Chapter 30
Back at CSI headquarters, Nick feverishly writes up his report, including all aspects of the evidence he had taken from the scene. The fact that Sara had shot of Tony's head was going to warrant an investigation. Nick would do everything he could to prove it a clean shooting. Greg finds Nick in the layout room.
"Hey Nick, any word on the girls?"
"None yet, Greg. What did you find on the plunger from Eddie's arm?"
"Just what we thought, his prints. His prints on the crack pipe found at the scene too. Although according to the tox screen, there wasn't any in his system."
"So what'd he OD on?"
"Well, let's just say somebody thought he was a rat."
"What?" Nick asked.
"The H he was shooting was laced with rat poison. Wouldn't take much to kill him though. There was only about .95% true H in the mix. Aside from the rat poison, the person he bought it from cut it with starch and powdered milk."
".95%? Seems like a waste. I wonder if he knew it was so little."
"Well, historically, the purity of H ranged from one to ten percent. More recently, however, the purity has ranged from one to ninety-five percent with the average only being thirty five percent. Somebody's getting ahead, but it isn't the user, that's for sure."
"Thanks Greg. What about the brainless guy? Did he use the crack?"
"Negatory. He was on an anabolic steroid/lsd cocktail."
"The steroid would confirm why he's such a big guy."
"Yes it would. Hey, I gotta get back to the lab. Let me know when you hear from Grissom."
"Sure thing and thanks again man." Nick says.
"No prob."
Compiling his findings and reports, Nick heads to the hospital to see what he can find out from Grissom.
