Chapter 10: Temporary Relief
"P.U! You stink!" exclaimed Greg, pinching his nose in an exaggerated manner.
Wes narrowed his eyes and said,"Thank you, I think so too," sarcastically.
Nick, Catherine and Wes have arrived at the crime lab right after heir eventful night. Not wanting to wait until their next shift, they logged into some overtime and got to their respective tasks.
After careful but quick examining, Wes managed to find a strand of dark hair, with enough DNA for comparisons.
So, Wes is at one of the crime lab's many laboratories with the resident lab rat, Greg Sanders. Grg smiled grimly after seeing Wes' tired face, not to mention the black eye, "Ever heard of shower and sleep? I've got a feeling that those words are not in your vocabulary,"
Wes grinned, "Wow, never heard of them... DNA results?"
Greg scowled,"Since when was it all business with you?"
"Since I fell three storeys and started smelling like a warthog..."
Greg smirked and said,"I just fed the DNA into our beloved machine. The results should be out any minute,"
Wes nodded. Greg grinned and lowered his voice,"So, who's gonna be your bestman? Warrick, Nick, or me?"
Wes raised an eyebrow,"Greg, it's only been a couple of days... Jen and I haven't palnned anything yet..."
Greg cleared his throat and said,"Listen, Warrick and I have a bet going on, about who'll you pick to be bestman. So, it wouldn't hurt to tell me who's in the favour now, right?"
Wes asked,"If I pick Nick?"
"Then Warrick will win the bet, he's betting on both him and Nick,"
"Kinda unfair for you ain't it?"
"I have faith in you, you won't let a dear buddy lose now would you?"
Wes bit his lip, amused at how the guys in this crime lab seem to love to bet about anything. Just then, the printer started humming, as it began printing out the DNA results.
Greg pulled the paper out, read through it, and sighed.
Wes asked,"Bad news?"
"No match on anything in AFIS database. Your guy's got a clean past,"
"Bad news," confirmed Wes, nodding.
"However, the DNA matches the semen found on your past two lady victims,"
"So... good news,"
"But unless you have something else for me to compare it to, your chance of finding the guy is very narrow,"
Wes sighed,"Ok, bad news," and whipped the paper out of Greg's hand and disappeared down the hall.
Greg scowled and called after him, "You're WELCOME!!"
Wes popped in at one of the other lab rooms, where Catherine was, deciphering the morse code. Jen was also there.
"Hello ladies," he said.
Jen looked up with a grin. Catherine however, didn't say anything.
Wes said,"I've got good news and bad news. Pick your pleasure,"
Catherine muttered,"Bad,"
Wes said,"Ok, got DNA from hair, no records whatsoever on database,"
Jen said,"Knew it was too good to be true, good?"
"Same guy killed those past two victims, Helen Gibson and Rhonda Stevens,"
Catherine asked,"That's it?" Wes nodded.
Jen sniffed the air,"Something doesn't smell right..."
Wes scowled while Catherine sniggered, she remembered all too well about Wes' dip in the rubbish dump.
Jen said,"Oh, it's you!" to Wes, "Switch the cologne,"
Wes raised his eyebrows mischiviously, "I thought you like my scent?"
Catherine sighed and said,"Ok, I know you guys are engaged and all that, but stop flirting, you're making me feel so single!"
Jen smirked and said,"Sorry..." Then Catherine exclaimed,"Finally! I've decoded the message!" Holding up a piece of paper that said:
"Nick Stokes is still alive, you ninny! You expect me to pay for unfinished business? Take care of Erin Stokes by tomorrow or I will personaly make sure you will pay."
After reading, Jen said,"Such a sweet-tempered guy, don't you think?"
"Erin? Going after her once is not enough?" asked Catherine.
Wes frowned,"Well, she's already out of the hospital, what do we do?"
Catherine replied,"Get the cops, we can look out for Erin when she is in more vunarable places,"
Jen said,"It still puts her in danger though,"
Catherine looked at Jen,"Say... you do look like Erin, don't you? (A/N: Pure coincidence!lol) Hair length and colour wise. If a guy is targeting you through a mask, bruised from the night before, frusrated he hasn't completed a job yet, don't you think he'll get careless?"
Wes' eyes widened,"What? You're suggesting..."
Catherine said,"Well, Jen knows how to defend herself, we can ask Erin to take a day off from work. Jen can lure out suspect to us, and we can catch him,"
Wes fully objected,"And put herself in danger? Come on, Cath. You know what this guy is capable of..."
"Wes, it's Ok, I want to help," said Jen firmly.
Wes looked at her, face full of concern,"I don't want you to get hurt,"
Jen smiled,'Don't worry, I'll be fine. We need to catch the guy, before he takes more lives!"
Outnumbered, Wes sighed and nodded. Jen grinned and said,"I knew you'll see it that way," and kissed him, but she backed away, wrinkling her nose.
Wes rolled his eyes and said,'Har har... That's it, I'm gonna go take a bath..."
The next morning, arrangements have been made ready to catch their elusive suspect. Out on the street, inside a large white van were about six people.
High-tech forensic tools and machines lined the walls. Jen was dressed in office clothesto look exactly like Erin.
Catherine was attaching the speaker device behind Jen's ear.
"Ok, so the plan is like this: we know that Erin always goes through that empty alleyway everyday, our suspect will be sure to know that too. Hopefully, he is there right now. Jen will walk through the alley way, baiting him while we have half a dozen police officers stationed around. Meanwhile, our team in the van will also be trailing Jen, listening in on the spaeaker," rattled off catherine.
Grissom, Wes, Catherine, Capt. Jim Brass and a sound system specialist were to be in the van.
Wes looked up from the lap top he was working on and said,"It's time,"
Jen took a deep breath amd got ready to go out. "Hey, Jen?" said Wes. Je looked at him. Wes said,"Be careful,"
Jen nodded and got out into the street, towards the alleyway. She was also wearing a hat, to hide her face from their suspect. Slowly, she made her way down the street past a guy 'reading the newspaper' . She recognized him as one of the cadets, earger to take the case, and turned into the alleyway.
She walked down the alleyway, 'All alone now,' she thought.
Halfway down, nothing happened at all. The alleyway was eerily silent.
Jen whispered into the speaker,"Guys, I don't think he's going to attack n..."
That's when a rope was placed tightly around her neck, choking her. Jen panicked,'Oh God, please let the guys know something's wrong,' she thought, unable to speak.
The guys knew immedietly, when Jen suddenly cut off. The six police officers appeared from different directions, guns out and pointed at the suspect.
A second later, the white van screeched to a halt in the narrow alleyway, the passengers coming out. The suspect, shocked, let go of Jen and backed against the wall.
Wes immedietely went to Jen and got the rope off her. The masked guy held his hands up in silent surrender.
Catherine felt a surge of satisfaction that they finally got the guy. Then, just as suddenly, the suspect reached into his cloak and pulled out a couple of smoke bombs.
Before the officers could react, the masked man threw the smoke bombs towards them, blinding everyone. Brass yelled,"OPEN FIRE!"
The officers startd shooting towards the place where their suspect was satnding. After numerous shots, the smoke cleared. The wall behind the suspect was badly fried, due to the bullets, but the masked man was no where to be seen.
Catherine let out an angry growl, looking at all the law enforcement officers. Each one looked more disappointed then the last.
They had lost their suspect, again.
