"…gunshot wound to the left chest area. There's stippling surrounding the wound, which indicates he was shot at close range." Alexx was just clicking the tape recorder off as Eric entered. He quickly pulled on a lab coat and walked up to the autopsy table. He was about to ask Alexx what her findings were, when he noticed that she had gone a very pale white. She took a step back and started to fall to the ground, in a faint. Eric quickly dashed to the other side of the table and grabbed her. Luckily, he had been close enough that he was able to grab her before she hit her head. He led her over to a chair and gently placed his hands on her shoulders, as she sat down. Fortunately, the colour was returning to her face.

"What happened?" Eric asked, concern showing on his face.

It took her a little while to answer, but when she did, all she was able to stammer was, "Tim."

It was only then that Eric noticed that Dante Walker had died the same as Speed had. Eric turned his head back to Alexx as she started to say something.

"I saw Tim." She saw Eric's face and mistook his look of bewilderment for a look of confusion. "Instead of Dante Walker on that table, I saw Timmy."

Eric nodded his head to show that he understood. "Alexx, I think you should go home," Eric told her.

Alexx shook her head and all she said was, "No."

Eric left it at that. He knew that once she had made up her mind, it was damn near impossible to get her to change it.

Alexx got up and slowly made her way back to the table, with Eric close behind her. "I found something you might be interested in," Alexx told the young CSI, as though nothing had happened just minutes before, "He had a stomach ulcer, which in turn, caused him to hemorrhage."

"So, he would have died anyway," Eric said.

"Maybe so, but the poor baby didn't deserve to be murdered," replied Alexx.

Eric left the lab a minute later loaded with plenty of evidence, which included the bullet, a sticky substance from the victim's hair, skin from under his fingernails, and a strand of hair, which had also been stuck under his fingernails.
