Chapter 4

Nancy smiled as George walked up. They were at the airport ready to life off. Bess was with Nancy. This was a mission and a case that was very important to her. She had to solve this and already she got emails of pictures to review on the plane. They got testimony in windows media format for her. They got evidence in bags. They got possible suspects and their specs. They got everything she would need to start out. This was going to be a good case.

"Hey guys. Sorry I'm running late." Nancy shrugged.

"You didn't miss the plane. So you aren't late. Are you ready?" George looked good. Her hair was longer now and her eyes were sparkly. Bess's blond hair was short and her blue eyes now had glasses. She was looking around the airport and pointing out all the hot guys going on the plane with them.

"Now boarding for flight 49 to JFK air port." The flight attendant stated. Bess, George and her self picked up their carry on luggage. Nancy was bringing her Alien ware laptop, and Bess was brining her power book 17-inch screen laptop and it looked like George was bringing her Toshiba laptop. They all were bringing their equipment with them. Nancy smiled as they lined up to go on the plane.

"So where is the evidence? You said on the phone you have pictures now." George stated. Bess yawned for their flight was six thirty in the morning. They had been here since four, woke up at two, and got there at three. Nancy was ready for a nap.

"Its on my laptop. The pictures are gruesome." They walked onto the plane after handing over the tickets. Bess had her sunglasses on; a pair of pants, sweater, for it was still cold outside, and a ball cap. Bess looked at Nancy.

"I decided to watch CNN to see if the case was on the news. They say that the victims were all single except one, which was married to a boy from New York Medical College." Nancy nodded her head.

"Yes, that is what I know. Lisa, the victim, was only a sophomore at NYU University; she was a pre-medical student. Rumor has it that she was supposed to get married to this guy. I got an interview with her friend when we get into town. We might have time to see the Statue Of Liberty tomorrow with a friend by the name of Tammy, and then we get an interview with Tad. We are meeting for lunch at a local Starbucks coffee shop." Bess sat down in her seat after stowing away in the loft.

"So who Tad?" George asked Nancy after putting up her luggage. Nancy was the last to put her carry on away in the carry on containers.

"He was the boyfriend to Lisa, the first victim. Supposedly, they had an argument with one another so loud it woke the neighbors. There is a lot of ground to cover for this case, and a lot of evidence to go over." George made a face, as they made room for Nancy's window seat. Bess had the isle seat, and George had the middle seat.

"You are getting into the evidence part of the cases now. So what do they have? Any leads?" Nancy took out her laptop and powered it on. Bess leaned over to see.

"The only suspect they have is Tad and he has a lawyer now to protect him, but since I'm not really a licensed detective or FBI agent yet. He is talking to me on good faith. Just talking, that is all we are doing." George looked over at the picture of Tad as Nancy brought it up. George smirked.

"Lisa had good taste in boyfriends in looks." Bess looked over and flipped out.

"He is hot! Look at those green eyes and wavy black hair. He looks so cute. Too bad he is a suspect, I'd date him in an instant." George snorted.

"Yeah, well what is he like? Does the report say?" Nancy nodded, bringing up his file to match the picture." Bess sat back in her chair.

"I'll read it later, I'm exhausted. These early flights are a pain in the butt." They both looked at Bess and laughed a bit. The flight attendant came by and told her to pack it up till they were in flight. She did close the cover shut, and put it in the bag, then under the chair. George turned to Nancy.

"Without showing me, what do you know so far?" Nancy knew a lot but knew barely anything.

"I know this much. Tad is twenty-six and well off. Lisa is on a full ride scholarship or else she would be in a less expensive school. She almost went to Columbia University. She was very bright and top in her class. Looked like she could of gotten into Columbia Medical School and wanted to do Neurosurgery. Tad is near the bottom of his class, and is barely keep up with his studies. There is jealousy there." George looked deep in thought.

"Sounds like he is a good candidate. Could be a little jealousy, but that doesn't add up for the other victims, does it? Or were they all premed students?" Nancy shook her head.

"Ginny, the second victim, was a senior in the Film School. She was doing a student film off the medical profession. She didn't know Lisa at all. Ginny was single and just divorced from her husband Roberto. Roberto is an owner to a café in down town NYC." Bess looked over at Nancy.

"Divorced? Could he be a suspect?" Nancy nodded.

"He hasn't been cooperating with the police at all with information. So talking to him will be fun. The FBI get in on Thursday and tomorrow is Wednesday so I figure we can do some sight seeing tomorrow, and stop by the police headquarters to check in." Bess's face lighted up.

"What does Roberto look like and is like?" Nancy frowned.

"Rumor has it they parted for domestic violence." George snorted.

"Another candidate." Nancy nodded her head yawning.

"I think I'm going to take a cat nap on this flight for when we get in we can take a tour of the town a bit, for it's a wee bit early for this." They both laughed at Nancy.

"All right. I think I'll follow your lead and sleep as well." They all leaned back their heads against the seat and to sleep land they went. Nancy could only thinking of one thing, the different possibilities in this case. She just hoped she wouldn't let down the FBI. This was a test she figured for them to see if she was worth keeping.

Frank rolled out of bed hitting his alarm clock. It read 8:31 am. He was suppose to meet Joe Hardy for a meeting with this girl at nine o'clock. He hit the snooze button about ten times already. He didn't want to do this case and he didn't want to be involved. He was over his detective days and this was just a phase that Joe was in. He hoped Joe would realize that this looking for evidence wasn't worth the effort. They needed to let the FBI handle the case, for they could solve it.

"Ring" His cell phone rang. He leaned over and looked at the caller id. The id read Joe Hardy with his number. Frank decided not to pick up. He didn't feel like picking up the phone at all.

"Joe Hardy, I'm not in the mood." The phone was ringing again with his brother's id on the screen. Frank grumbled and flipped it over. He answered with a grumbled hello.

"You sound perky. I'm surprised you aren't here yet. This is a big case bro, and you are acting like an ass lately." Frank grumbled under his breath a responds. His brother was reaping into him.

"I don't want part of this case Joe. Leave me out." He hung up. That was all he said and all he would say. He moved on with his career and doing investigations only made his life worse.

Joe looked at his cell phone surprised as hell. Frank didn't want part? What the hell? He thought to himself. Why was Frank acting so assholeish? He was at the Starbucks waiting to discuss the case but he had no one. He had his notes but no one to go over the notes with. He just would have to solve this mystery by him self and maybe Frank will get over it. He had a lot to do and a lot of questions and now that Frank would not be there, he would need to come up with questions for himself that Frank would normally think of. He hoped this friend would give him insight into Tad's personality and the rest of the case will bring into focus the problem, three women are left dead and there are three possible suspects. Joe hadn't even interviewed the suspects nor does he have access to them yet. He needed the ok from the FBI and hopefully he will get the OK.

"Dumb ass won't be here." He murmured to himself and started writing down questions.
