"Hey Eric what are you ding back here? I thought you and Calleigh were at the crime scene - calculating shooting angles?" Alexx asked as she met Eric in the hall
"I am, I just came to get some equipment we need" he replied as she fell into pace with him and the two of them continued down the hall "Well, you saved me a phone call. I found traces of some kind in the bullet wound."
Eric looked over the piece of paper she handed him and came to a stop "residue cement!? Are you serious?"
Alexx just grinned at him and walked away leaving him to mumble to himself "this case just keeps getting weirder"
CASE 1 - CSI crime lab
"What have we got here Speed?" Horatio asked as he entered the lab
"Well, stuff in the bag were packed by the victim - her's were the only prints on the inside." Speed started "I matched the cut on her leg to the window ledge, the window only opens from the inside so she had to have opened it herself"
"Looks like our perfect teenager was running away" Horatio said just as Jamie entered the room and sat down next to the two men.
"I picked up about a dozen different shoe tracks from the back yard, I'm running them against the ones we found next to the victim" , she informed them, "There's no sign of forced entry or struggle anywhere in the house so I'm guessing who ever got her did it when she was already outside"
"Damn" Speed cursed "Outdoor crime scenes are the worst! Especially residential areas like a back yard, there's a whole mess of evidence and outsiders with access"
"Not this time" Horatio said in a knowing tone "The Kramer's have a back gate, a locked one the only people with access are the ones who have a key"
"Or the ones that were let in by someone with a key" Jamie completed the sentence for him
"Exactly"
"So that means we're looking at the family or anyone she might have opened the gate for" Speed concluded
"You think she was running away because she was pregnant?" Jamie asked after a moment reflection, "Maybe she was going to have an abortion"
"There's only one person who would know that now would there?" Horatio said "We need to meet the boyfriend"
CASE 2 - 59 Lincoln Drive
Eric pushed the elevator button and waited. He and Calleigh were flanked by two police detectives and the four of them were headed for the forth floor, apartment D-4. It took Calleigh an hour to install a laser stick in the exact angle of the bullet, pinpointing the exact location from which the bullet came from. The red laser indicated a window in the forth floor of the building across the street.
When they finally arrived at the apartment the detectives did most of the talking explaining to the man who answered the door what this was all about.
"I have a gun" He admitted as soon as the five of them were inside the apartment "but I haven't used it in months."
"Could we see it?" Calleigh asked
The man nodded and went into the other room, returning with a small pistol which he handed over to Calleigh
"this is a 32 caliber" she said after a short examination. She brought it closer to her nose and sniffed it "It hasn't been fired in a while"
"I told you" The man said "I keep it for protection, that's it"
"One more thing Sir" Eric said as he got up to his feet "Could we take a look at your windows? The ones in the bedroom?"
"My windows?" the man asked in confusion, but when Calleigh and Eric nodded he simply shrugged and led them into the other room.
"What's that?" he asked when he saw Calleigh take out her camera
"We have to take some pictures Sir, don't worry" she smiled and took several pictures of the room while Eric opened the window. He could see the Stevens kitchen window clearly from where he was standing.
"It's a clear shot from here" he told Calleigh "difficult but clear shot" he noticed some black residue and took a sample of it for analysis.
"Hey Calleigh look at this" He called out and she joined him looking in the spot he was pointing at. There was a mark in the window ledge, a scratch.
"It looks recent enough" Calleigh commented "Might be a bullet graze"
Finally some of the pieces started to fit together in Eric's mind "and what do you want to bet that this window ledge is made of cement?"
CASE 1 - CSI interrogation room
Jamie looked through the glass window and observed the young man who was sitting at the table for a moment before going inside and joining Horatio who was already in the middle of his questioning.
"Brian, did you know that Lori was pregnant?"
"Yeah" the boy nodded, his eyes fixed on the ground "She told me last week. I loved her, i really did, we were going to get married and live together, raise the baby together"
"Did Lori tell her parents?" Horatio asked
"She was going to tell them after we got married" The boy answered quietly "I can't believe she's dead"
At that point Speed came and tapped gently on the glass drawing their attention.
"I did a little check on the family like you said H" Speed started as soon as the three of them stepped out of ear shot "According to the school records the two sisters must not be sharing the same DNA"
Jamie quickly reviewed the file he handed her and started reading out loud "Suspension for assault on another student, low grades, suspension for assault on a teacher. this list is a mile long"
"So we've got one girl who is perfect in every sense of the word, except she's sneaking around and getting pregnant and the other a total basket case with violent tendencies."
"You think the sister might have done it?" Speed asked in disbelief
"It doesn't matter what I think - it's all up to the evidence"
