A/N: Cont. from the previous chapter into this case. Grissom finally gets to see what the new CSI from Miami brings to the team and the team get their guy.
- CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION -
When Ryan arrived at the A/V lab, he joined Archie as he was watching CCTV footage. "Found it yet?" "I found the crash site though and I can assure you, it was a red Lamborghini as you said. I zoomed in on it and saw the white smear on the side." Wolfe smiled, happy with the news he'd received from the lab tech. "Got a number plate for me, Arch?"
"You bet." He said, handing the young CSI a piece of paper with the plate number and the registered owner.
Wolfe smiled and patted his shoulder, taking the paper. "Thanks!" He phoned Brass and gave him the details of the car so he could put out a BOLO. It looked like little lead he found had been a big help after all.
"Yo! Wolfe! Heard you found a lead?" Nick said as he got out the Department Issued SUV to assess the car he was examining as the owner was being held by LVPD patrol officers, ranting and raving about how unfair this is. Wolfe nodded, crouching down to take a look at the door. "There's white paint transfer on the door. This is the car that crashed into our vic's."
The young CSI stood up and walked over to Brass who was standing beside the driver. "We're going to need to take your car." "What?! You can't do that?!" The man exclaimed angrily. Ryan pursed his lips, and then pointed to the door. "You see that? That's the paint from a car that a man was found dead in earlier today, which makes you a suspect and your car part of a crime scene. So, yes I can."
Brass told Patrol to take the man in to PD. He was quite taken back by the quiet CSI's response. Nick called for the car to be towed back to the lab, and the Captain caught up with the younger man as he was walking back to the car with Nick. "Which one of you is going to interrogate this guy with me?"
Stokes and Wolfe stared at one another for a while, before Nick said something. "I think we should let Wolfe do it, this is a lead he found." Ryan sighed. "Ok." Brass nodded to the two, getting back into his own car and making his way back to LVPD.
CSI Wolfe and Captain Brass entered the interrogation room, Ryan holding a folder with all the photos relevant to linking the driver to the accident. The two men sat down opposite the guy with stone cold looks on their faces that didn't give anything away. "Why am I here?" The guy was still furious about being arrested, as it evidently showed.
"You're here because you killed this guy." The CSI placed the picture of the deceased's autopsy picture on the table.
He pulled the photo closer and took a look at the victim in the photo. "Don't know him." "Well you should," Ryan placed a picture of the female victim from Grissom's case infront of him. "Because he killed your girlfriend." The man instantly began to cry. Ryan could see tears forming in his eyes as he then slammed him fist on the table. "He killed her for fun! Do I look like I'm going to let someone who took away the woman I love from me get away like that?!"
"You let us do our jobs. Taking care of it yourself is what will get you jail time." Wolfe answered nonchalantly, collecting up the photos and standing up as Brass did.
"Take him." The captain said to the patrol officers, who cuffed him and led him out of the room.
Jim then turned to Ryan. "People don't usually confess that quick. Must've been something you said.. good on ya, pal." The captain left the interrogation room, Wolfe following behind and the two went their separate ways right after.
Wolfe was glad that he'd found the killer. When someone becomes the victim, you don't treat them any less regardless of if they had a record or no record, liked or hated. Everybody deserves some kind of justice. Professionally. His theoretical ideas had proved to be what helped him solve this case. And it wasn't on purpose. He was just looking at it from all angles. As a trained investigator would.
