Chapter 2: Past Haunts
Detective Jen Scotts walked down the blue halls of the crime lab. Upon reaching a certain lab, she went in.
Inside, her boyfriend Wes dressed in dark trousers, long-sleeved blue shirt under the Crime Lab's official blue lab coat. He was bent over the microscope, probably processing some evidence.
'Oh, why do I have to be such a sucker for a cute guy in a lab coat?' thought Jen mischeviously.
Jen tapped him on his shoulder and he jumped.
He turned around and exclaimed,"JEN!"
Jen raised an eyebrow and said,"Jumpy?"
Wes narrowed his eyes in protest. He was about to say something when Jen cut him off with a kiss. Caught by surprise, Wes did not return the passion until Jen wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head closer.
Jen could feel Wes grin under the passionate kiss.
Suddenly Catherine's voice was heard,"Oh guys, get a room!" sounding exasperated.
The couple pulled apart. Looks like Greg was there too and his face was split in a grin. For a moment Jen thought they could get pass the irritating lab tech without any annoying comments.
However, Greg started chanting mockingly,"Jen and Wes, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!"
Catherine grinned while the other two blushed crimson. Greg continued,"First comes love, than comes marriage, than comes baby in a baby-carriage!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!"
It was hard to tell who's face was a deeper crimson. Wes muttered,"Git,"
Cath said,"Don't balme me! Just came to use the computer!"
Greg, recognising the look in Jen's eyes, said,"Hehe.. um, I have this something I gotta do...." as he slipped out of the lab.
Jen shook her head and suddenly remembered what she came in for, besides having a little nibble on Wes...
"Hey, I managed to get an eyewitness. She should be in the interogation room right now," she said.
Wes grinned sheepishly and nodded.
Jen asked,"Shall I go get Sara?"
Wes hesitated then said,"I don't think so. It's better not to approch her when she is ion one of her moods....I'll fill her in later,"
Cath said,"Talking to Sara after she yells at Grissom is like asking for a death sentence...."
Jen frowned, not understanding a word they said, but she didn't bother to ask.
Later in the interogation room:
"So, you're working as a janitor in the Luxor? Helen Gibson was found it the back ally," stated Wes.
The middle-aged woman with brown hair with wisps of grey nodded,"Shirly Rosenburg is the name. I was taking out the trash when I sawa man pinning down a female, strangling her,"
Wes raised an eyebrow as he said,"You saw someone attacking a girl. Right after that, you didn't bother to tell anyone or call the police?"
Shirly turned a deep shade of red and muttered,"I didn't want to lose my job. Things happened so fast that I thought I was hallucinating.... until now," Wes and Jen exchanged glances.
Then, Jen asked,"So, you did see who it was who attacked Helen Gibson?"
Shirly shrugged and said,"I didn't see his face, he wore a mask. Also, a hat, a long black coat. Well, his entire body was dressed in black,"
Wes suddenly sat straight up. Jen asked,"What?"
Wes shook his head and said, addressing Shirly,"What about the mask?"
Shirly replied,"Black, with strips of yellow here and there....creepiest mask I ever saw,"
Wes looked absolutely shocked. He said a hurried,"Thank you," and went out of the room. Jen followed him and asked,"Wes! Wait up! What's happening?"
Wes turned into Grissom's office while muttering,"Hang on, I'll fill you in, in a second,"
Grissom, who was flicking through a case file looked up and Wes said,"Gris, bad news. We have an eyewitness who saw the murder of Helen Gibson, and guess what? The description fits Brian Mc Cormick exactly."
Grissom's eyes widen and he immediately picked up the phone and started dialing.
Jen asked,"Wes, what?..." Wes looked at her gravely and said,"It happened before you joined the crime lab, about a year back. Sara... was raped,"
Jen gasped,"Yup, by a guy named Brian Mc Cormick. He wore the exact mask that Shirly described," continued Wes.
Jen said,"You don't think he is still out there?"
Wes shook his head,"Not likely, we got him, during Sara's attack. Nick got to him just in time. Sara was lucky, Brian usually killed his victims. He's been in jail since then, no parol, nothing, or maybe he escaped,"
Right on cue, Grissom suddenly said,'Hello, Las Vegas State Jail?Yes, this is Gil Grissom from the Crime Lab. I need you to check something for me. Alright, Mc Cormick, Brian. Convicted of murder and rape of several victims a year ago. Ok, I'll hold on,"
He looked up and said,"Detective, I need you to tell Sara, under no circumstances is she to stay on this case. It is just too dangerous,"
Jen nodded and walked out of the room.
"Yes, Brian Mc Cormick. He is still in jail? Alright, arrange an 'appointment' with him. I'll send a couple of my people ove," said Grissom while glancing at Wes.
Wes sighed, knowing that one of these 'people' was probably him.
Grissom hung up and Wes asked,"Gris, do you think that someone is just copying Brian Mc Cormick's stlye or...." "..or Brian Mc Cormick has an accomplice somewhere out there," continued Grissom.
Wes frowned and said,"I wouldn't put anything past Mc Cormick. I reckon he found a way to get an accomplice,"
Gil removed his reading glasses and said,"Assume nothing Wes, assume nothing..."
