Ok - even though I'm not really getting any reviews which means I don't
really know if anyone is reading this at all - I'm still going to go on an
keep writing this story - if for no other reason then the fact that I
already have , like, the next 5 chapters already written and ready.. But I
do wish someone would tell me what they think of it!!!! I really could use
the input!!!
Anyway as always - have fun and enjoy!
PART 3
"What are you working on?" Erik asked speed as he got in the lab with a bag of evidence of his own
"I have a bloody footprint on the path - might be the killer's. What about you?"
"Well the car turned out empty. I got the victim's clothe from Alexx" as he talked he emptied the bag on the examination table and started spreading it around. For a few minutes the two men worked in slience.
"Ok this is interesting" Erik exclaimed after a while just as Horatio walked into the lab
"Share with me Erik"
"One day H, you're going to have to tell us how you manage to show up every time we find something out" Speed smirked, earning a small smile from Horatio and a snicker from Erik. He joined the other two at the table and waited for Erik to explain his latest finding.
"Well, these clothes are all wrong" Erik started "this girl was a nanny, going out to the park with two kids. But these clothes are expensive - all brand names, the hand bag is "Prada" the jewelry are all solid gold - ring, necklace, earrings. Plus underwear - lace, expensive not exactly what you wear for a day in the park with the kids."
"And one day you're going to have to explain to us how you know so much about women's clothing" Speed teased again
"Hey I live with 3 sisters ok? You pick up a few things!" Erik defended himself with a smile. Horatio smiled slightly at the bantering - it was their way of letting off steam, reliving the tension. He knew very well that it didn't mean they were any less committed or any less interested in finding the criminals - it was a way of dealing with the daily horrors they encountered.
"I noticed something else H" Speed turned back to business "the victim was well kept, her nails were done, her hair was dyed recently, red lipstick - the whole nine yards"
"So we have a nanny living way over her budget, dressing way too nicely for a day in the park" Horatio paced as he tried to put everything together
"Maybe she was meeting her boyfriend - that would explain the fancy underwear" Erik tried
"Maybe she was meeting our kidnapper." Horatio upped the stakes

"Hey Billy" Jamie greeted with a smile once the man was brought in and seated in front of her "This is my partner Calleigh Duquesne. How are you Billy?"
"Jamie Sullivan, well I'll be damned" the guy smiled and Calleigh couldn't help but notice how normal he appeared - just a regular man off the street "It's been a long time"
"Yes it has Billy. How's life on the inside? I'm betting this facility doesn't really provides you with the kind of entertainment you are particularly fond of?"
"Well, it's not that I don't appreciate a visit from an old friend but I'm guessing there is a reason you came in to seem me" the guy asked, still smiling.
"I kinda need your help Billy, you see one of your sick little friends picked up a few trophies this morning. You wouldn't know anything about that now would you?"
"Now how would I know anything about that? I'm here, locked away where I can't cause any harm to society"
"Come one Billy, work with me here" Jamie leaned over the desk and got closer to the man "You know those nice living arrangements you have here? Single cell, out of general population - you know I can change all of that in a second"
"You do know what they do to pedophiles in prison Mr. Sacker?" Calleigh joined in
"Look, I don't know anything Ok?" the man was suddenly getting nervous
"I need you to give me some names. I'm betting there are only a hand full of guy who deal with this - shall we say "unique" type of merchandise. Who would I go to if I wanted to sell a kid Billy?"
"Look, I don't know exactly. These people aren't exactly going around giving out their real names."
"Write down what you know" Calleigh slid over a pad and a pen towards him
"One more thing Billy, I need you to tell me how it's done" Jamie said as the man started writing.
"Tell you how what is done?"
"The whole transaction - who finds the kids, when does the merchandise exchange hands, how long after the grab, everything."
"I only bought the kids I don't know all the details"
"Tell us what you do know" Jamie leaned back in her chair and waited as Billy Sacker took a deep breath and started telling them all he knew

