TAKE MY BREATH AWAY -- THE SERIAL STRANGLER
A CSI Fan Fiction by sarahcanrana

"Vegas Victim #2"

Detective Brass meets both Catherine and Grissom at the scene. They walk past the yellow tape as the detective walks up to them.

BRASS: Would you believe it?
GRISSOM: Believe what?
BRASS: That this guy can get away with murders in broad daylight.
CATHERINE: What can you tell us about the vic?
BRASS: Amy Liu…Asian…5-foot 7-inches? Long brown hair… [Brass hands over Amy's wallet to Catherine]
CATHERINE: You took her wallet from her bag? [Opens the wallet] 25 years old…
BRASS: Nope. It was right beside her body…strange thing, though.
GRISSOM: No money was taken?
BRASS: No money was taken.
CATHERINE: Now why would a person take a wallet out of the victim's bag for no reason at all?
GRISSOM: Maybe the killer wanted to know who he killed.

They see the victim, Amy Liu, laying face down on the street – her handbag still around her left arm. Grissom pulls out his digital camera and takes pictures of her and the surrounding areas from different angles. He moves her hair aside and snaps a few shots of her neck.

GRISSOM: Hey, Catherine. Look at this.
CATHERINE: All I see is swelling… [She turns to Grissom] …What do you see?
GRISSOM: Grip marks, on only one side of her neck…He only strangled her with one hand. Swab her fingernails.
CATHERINE: Yep. I'll take the swab to the lab after I'm done here.
GRISSOM: Good. I got to go make a phone call. I'll meet you back at the lab.
CATHERINE: Whoa, how are you going to get there?
GRISSOM: I'll walk. [He walks away]
