His Worst Nightmare
Chapter 24.
Greenpoint Brooklynn.
Alex and Bobby were just finishing their breakfast when they got a call from their Captain.
Fifty minutes later found them on the scene of a gruesome murder. Detective Jeffries had run the tags on the Escalade they found on the scene and it belonged to Vincenzo Massuci a club owner that Jeffries was investigating. Vincenzo was also a high ranking member of the Massuci mob, with whom they had many a run in with.
Bobby walked over to the Industrial wood shredder and winced when he saw the remains of what had been a human being, now only the DNA would be able to tell them if it was Vincenzo. He spoke to the CSU tech and was told that no prints had been found, and only one partial shoe print which belonged to a pair of sneakers. Goren asked him to inform him of the manufacturer of the sneaker. They had gathered all the information they could at the scene and now had to wait till CSU had finished gathering evidence from the Escalade, they returned to One Police Plaza.
Captains Office MCS
Joseph Hannah ran his fingers through his hair and loosened his tie, he had sat for most of the morning in the office of the Chief of Detective's. As soon as the DNA of the victim had been confirmed as that of Vincenzo, they had been joined by members of the OCCB and the Massuci's lawyers who were crying for blood.
OCCB were battening down the hatches and preparing for a huge mob war on the streets of New York, only evidence they had was that of a Nike sneaker on the crime scene and that the victim's tox screen showed high levels of Etorphine, which was a tranquilizer used to sedate large animals. Mr Massuci had been murdered and his family was calling for justice. As he predicted they weren't forthcoming with any information as to potential suspects. He once again empathized the consequences of self justice to the family's lawyers and promised them that their best Detectives would be working the case.
Which was why Goren and Eames had briefed Hannah on their progress. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack though as they had many enemies and motives and very little evidence to go by and not a single witness.
One thing puzzled Goren though and that was the traces of Etorphine, so he ran a check through the International database on homicides which involved its use. His search came back with one hit. A case that went back 5 years ago and was attributed to the 'Bay Harbor butcher' in Miami. Divers had found sacks containing dismembered bodies that had been tranquilized with Etorphine as Massuci was. According to the records though the killer had been killed , a police Sargent from Miami Metro Homicide named Doakes.
Goren looked up from the monitor and looked over to the conference room where Dexter Morgan sat and when their eyes met Goren could feel a shiver run down his spine.
ADA Ron Carver strode into the bullpen they still had to work on the Wallace case. He had received a call from the prison it would seem that Wallace had spoken with her cell mate about her kidnapping and raping Detective Goren and that she was willing to be a witness in his trial. Her lawyer had presented him with her conditions on taking the stand in Goren's favor. He had made arrangements for her to be placed in protective custody in prison.
He also had the ultrasound results of Wallace's baby, so he motioned for the two Detectives to join him in Interrogation 1.
Bobby had been dreading this moment, he took the picture that Carver handed to him. This picture made the whole nightmare real. He looked at the picture of the little girl that Nicole was carrying, their child.
He had never wanted to have kids of his own, due to the Russian roulette that they would face with the Schizophrenia and also the fact of his discovery as to who his real father was.
This little girl in this picture aroused feelings in him that he couldn't deny. She had already captured his heart and he would do anything it took to ensure she grew up safe and loved.
Ron Carver smiled as he watched Detective Goren looking at the ultrasound picture of his daughter, he had two children of his own and knew how it felt to see them for the first time. Even if the circumstances of this child's conception was a felony.
He removed a document from his folder and told him of their new witness, he saw Goren's back stiffen when he mentioned her name he had expected it though. Nelda was demanding a transfer to a facility that offered better psychological therapy and a chance to make parole after 10 years served. He told Goren that she had been a model inmate during her incarceration. He had also negotiated that she would stand eligible for parole after 15 years and that she had accepted.
Alex watched her partner as the emotions washed over his expressive face and watched him trace his finger over the picture of the baby, she had spoken in lengths with Bobby about the baby and he had told her that he was petrified of screwing things up for the baby as he had never had a good role model of a father himself.
She, however, knew that this little girl would grow up loved and protected. She had no doubts whatsoever!
Bobby would make a perfect father. She was OK with the fact that she would raise this little girl with Bobby, she was now at an age where pregnancy would be too high a risk for her own baby. She thought briefly about Wallace, she knew how it felt to give up a baby after the birth, there was no other option as Wallace would kill it as she had her own little daughter all those years ago. When Ron Carver stood up and left the room she took a hold of Bobby's hand and for once she didn't care where they were, she pulled him down to her and kissed him,investing everything she felt for him in the kiss. A few minutes later they joined Carver in the conference room with Dexter Morgan.
