Catherine was in the middle of looking over the crime scene photos for the 50th time as she heard the door to Grissom's office open. "Grissom's not here" she stated as she started to look up from the photo's.
"Actually you're wrong Cath, I've just brought him back to the lab. He's in the break room making coffee. I said I'd come get you he wants to go over the case with everybody bring the files" before Catherine could even reply she saw Sara leave as if she was in a rush to get back to the break room. Grabbing the files up from the desk she followed suit.
"You're wrong the reason why this guy is doing it is all about power not sex, I mean we haven't found any seamen at all" Nick argued with Warrick as they wandered into the break room to grab a coffee. Both stopped dead in their tracks as they saw Grissom trying to make a pot of coffee, in any other situation what they saw before them would of been funny, there was Grissom reading the back of the coffee packet trying to figure out the right sort of ratio of water to coffee grinds as if it was the most complex thing in the world.
"Hey boss do you want me to make the coffee?" Nick enquired as he approached his supervisor "Griss?" Nick questioned as he got no response. Grissom's head snapped up
"Sorry, what was that?" Grissom asked as he went to place the Coffee back on the counter in defeat.
"I just asked if you wanted me to make the coffee, what are you doing in here anyway I thought you were off for the next few days getting some rest" Nick commented as he picked up the packet of coffee.
"He wanted to call a meeting, I know you're primary on this Nick but Grissom reckons he has some important information about the case" Sara answered for Grissom as she walked through the break room door
"Sara, good to have you back girl" Warrick spoke up as he went to sit at the table were Grissom had placed himself. "How was your holiday?"
"Good, missed you guys though" Sara answered as she also placed herself at the table
"We're all here then" Catherine remarked as she wandered through the door "So Grissom what have you got" All eyes turned to him at the head of the table
He looked down at his hands "The killer has started videoing his kills, he lures the girls, but they trust him so he's probably in a position such as a security guard or one where he can get the girls to leave with him. He's left handed" Grissom let out a sigh closed his eyes and continued
" He doesn't use gloves, but he does shave his whole body so we don't get hairs. He kills the girls naked but it's so he can wash off the blood after he's stabbed them. With the first victim in Vegas he kept her for at least three days before killing her, the second wasn't so lucky and the third he will probably keep for less than 24 hours. He lives alone in a house not an apartment, he must incapacitate the victims somehow as he doesn't tie them" at this point Grissom's hands started to shake
"So far he's killed a blond and a redhead, his next victim will be a brunette in the same age range as the previous four. He puts them into the dresses so everyone can see how pretty they are someone who wouldn't normally give him the time of day. Our best bet in catching him is with the video camera it's brand new and Sony if we get a catalog I think I can spot which one it is then try and trace it to possible sales in the stores." With that Grissom slowly opened his eyes and raised them to Sara's face who was sitting opposite him at the table with a grim look on her face.
Everybody else in the room where slightly shocked at what they had just heard, Nick went to question Grissom about how he knew all this when Sara gave him a stern look as to say just leave it.
"Nick, why don't Grissom and I look into the camera angle, that way if it's a dead end, no real manpower wasted" Sara requested
" Uh, yeah ok, you do that, I'll look into which stores sell Sony camera's in Vegas, Cath, War are you ok carrying on looking into the second girls identity and processing the rest of the evidence from last night" Nick commented, he knew he'd sort of been railroaded by Sara but at this point he was trusting her judgment on this camera business as for Grissom well who knew what was going on with him all he knew was that he was worried if anything Grissom looked worse than yesterday and now he had a bandage on his left hand. With tasks at hand everybody got up from their seats and headed out the door to their respective tasks.
