Thanks for the reviews, sorry its yet another short chapter I don't seem able to get the hang of longer ones : )
When Sofia awoke it was not due to sunlight shining through the window as she would expect on her day off but rather to the sound of her mobile. She was off duty but is a police woman ever truly off duty, apparently not in Vegas at least. It seemed that although there were several perfectly good detectives on duty they were all out at other cases which meant that she had to head to a DB in Henderson. Great just great.
Catherine felt that her head was about to explode. Knowing this and deciding to keep out of the way and do paperwork seemed like it would be the best for everyone as she was notoriously crabby whilst ill, but apparently Vegas had other ideas. She was now working solo on a DB in Henderson, she hoped it wasn't too gruesome else she felt she would hurl if there were any bodily fluids anywhere other than inside the body.
Sofia was worried. Maybe worried was a bit strong but she was certainly slightly concerned when she saw the glass of water and left over toast next to the sink rather than Cath's usual coffee mug. The only time Cath didn't drink coffee was when she was ill and she didn't remember her saying anything the night before when they went to bed, she figured she would soon find out as the attending CSI would tell her straight away and probably try and get her to persuade Cath to go home. Ha that would be an achievement getting her partner to leave a case mid way through for anything. But still upon leaving the house she worried.
The journey to Henderson was uneventful. Nick had promised to join her as his case had been a hoax robbery but it would take him an half an hour as traffic was bad, unfortunately for her that meant she would at least have to look at the body before processing the scene and that was not something she was looking forward to. At the mere mention of a dead body her stomach reminded her that it didn't really like its current contents and would given half a chance probably expel them very unpleasantly, but she persevered and upon arriving at the scene made her way to where David was waiting for her.
As I pulled up in Henderson I saw the usual Tahoe and wondered who I would have the pleasure of working with this evening and after discussing the situation with the officer at the scene I was pleased to hear it was Cath. Unfortunately it was another twenty minutes before I had a chance to track her down as the neighbours decided it would be a good idea to become super talkative.
