Ryan Wolfe was standing over the body of Colette Clark, a girl he went to high school with. The dark haired girl was lying down against the wall, with the back of her head covered in blood. There was a small hole in the wall where she had hit her head, so there were some fibres in the whole with her hair and blood obviously from the impact. Ryan already knew without Alexx Woods being there, the cause of death would have been blunt force trauma, and by the position of her body, someone had pushed her against the wall. And now that everyone knew he had become a CSI, someone had called the Miami Dade police department to get his team to investigate the death of the onetime Queen Bee.

Charlie and the other guests of the reunion were kept in the auditorium and were given instructions to stay where they were until told otherwise. Charlie watched on as Horatio, Calleigh, Eric and Natalia walked past the halls door and towards the dead body, where she stood with Ryan's old friend Rick.
Wolfe looked up as the red haired lieutenant made his way over to the body with the other team members behind him
"What do we have Mr Wolfe?" Horatio greeted him with.

Ryan looked at his boss then back down at the body "Colette Clark, age 28. She's been divorced twice and lived not too far from here in one of her ex's condo's which she got from the divorce. COD is blunt force trauma to the skull and from what I can tell; she wasn't dead for long until she was found."
Natalia took out her camera, moving closer to the body; taking photos "Were you friends?" she asked Wolfe who shook his head "Nah, we were in different groups. She was popular..."
"Whereas you weren't?" Eric interrupted him. Calleigh giggled quietly, taking out some brushes from her kit.
"She wasn't a very nice person though, treated people like they were worthless." Wolfe said giving Eric an annoyed look who turned to Horatio "What do we do about the Reunion people?" he asked. Horatio turned and saw the hall full of Ryan's old school mates, trying to catch a glimpse of their dead queen bee
"Talk to them all because one of them is our killer, everyone's a suspect including you Mr Wolfe"


*CSI theme song YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*


After processing the body and crime scene, the CSI's found that Collette had been grabbed by the wrist, as she tried to walk away and was thrown backwards. Calleigh had found fingerprints on her wrist after dusting it and now they just needed fingerprints to compare to the ones she found. Horatio told Wolfe to go back to the hall to give his statement because he couldn't be a part of the investigation.
Ryan approached Charlie who was waiting patiently with Rick "Your teams here?" she asked as he got to her, putting his arm around her shoulder to pull her in for a hug.
"What are they saying?" Rick asked eagerly
Ryan looked around the hall and saw faces peering at him, talking quietly amongst themselves "Someone pushed her against the wall and she hit her head" was all he said. Then some old classmates walked over to them, asking questions.
"I'm sorry but I know as much as everyone else, I'm not even on the case" he said and they gave up, walking away from them.
"They never talked to me in high school and now because there's a dead body, everyone wants to talk to me" he said in a joking way.

Calleigh went back to the lab with her results from the fingerprints to see if they were in the system, while the other CSI's took statements of everyone at the reunion.
Eric was looking over the body once again, trying to figure out the impact needed to cause that damage to Colette and he concluded that whoever did push Collette, they wouldn't need much body strength because she was a very light woman.


After getting everyone's statements prior to finding Collette's body, the CSI's had some potential suspects, Natalia took Penny while Eric took Laney.
" I've heard some stories about you and Collette, you didn't get along?"
Penny crossed her arms over her chest in a defensive manner "Let me guess, you heard that from tweedle dum and tweedle dee?" she said looking over at Collette's minions. "I haven't spoken to Collette in 10 years since high school finished. She was a horrible person who enjoyed making people feel worthless , but no I did not kill her"
Natalia nodded "But we have some witnesses saying you were near the bathroom shortly before Collette's body was discovered"
"I went to the bathroom before going on stage to organise the speeches and as I was coming out Collette was walking in and she was very much alive"

"We have some witnesses saying you were harassing Collette along with many other female guests tonight Mr Laney" Eric said.
LAney smiled cheekily, rubbing his forehead "Look I like the ladies, you're a man you know how it is at these kinds of things... I heard she just recently got divorced so I thought I'd give it a crack. Because you know she would have been on the rebound but she turned me down"
"And that made you angry?"
"Of course, we were the perfect couple back in school – prom king and queen"
"So you killed her?"
The look on that man's face changed drastically "Hey hey I just wanted some fun, I didn't kill her"
Eric stared at the man who he could tell had lost himself after school, he was after all the quarter back of the football team but now he didn't have much going for him.

