed.

"No DNA, no fingerprints, no witness, the camera on the building wasn't working. It's almost the perfect crime." Maria sighed.

"Did missing person turn anything up when they were looking into it?" Danny inquired.

"No," Maria answered, "They were as baffled as we are."

"Look to see if there have been any similar homicides in the cold cases." Danny said, "this is too well done for it to be a first time, maybe we can see if he's done it before and then see if made a mistake the first time."

"Okay, I'll see what I can find." Maria sighed, she got up to go see what she could find out, she knew everyone wondered how she was partners with him, he treated her as if she worked him, not as if they were partners. But Danny was a great detective, and the book work seemed to stress him out and make it so he didn't focus on the case so she didn't mind.

Danny watched Maria leave, he didn't like this case, it was too much like Thomas Wilder. He rubbed his hand across his eyes sighed, he picked up the crime scene photos to try and see if there was anything he had missed. His phone started ringing.

"Reagan," He said answering it.

Maria walked back after putting in the request for the files that had popped up.

"Grab your coat," Danny ordered, putting his phone back in his pocket.

"Why?" Maria questioned, confused.

"They found another body," Danny replied.

"Two bodies in one day?" Maria wondered to herself, as she and Danny walked out to the car.

Maria was really wishing she hadn't eaten lunch. The woman looked about eighteen, she had been dead about two weeks, the blood was dried around her, and her eyes were closed, but Maria hated it. She had dark brown hair, but she noticed something. Her shoulders looked dislocated.

"Well, it looks like Miss Fletcher wasn't his first victim." Danny sighed, noticing that this woman's jugular too had been cut.

"Maybe he made a mistake this time," Maria replied.

"Maybe," Danny answered, Maria, saw Danny get close to the victim and then his eyes lighted up as if he found something.

"Baez didn't Amanda have a tattoo on her collar bone," Danny questioned,

"Yeah, it was a number twelve," Maria replied, looking at the body and then she saw what Danny saw. On this victim's, collar bone was a number eleven, in almost the exact same spot.

"No, we just have to wait and find out what the ME says was the cause of death, and what her injuries are." Danny remarked, "But I bet it is the same as Miss Fletcher."

Nicki was waiting for Sean when he got home from school. She was cleaning up the kitchen, it had become a common thing for Nicki to come and do since Jack moved out.

"Hey Nicki," Sean greeted, dropping his back-pack with a thud on the table.

"Hey, where's your dad?" She questioned.

"He's working late, again." Sean sighed,

"Mom is working late too." Nicki bemoaned with him.

"The trails of being the children of law enforcement," Sean said with a laughed.

"You want to get take out?" Nicki questioned, "I know a really good place and we need to talk about our plan. Jack is having second thoughts on where or not this is a good idea."

"He's having second thoughts, it was his idea that he hauled you and me into." Sean groaned.

"Did it work last night?" Nicki questioned,

"No, she had dinner plans, but she really does explain chemistry well, she's going to start helping me with algebra," Sean explained.

"I thought you were doing fine in math?" Nicki exclaimed, looking at him concerned.

"I am, but it's easier to play dumb with math than chemistry," Sean explained.

Nicki let out a laugh, "Come on let's go get take out and message your dad and let him know I have you."

"Fine," Sean sighed.

"Grab you econ homework and will help you with it," Nicki added.

"I wish that is what Maria was good at because then I wouldn't' have to fake being bad at that," Sean said with a laugh.

Nicki and Sean picked up Chinese food and returned back to Danny's house.

"How is your dad doing?' Nicki asked as they settled on the couch with the game on.

"Still doesn't talk about it, though he asked Maria to stay for dinner yesterday. I'm kinda concerned about the anniversary coming up and all." Sean remarked, "It's never easy, on any of us, but it a little harder when he's drunk."

"Maybe it will be better this year," Nicki suggested, hoping for the best.

"Yeah, I asked Jack to come home it might help him cope," Sean said, grabbing the fortune cookie.

"That would be good," Nicki nodded.

"Yeah," Sean agreed, "I met a new girl a school today,"

"A girl?" Nicki asked, raising her eyebrows, "Is she cute, what's her name?"

"Yeah, Her name is Sam Peterson." Sean said with a slight smile, "She just moved here from Ohio, her dad is a new DA,"

"Is her mom in the picture?" Nicki inquired, taking a bite of her beef and broccoli.

"No," Sean said looking down, "Her mom was a detective, and she got shot the bullet went under her vest, she didn't make it."

"Oh," Nicki said sadly, "Get me her dad's name and I'll ask mom if she can find out how good of a lawyer he is."

"How is your guy friend?' Sean questioned.

"keep your mouth shut, I don't want uncle Danny finding out about him before mom does, and who knows you dad might have his house bug." Nicki hushed.

"Nicki," Sean said exasperatedly.

"Hey, I'm just being careful," Nicki said defensively.
