Disclaimer: I own all the characters. They're standing behind me right now! Really!

Summary: A casefile. In rhyme. It seemed like a good idea at the time. (OH NO! I'M STILL DOING IT!)

'Twas the night before Hallows and all through the lab

The lab techs were finding excuses to gab

Greg was touching up his costume with care

In hopes that a cute co-worker soon would be there

The day-shift were nestled all snug in their beds

While nightmares of Ecklie danced through their heads

Sara in her tie-dye and I with my bugs

Were examining fibres torn off of some rugs

In Bob's living room there'd arisen a clatter

He'd sprang from his mistress to see what was the matter

Away from the bedroom he flew like a flash

Saw the body on the carpet and threw up in the trash

The admirable breasts of his girlfriend Renee

Rose and fell rapidly as she gasped in dismay

Police arrived; crime scene tape securing the scene

The body identified as Renee's husband, a Marine

Had he killed himself, realizing his wife untrue?

Not likely, and the three shots to his back were a clue

Now Sara, now Brass, now Warrick and Cat

Arrived on the scene, smelling a rat

To the corners of the bedroom, to the inside of the car

For evidence the CSI's didn't have to look far

Blood on the seat of the vehicle outside

Told him that someone had had an unpleasant ride

I took some samples, then questioned the two

It was then that Nick arrived, a little bit blue

'Sorry I'm late, boss' he said, seeming sincere

I didn't ask why he was dressed like a dead pioneer

I went back to questioning Renee's illicit dear

Who claimed that he and his girlfriend were in the clear

The samples from the car didn't match the vic

Nor that of Bob and his extramarital chick

We ran the license plate and came up with a match

A drug-dealing neighbour; now here was a catch

He was dressed all in fur from his head to his shoe

When we knocked on the door of this pimp named Hugh

He said he had an alibi; his sister named Mary

And we couldn't arrest him just because he looked rather scary

Sara and I went to reinterview Bob

But he was out at his political job

We spoke to his wife, who told us to leave

We called her in for an interview to see what we'd achieve

Sure enough, Suzanne had known about Renee

Muttering 'the secretary; what a walking cliche'

Suspicious, we performed an extensive search

What we found made my heart give a triumphant lurch

Though Suzanne had an airtight alibi

We discovered she'd been seeing a hitman on the sly

'That was easy' Warrick said after she confessed

'Yes,' I answered 'Just one question to be addressed'

'How did the hired killer make such a mistake

Thinking Renee was her husband, that soldier named Jake?'

The lessons we learned today, so far

'Don't let the hitman use the drug dealer's car

Check his eyesight before you make a contract

And divorce is cheaper than murder if your husband's a rat'
