TAKE MY BREATH AWAY -- THE SERIAL
STRANGLER
A CSI Fan Fiction by sarahcanrana
"The Morgue"
Dr. Robbins is already filling in the New York crew, including Catherine. Before he "unveils" the body, Greg and Sharlene come in quietly so that Dr. Robbins would not be disturbed. Dirk throws a dark look towards Greg and Sharlene. Tracie and Emma Buffer, (the other CSI), watched Dirk. The Vegas crims do not take notice.
ROBBINS:
Okay, if we take a look at the contusion around her neck, you will notice that
it is situated around the left side.
EMMA: Alright, so that tells us that he killed her with one hand…his left
hand? What does that have to do with anything?
ROBBINS: Absolutely nothing…I've got nothing.
SHARLENE: There has to be something! This isn't going back to the cold
case files!
TRACIE: Calm down Sharlene…
Suddenly Sharlene is paged. She looks at her pager. Everyone looks at her.
TRACIE:
What is it?
SHARLENE: …I got paged by Grissom. I'll be back. Come one, Greg.
CATHERINE: We'll fill you two in later.
Sharlene follows Greg to Grissom's office. It is a very morbid place. There are not windows, at least none that are visible. The shelves are lined with creepy-crawly things and the chemical fridge is loaded with experiments, though the environment is welcoming. Only the humming of the computer on Grissom's desk, and the chirping of crickets made this office feel homely.
SHARLENE:
I just got your page, sir. What's up?
GRISSOM: There was another victim found in the park just a few hours ago…
[looks at Greg] Greg?
GREG: Yea, I know…I'll leave.
GRISSOM: No wait…You're going with Sharlene. Better start your training
now, right? I'll get someone to fill in your lab tech duties for now.
GREG: Thanks, boss…["pretty
damn proud of himself" look]
