Chapter Three:
Flynn looked at Lindsey then at Grissom. "Lindsey inform Black that I am holding a meeting. Grissom can you please gather your team," she gathered all the photos and left the room. Lindsey looked at Grissom shrugged then left. He stood there for a moment then went to gather his team. "Greg, Nick meeting room Agent Flynn is holding a meeting," he said into the break room. Walking down the hall he meet up with Warrick who was talking to Sara. "Hey, Warrick meeting room. Agent Flynn is holding a meeting lets go."
The CSIs were the first to get into the meeting room. Sara joined even though she shouldn't be there. 'Not like I'm working the case just watching,' she thought. "Anyone think this Agent Flynn is a little … odd."
"Sara you just don't like her," Greg said smiling. "You saw how everyone listened to her and it makes you jealous."
"Does not," She snapped. "It's just … well … she seems … how did she know all our names? How does she know her way around this building?"
"Well she does work with the government," Grissom said. "It is possible she has done her research. There last victim was found in the Vegas area. It is possible she was going to stop by anyways."
"And why are you defending her," Sara snapped at him.
"There is nothing to defend. I'm just looking at this differently then you are."
"You look at everything differently then I do," she snapped finally getting fed up with his recent behavior. "What the hell is your problem anyways?"
"I have no problem Sara it is you who has the problem." Nick, Warrick, and Greg all took a step back.
"How do I have the problem," she crossed her arms and glared at him.
"Easy you have to find out how to tell me you are pregnant," he shrugged. "You know I would know that the child is not mine seeing how we aren't sexually active. Oh and congratulations Nick."
"Um …" Nick looked at Sara shocked.
"You … you knew?"
"You left the test in the bathroom trash can. Oh and there are divorce papers on my desk for you to sign when you are ready to sign them," at that moment Agent Flynn and five other agents entered. "Where is the rest of your … team?"
"Scattered around the country working on what they have there. I get updates every five hours," she informed. She handed them papers. Each read the paper quickly to themselves.

"Victim fifteen was different from all the others," she put out a picture of each victim's face. All the photos had bruises and cuts, one more then others, but the last photo had none what so ever. "The same with Victim seven."
"Wait … hold on," Sara said. "Can you give us some information on each of the victims? Like time of death and all that? There background information."
"One you're not supposed to be here and I'm allowing you to be here so shut your trap," Flynn ordered the other Agents stifled their laughter. "Boys you better stop laughing because it wasn't meant to be funny."
"Yes ma'am," they all said at the same time, excluding Black who just smiled.
"First victim," she said pointing to the first photo. "Was a … prostitute here in Vegas. She as found up in Maine."
"Yes I remember that case," Grissom says. "Days worked it. Ecklie wanted me off the case so he handed it over to them."
"Oh yeah he said you were biased," Warrick said rolling his eyes. "Said due to your relationship with an ex-stripper you couldn't work the case."
"Anyways," Grissom said sternly. "They found nothing what so ever."
"FBI contacted the Sheriff here and had the file sent over," Flynn informed. "She was a single mother to a seven month old baby."
"Oh yeah," Black said. "You got yelled at for punching the father out."
"He was drunk and high and wanted to take the baby for a ride to a strip club," She snapped. "It was the least I could do. Baby is now in foster care until its Grandmother could prepare her house for the baby."
"Still shouldn't have smacked him."
"He reminded me of …"
"Mom," Lindsey said after a long pause. Everybody turned and saw her in the back of the room. "Your forgetting the fact that she … well she knew you."
"For short time and no I'm not forgetting that Linds."
"You never mentioned that," Black said. "What else are you hiding from us?"
"I worked a case once and she was the … supposed victim," she informed. "Linds stop talking and just listen. Victim two was a college student went missing from Maine and found in Washington. She had no family what so ever. Victim three was a police officer from Washington that was found in Virginia."
"Wait this guy takes someone from one side of the country then some how transports their body all the way across the country without anyone noticing. How," Warrick said. "I'm sorry but he keeps them for a month. Beats, rapes, kills them, and then no one notices him take a body from one state to another through many other states. What are people blinded."
"Its kind of hard to spot a body on a plane," she informed. "We know he is using a plane to transport each body. The problem is we can't find the owner of the plane or the plane itself."
"So it is a personal jet plane he is using to transport the victim back to his holding spot from where they live then to the other side of the country when he is done. What after that he picks someone up from that spot and takes off," Nick said shocked. "Why not just find all the personal jets in the country and see who lets you search them."
"That would take many agents and lots of money plus it's rather stupid. While doing that you let him grab other victims," she sighed. "In fact he may have someone right now."
"I don't think so mom. He has completely ruined his pattern. Something is troubling him."
"And we must find out what," Flynn replied. "Look all the victims were basically the same. They were either prostitutes, college students, or in law enforcement. We even lost one of our own agents to this guy. If any were a parent they were single mothers of one or two."
"Seems rather familiar," Black said. "You are exactly like the victims Cath. Why aren't you dead? He knows you're on this case so why not go after you?"
"Because he knows she is looking for him," Lindsey said shrugging off the odd looks they gave her. "Look I'm taking criminal psychology and this is how I'm learning so stop acting like I'm some weird person. Anyways he likes to take someone who isn't looking for them. He lures them some how. Going after mom would be rather stupid," she spoke as Flynn watched Ecklie pause in the hallway. "It would be hard to go up to her and pull a line when she is out looking for him right?"
"Yes but his pattern is changing he might go after her," Black said.
