Hawkes frantically opened Danny's apartment door.

"Hawkes, what are you talking about?" Stella asked.

"The problem with crime scenes where the victims survive" Hawkes said as he finally opened Danny's door "is that we don't have crime scene photos of the victim."

Hawkes marched into Danny's bedroom. "Lindsay found Danny in his tub, correct? She moved him because she had to resuscitate him"

"Victim's life comes first" Stella answered.

"When Danny was found, he was naked, right?" Hawkes said.

"Just had his boxers on" Stella said. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"If this was a hit, by the Tanglewood boys or whatever, why would they bother to take off his clothes? And where are his clothes? They're not on the bathroom floor."

Hawkes walked to Danny's hamper. "These were the clothes Danny wore the last day we saw him. If this was a hit, why would they bother to throw his clothes in the hamper?"

Stella slowly realized what Hawkes is saying. "Oh God, Danny."

"But we still have a missing syringe filled with morphine" Hawkes said as he walked towards the bathroom.

As Hawkes opened the bathroom door, he saw the one piece of evidence that could further prove his disturbing theory.

The bathroom window was open.

On the alley outside of Danny's apartment, Hawkes and Stella crouched down as Hawkes picked up a bloody syringe with his gloved hand.

At the end of the syringe is a clear print with dried blood.

"If that print matches Danny's….." Hawkes started.

"You are not to tell a soul" Stella said as she reached for her cellphone.
