Follow the evidence Chapter 3: Boys and girls



***Valler Drive***

"Vic one is Marcy Peterson," Brass said as Warrick, Jordan, and to his surprise, Greg approached him. "She was stabbed several times in the chest and stomach area and once across her throat. Vic two is Darcy Peterson, Marcy's twin sister. She was murdered the same way as her twin. Their mother found both girls when she came home after some festival. The girls had stayed home because they were running a fever. They were twenty- seven."

Warrick immediately looked over at Greg, as the twins were his age. He knew it always got to him when the vic was his age so he vowed to keep an eye on the young lab tech. He went to Marcy's room and sent Greg and Jordan to look for evidence in Darcy's room.

"Do you come out to crime scenes often?" Jordan asked when he seen the colour drain from Greg's face. He knew Greg wasn't fond of blood, the younger man had told him so only moments before, but they had a job to do. "Are you going to be all right? You look really pale."

"I knew her," Greg gasped, not taking his eyes off of Darcy's dead, bloodied body as Jordan gently pulled him from the room. He drew Greg outside, so the young man could get some fresh air and explained what had happened to Brass.

***Lannor dorms***

"Vic is Katelyn Masters, a twenty-three-year-old law student," Kevin Handerly, Brass' assistant, told them. "Stab wounds to her chest and stomach area, along with the one across her throat. Good luck with the evidence. I heard this guy knows what he's doing."

"Let's get to work," Nick smiled and let Sara enter the room first. Every time he worked on a case he fell a little more in love with her. It was beginning to drive him crazy. Instead of keeping his mind on the crime scene, where it belonged, he found it often drifting over to Sara and ways to ask her out.

"It looks exactly like the first scene," Sara sighed in frustration. She hated the fact that there was so little they could do. All they could do was wait for this guy to mess up and that meant more people would die before they could catch this guy. "Find anything yet?"

"Nothing yet," Nick was beginning to feel as frustrated as Sara. He also hated not finding evidence but he was also trying to keep his co-worker off his mind. There was only one way he could think of that might work. "Sara, do you want to get breakfast with me after work? We can go anywhere you'd like."

"All right," Sara agreed as she let the coroner take the body away. "Can we go to Smitty's? I love their pancakes!"

***Young Street***

"Cath, you find anything?" Grissom asked, his voice betraying his frustration. Their vic's name was Lyza Connor and she was twenty-six years old. She, just like the other cases, had been stabbed in the chest and stomach and slit across the throat. There was no sign of struggle so either the girls had been drugged or it was someone they knew. It was also obvious that Lyza had been dead for at least a day. They needed to get all the bodies to Doc Robbins and see if he could give them a timeline.
