Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Spoilers: Could be anything.
The two CSIs started working their way around the fairly small living room looking for evidence. Sara took the walls and Greg took the floor surrounding the body. Sara took photos of the blood spatter that covered the framed family photos with an expressionless face. Greg, finding nothing on the floor, started going over the body.
"Hey Sara," he called, "I found some hairs under the vics fingernails."
"Bag it, then get it to Mia, see if she can compare it to the nieces."
They then moved on to the kitchen. Greg pulled out all the knives and sprayed luminal on them. The biggest one was covered in blood. Greg swabbed it, bagged it, and told Sara that he would check for prints back at the lab. Sara sprayed luminal around the sink. The drain and dish cloth on the pipe both lit up.
"Let's run through what might have happened," Sara said, "killer comes in, maybe through the back door, grabs a knife, goes into the living room and stabs Mr. Sheehan three times. He then, comes back into the kitchen, wipes off the knife with the cloth, puts it back, washes his hands, and leaves."
"Sound good," Greg commented, "I wonder if he thought to steal anything on his way out?"
"Only one way to find out," Sara said leading the way to the rest of the house.

After searching almost the entire house, Greg and Sara could find nothing out of place. Nothing was stolen, not even the very expensive looking watch that was on the bed side table in Mr. Sheehan's room. The only place left to look was Sheas bedroom.
The two stepped inside and looked around, nothing was out of place here either. The room was fairly modest, with a small bed in one corner, a bookshelf in another and a desk in a third. It was as neat and tidy as the rest of the house.
Greg went forward to start searching. Sara took the side of the room with the closet; Greg took the side with the bed and laundry basket. As he lifted the lid of the basket, he saw something that he never wanted to.
"Sara, come here."
Sara walked over and saw what Greg was staring at: It was a bloody T-shirt and jeans, lying on the very top.
"That cannot be good," was Sara's only comment as Greg photographed the clothes and bagged them to take back to the lab.
After that was done and they looked over the rest of the room, the two of them got into Sara's car and drove back to the lab.

The body arrived at the morgue before they did, so Sara and Greg dropped their evidence off with Mia and stopped for coffee in the break room before heading over to see how the Doc was doing.
"I haven't started looking inside him yet, and I already think this is some sort of gang murder," were Doc Robbins first words to them as they entered.
"Why do you say that?" asked Sara.
Instead of speaking, Doc lifted up the sheet covering Mr. Sheehan's body and let them look underneath.
"Because his penis and testicles have been cut off."
Greg squirmed as Doc Robbins covered up the body once more.
"They were severed postmortem, and I don't think you found anything like that in the house. This tells me that maybe someone wanted to get into a gang, and the thing to do was to kill someone, and then bring back something like this as a sort of……. trophy."
"Some people are so sick minded," Sara said quietly after Doc Robbins had finished the explanation.
"Now I really want to catch whoever did this," was Greg's ad in.
The Doc told them that he would page them after he was done the autopsy. They went into the layout room to begin processing their evidence, and both trying not to think about what had happened in the morgue.
