A/N: I'm sorry for the long wait in this chapter, but it will definitely not be as long until the next one (probably within the next couple of days). Also as some might have noticed, my pen name has changed to eddie-angel.

Chapter Six: Jane and John Doe

"See this," said Dr. Evans, sliding a photograph of a skeletal pelvis across her desk, "this is the pubic symphysis, where the left pubis meets the right pubis, is great for helping with age. This one," she said pointing at the photograph, "is corrugated, or uh, bumpy which indicated that she was in her late teens."

"That alone wouldn't be of much use because it still leaves us with too large of an age gap." She looked up from the papers on her desk and continued, "Your Jane Doe had a full set of teeth minus the third molar, or wisdom teeth, and therefore I can estimate she was 17 or 18 years old when she died. Now your John Doe also had a full set of teeth, which will make ID a good possibility. I've concluded that he was around 20 years old when he died."

'Do you know how long they've been down there?" Asked Scotty.

"Judging by the temperature down there and the degree of decomposition I'd stay they've been down there around 25 years."

"Cause of death?" Asked Lilly.

"Jane Doe suffered multiple stab wounds to the torso. John Doe however had his throat slit, the wound deep enough to cut the bone. Not sure yet whether the same weapon was used on both bodies but I'll be sure to call you when I get that information back."

"Okay well thanks a lot Dr. Evans," said Scotty standing up and taking the copied files she handed to him.

"No problem and please it's Chelsea," she said smiling at him, "it was a pleasure to meet you Detective Rush."

Lilly simply before turning around and following her partner out the door.

Back at the station, Lilly and Scotty shared their findings at the morgue with Vera and Jeffries.

"How'd you guys go down with CSU?" Asked Scotty.

"Well they didn't turn up all that much," said Jeffries looking over his notes; "there was old blood spatter on one of the wall, which seems consistent with John Doe's throat being slit."

"No sign of the murder weapon?" Asked Lilly.

"No. But they did find this with one of the bodies," said Vera, sliding a photograph of a bracelet across the table. "What d'ya think Lil', it looks pretty unique?"

"What makes you think I know anything about jewellery?" She said, the slight smile on her face contradicting the annoyance in her voice.

"Well you've got your ear pierced, that's more than any of the rest of us," said Vera.

Lilly rolled her eyes at him before picking up the picture and studying in closer. It had round semi-circle stones set in gold, linked together with swirled gold S's.

"The stones look like they are some type of moonstone, set in gold. Probably worth between $1000 and $4000."

Nick Vera opened his mouth to respond, but before he could they were interrupted.

"Alright, where are we with these cases? What did you find out at the morgue?" Said Stillman looking at Lilly and Scotty.

"Well both corpses had been down there for around twenty-five years and they confirmed one male and one female," Scotty informed him.

"Jane Doe suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest, John Doe had his throat slit," she said handing him the photographs that proved her statement.

"Any news about the body upstairs? We still have to prove that that somehow isn't connected with the bodies in the basement," Stillman said.

"The ME hasn't finished with that yet. Actually, I'm not sure whether he, or anyone in his office has started their examination. They're being held up a bit by that big traffic accident down town, they've got a body count of twelve so far."

"Right then for now we'll just deal with what we've got."

" What about you two," he said directing his gaze to Vera and Jeffries.

They relayed to him what they had just told Lilly and Scotty.

"So in the morning, we are gonna go visit an antique dealer I know," said Vera.

Lilly snorted with laughter, "You know an antique dealer?"

"You been holding out onus Vera? I never took you for the antique type," said Scotty grinning profusely.

"Not another secretive hobby" said Jeffries with a sigh.

"Uh, am I missing something here?" Scotty asked, looking confused and intrigued at the same time.

"Maybe another time Scotty," Lilly said flipping shut the folder in front of her and looking at her watch. "Well I've got someplace to be," she said standing up and picking her bag up from the floor.

"Who is he?" Asked Vera. "Not another ADA Lil', they're nothing but trouble."

"Since when are you concerned with who I date," she exclaimed, yet again unable to keep the smile off her face.

"Since you seem to have such appalling taste in men."

Lilly and Scotty's eyes met for a second and she briefly smiled at him, a smile that seemed to go unnoticed by everyone else.

"I don't have the time to justify my dates to you Vera. Maybe another time," she said with a smirk. "Goodbye."

"They murmured their goodbyes and she left knowing that where she was headed was not the date the Nick had alluded to. Dr Luella, the psychiatrist, hardly fit the description of Lilly's perfect date. Definitely far from it.
