Chapter 3
Catherine and Grissom approached the apartment. " My god!" Catherine said as blood was all over the wall. " What the hell happened here?"
" A perfect struggle to a perfect murder." Grissom said inspecting the room. Catherine began taking pictures of the blood on the wall. It was unbelievable. The women must have struggled gratefully for her life.
" Guess what I got?" Grissom said.
" Looks like a nail." Catherine said.
" Don't nails always bring the case home?"
" Let's hope so."
" Well the guy must have had some fun before he died." Warrick said starring at the bed sheets.
" Nick you got sheets, I'll take bathroom, Warrick you got the rest of the room."
" Man I hate doing the sheets!" Nick said getting the equipment out. Warrick began looking for obvious things like the murder weapon.
" Lamp is dented compared to this one." Warrick said.
" Great get prints." Sara said. In the bathroom Sara didn't find anything unusual.
" Hey guys there's two toothbrushes where's the other person?" She asked.
" The murderer?" Warrick asked.
" Or another DB." Nick said as he looked under the bed and saw a female body."
" I'll go watch the tapes." Sara said leaving.
" Toenail right?" Greg said as Grissom and Catherine entered the lab.
" Yes do you have it?" Catherine asked.
" Not only do I have that but your man. Joe Grim."
" Thanks Greg." Grissom said as he pulled up his cell, " hey Brass get a hold of Hoe Grim. Thanks."
" So honey what do you think about this dress?" Jen asked trying on the white wedding dress.
" Maybe you should ask me what I think about you marrying Ecklie." Mandy said
" He's a nice guy."
" And pays the bills. Honestly are you marrying him because you love him or you need the money?"
" Because I love him. And if you, and if you can't except that then I can't except you."
" Fine! I'll be with dad!" Mandy walked out of the mall.
It didn't take long for Brass to get Joe and it wouldn't take much for Catherine and Grissom to put him behind bars. " Toe hurt?" Grissom asked?
" Maybe you need this." Catherine said handing over the clear plastic bag with the toenail in it.
" We got a lot of questions and you're here to answer them got that." Brass said.
" Whatever." Replied the suspect.
" First question what is your toenail doing at her place?"
" I'm her pimp." He said.
" Pimp?" Brass looked confused.
" Ya her boyfriend."
" So you visited her." Catherine asked.
" Yep."
" Well you're the only one who walked in and out of her home. So why did you kill her?" Grissom asked.
" I didn't mean to! I mean I didn't kill her."
" What really happened?" Catherine asked.
" I found out she was going out with someone I got jealous, bad temper and murder are two different things." Brass said cuffing him.
" I got the girl Sara saw in the video." Lockheart said.
" Thanks." Warrick said making his way into the room. The girl looked at Nick and smiled. Sara began.
" Boyfriend of yours?" Sara asked showing a picture. The girl nodded.
" Can you tell us what happened?" Nick asked.
" I'll only tell you." She replied.
" Can you tell US what happened?" Nick repeated.
" I walked in on my boyfriend killing a hooker."
" So the other girl is dead. How did your boyfriend end up dead."
" I killed him for killing her and cheating. Then I put the girls body under the bed. Satisfied?"
" Yep!" Sara said as she was hauled away.
That night at the lab everyone sat there quietly then Mandy spoke. " She's really getting married. I mean I don't know if she's in love or incredibly stupid."
" If your mother loves him then why are you so annoyed by Ecklie?" Catherine asked.
" It's not Ecklie, it's his brother." Everyone stopped and to Mandy so did time...............
That's all stay tuned for a next chapter!!!
