Chapter 2

Calliegh was getting ready to fire the gun involved in the murder of Trisha Roster. She looked at the gun lying on the table in front of her, and put on her gloves, along with her safety goggles, picked up the weapon. Pointing it toward the target in front of her, she fired off three rounds. She lowered the gun and placed in back on the table, taking off her safety goggles. She walked around the Flexi-glass station and walked to the wall where her target was. She took out the tweezers from her kit, and pulled the slugs from the wall.

She then took all three bullets over to the magnifier, and took the slug Alexx pulled out of Trisha Roster's brain, and tried to match the striations. She got a big grin on her face when it came up a perfect match. She typed the serial number into the computer database. The screen flashed:

Serial Number: 3014820

Gun used in one other homicide, in 1997.

Victim: Marsha Roster

No suspects in this case. Unsolved. Cold Case.

Calliegh picked her cell phone out of her pocket, "Hey Eric, I've got something. My gun was used in another murder in 1997, a Marsha Roster."

"Why didn't we have that report before now?"

"Not sure, because I know I checked the serial number in the database, actually I had Mike do it; he said it didn't have any information in our system. I just took for granted he did it right."

"Get Ryan to check it out and see who she is, she must be somehow related to our suspect."

"Will do; let you know what he finds. Have you gotten anything yet?"

"Yeah the DNA on the gum came back to the wife and an unknown donor."

"How did that happen?"

"My guess she chewed gum after oral sex, because it was semen DNA from the male unknown."

"Oh, eww, all right have we found out who the mystery man is yet?"

"No, but we got a clue, DNA has 7 epithelia's in common with David Roster."

"A brother."

"Exactly. I'll run with this, call you when I have something."

"Okay."

Eric turned to Valera, "I have to find out how many brothers this guy has."

"He has one according to his military record," said Valera as she turned the screen where he could see it.

"Thanks Valera."

"No problem."

Horatio and Ryan walked into the lab. Ryan walked over to Valera and handed her the blood evidence from the crime scene, "When you get a chance, run this for me. We have a John Doe in the morgue, maybe he's in the system."

"Well if he is we'll find him, let me run it real quick."

"Mr. Wolf, come join me in my office, Delko find Calliegh and join us please."

"What's this about?"

"Just do it, I'll explain when you get there," said Horatio as he left the lab followed by Ryan.

Calliegh and Eric walked into Horatio's office, "What's up H?" asked Delko.

"I understand you evidence got tossed at trial this morning."

"Yeah, but we got some promising leads, we can still nail this guy."

"Delko's right…"

"Wolf, please tell them what you told me," said Horatio.

"I hate this… I looked over the evidence you gave me this morning Delko. I think your guy might be innocent."

"What the..."

"Wait, hear me out! I'm not trying to step on your toes, but your evidence, the way it stands right now, does not say he did it."

"Ryan, he guilty, I know he is!"

"But the evidence…"

"What evidence Ryan? What evidence?"

"DNA puts another person in the bedroom with Mrs. Roster."

"We know, there is a mystery semen sample, but the husband admits knowing about an affair."

"There are actually two mystery DNA samples, one from the gum you lifted from the Vic's mouth. The other was in the bathroom; Calliegh collected it off the toilet rim."

"I thought it was the same guy," said Calliegh.

"Right, you two assumed it was the same, but Valera didn't get around to checking it until this morning. Once her DNA got tossed, she came back, went through the evidence again, and found it. Apparently it got laid aside and forgotten."

"If the defense fines out about this before we get more evidence, we're screwed."

"They will move for a dismissal of all charges and we can't touch him after that, unless we have solid evidence. We need to find more evidence and fast," said Calliegh, "because he's about to be found innocent and we know he isn't."

There was sound coming from the door, "Sorry to interrupt, but I thought you would want to know," said Valera. "Eric, I found your mystery sperm donor, well one of them."

"Great, where is he?"

"In the morgue, the victim in Horatio's case is your guy."

"What happened to him?" asked Calliegh.

"He was stabbed to death," said Horatio, "we need to connect the two crimes and we'll have our guy. But if Mr. Roster is innocent, you two have to let this go."

"He's not innocent H."

"Prove it."
