"Jess? What was that all about?" Nicole asked looking concerned.
"Emily didn't walk out on her own. She was in my vision and she was scared. She umm… she talked about some guy she didn't want go with him and there was blood I think she's in trouble." answered Jess still bewildered.
"Wow, that's rough. If that's what your vision says I believe it. Let's let forensics to their thing and we'll meet Antonio to do ours," Nicole kindly suggested.
The two overworked women arrived at the office where the rushed towards Antonio seeking an advance in the case.
"Okay, forensics notified me that there was sign of struggle, but do we have any other leads?" Antonio asked them
"I had a vision," Jess notified him.
"What facts does it provide us with?" he questioned.
"Well not much other than support for a kidnapping, but there was one strange thing about it" she said and then paused for a second trying to remember what was going on. "She kept saying the word 'where' in the vision with great emphasis," she continued.
"But that doesn't do us any good, is there anything else?" Antonio asked.
"Well there's that note we found in her room, Antonio can you check parks that are near the La Chance Hotel?" Nicole responded, her mind fully on this case and nothing else.
Antonio did a quick search and found results in no time. "There are three", he replied. "There's Floral National Park, Spade Park and--"
"--That's the one. We need searches on buildings in the area," Nicole so rudely interrupted. Antonio felt there was something wrong with Nicole lately but decided he'd discuss it with her later and he did what he was told.
"It's not such a busy area there is a mini-market, a candle shop, a small antique store, and an old deserted warehouse down the block but it's closed down." Antonio informed them.
"Warehouse, that must refer to the 'where' in my vision" responded Jess.
"Let's go" Nicole said.
They soon got to the old warehouse a block away from Spade Park. They were able to break down the door with ease. Inside the warehouse it was dark, dusty and stuffy. They could barely breathe but they went in anyway, after all it was their job.
"Okay, Jess we'll look on the second floor while Antonio searches down here," Nicole announced to the group in authority.
"Just replace Pollock, why don't you?" Antonio mumbled under his breath. He had had enough of Nicole's attitude.
"Excuse me? What did you just say?" Nicole responded defensively.
"Umm… uh…. Nothing, I-I'll go this way," Antonio finished and walked away into a dark hallway. Jess stared at the two puzzled.
Jess and Nicole went up the stairs looking for any trace of Emily. Once they reached the top of the stairs Nicole and Jess went their separate ways. Nicole went left while Jess went right. No one could find anything but deep down Jess knew this was the place and something was wrong. Soon after good several minutes of searching on the second floor Jess reached a hallway with a balcony; she grabbed the edge and looked down. She wasn't at all ready for what she just saw.
"Guys, come here! And Quick!" Jess screamed almost at the top of her lungs. The rest of the team just stopped and rushed toward her direction. Nicole and Antonio saw Jess frozen from afar but they didn't know why. Not until they looked the looked down for themselves. There she was, Emily Diller, on the floor, bleeding, dead!
