Sorry if this one lacks depth or details, I wrote it in a hurry! I have got just the storyline sketch, not it all written down! But prepare for mystery... everyone's suspected!
Warrick photographed, then lifted up a bloody knife.
- Grissom…
- Take it away, and send the blood to the lab… look! Footprints.
There was a set of them leading away over the sandy way in the park, but not going too close to the corpse. They seemed trainers. Beside Gabriel, there were his normal clothes, and his shoes, which were elegant black man's shoes. No other prints; if the murderer happened to walk away on the kinda high grass, there was no chnace to find their footprints. Gabriel was lying on the grass, in fact.
Dr. Al Robbins
- This young man was pierced with a knife in his back, right across the lungs and touching his heart… he must have died instantly. The toes and genitals have been cut off post mortem, as I see no blood circulation. The death must have occurred at around 7:45.
- Anything else? – asked Grissom.
- His nails and teeth are perfectly clean, of course he has not attacked the murderer, since, as I have said before, he was attacked from behind. The knife you have found is probably the weapon used, as it fits perfeclty inside the wound.
- Yes, the DNA confirms it as well.
- Any fingerprints?
- No… of course the murderer wore gloves.
- Poor young boy. He was certainly lovely, with all that golden hair.
Searching Gabriel's clothes
Sara and Nick passed over the completely bloodied white shirt.
- He was elegant tonight…
- Wait… I can sense something inside his pocket… look!
Nick showed Sara a small pocket-knife, then switched it open.
- Blood – said Sara – I'll take it to Greg.
Later
X, Y chromosomes – said Greg about the blood on Gabriel's pocket knife – but it isn't his blood.
- But it can't be the murderer's either – said Sara – as he died instantly, didn't have time to attack back. And if he saw that his attacker had a knife, he couldn't have been that stupid to turn his back on them and walk away quietly!
Next day, at the high school
Gabriel's face was hung almost everywhere around the school. Many students were crying. "I can't believe he's dead!" was heard fromeach angleas Catherine and Warrick walked along the corridor to reach Gabriel's class.
A brown-haired girl looked completely broken inside. She gasped for air lying across her desk crying desperately.
- Hello – said Sara – we're Sara Sidle and Warrick Brown, CSI… investigating about your classmate's death.
The girl raised her head for a second, then embraced the black-haired one siting beside her.
- Oh, Wendy! I… hope they'll find out and punish… I… Gabe… Wendy!
- Ssh, Sonia – the black-haired girl hugged her friend and caressed her back calmingly – they surely will... – she looked up at Sara and Warrick with her dark green eyes. Her stare said "give us some time… then we'll be ready to tell you anything you want to know."
The two CSIs got the message and walked over to a group of other students.
- Did Gabriel have any enemies?
- No – sniffed a girl – he had many, many friends… he was such a popular boy… you see, he was one of the best actors at the school theatre, and even the solist of the choir… and many people just called him "Prince Charming"… but wait! David… he has just arrived, look!
Questioning Nicole
- Nicole – asked Catherine – where were you this weekend?
- As I have already told you – she gasped – at my parents'. I came home with the 7:55 train. If you don't believe me, ask them, or my sister!
- All right, Nicole… and what about Gabriel?
- He had a party last Saturday… of course I couldn't have been there, maybe you should ask some guests… he told me he'd pick me up at the station… he didn't arrive and… oh, Gabe!
Nicole laid her head on the table crying.
But Catherine knew that the 7:55 train had arrived ten minutes earlier.
Questioning David
-David, is it true what your classmates say? – asked Brass – that you openly menaced Gabriel yesterday morning?
- I did – he confirmed, staring right into his eyes.
- So you admit it. And why, if I may ask? Your classmates said Gabriel showed some photographs to a group of friends and you had one of them…
- I tore it and pulled it down the toilet – said David firmly.
- What was on it?
- Nothing of your business! I seriously doubt it has anything to do with his death.
Questioning Sonia and Wendy
- Your classmates say you've seen some photographs – said Sara – can you tell us more?
Sonia gasped and pulled closer to Wendy.
- No. I gave the one I saw back to him – said Wendy.
- Please, if it can help…
- I'll tell – Sonia took a deep breath and wiped away her several tears – we've all been at his party last Saturday, and he took some photogrpahs of us girls in sexy clothes… that's all.
- Then why did you cry and collapse? And…
- She was too sexy – said Wendy – and I was as well. Can we go now?
Back to David's questioning
- Dave, did anything happen to your left hand? What's that cutting?
- Oh, nothing… I was just cooking, yesterday…
Exploring Gabriel's home
Grissom and Nick have just arrived to Gabriel's bedroom.
- Ooh, looks like somebody had a wild party – said Nick, as he had detected sperm on the bedsheet.
Grissom noticed a polaroid camera and a bottle of honey on the bedside table… and a red rose.
Please tell me more apart from "good" or "bad" and stuff! What you liked, what you disliked, what do you suspect! Hope you liked it!
