Derek stood up from his desk chair and stretched his legs. He headed directly for the control room, looking for an update from Alex about the marking on Molly's back.
"I haven't found anything, Derek. Apart from the fact that it has appeared in 7 out of the 10 murders you mentioned, it doesn't show up in any of the files." She explained, rubbed her strained eyes. Derek shook his head.
"Keep looking, Alex. I'll go look in the library for it." He replied, preparing to leave. Nick and Philip entered the control room then, causing Derek to pause. "What did you find?"
"Well, we got a look at the ESP lab but ran into Dr. Mayer before we could find out much. He told us to make an appointment." Nick said, settling down in a chair near Alex.
"Do so." Derek commanded, turning to Philip. "Has Rachel reported in yet?"
"She called about twenty minutes ago. She said there was nothing new, the girl died from a blow to the head and the symbol was apparently burned onto her back." Alex spoke up, stretching her shoulders out, "She won't be coming back today, she has to go pick up Kat from school. The nanny's sick."
Derek shook his head and left the control room for the library, leaving his associates in a hushed silence. Nick turned to Philip, who shrugged. Looking to Alex, he questioned with his eyes and she sighed.
"He's thinking about Natalya. These girls remind him of her." She explained, returning to her search through the archives. Philip nodded.
"That makes sense. He always did worry 'bout her, a little too much if ye ask me." Philip spoke, and Nick shook his head.
"Of course he worries, she's his daughter, but that doesn't explain his bizarre attitude. It's like he doesn't care about anything else. He's going Ahab on us." Nick replied.
"He does seem a bit preoccupied lately. I think if we get t' the bottom of this case he'll cool down." Philip agreed.
"That's going to be hard. So far we're striking out. I can't find this symbol anywhere." Alex complained, pushing the mouse away and sitting back. Nick stood up and rolled her chair to the side, taking over her search. Philip stood and left the room, followed by Alex, who intended to get some food.
