They were all sure Sonia was quite a peculiar case. David wasn't excluded yet, and even Wendy could have been Gabriel's murderer. And all this without counting that it could have been also somebody else. But by now the CSIs were trying to concentrate on these three.
David? Well, he was in love with Sonia, hated Gabriel, even menaced him, could have returned after he received the cutting, maybe armed with a knife.
Sonia? She could have finally got tired of the humiliations. Her eyes could have been opened in the end, and the love turned into the deepest hate and desire of vengeance. And in such a short time, she couldn't have been able to clear her thoughts.
Wendy? As Sonia's best friend, she could have tried to stop Gabriel before he would have destroyed the girl from inside.
And what about the contact lens? Both Wendy and Sonia wear them, at least that's what they say. And if it was David, it may have got in Gabriel's hair in another occasion. Or maybe it was lost in the park, and the corpse simply fell over it.
Nicole entered the police station, and when she was told they were still investigating, she ran away, anger burning in her eyes.
- I think we
found something decisive – said Warrick – Sonia's fingerprints
on the high-heeled red shoes.
- But the
murderer used gloves! – said Catherine – and if it was her, why
did she take them off? Wait… if the shoes were originally hers,
then it's not a decisive proof.
- We'll have
to pay a visit to Ms. Catelli and Ms. Black anyway.
They knocked on
the door. No answer.
- Police of Las
Vegas! – they said.
Still silence.
Then something,
like a short wail…
- Look! –
said Catherine. There was a small red spot beside the door.
They broke in…
Sonia was lying in a pool of blood, silently wailing and breathing hard. There were at least three cuttings on her chest and belly.
The hospital
- Will she
live? – asked Wendy – oh, Sonia…
- She will –
nodded the doctor – she was brought here just in time. She lost
much blood, but she will survive.
- Just wait
'til I find who did this and… - David's fists closed.
- Wendy, where
were you? – asked Brass.
- I went for a
walk – she said – and at my return you were carrying my best
friend off in an ambulance!
Her eyes filled
with tears.
- Oh, Sonia –
she buried her face in her hands.
David sighed
and looked at the girl he loved, lying unconscious in the hospital
bed.
Wendy and
Sonia's home
- Bloody
footprints… - said Catherine – they seem little shoes.
- Girl's
shoes – said Grissom.
Then he noticed
something on the floor.
- Hair – he
said – it seems long, light brown hair… Sonia's hair is dark
brown, and Wendy's black. I think I know who did this… I'll
take it to Greg to see the DNA, we have samples from all of them…
The lab
Nick looked at
the photographs over and over again… then he noticed something. On
a spine of the rose they found in Gabriel's mouth, there was some
dark substance. He verified it was blood, so he took it to Greg for
the DNA…
David's home
Warrick and Sara looked
around, hoping to find a proof…
Bye!
