Nick is working in one of the labs. Looking at Stasia Kingsten's belongings. When he picks up he eye glasses he see's smudges on the glass. He dusts them and lifts the prints. He than does tah same with her watch. After printing the watch he notice that the notch is out. He looks at the face and the arms aren't moving and the it read nine o' nine.

Catherine and Nick walk into the morgue and walks over to their victim which doc Robbins is working on.

"So any news on what happened?" asked Catherine coming up to where Doc Robbins was standing over the body of Stasia Kingsten.

"Your victim Stasia Kingsten only had one inflecting wound to the forehead. It's kind of in a crescent moon shape," replied Robbins.

"So it couldn't have been the bars that help support the bleachers?" asked Nick in a clarifying question.

"No that is a straight edge, but your victim was recently hydrated before she was killed. I have a question for you guys." said Robbins.

"What is it?" asked Catherine

"What time did this assembly start about?"

"Principal Collin said they go to the assembly at nine o' two, but the assembly usually starts at nine ten," replied Nick.

"Then you should know she was probably not killed during as you know and I doubt she was she killed after the assembly although it could be possible."

"Are you saying she was most likely killed before!" said Catherine in disbelief.

Robbins just nods his head.

"I think Robbins is right Cath. While I was dusting Kingsten's watch for possible prints I saw that the notch was pulled out. The watch was stuck on nine o' nine. The time frozen on the watch could a link to this case.

"Come on Nick we have to get to that school and ask Principal Collin some more questions," said Catherine as she nodded her thanks to Robbins and she and Nick exited the morgue and Nick stops in the hallway just outside the morgue.

"A drinking fountain," he said.

Catherine stops at these words, "What?" she asked.

"A crescent moon like shape the head of a drinking fountain." explains Nick.

"You're right. Call Warrick he's still at the scene. You and me are going to talk to the principal."

"Mrs. Collin we'd like to ask you a few more questions if that' s alright?"asked Catherine who was standing outside of the principal's office with Nick.

"Yes of course lets step into my office," replied Collin ushering them in.

"Mrs. Collin during the assembly does a specific group sit up in the upper gym?" asked Nick taking a seat in a chair in front of Collin's desk. Catherine doing the same with a chair next to Nick.

"Yes, most of the time only the freshmen sit up there then sometimes mixed people sit up there, but that day it was only the freshman," replied Collin.

Warrick walks in as Collin is speaking and waits till she finishes. "The drinking fountain was positive for blood. If it is Stasia Kingtens it will prove your drinking fountain theory Nick,"

"You think the weapon that killed Stasia was a drinking fountain?" asked Collin stunned.

"Can you think of anything else that would leave a crescent like wound?" asked Nick.

"Well no," said Collin.

"Mrs. Collin we are going to need the fingerprints of all the freshman at the school," said Catherine.

"Why?" asked Collin

"On Stasia Kingsten's glasses were set of unidentified fingerprints," said Warrick having been informed by his coworkers earlier.

"And on her watch which we believe someone or something pulled the notch out stopping the time. There were two sets of prints on the watch and one of matching the ones on the glasses the others were old ones from Stasia Kingsten," said Nick

"If the freshmen were the only ones up there. Then it was most likely one of them," explained Catherine.

"Alright, but only the freshmen and if any them say no then let them go. We don't have the students prints for this school yet. I've been pushing it. Looks like the school district will lean my way now. It looks like you're in luck all the freshman are here today and that doesn't happen very often," she said hesitantly.

"Thanks for reminding me. Could you print out the list of freshmen who were absent and present on the assembly day. It's just so we know who more likely did this." said Nick.

"Sure."

"Thank you," replied Catherine.

----------

Nick and Catherine went to take the fingerprints of the freshmen and Warrick went to the lab.

"So why are you guys only fingerprinting us freshmen. I mean why would one freshmen kill another?" asked a teenage girl with dark brown hair.

"Well there could be a lot of reasons and only the freshmen were in the upper gym so right now we are zeroing in on you guys. May I ask if you knew Stasia and if so how?" Catherine asked

"We were friends."

"Miss..."

"Oh I'm Tabitha Winfree. You can call me Tabitha,"

"Tabitha do you know if Taylor had a boyfriend?" asked Cahterine.

"No, but she did have a crush on Nathan. Oh what's his last name... Fontaine that's it Nathan Fontaine." said Tabatha

"May I please have your name and if would corporate and give us your prints and answer a few questions." said Nick to a teenager with mouse brown hair.

"Nathan Fontaine. What would you like to ask?" said Nathan trying to stay calm but Nick could tell he was extremely upset.

"Did you know Stasia Kingsten?"

There was a moments pause from Nathan.

"She's ... was my girlfriend and I couldn't even stop someone from killing her. Because I was busy talking with other friends." Nathan said with sadness in his voice.

"Did anyone know about your relationship with Miss. Kingsten?" asked Nick.

"Umm... my friends and I know Tabatha Winfree knew because her and Stasia were best friends."

Tears start to come down Nathan's face and he wipes them away.

"Thank you Mr. Fontaine I have no further questions," finished Nick.

Nick and Catherine continue to finger print the freshmen for another hour.

Nick and Catherine are walking down the hall of the crime lab discussing the information when they run into Warrick coming in the opposite direction. "The results on the blood found at the scene is a match to Stasia Kingstens looks like you were right Nick," said Warrick.

"Well that's good. We now know what caused the wound that killed," said Catherine.

"But we have a lot of suspects," said Warrick

"And the answer lies within the prints," said Nick holding up a stack of the freshmen's fingerprints.
