Chapter 5-
Back at the office Lindsay was walking into the computer trace lab joining Hawkes and Danny with a results folder in hand. Raising the folder up so both of the guys could see it Lindsay said,
"Well Sid was right Chelsea Harris did have sex before she died. I found fresh semen in her bathing suit bottoms. And I was able to use that semen to find us a suspect, Brian Daniels." As Danny opened his mouth to ask her a question Lindsay said,
"I found his address in the computer. I already called Flack; he's ready to go whenever you are Danny." As soon as the words were out of Lindsay's mouth Danny immediately headed for the door to collect his things to go join Flack. Reaching the door Danny turned and said,
"Call if you find out anything else. But I will definitely call when we have the scumbag in custody." Hawkes and Lindsay nodded as Danny proceeded out the door. Moving next to Hawkes, who was standing in front of one of two monitors, Lindsay glanced up at him as she asked,
"So…what are you working on now Doc?" Looking at her with his crooked little grin Hawkes pointed at the computer screen as he replied,
"Since Chelsea Harris was a swim suit model I am running her face and bathing suit against other photos of models to see if we can find which model agency she worked for. Once we've figured that out then we can look into the reason of why she was in a parking deck in the middle of February."
Looking at the desk Lindsay saw two monitors working at the same time, one had a picture of Chelsea Harris taken in autopsy, and the other was a picture of the bikini that she was wearing. Next to each stationary photo there were blurred screens as other photos flashed by as they were deemed not a match to their own. Watching as picture after picture came up negative, Lindsay looked to Hawkes and said,
"This may take a while."
With Hawkes working on this and there being nothing for her to do Lindsay decided to go see if Adam had gotten anything from the string and bead found on the victim. At that moment as if he had read her mind Adam walked into the computer trace lab. When Adam had made his way over to Lindsay and Hawkes Lindsay said,
"I was just about to come and see you Adam; did you read my mind or something? What did you find?" Handing the nilla envelope to Lindsay so she and Hawkes could see the photos as he said,
"I ran the gimp string and crystal like bead to confirm what jewelry they were used in. The number one jewelry that they are used in is a pooka shell necklace. Many road side venders sell them here in New York."
Frowning at the last bit of information Lindsay turned back to Adam and said, "Great work Adam. Don't go anywhere I'm going to call Mac and put it on speaker phone, that way we can all tell them what we've found." When they called Mac to inform him of their progress Mac was impressed by what they had found. In return Mac told them of the early arrival by saying,
"Well Lindsay it seems that Lucy will have someone to join her in playing dress up." With a surprised expression upon her face Lindsay squealed,
"You had a girl. Oh Mac, congratulations" then out of curiosity, "did Stella just deliver?"
"Ah no actually she delivered in the truck when we were four blocks from the hospital."
Hearing this Lindsay exclaimed, "Oh wow, well at least both Stella and the baby are ok. Tell her I said congratulations. So are you going to tell us her name or do we have to wait till later?"
"Sorry guys but you'll have to wait till later when you all come to visit to find out what her name is. Hey make sure to tell Sid the great news and tell him that he's welcome to come with you all this evening."
A little disappointed that she couldn't hear the baby's name Lindsay perked up as she replied, "Yeah sure Mac. We'll let him know. We'll call you when we find anything new."
Mac immediately replied, "Ok guys. Keep doing a good job on the case."
Turning the phone off of speaker Lindsay gave a small squeal as she said,
"I can't wait to call Danny and Flack and tell them the good news."
Just then there came a loud beep from one of the monitors, they had finally found a match for one of their photos. Hearing the beep Lindsay, Hawkes, and Adam quickly repositioned themselves around the computer monitors. There they saw that the screen with Chelsea Harris's profile photo had found a match. Just as they started to read the details the other monitor gave a beep as it too found a match to Chelsea's bathing suit. Looking at both screens Hawkes summarized the two sets of data by saying,
"Ok, well Chelsea Harris is apparently a model for the New York modeling agency which just so happens to do the photo shoots for major department stores in the city. But thankfully the address is provided."
Nodding at this Lindsay inquired, "Does it say where the bathing suit came from, which store?"
Grinning as he read the information on the screen Hawkes turned to Lindsay and replied, "Macy's"
Eyebrows raised Lindsay replied, "Well we can talk with the modeling agency director and photographer more about that before we decide to go investigate Macy's."
Looking from Hawkes to Adam Lindsay said, "I for one hope that we don't have to investigate Macy's. But I can go talk with the modeling agency. I can call Danny and have him meet me at the address."
With a genuine friendly smile Hawkes replied, "That's fine Lindsay, you and Danny go check it out. I will go talk to Sid and see what he had talked to Mac about earlier and inform him of Mac and Stella's good news."
Just as Lindsay reached for her cell it began to ring. Picking it up and reading the name on the ID Lindsay looked to Hawkes as she said,
"Speak of the devil." Phone to her ear Lindsay answered,
"Hey Danny, did you and Flack apprehend the suspect?"
"Yep we are at the precinct now."
"Well that's good because we have a new lead in the case. I'm going to text you the address for the New York Modeling Agency. Can you meet me there to talk with some of the people?"
"Sure thing babe. Send me the address and I will leave right away…Hey did you hear anything from Mac and Stella?"
"I'll tell you about that when we get to the agency. I have some great news. I just sent you the address I will see you there."
Walking out of Trace Lindsay said, "Call if you get any new leads."
Nodding Hawkes replied, "Sure thing Linds."
Out of trace Lindsay jogged to hers and Stella's combined office and grabbed a set of keys to one of the Avalanche's. Keys in hand Lindsay zoomed to the elevator.
