Chapter 4

"I want both of you in my office, NOW!" Pollock ordered Nicole and Jess once they were back at the office after finding Deanna. "So you have found the missing girl, right?"

"Yes sir, we have." Nicole said. "Cortez is assisting with the autopsy now."

"Great, but you know, that's really not why I have you in here." Pollock commented. "This was a quick case. Solved in about what, 12 hours? Girl kidnapped, found murdered with a clean shot to the head, but see, there is only one problem with this case." Pollock paused waiting for an answer but never received one. "I'm assuming you don't know so I'll just say it. There is still NO SUSPECT!" Pollock yelled at them.

"Sir that is why Cortez is in the autopsy now." Nicole almost yelled back.

"Will that tell us who the suspect is Scott?" Pollock asked her.

"It might. He could find forensics that we were unable to find before." Nicole said.

"As far as I'm concerned there will be no suspect. Hell Scott, we don't even have a possible suspect." Pollock said raising his tone again.

"That is not true!" Nicole yelled back. "Daniel Johnson is at least a possible suspect if not the suspect. You know Antonio figured out that was him in the video."

"Scott, you're right, you're right. Go bring me evidence and then I will believe you. Until then, don't come back." Pollock told her. Nicole just glared at him as she and Jess walked out.

"If Antonio doesn't have any evidence, I'm leaving Jess. I can't put up with Pollock any more today." Nicole told Jess once they were where Pollock couldn't hear them.

"I don't blame you. I probably will too, because I'm so tired I can't think right." Jess agreed.

"You should be. You've been here since 5 this morning." Nicole said.

"Alright, that had to be the longest and most frustrating autopsy ever." Antonio sighed as he walked over to Jess and Nicole.

"You're already done? It's only been a little over an hour." Nicole said confused.

"I know, but I had to get out of there. I was getting way too frustrated with the person who was doing the autopsy. But once again the person was pro. No hairs, prints, fibers, nada. I can say the perp used a 9 mm on her right temple." Antonio said.

"Just like my vision was." Jess said.

"That could only be a coincidence." Nicole said.

"No, I knew she was going to die. Like I had said when I first saw it." Jess said.

"Well, here's something else. The area she was killed in was pretty dusty and moldy. Her clothes are full of dust and have a kind of moldy scent to them." Antonio said.

"Probably a basement." Jess said. "Once again, from my vision."

"Right." Antonio agreed.

"That all?" Nicole asked.

"So far." Antonio said.

"Then I am going home. Pollock doesn't want me to report to him until I have solid evidence for a suspect and that isn't happening soon so I'm heading home. You going to come Jess?" Nicole asked.

"Yes. I am so exhausted." Jess said.

"Oh, so you two are just going to leave me here to deal with Pollock alone?" Antonio asked shocked as they began walking toward the elevator.

"Yeah! Just tell him the truth that we left. I'll explain details later. You won't get in trouble, so don't worry." Nicole laughed as they got on the elevator.

"Thanks for the added pressure Nick." Antonio said sarcastically.

"So are you going home or going to get some drinks?" Jess asked Nick.

"Home, because if I get drinks I probably won't go back to work which is bad." Nicole laughed.

"Yeah. That is true. I'm heading home too. Call me in an hour?" Jess said just so they could talk later.

"Sure. Talk to you later." Nicole said as she got in her car.

When Jess got to the parking lot of her apartment complex, she just sat in her car for a minute. She didn't know why she sat in her car, but something told her not to get out. She figured she was just too tired to really understand what she felt so she got out and started to head up to her apartment. She thought she heard someone following her but just shook it off thinking it was nothing. She then felt something round press up against her back and she swallowed hard. "Don't move or I will shoot you." The man told her. He was reaching around her waist for her gun and cell phone. She felt him grab her gun and she heard it hit the asphalt of the parking lot and she cringed at that sound. There was no way she could beat someone that was behind her and had a gun now. She then heard her cell phone hit the asphalt too. Her only lifeline to being saved was now gone. She tried to figure who had said those words but the harder she tried to think the more exhausted and dark her world got. That's when she realized whoever it was, he was giving her chloroform and before she knew it, her entire world was taken over by darkness.

Thanks again to all of my reviewers! Please R&R. Chapter 5 coming up soon... How will Nicole feel about Jess's disappearance? And who is the person that actually kidnapped Jess? It's all about Deanna's deathand Jess's life now... Lexie
