"What do you mean I'm suspended?" Jennifer screamed.
"Jen, calm down." Nick said as he pulled her back. Jen was face to face with the Sheriff and if Nick didn't intervene, he'd have a crime scene to clean up.
"Nick. I will not calm down. I have lost my job and all he can say is I compromised the case beyond solvable. What did I do?" Jen cried. "What did I do?"
"We have eye witness testimony that you threw out evidence so that Carlos Rametti would be charged with murder." Brian Mobley seethed.
"Rametti? He's the neighbor. I only asked a few questions and took fingerprints because he was at the house earlier to return a lawn mower. I didn't do anything of the sort." Jen yelled once again.
"Too late Jennifer. The evidence that you collected was found in a trash bin a few houses down. Evidence that could have someone else in Mr. Rametti's place." Mobley spoke. "So why don't you go home and take care of that beautiful little girl of yours. I'm sure she'll enjoy having her mommy around all the time. Good bye Jennifer."
"But..." Jen blurted out.
Nick intervened. "Come on Jen. Let's go home. You'll have your day in court and there you'll get to tell the truth. Let's go."
"I can't believe this! Nick, you know I would do such a thing!" Jen cried out as they walked through their front door. "I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Jen, you don't have to explain anything to me. I know you didn't do anything wrong. There's going to be an internal investigation and you're dad will make sure he gets to the bottom of this." Nick said comforting his wife.
"I didn't do it. I swear." Breaking down she threw her arms around Nick.
"I know you didn't baby. I know you didn't." He paused and kissed her forehead. "How about I run you a hot bath so you can relax. You're tense and stressed out and you know that's not good. Once you're relaxed, I'll go next door and get Emily. I think once you see her, your mood will change."
"Nick, I don't want a bath. I want my job back." She seethed.
"I know you do, and I want you to have your job back as well. But until the investigation is started you need to rest and relax. You don't need to give yourself a migraine. Especially when we have a ten-month-old toddling about in the house." Nick paused. "So go in the bedroom get undressed and I'll come and get you once I'm finished okay? Sound good?"
Jen nodded. "Yeah, actually it does. Thanks." She smiled and walked off into their bedroom.
Nick sighed and took off his jacket throwing it on the back of the couch. He grabbed the mail from the phone stand and plopped down onto the couch. Scrubbing his face with his hands he sighed once more and muttered, 'Mobley is such an ass. How can this be? Jen is an excellent CSI. Someone is setting her up. I know it. I can feel it.' He leaned back into the couch as he opened the mail. Telephone bill, Cable bill, Magazine renewal notice, Automobile Insurance bill, and a Victoria Secret catalogue for Jen. There was one letter than was addressed to Nick- no postage stamp or post office markings. Suspiciously, he opened the letter and pulled out the piece of paper from inside. 'Do you love me?' It read, and that's all it said. 'They we're here.' Nick whispered to himself. Now it was getting serious. He had another stalker and she knew where he lived. He put the letter down and went to start Jen's bath.
"Baby. I'm gonna keep Emily next door. I got paged to come into the lab for a few minutes. I'll be back." He leaned down to give Jen a kiss whom was already enjoying her warm bubble bath.
"Okay." She smiled back.
"I'll pick up diner on the way back. Don't cook, just relax." He mentioned.
"Alright, alright. Go. Before someone gets mad at you. My dad." She laghed.
"Okay, bye." He spoke as he flashed his to die for smile.
--- "Ronnie, is there anything special about this one? Did you find any markings?" Nick asked.
"Well, not any special markings like from a computer printer." He paused. "But I did find something. "
"What?" Nick asked.
"Here." Ronnie replied sullenly as he flipped on the switch to the UV light. "It's invincible unless this light is shone onto it. I think the writer used one of those magic markers on it."
Nick stepped forward and his eyes shot open wide as he read the hidden message that was written on the paper. He couldn't believe what he was looking at.
"Say goodbye to that bitch. Say goodbye, to Jennifer."
"Jen, calm down." Nick said as he pulled her back. Jen was face to face with the Sheriff and if Nick didn't intervene, he'd have a crime scene to clean up.
