Abra Cadabra

Now at the lab, all they could do was to wait. Warrick was running the prints they got off of the gun through AFIS and Brass was attempting to track down Jenna Kyriacos for GSR tests. The mother was clean, so was the wedding planner, Michael.
Catherine laid her head back on the top of her chair, giving her eyes a break from the white file papers in front of her. She was feeling horrible about her stupidity in not testing Jenna Kyriacos for GSR. It annoyed her to no end. She wanted to stay on this case but if she allowed likenesses to rule her logical mind she wasn't going to get very far with the case. In fact, if she didn't start concentrating, she was going to be pulled off.
That wasn't to say the others weren't feeling the heat too.
Sara had looked over at Catherine a number of times to check and see how she was taking all of the case. She knew Catherine must have been annoyed with what had happened, forgetting to check and having the death of two kids, one looking identical to Lindsey.
"I found your girl, but we've got bigger fish to fry," Captain Jim Brass said, interrupting the dead silence. Catherine looked up immediately, though she noticed the others stayed focused on their folders.
"The little girl at the scene, Livvie Jallarico, went missing about fifteen minutes ago from her bed at home. Her parents are in a fit because…"
"Livvie's blind," Catherine supplied. Brass looked at her, slightly surprised.
"Yeah."
"She helped us find the gun from the wedding case," Catherine answered his unasked question. Brass nodded.
"You coming?" Brass asked. Catherine nodded, snapping shut the files of her colleagues to get their attention.
"After all, the first 24 hours are the most crucial."
Bah, humbug. I keep writing short chapters but I don't wanna just keep ranting and ranting! Ugh! Anyway, this way you get more in one day, right?
Hope you're enjoying this!
