"Hey Bobby, I wander whose lipstick this belongs to." Alex said playfully, she said as she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"Give me a break Alex. Although it does seem a bit weird that everyone is so lovey-dovey. Knowing you, you are going to try to nail this girl. "

"You know this might actually be fun, trying to track down this lipstick shade." Eames paused thoughtfully, she studied her partner then the sheet of paper that had a smear of lipstick on it. " I think that I am going to run this down to Greg, maybe he will have some ideas."

"Uh Eames, I hate to burst your bubble, but Greg works in the fingerprints and DNA department with AFIS and VICAP, not Revlon, not cosmetics."

"Duh! Bobby! Which is probably why it's best to run it down to him. Then I'll run it down to Dawn, she works in the cosmetics trace lab, wait no, I think I better go to Dawn first." With that, she hightailed out.

"Smart ass." Bobby muttered.

Later in the day, Alex got the results back, she had charmed her two friends to get her piece of paper on to the top of the top priority list.

Greg, who had a habit of zooming in and out of conversations and linking everything to his profession on fingerprints decided to dust the prints, then drop them into some silver-nitrate and ninhydrin formula.

"Greg! What the heck did you do!" Alex laughed into the phone. " I told you to do DNA and basic fingerprint enviro check. Not dip them in bloody ninydrin-silver nitrate! AND put aluminum dust on it!"

Bobby looked up at her laughing his ass off.

"Whoops! Sorry Alex. I guess I zoomed out for a while."

"Tell me something else."

"OK. Um. I used the Lumar light on it!"

Alex just groaned

"Just be glad that wasn't for a formal investigation, or Internal Affairs would have had your ass on a roasting stick by now!" She teased Greg

"Yeah thanks for the wake up call."

"What ever." She replied dryly.

"I'm running it through AFIS right now, the system was down before, I'll get back to you ok?"

"Yep, sure. But why bother? They are my prints?"

"Right. Sorry. I need a day off." Greag whined

They both hung up with a click.

"He did what!" Bobby said still laughing. "Do not tell me he did what I've been laughing at for the past two minutes!"

"If you reckon he dipped the prints in purple ninhydrin. You are right."

"Go Greggo! Talk about destroying evidence!"

"Uh-Uh Bobby. Not so fast. I made Dawn take a swab first, so I will still be able to trace its origins. I will plant my self in Bloomindales if I have to just to see who purchases which brand and shade of Lip color!"

"If you find them, I'll take you out on a date." Bobby offered.

All the more reason to nail the bitch. My Bobby!!!

"In that case. Tell Deakins to reserve an interrogation room for me ok?"

~*~*~*~*~*~

I will eventually make them go on a date, but I thought that I should have some fun first!

AFIS by the way is the Automated Fingerprint Identification System. And I realize that DNA takes a hell of a long time to process (in difficult cases up to 5 weeks.) But try to ignore that ok. And Vicap has absoloutly nothing to do with fingerprints. It was just a mistake that I can't be bothered fixing! Please Review