"If he does I'll be prepared," Flynn said looking over at Grissom who too had been watching Ecklie, who had sprinted off. Sara rolled her eyes when Grissom looked at Flynn then quickly looked away. Black too noticed it. "Anyways victim seven was different because she was a secretary at a law firm and her hair had been dyed. Her daughter was victim five who was in the process of getting a divorce. But victim seven was beaten more then the other victims and killed even worse."
"Why is that," Greg asked. "What was special about her?"
"Everything about her was different. I think it has something to do with that name."
"Catherine … Willows," Nick looked up from the paper in his hand.
"Oh my," Sara said looking at Grissom who was looking at the paper.
"The message on the answering machine," Grissom said looking at Flynn. All eyes went to either of the two as no one had heard about it yet. "We could have Archie work on it. Pick up any background noise."
"Yeah … that might help," she nodded. "I already collected the tape. But we have other evidence to worry about."
"How's this victim different from the others," One of the Agents asked.
"She died of lacerations to the wrists and neck. The others died by cocaine over dosed. She wasn't beaten and wasn't raped. She fought back; I suspect the others were restrain so they couldn't. And she was killed in one night unlike the others who were held for an entire month and then killed."
"Why cocaine," Greg asked. "Normally serials do everything for a reason."
"Haven't found that out yet. Greg you processed the victims clothes right?"
"Yeah we found only her blood on it and a single white envelope that is being printed right now. Nothing else really."
"Alright, Nick what had you taken?"
"I was working on the two instruments you found in that hidden compartment. I lifted a print from each. Didn't the girl say he had gloves?"
"Yes but it is possible the gloves constricted his ability to use them," Grissom said. "Depending on what types of gloves he hand then we can't be positive if his hands could actually hold and use the instruments."
"Okay well I found some fluid within the syringe came back cocaine."
"I expected that," Flynn said. "What about the ink he used to tattoo the little girl?"
"It isn't a permanent tattoo so she could easily wash it off," he informed. "Warrick found some shoe prints in the backyard."
"They are perfect for comparison. Who ever owns them is walking around with shoes that have CE carved into the soles of both shoes. And there size eleven."
"That's good to know," she sighed. "What about scraping from the victims nails? Anyone know if they have a result yet."
"Not yet Mia just got to processing it," Sara said. "She was backed up from days."
"Okay," looking around the room she studied everyone. Her team looked tired while the other team was wide awake. "Alright Agents go back to the hotel and get some rest. You've been up for thirty hours working this case. Is the two kids' mother here yet?"
"Yeah she is waiting with them in interrogation room B," Brass informed entering right then. "Grissom Nancy wants to speak with you when there done being question. Says it's important."
"I'll speak with her in my office," he stood and grabbed a copy of the main file. "I'm just going to go through everything to be up to date with it."
"Good luck. We got no evidence," Flynn said going to leave the room.
"Mom … could … could I come to?"
"No go watch Alex," she ordered. Lindsey pouted and left the room. The Agents left the lab to get some sleep while the CSIs went into the break room to review the case information. Sara followed Agent Flynn straight to the interrogation room. 'Easily found it,' she thought entering the observation room.
"I'm Agent Catherine Flynn," Flynn informed and Nancy's eyes widened. Jeremy just stared at her while the little girl looked at the ground.
"Are we in trouble," Mary whispered.
"No sweetie you're not in trouble," Flynn said softly. "I just want to ask you what you remember from tonight. Why were you going to that house?"
"Mom had to go to work and since our Aunt so kindly left without even a good bye we had to go to her house. I found the body. Mary found Becka," Jeremy informed. "No one answered the door so we entered with the key she gave us. We saw the place was a mess so I told Mary to stay where she was. Of course the twerp didn't listen but hey she found Becka."
"Don't speak of your sister like that nor you're Aunt. She left get over it," Nancy said eyeing Flynn. Sara was surprised to see that Flynn actually winced slightly at the words being aimed towards Catherine. "Look ma'am I had to work so I dropped them off and speed off. Andrea knew they were coming over so I thought it was no big deal."
"Mary," Flynn said to the little girl. "Why did you disobey your brother?"
"I heard a noise from the kitchen. Well I thought it was the kitchen at first. But it sounded like Becka and I knew where she sometimes would hide when her mom's boyfriend would come by. He wasn't really nice but she looked at me with a different kind of fear in her eyes then the one she has when he comes around."
"Did you touch anything in the process?"
"No," she smiled. "Mommy told me about our Aunt, she was a CSI here. She told me how you aren't supposed to touch anything when finding a crime scene. I heard my brother yell for me to call 911 so I did touch the phone."
"Do you remember if there was a message on the answering machine?" She asked urgently.
"The light wasn't blinking so I don't think so."
"Thanks," she wrote something down and a sheet of paper. Standing she smiled. "That's all I have to ask for right now," handing them a card she smiled. "If you remember anything that you haven't told me please call that number."
"Ma'am I have a question," Nancy tilted her head. "What is your mother's name?"
"I have to get back to work," she left without answering. Sara stopped her in the hallway.
"How come you didn't answer the question?"
"Because I have a serial killer on the loose and I wish to catch him," she snapped walking around her.
Entering the office she was currently using she walked over to Alex. He was awake and sitting up upon seeing his mom he smiled happily. "Mommy where are we?"
"We're at the crime lab."
"Can I see daddy?"
"No sweetie you can't."
"But you said he works here," he pouted. "Why can't I see daddy?"
"Because … because he doesn't even know that it's me."
