The phone on Boyd's desk rings and he stands up and answers it. "Boyd."
"Boyd, get Grace and the team and get down here. I've got some new evidence." Frankie says over the phone.
"We'll be right down, Frankie. Thanks." Boyd says before he hangs up the phone.
"New evidence, Boyd?" Grace asks wiping her hands on a napkin.
"Yeah, Frankie wants us down in the lab. Let's go you two." Boyd says to Spence and Mel.
The quartet troop down to Frankie's lab and pull on white lab coats before they enter the sterile environment. "Right, so our killer and our bomber were both very smart. The killer placed a few phone books in a briefcase and placed it on the back seat. He then shot the victim and the bullet went through the body, through the seat, through the briefcase and into the phone books. The phone books were found in the boot of the car and the first two had a bullet hole in them, but no bullet. My guess is that the killer retrieved the briefcase, dumped the phone books into the boot and retrieved the bullet. This person was smart. Now, when a bomber uses a clock as a timer to set the bomb off the bend the hands so that when they meet at the set time the circuit is completed and the bomb goes off. If the clock hands are coated in plastic they have to be sanded or the circuit complete. These hands weren't sanded or bent. The circuit couldn't be completed. Everything in this case was very deliberate." Frankie tells the team.
"So, could the shooter have been a hitman?" Mel speculates.
"Well, and if the guy in the car was a terrorist it could have been the Security Services or the Army even." Spence adds to the conversation.
"If he was Irish and not on the side of independence it would have been dangerous for him. He may have been killed by the Irish." Grace suggests.
"Does who killed me him really matter though if he was a terrorist? What does it matter in the long run?" Mel asks seriously.
"Well, just because he was a terrorist, if he was a terrorist, doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to have his murder solved, Mel. Everyone deserves to be identified, buried, and mourned." Boyd says firmly.
"I don't totally agree with that, Boyd. Some people just don't deserve to have their end be happy. Some people need to rot in prison or as body in a lock-up." Mel says vehemently.
"That's a little harsh Mel. By definition, that way a lot of people wouldn't deserve the end of life that they get, including me." Boyd sounds upset. "Thanks Frankie." Boyd leaves the lab, hangs up his lab coat, and heads for the elevator.
