First Do No Harm Chapter 2
The crime scene was not far from the crime lab. The drive there was quick, with Grissom speaking to Brass on his phone. They were at the scene almost as soon as Grissom and Brass finished their conversation.
"Victim is Jodie Fleming, she was found dead in her room at her parents' house," Grissom began as they walked towards the house. "No wounds, no trauma."
"How did she die?" Sara asked.
"Chronic poisoning," Grissom said. They were now inside the house. Brass and his men were still bustling around.
"Gil," Brass acknowledged as they entered the living room.
"Have you found anything?"
"None so far," Brass said. "I just learned from her parents that Jodie hardly ever stays here. She's a second year medical student and she lives in an apartment with three other classmates."
"Do they know?" Gil asked, pausing just before the stairs.
Brass shrugged. "Probably not. But I'm about to head there now. Think you could spare one or two people from your team? I'd like to search their place now."
Grissom nodded. "I'll call Catherine. She and Nick could head out there with you. What's the address?"
"You'd better ask them to come here instead. I want to talk to give them information regarding the case before we get there," Brass said.
"Very well," Grissom agreed, getting his cell phone and paging his two colleagues. "Can we start working now?"
Brass nodded. "I'll be in the kitchen. The parents are there. By the way, her room's the first door to your right."
"Let's start there," Grissom ordered his team. They climbed the stairs and found the second floor eerily silent.
"This must be it," Warrick remarked, stopping before a closed door. He reached for the doorknob, but before he could open the room, Grissom's phone began to ring.
"It's Nick," Grissom said, checking the phone's caller ID. "You two go ahead, I'll follow."
Warrick opened the door and found that the light had not been switched off. He stepped into the room, Sara following closely behind. There seemed to be nothing amiss in the room, no signs of violence having occurred there in the recent past. The bed was unmade, which was expected because that was where the body was found. Warrick looked at Sara, who was getting her camera out of her field kit. He followed her suit and soon both of them were methodically documenting the room as they had found it.
"Think you two can handle this scene without me?" Grissom asked from the door. Sara and Warrick stopped taking pictures and faced their boss. Sara smiled confidently. "Sure."
"What's up?" Warrick asked.
"Nick told me Lindsey's baby-sitter called just a few minutes ago. Lindsey's fever had gone worse, and Catherine had to go home," Grissom explained. "I want to go with Nick and Brass to the apartment."
"Okay, boss," Warrick replied with a reassuring smile. "We can handle this one."
Grissom nodded. "Just call me in case something turns up," he said as he turned to leave. "I'll see you both at the lab later."
