Where the Head Did You Go!

Chapter 3
This time I am working with Livi again and I'll just be helping.
Sara's P.o.v
"Hey Vega what have we got?" I asked Detective Vega. He motioned to a young girl standing next to the tracks and sighed.
"A man was riding this roller coaster when he noticed walking off that there was something laying on the tracks near the maintenance area" Vega said "Turns out, there was a woman's head laying only feet away from her body. The rest of her was inside the maintenance dock with another train. The young woman over there is the usual operator and the man is currently waiting to be questioned."
"I'll talk with the girl" Nick said. I shot him a disapproving look. "What?"
"No" I said "I'll talk with the girl, I bet it'll be easier for me to connect with her anyway." He rolled his eyes and walked off to process the scene with the rest of the team.
I sighed and went to speak with the girl. From glancing at the info sheet Detective Vega had handed me before walking to talk with some of the press, I gathered that the girl was about 22 and blonde. She didn't look up when I approached and I knew this might be a bit difficult.
"Hello, I'm Sara Sidle with the CSI crime lab" I said "Would you mind answering some questions miss…?"
"Tobi Mandel" she said, her eyes meeting mine "Can we get this over with? It's not that I don't like this creepy crime stuff it's just that when it happened to me, it creeped me out."
"It's understandable" I said "Now, can you tell me about the last time you saw the woman?"
"She was here first thing" Tobi said "Said she wanted to get a ride in before she went off to work at a jewelry store, in fact, she gave me a business card before getting on the ride."
"May I have the card?" I asked. She nodded and handed me the business card of one of most recognized jewelers in Las Vegas.
"Maria Vasquez?" I said, surprised "She was here?"
Tobi shrugged. "I don't wear much jewelry. I wouldn't know her from some other person."
I couldn't believe that our vic was the same jeweler that had made the rings for Grissom and I. Man, this was about to get complicated!
" Was there any video?" I asked.
"Your detective buddy already grabbed it from the booth" she said "It's from Friday to yesterday. I'm not 100% sure if you guys will be able to view the maintenance dock though, it's only got one camera on the inside."
"Well, thanks for your help" I said "We'll be in touch."
"Wonderful" she said.
I turned and went to help process the rest of the scene. It looked like everything was almost finished until I heard Nick yell "Is the body missing a finger?"
"Nope," said David. "She's got all of them."
"Then I guess we're looking for Senor Dedo,"Nick said. Half the team erupted in laughter and I was one of the only ones who remained serious.
"Really?" I asked. "He's back?"
"Apparently," said Nick. Now don't get me wrong I hate all serial killers, but this one I hate a lot more than the other ones, because he prays on women in high positions and he also wants to kill Aisha, Catherine, and I.
"We should tell Catherine," I said. We soon finished processing the scene and went back to the lab and called all the CSIs and Catherine to the processing room.
"What's this about?" Catherine asked.
"Senor Dedo is back," Nick said. Aisha looked like she was about to scream.
"Tell me your kidding," said Greg.
"We're not, we have evidence that he killed our latest vic," I said.
"You're not joking, he still wants us dead?,"Aisha screeched.
"Probably," Nick said. "That's why I strongly suggest that both you, Sara and Catherine stay away from the scene and make sure to have some sort of protection at home."
"That doesn't help," Aisha said. "Remember the second victim she had a gun with her and he still killed her. What do you think will happen to us?"
"We won't know till we bring this guy down," Greg said. "And trust me, we will this time."
"I think all the girls should have round the clock guards posted and other protection protocol," Catherine said, "We're not taking chances."
"I'll have my men protect you, don't worry," said Brass.
"That doesn't calm my nerves," said Aisha obviously trying hard not to panic.
"You can stay at my house," Greg said causing every head in the room to turn to him in shock.
"I think that'd give me peace of mind," said Aisha.
"Oh yeah forgot, pay up boys Sara and I won the bet," Catherine said.
"Bet? What bet?" Greg asked, confused.
"Uh oh," said Brass.
"We made a bet on when you two would get together," said Sara. "We seriously won?"
"Yep," said Catherine.
"The Las Vegas Crime Lab," Greg said. "We bet on ridiculous things!"