Speed lifted his eyes from the pages of analysis he was going over and saw Horatio coming down the hall. He picked up his stuff and headed out the door in a hurry.
"Hey H" Speed quickly caught up and fell in step with his boss "I have something here that doesn't fit"
"What is it Speed?"
"I analyzed the blood from the footprint we found at the crime scene" Speed handed him the report "I found two blood samples - I ran a DNA test and matched one of the samples to our victim"
"What about the other one?"
"That's the interesting part. It isn't human"
"Not human?"
"It's cow's blood" Speed shrugged at him "I also found traces of manure along with the blood"
"Manure and cow's blood?"
"Hey H" Erik came running up to them "I got the phone logs off of Jasmine Blake's cell phone and one of the names kept popping up so I went on a limb and checked out the guy's credit card bill - all of the jewelry, the "Prada" bag - it's all charged to his card."
"Guess we found ourselves the boyfriend"

CSI Interrogation room
"So you are Mr. Peter Walker" Horatio sat down in front of a the man who appeared to be in his late thirties. He noted the expensive business suit and the leather briefcase as well as the gold band wedding ring on the man's finger.
"Do you know a girl named Jasmine Blake?"
"No, never heard of her" the man replied, a little too fast for Horatio's liking.
"Maybe this will jog your memory" Horatio placed a picture of the victim that was taken at the morgue in front of the man and looked closely for his reaction. The man looked at the picture and flinched slightly - quickly composing himself and pushing the picture back across the table towards Horatio.
"She looks familiar - I might have seen her around. I don't know"
"You more then just saw her around Mr. Walker" Horatio stood up and started pacing around the table "Phone records from her cell phone show that she called you repeatedly and your credit card statements tell us you've been buying her some pretty expensive gifts. So Mr. Walker - do you think you want to revise your statement?"
"Ok, yes I knew her." The man finally gave in
"You had an affair with her" Horatio stated the obvious
"She was a nice girl, we met at the park, we went out a few times, I bought her some things"
"You don't seem to be very sad about her death" Horatio leaned in closer to the guy "Were you by any chance at the park today?"
"I am sorry that she died. Look I liked her, I wasn't in love with her but I liked her. I was supposed to meet her there at 10" the man sighed, "We usually met there and spent some time together."
"And today?"
"I take my daughter out to the park - that's usually my excuse for going there and meeting with Jasmine. This morning my daughter wasn't feeling well. I had to take her to the doctor's - I never had a chance to let Jasmine know I wasn't coming"

"You ok?" Calleigh asked Jamie as they made their way into the Miami Dade crime lab building together "you've been pretty quiet since we left the jail!?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Brought back some memories that's all" Jamie shrugged and pushed the door open, stepping inside the cool building.
"Hey where were you two?" Speed came down the hall "you missed out on all the action"
"We were following up on some stuff" Jamie quickly lied and didn't miss the look Speed gave her. It slightly surprised her - that even after such a short time working with her he could tell when she was lying but that thought was interrupted when Horatio appeared.
"How did it go with the boyfriend?" Speed asked
"The boyfriend?" Jamie and Calleigh both asked in confusion
"The very married boyfriend who also has an air tight alibi - he's not our guy" Horatio sighed "What do you have for me James?"
"I don't think the nanny was in on it" Jamie reported "I think this was random, pedophile market related"
"You mean these kids are going to be sold to some sicko for his porno collection?" Speed asked
"Something like that" Jamie nodded
"Here is what we're going to do." Horatio's next sentence was interrupted when the doors to the building were opened and 3 men in dark business suits came into the building. "And the feds go marching in" Speed whispered under his breath as he moved to stand slightly behind Horatio, waiting as the 3 men made their approach. To his surprise the lead man didn't go straight to Horatio - instead he headed right to Jamie.
"Well, well, well you look great as always J" He greeted with a sly smile
"Bailey" Jamie smiled back somewhat uncomfortably "Not surprised to see you here"
The guy then turned his attention to Horatio "Horatio Cain! How charming to see you two working together again."
"Agent Evans why don't I get you up to speed?" Horatio said as nicely as he could through slightly clenched teeth "In my office"
As the four men disappeared in the direction of Horatio's office all eyes turned towards Jamie for an explanation
"Yeah" she said uncomfortably "Me and agent Evans kind if have a history."
"What kind of history?" Calleigh asked with a smile, her southern drawl even more evident then usual
"He's my ex-boyfriend"
Anyway as always - have fun and enjoy!
