" One steamboat, two steamboat, three steamboat." Warrick threw the ball towards Mandy. Mandy caught the ball and began running the same path she did earlier. As she was running she tripped in the same spot, flipped and landed by Catherine. Sara had one of those camera's that the film came out once a person took a picture. As she waited for it to dry, Catherine gave Mandy her hand. Mandy took it and got up. The team immediately began to dig where she had tripped. The whole team was shocked, this case went from nothing to something in a matter of seconds. " Mandy you want to know what you tripped over?" Warrick asked.
" That would be nice." Mandy said.
" A leg." Mandy shook in disgust at what Warrick had said. Nick looked at her then told her to wait in the car. It was about four hours later, the team devoured the field to find male human remains. Catherine sighed then looked at her gloves.
" Why are my gloves green?" She asked? The green on her gloves were a vibrant color not from grass stains. The rest of the team noticed it as well. Catherine looked at the grass. The murderer had spray painted the grass to cover up the blood. Catherine and Sara began collecting grass strands to bring to Greg for verification. Grissom looked at the body. Without a corner he could already tell that he vic had been marked over and over again to be cut. Now the team were thinking about what could have dissembled him.
Mandy woke up from her sleep and noticed she still was at the football field. She let out a sigh and left the car for some air. She began waling toward the bleachers when she saw something hiding. She wasn't to sure who or what it was. Mandy avoided it, tried not to think about it. It was dark, maybe it was nothing just a dark empty space. Nick looked at her, then went back to work. Mandy continued walking toward the bleachers and she began to walk up them when she felt something brush against her. She ignored it and continued to walk. This time she felt a tight grasp and it wouldn't let her go. The perpetrate pulled to a point where she was falling down the bleachers. Screaming really loudly the team and Brass ran to her aid. Brass went to find the perpetrator where he and a crew of officers chased him to he was cornered. Back at the bleachers Mandy had a gash in her forehead and was unconscious. Nick held her close while Sara got the paramedics. Brass came out of the bleachers with a man that looked exactly like the vic. His twin brother maybe? When the ambulance arrived they took Mandy to Desert Palms hospital, while Nick joined along in the ambulance. Brass had the uniforms take him in for questioning.
At the corners office, Al identified the vic as Billy Jones. The cause of death was a slit throat, then to cover his body a chain saw was used to decapitate him. Back at the lab the prints on the evidence later found belonged to Mark Jones convicted of second hand murder. Sara began finding out more information about him. She found out that Mark was really a triplet, and that his brother Adam Jones was found dead in a football field outside of Vegas. As she continued to dish out evidence, Greg approached her.
" The grass, that you and Catherine collected was indeed covered by spray paint."
" Thanks Greg." Sara said as he sorted out the bagged evidence.
" Do you need any help?" Greg asked. Sara looked up at him and just before she could say anything, Warrick came in.
" Turns out that Mark is the youngest of his deceased brothers. It also turns out that his mother and father who both died of natural causes had over one million dollars. Now this is how it worked. Adam would get all the money but would have to split it evenly. While Billy's in Canada doing business, Mark decides to take Adam out of town. While they are out he of town he kills him and breaks the news to his brother that he went missing. While now that Billy inherits all the money, Mark has to kill him too, to get the money."
" Well if that's true, why wait so long?" Sara asked.
" So it wouldn't looked staged." Sara nodded at Warrick. " I faxed this over to Grissom and Cath who are with Brass now. Did you find anything?"
" Greg confirmed that the grass was spray paint and all this evidence puts Mark at the scene."
" But?"
" I didn't say but Warrick."
" You where, just say it."
" But why would he make it so easy, like leave prints on evidence and leave evidence out in the open." Greg looked at them and spoke up.
" Maybe he didn't have time." Both Sara and Warrick looked at Greg so he could continue. "This is my theory. He already finished spraying the grass and buried the body parts. But just before his device plan will not ever surface for him being liable for murder he hears the girls coming and takes what he needs the most, shovel, chainsaw and knife. While he is trying to hide from the girls he drops his knife and he can't go back without being noticed so he hides behind the bleachers. Then Mandy cuts herself and you guys go there and it's already to late."
" Good theory Greg. But why would he bring all those things. Couldn't he have just left them at home?"
" The grass you brought me which was sod and comes out like butter when pulled and dug properly shows a lot of blood. I didn't Luminal or anything but you can if you want." Sara smiled at Greg.
" Greg write or type what you said and send it to Grissom and Catherine. Warrick you visit the corner and I'll Luminal the grass. Were a little short handed tonight.
Warrick approached Al with a few questions. " The time of death was around seven o'clock, he most likely dissembled him around eight and berried him around the same time as well. That's all I know for now." Warrick thanked him and headed back to the lab with his report. Sara had finished spraying the grass which was placed in the garage, next to the perpetrators car. After she finished with the Luminal on both the car and the grass the room lit up. Sara quickly took the pictures and got them developed. Warrick met up with her and looked at what she discovered.
