Chapter 5
After hurrying to the DNA lab, Ryan made a phone call to an old friend, one who worked at another lab and knew about what laid beyond the humans. Getting the okay he pocketed the other swab he had taken at the crime scene. 'Let's just hope nobody saw that.' A quick swivel of the head answered the question for the paranoid man. Having nothing else to do he wandered off to help Calleigh with her case.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric was about to enter the A/V lab when he saw Ryan pocket something. 'That is weird.' Nothing about the man was normal today. At least since the message was completely translated. The other CSI's and even Alex tried to work out guesses to what could possibly be going on, but came up blank. Maybe Ryan knew something, from the way he was acting Eric was almost positive, which would mean they wouldn't find out unless need be.
'And I would be the last to learn, if I learn it from Ryan himself.' With that final thought he went to the world of tapes and nameless faces. "Hey Cooper." The A/V tech looked up from his spot at a computer. "I come bearing a tape to watch." He shook his head, extending an arm out for the tape. Eric took the empty seat next to him, placing the tape in the proffered hand.
"What have we got here?" The blonde tech asked, popping the tape into an area Eric couldn't see.
"A security video, taken from across the street of the murder victim." The tech nodded, pressing some buttons. On the computer screen in front of the pair the picture of a road and cars. In the corner the time said eleven thirty am.
"Can we skip to after midnight?" Eric did not want to sit through the whole day, if he didn't have to. Cooper nodded, pressing a button. The screen fast forwarded, cars and people walked past until it slowed to nothing. "That's good."
The two sat and watched. The hours went by without incident, until it came to about one in the morning. A woman was leaving, closing up her shop. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until, a hooded figure walked out of an alleyway. He walked over to the woman, who fell down onto the ground. When he removed his hood, Eric asked him to stop the tape. "Can you stop the tape?"
"Yeah." The tape stopped.
"Enhance the figure." The tech did what he was told, clicking on the figure and zooming in onto it. "What the hell?" He muttered for both Eric and anyone who saw it. On the screen was a man with dark blue hair with artic blue highlights, not that unusual nowadays, but artic blue fox ears? That was something new, for both Eric and the tech.
"Can you print that out?" The other nodded, pressed a button, and zoomed back out. "Continue the tape." The tape resumed. Nothing happened, as the woman fell to her, weeping, until another figure came out of the alleyway. Pulled out a knife on the fox eared man, who retreated. "What the fuck is that?" Eric pointed to the void behind the fox eared man.
"No idea." They resumed the tape, while Ryan walked in. One look at the screen made him resist the urge to throw up the little lunch he had. The man that was now on the screen slit the woman's throat and wrote the text on the wall. No audio, for that Ryan thanked whoever resided above the clouds.
"Hey guys, find anything useful on the tape?" Eric whirled around, giving himself a slight case of whiplash. "I'm sorry." Ryan apologized, not wanting any arguments to break out.
"It's okay." Eric ran a hand through his hair. "There is something that is interesting though, this guy." He held up the picture of the fox eared man. "This guy looks suspicious. He has fox ears. I believe they are fake." Ryan nodded, not trusting his voice. 'If only that was true.' "Well, did the DNA results come back yet?"
"No." Eric raised a brow. Ryan held his hands up. "I was just going to get them, want to tag along?" It was a bad idea from the start, but Eric nodded his head, yes. "Okay then." They both left, leaving Cooper to review the tape for anything else that might call for their attention.
On the trip to the DNA lab, Eric tried to question Ryan. Something in his gut told him that he man before him knew more than he was letting on. "Have you ever seen anything like that before?"
Ryan just nodded, no. He didn't want the other man to know that he was involved with things like that. He had tried to escape that world and the crazy ways of it, but alas it always came back to haunt him. And now having a talk with his old Aunt Marge about that kind of thing, that would float her boat. He sighed mentally. 'This is stress that I don't need.'
Trying a different approach, Eric tried again. "What about that prophecy thing? Do you have any idea about who they mean?" Once again he got a bobble head response. Time was growing thin. The last desperate attempt. "How…"
"Delko, please stop." He rubbed his head, sighing mentally. The Cuban took the hint and backed off, for now. "Thank you." They entered the DNA lab side by side, making Boa Vista look up.
"Hello you two, I have your DNA samples." The woman walked over to a piece of paper, white lab coat swaying. Eric looked over at Ryan, who looking down, biting his lower lip nervously. "One of the blood samples matched the victim, but the other wasn't a match to anyone. In fact its not like anything I've ever seen before." Bringing the paper over, Boa Vista pointed to a specific area. "This is something not in any human, or animal I have ever seen."
"Thanks." Ryan walked out, leaving Eric and the tech behind him. 'So he was really a demon.'
Hahahaha. That gave me a good laugh. The voice from before stated, mentally. Scared, Ryan jumped, making a beeline for an empty room. Which happened to be the locker room.
'That scared the hell out of me.'
I'm sorry. My old age has made me forget that you are not used to this type of communication, yet. If your wondering who I am, I suggest you talk to your Aunt Marge, soon. Time is of the essence.
'Okay.' The voice didn't respond back, leaving Ryan on the locker room bench alone. His phone rang merrily in his pocket, pulling it out, he picked up. "Wolfe."
"Its Delko we have a hit on a fingerprint of the one of the men at the crime scene. Come to the lab.""Okay." He hung up, wondering which person they found. 'Most likely the vampire.' The type of vampire that could only walk at night was someone that was turned, meaning they most likely had their fingerprints on file. It was a start, though not a big one. When he arrived at the lab room, Eric was leaning on the table, Calleigh next to him, Horatio after that, all with solemn faces.
"This can't be possible." Calleigh's voice carried out into the hallway.
"What can't be possible?" She along with Eric jumped at the CSI's entrance. Horatio just turned, sunglasses on.
"Mr. Wolfe, the person at the crime scene turned up fingerprints." Ryan nodded, he already knew that. "Well according to this, the man died over two years ago." A light bulb went off in the brunette's head, his theory was correct. "That cannot be possible, it also says that you were at the crime scene, guarding it."
Ryan leaned in to get a closer look at the picture. The man trigged a memory, yes Ryan had seen him. He had been found by the a woman going to work in an alleyway, puncture wounds on his neck, and almost completely drained of blood. At the time he thought nothing of it the death was named murder, and never solved. The body was eventually released to the sister, with red hair… It couldn't be! "I remember, the coroner ruled murder, but no one was ever suspected. The body was released to his sister, who had the body buried." It made sense now, the woman who killed that innocent child was the same person the police let walk away with the body of another supernatural killer.
"Would you happen to know where, Mr. Wolfe?" Horatio pulled his glasses of his nose, placing them in his pocket. His blue hues staring intensely at Ryan.
"She said the local cemetery. I'm assuming one by her house."
"Thanks Ryan. You don't know how much that helps." Horatio nodded and left. Calleigh followed soon after, leaving Eric and Ryan alone again. It was getting ridiculous. 'It's almost at if, they want us together.' Ryan shook his head at the thought, fate was just being a bitch today.
"Alone again." Eric picked up on the fact that being together alone seemed to be common. Ryan nodded slowly. "Well we should see if Trip can get us that cemetery."
A/N: Review plz. I plan on posting the next chapter soon!
