--Chapter 8--

Present:

When Catherine left the hospital, she called Brass.

"Brass we have a suspect" she said.

"Who?"

"Sara's ex-husband, Patrick Quinn."

"Ex-husband?" Brass was surprised to hear that Sara was once married.

"Yeah. Don't ask anything else, just find him, ok?"

"Ok, I will find him."

******

"We arrested him!" Brass shouted, when he ran into the break room.

Nick and Warrick looked at Brass.

"Ecklie is with him right now" he told them.

"They have him already?" Catherine asked him.

"Arrested who?" Nick asked Brass.

"Yep. He was top priority!" Brass told Catherine and looked at Nick.

"You know the partial fingerprint we found?" Catherine looked to Nick and Warrick. "It matched to Patrick Quinn."

"Who's Patrick Quinn?" they asked curiously.

Catherine gave them the file.

"Who can molest and rape his wife? That guy is crazy!" Warrick said and looked up to Brass.

"What is the connection between Sara and this guy?" Nick wanted to know.

"Uhm..." Brass looked over to Catherine.

"Patrick Quinn is Sara's...ex-husband," she told them carefully.

"What!" Nick shouted. "Where is he?"

"Nick you have to calm down! Think about Sara!" Brass tried to calm him down. "You can see him but only from a distance. Ok?"

"Fine! Lets go see that SOB!"

The four them walked into the room next to the interrogation room.

"Do you know why you are here?" Sgt. O'Riley asked Patrick.

"Nope!" he told O'Riley.

"Does the name Sara Sidle sound familiar?"

"Yeah, she is my ex-wife" Patrick said confused.

"When was the last time you saw her?"

"Two days ago. Did something happen?"

"Yeah, something did happen to her. She was almost killed Two days ago!" O'Riley yelled.

"And you think..." he said but stopped. "No way. I just came out of jail a couple of weeks ago. I know what I did to Sara was wrong but I didn't try to kill her!" he looked at them in horror. "I made a very big mistake nine years ago but I learned now to talk about a problem rather then solving them with my fists and.... I didn't hurt Sara!"

"Then why did we find your blood in her apartment?" Ecklie pointed to him.

Patrick lifted one foot up and removed his shoe and sock. "I was wearing sandals and I hit Sara's table. My toe was bleeding. So she let me clean it in the bathroom" he stated.

"Why were you there?" Ecklie was curious.

"I needed to talk to her, so I called her. I had to tell her that I'm very sorry for what I did. However, she was still at work and she said that she would meet me at her place in fifteen minutes. And if I tried something, she would shoot me between the eyes." "So I went to her apartment and talked to her for at least ten minutes. Then someone knocked on her door and she told me to leave through the backdoor."

"What kind of shoe size do you have?" Ecklie asked him.

"Size 13" he told him. "Something else?"

"No, you can go now, but don't leave Vegas. Because if you do, I will come after you and hunt you down like an animal" O'Riley said to him and left the room.

********

Meanwhile, Warrick couldn't believe it. "What the hell?"

"What is it Warrick?" Brass asked concerned.

"The shoe print I found was a size 12" he looked over to Catherine and Nick.

"That doesn't tell us, that he didn't do it!" Brass said to them.

*******

"What a coincidence, I didn't know she was married. I hope they can nail him because of the blood and his history. First, I have to take care of something else. Sara, YOU are going to DIE! And it's going to look like an accident" someone laughed evilly.

"Greg walked into the break room, when he saw the gang coming out of the room.

"Greg!" Catherine shouted when she saw him.

"What is it?" he asked.

"We have a suspect," they told him.

"Who?"

"Sara's ex-husband Patrick Quinn" Brass informed him.

"She was married?" Greg couldn't believe it.

Catherine handed over the file. Greg took it and looked at it.

"That bastard!" he yelled.

When the door from the interrogation room opened and Patrick came out, Greg ran to him and punched him in his face.

"Greg!" Warrick yelled and grabbed him and pulled him away.

"Who could you do that to her!" he yelled.

An officer brought Patrick outside.

Greg was still pissed off.

"Do you realize what you just did?" Catherine asked him.

"Yeah. And it felt good!" was Greg's comment. He turned around and went to his lab.
