Thank you for all of your reviews, it means a lot to me. Once again, I own nothing besides the clothes on my back and the laptop I am writing this story on though I would always welcome donation
"I'm driving"
"Not unless we want to have two more bodies to process Greg"
Greg pouted at Grissom. Grissom just shook his head and headed out to the car.
"Oh and guys, you might want to bring a change of clothing" he added with the slightest of grins.
Meanwhile, back at the lab, Nick and Sara spread out all of the documents pertaining to the previous two cases.
"Okay, let's start off with the similarities"
Nick nodded and said, "All of the vics are white females between about the ages of twenty and thirty five; both are in steady relationships without any kids and are living with their boyfriends."
"Both have well paying jobs, have a collage education, and have no real enemies," Sara added.
"They were killed brutally, tortured first; each receiving several minor lacerations to the abdomen, legs, face, arms, and backs."
"Painful but not deadly" Sara added grimly.
Nick nodded and continued; "They were than starved, deprived of food and water for several days, leaving them barely alive."
"And finally" Sara said; "They were strangled. Ligature marks point to the use of some kind of rope. Bruising suggests that they were tortured for several hours before finally, they were allowed to die. The rope was probably pulled around their neck until they fell unconscious and then released until they woke up and the process would continue."
Nick's eyes were sad as he listened. "We never found the murder weapons, fibers, finger prints, DNA… NOTHING!" He slammed his fist against the table.
"Nick we will get him, I promise"
"Sara don't promise things that you can't be sure you will be able to obtain."
After a pause Nick said, "Let's look at what is different between the two cases."
Sara nodded and said, "Vic one, Susan Ryan thirty-four. She was a second grade teacher at Palms Elementary School; she was born in Maryland but moved to Vegas after receiving her education at the University of Delaware. She shared an apartment with her boyfriend and the two were engaged. We won't know much more until we talk to the family."
Nick sighed, "Victim two, Sherry White twenty-one. She was a nurse at Desert Palms and shared a house with her boyfriend of three years. She was born in Boston and attended Harvard. Both of her parents are dead and her brother is at war currently, we are waiting to hear from him."
Sara nodded and they both looked down at the pictures of the once lively but now deceased women.
Please tell me what you think. Should I continue?