Rick and Ryan talked while Charlie's was being talked to by Horatio
"How are you ma'm? After all you've been through the past couple of months"
Charlie sighed "Me and Wolfe came here to get our minds off what happened but look what happens?"
Horatio nodded, looking down at his black sunglasses "I heard about the altercation you had with the victim in the bathroom"
Charlie rubbed her eyes, sighing again "We didn't have an altercation Horatio, I just had a firm word with her that's all and this was like an hour before she was killed. I was nowhere near that bathroom, ask Ryan"
"I will" Horatio said without skipping a beat.

"What do you think is going on?" Rick asked of Ryan who didn't know what to say to his old friend. "It's hard to say Rick, so many motives, and opportunities. You remember what she was like in high school and by the looks of it she hadn't of changed. Anyone could have done it".


At the lab, the fingerprints found on Collette's body have been identified. Calleigh got out her phone and dialed Horatios number
"Horatio, we've found a match with the fingerprints. I'm on my way back to you."

Once Calleigh arrived back at the hotel, Ryan, Charlie and the other guests were still in the auditorium. Horatio, Natalia and Eric walked over to Calleigh as Ryan and Charlie watched on as she showed them a piece of paper. Horatio nodded his head and headed for the guests
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen"
Ryan moved forward, whispering to Horatio "What's going on H?" he asked but his question was ignored by his lieutenant.
"Will you ma'm please go with Natalia" he said looking at Charlie "And you Mr Wolfe go with Calleigh"
Charlie looked at Ryan, worry written over her face but obliged with Horatios order. "And you Mr Hendrickson, go with CSI Delko" Horatio said looking at Rick who nodded. "Now Ma'm Penny, come with me"

"Calleigh, what is going on" Ryan said as he followed Calleigh out of the auditorium, wanting to know what was happening with his friend and girlfriend.
"We have a match from the fingerprints found on Collette's arms, I'm sorry Ryan". Calleigh added with a soft sympathetic smile, turning back on her heels. Ryan stopped, thoughts rummaging through his head all at once. The fingerprints obviously belong to one of three people – Rick, his oldest friend from high school, Penny his old lab partner or Charlie his girlfriend BUT who was it?.

Calleigh opened a door to an isolated room, placing her paper on a table in front of someone "We found your fingerprints in our system after your DUI last year" she said to the killer "And they matched the fingerprints found on Collette" she finished, crossing her arms "I want my lawyer" the killer replied.
Outside the room, Ryan was waiting impatiently to find out which one of his loved ones had murdered Collette. He looked to the side as soon as he heard Natalia's voice and he saw Charlie walking with his CSI colleague. Pheww, he thought as Charlie hugged him "Who was it?" she asked, looking at the door behind them.
The door handle started to move, so Ryan and Charlie moved back to see who would emerge from the room as the killer.
"Rick?" Ryan said in disbelief as Calleigh and Eric had his hands cuffed behind his back. Rick didn't say a word to Ryan as he walked past him towards the exit of the hotel. Ryan turned to Charlie "I better go with him to the lab"
Charlie nodded "Sure I'll meet you down there"


