Follow the evidence Chapter 2: Murder by numbers



A/N: Watching the sunrise in the middle of November is not fun or warm! If you want to watch the sun rise do it in the summer. Anyway here's the next chapter. Give me one more English class and Warrick's past will be posted. By the way, the chapters for this story are all movie titles.



"What do you guys have for me?" Greg asked as Jordan and Sara walked into his lab. The amusement park case turned out to be a catfight gone wrong and the girl confessed before the team her evidence. All they brought bought was a sample of the blood they found on the suspect's shirt to make sure it matched the victim's blood. It did.

"Nothing at all Greggo," Sara sighed and leaned against the table. He could see the lines of frustration on her face and knew she was on the verge of becoming emotionally involved with yet another case. "Whoever the murderer is, they wiped the place clean. It reminds me of the strip strangler case last year. I'm going to look in the database to see if another case like this happened within the past few years."

"Is she always like this?" Jordan asked the lab tech as they watched Sara practically run out of the room. He winced when Greg nodded and felt immediate sympathy for his co-worker. "So this is the lab. I was beginning to wonder where it was. In all the commotion with the cases I guess everyone forgot to show me around."

"Well, since you guys didn't find any evidence I now have some spare time," Greg stood up and grinned at the new CSI. "I guess this is a good place to start. This is the DNA lab. Blood, hairs, ect, come here to be processed. Follow me and I'll show you the most important room in the building, the break room. This room becomes our lifeline when we're working overtime as it has the coffee, soda, and anything else that has caffeine."

"Sounds likes university deja-vu," Jordan joked and got a laugh out of Greg. The tour was soon forgotten as they found they had plenty of things in common, like they both loved hard rock music, both had crushes on Sara, and both drank the same brand of coffee. They were talking and laughing about a story Jordan had just told Greg when the others entered the break room.

"We've got four more DB's," Grissom's voice was strained and his expression tight. "Same MO as the vic at the Hotel Royale. Jordan and Warrick, you guys take the two 419's at 517 Valler Drive. Sara and Nick, you've got the 419 found at the university, room 435 in the Lannor dorm. Cath, you're with me on the 419 found at 764 Young Street. Greg, you go with Warrick and Jordan, as they have two victims and will need help gathering evidence, if this person left any behind this time. You can process any evidence found when you get back, though I'm not sure there will be any evidence found. But don't get lazy. This guy has to mess up eventually and I don't want another victim dead because we figured we wouldn't find anything."

The team broke off in the three groups and left in three cars, all heading in complete different directions. They hoped they would find a clue to the identity of the killer before he struck again.



A/N: There'll be more relationship in the next chapter. Sara paired with Nick was the most popular but look for twist and turns to please everyone's wished. Hopefully.
