Three Sins
"There are only three sins - causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish. The rest is window dressing." - Roger Caras
Five – Behind Dunkin' Doughnuts
The blue lights were flashing and giving him a headache. There were three police cars and the coroner's car parked on the roadside.
'Might as well get it over with,' Nick Stokes thought to himself as he climbed out of his SUV.
He was nearly at the end of his shift when Grissom assigned him the case. A dog walker found the body of a dead girl behind Dunkin' Doughnuts. It was all he needed; it looked like more overtime for him.
Detective Brass was already on the scene, he was standing next to the open door of one of the police cars. There was a man sitting down inside. He had what looked like a Jack Russell on his knee.
"Hey Brass," Nick said. "What happened?"
The detective moved away from the car as not to let the dog walker hear him.
"A stripper. She has been strangled. Tracy Green. Worked in Cielo de la Muchacha. Get this, she was laid out in the cross position. There is a piece of paper in her hand. Don't worry, no one has moved her."
"Laid out like a cross. Like that other girl. What was her name?"
"Madeline Flynn, worked at Viva. Murdered two months ago, found in the cross position out the back of MacDonald's. Found a bible quote next to her"
Nick nodded. "Did the coroner pronounce?"
"Half-an-hour ago."
The Texan walked over to where Tracy's body had been found. Her platinum blond hair was gleaming in the flashing blue light coming from the two police cars.
This was going to be a very long night.
Authors Note – Thank you for the reviews and positive feedback. I really appreciate it. After all the positive comments I have decided to continue it. Hope that it is not to clichéd for your liking. I live in the UK by-the-way, so I am sorry if I get things wrong to do with American terms, and places in Vegas.
I don't speak a word of Spanish and got the translation off of a translator.
I do know that this and the following few chapters are extremely short but I do not feel comfortable putting them together.

Ally (Skye) Eileen Phantom – Thanks. I just couldn't put those chapters together. It would have been strange.