Once Calleigh and Natalia had driven back with Charlie to the crime lab, Charlie was starting to feel sick so she went to the bathroom. Natalia had gone to check on Ryan who was with Eric and Rick in the interview room while Calleigh waited for Charlie.
After coming out of the bathroom, Calleigh saw how pale Charlie had become "Are you alright?" she asked, putting a hand behind Charlie for support
"I've just been throwing up lately, like all over the place. I think I might have caught something".
Calleighs jaw dropped as a possible sickness came to her mind "Are you pregnant?". Charlie laughed it off "No way, I've just caught something".
Calleigh wouldn't take that as an answer "We might as well know for sure, you did say it's been happening the past couple of weeks right?"
Charlies face froze, and her hands started to shake "I can't be..." she said looking into Calleighs eyes. She took her hands and held them tight "Look we'll get you tested now, I'll stay with you"

Meanwhile Ryan was talking to his old friend from high school in the interview room, waiting for his lawyer.
"Why would you do this Rick? You're not that type of person" Ryan said, still trying to get it through his head while Eric watched over the conversation. Rick looked away from Ryan, tapping his fingers on the table "Look Wolfe, you don't know me anymore. After you went off to become a CSI, I changed. I've done a lot of things I aint proud of, but Collette... she was asking for it."
Then Ricks lawyer walked through the door "That's enough Rick"
"Nah he should know"

*flashback*
"Hey Collette, looking good as always" Rick said as he stood outside the girls bathroom. Collette rolled her eyes, crossing her arms together "What do you want? I'm needed on the stage to say a speech"
She said and began to walk away, but Rick got infront of her "What's with the cold shoulder? You liked seeing me back in the day..." he said with a lustful grin, moving towards her. Collette laughed in his face "We were kids Rick, and I liked the thrill of seeing 2 people at once! You meant nothing to me that's why I never told anyone about you. God! Imagine if I did? I would have been the laughing stock of the school"
Rick felt anger bursting up inside him as Collette laughed once again in his face, heading towards the auditorium.
"Hey!" he said, grabbing her arm and flinging her backwards into the wall. Rick watched on as blood poured from the back of her as her body fell to the floor. He looked around to make sure no had seen him and casually walked away as if nothing had happened
*End of flashback*

"Wait, what? You and Collette were seeing each other in school?" Ryan asked. Rick nodded with a big grin over his face
"Yeah we use to fool around after school..."
Eric laughed at Rick "Wow, so you were her play toy?" Ricks nose flared at his comment "You killed her because of some fling you had 10 years ago?"

"Don't say another word Rick" warned his lawyer "It's too late, he just admitted he killed her" Eric said back to him as Ryan looked at his old friend
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE RICK!" Ryan snapped at his old bestfriend who just simply looked away from Wolfe. Eric patted Ryan on the back and shook his head
"There's nothing I can do for you now Rick" he said, sighing. Rick shrugged his shoulders "It was worth it".


Charlie approached Calleigh, holding a pregnancy test in her hands unable to speak. Calleigh looked down and saw the + meaning it was positive.
"Charlie..." she began to say, a smile coming over her face as she hugged her friend. It still hadn't quite sunk in that yes, she was in fact pregnant "Oh my god, I can't believe this. How's Ryan going to take it?"
She looked up at Calleigh, fear coming to her mind. Calleigh lightly smiled, taking her hand "Ryan's a great guy Charlie, he'll be over the moon".
Charlie sighed, throwing the test into the bin next to her "I can't tell him right now, not after today. I'll wait for the right time"
Charlie decided that Ryan would be thinking about his friend Rick after today's events so she'd tell him when he was ready, and when she was too. Who'd of thought after the past couple of months, this would happen to her? Charlie thought to herself as walked towards Ryan as he watched Rick being taken away by Eric.
"Hey" Ryan greeted her and she took his hand "You okay?" she asked him, hoping he would be alright.
Ryan nodded sadly "After being friends with him for so longl, I never thought he would be capable of anything like this. I guess it's true what they say, your never the same person as you were in highschool."


When will Charlie break the news to Ryan that she's pregant? and how will he react?

Stay Tuned.
