I'm so sorry that it took me a long time to update.
Gabrielle Walker
Chapter 7
The team tried everything to find who's responsible of the shooting at Frank's place. They only collected few evidence, mostly bullets. They we're ready to leave the place when Gabie spotted something at Frank's yard.
"Hey guys, I saw something!" She walks near the bushes and picked up a cigarette butt. "Tada! Maybe it's from one of the shooters."
Natalia took it from Gabie. "Let's all hope this belongs to one of them."
They left the crime scene and head back to the lab.
When they reached the lab everybody keep themselves busy with the evidence they have.
They we're all occupied when they heard Natalia.
"Oh my! Good news at last! I got something." She exclaimed.
Gabie and Ryan rushed to Natalia's side. Ryan took his phone to call Horatio when they heard Eric's voice.
"I got something too!" says Eric.
Speed checked on Eric's result. " Romano Veron." He left Eric and goes to Natalia. "Who's your guy, Nat?"
Natalia look at the screen once more before answering Tim. "Rogelio Veron."
"The fingerprint from the letter that Horatio received is from a guy named Romano Veron. The DNA from the cigerette butt is from a guy named Rogelio Veron. Do you believe that this is just all coincidence? Probably they're related to each other." Tim's shaking his head while explaining to Gabie, Ryan and Natalia.
Eric walked over to them. "Hey, I received a call from Cal, she said recovered some prints from the bullets, she's asking me to go and see what we can find out." Eric look at Tim and they both heads to Calleigh at Firearms.
Calleigh saw Tim and Eric walked in. " Hey handsome, hey gorgeous." She greeted both men with a smile. "Here's the bullets. Did you find anything on that letter? How about the cigarette butt?" She handed the bullets to Eric.
Eric took the bullets from Calleigh before answering. "Well, the print from the letter is from a guy named Romano Veron."
"And the DNA from the cigarette butt is from Rogelio Veron." Tim said to Calleigh. "We have to go Cal, I'll help Eric with this bullets so we can rush things. Take some rest, Cal."
"Yeah, babe. You have to take it easy. You wouldn't want our angel to come out before his due." Eric place a hand on Calleigh's tummy.
"I will take a break okay. So both of you, get out of my lab... Shooo!" she playfully pushed the two men out of firearms.
Horatio's still waiting for any news about Frank. He saw the doctor came out of the operating room.
"Doctor, I'm here for Frank Tripp."
The doctor hand over a small bag to Horatio. "We recovered it from him Lieutenant. Your friend is still unconcious, he's still under observation right now."
"Thank you, Doctor." He look at the bag the doctor gave him he saw four bullets inside. He took his phone and dialed Tim's number. "Speed, the doctor gave me the bullets they recovered from Frank. Process this, it's priority. Do you have anything for me?"
After listening to Speed he off his phone and look at the ceiling. "We'll get them Frank."
Gabie's helping Eric with the bullets that Calleigh gave him. They already recovered two prints and it came from the two guys from the letter and cigaretter butt.
"Hahaha, We got another one!" Eric said out loud and got Gabie's attention. "It's another Veron."
Gabie rushed to Eric side to see the result. "Eric, this is different, Roberta Veron."
Eric took his phone and called Tim. "Hey, Speed. We got another hit from the bullet and guess what? It's from another Veron, this time it's from A girl named Roberta Veron."
Gabie continued what she was doing before Eric took her attention.
"Gabie, you know what Tim found out? The Veron's related. They'll be here in few minutes, Speed bringing them in."
Before she could answer Eric she heard her phone rings. She took her phone and finds out it's Horatio calling her.
"Hi..." The only word came out from her mouth. She just listened to what Horatio's saying. "Okay, I'll see you in a bit. Bye." She saw Eric's big grin. "What's with that big smile?"
"I always smile like this, Gabie."
She knows he's playing innocent. "Cut it out, Delko. Okay, that's Horatio. He said he's on his way here to see those suspects and to pick me up cause our shift is almost done. Remember we're supposed to stay together?"
Eric nodded. "Of course I remember, you're staying with Horatio. Well then maybe you would like to join us in our place later, I'm going to ask him anyway. Since Jesse and Walter are staying with us, we decided to ask Ryan, Natalia and Speed to come over for dinner."
"That's great idea, We all didn't really enjoy when we ate at that restaurant few days ago because of the blast." She's excited to join them for dinner. After spending days with the team, she felt like having a new family. She doesn't feel left out.
"Actually I thought of asking you about joining us earlier but I kinda got pre-occupied with all these things about the case." Eric took another bullet and check the print. "Hey, here's another one. Lucky for us huh, these people didn't use gloves. Cassey Andrews, check out her profile. She got few charges over the years."
"We have her address?" She asked Eric.
Eric grinned at her. "Yes, so wanna come along?" Eric playfully asked her with the key of the hummer on his hand then he started walking out.
"Of course, Delko. I wouldn't miss this!" She follows Eric as both of them heads out of the lab.
TIm and Jesse questioning the Veron siblings.
"We found your print on the bullets that was shot at the house of a police officer, care to tell us about that? Who asked you to shoot him?" Tim's still trying to control his temper.
Jesse walked over to the three people in the room and check their hands. It turned out they all positive with GSR.
"Now you got no reason to deny that you we're there at the crime scene, who else is there with you?" Jesse asked them calmly.
The Veron's still won't answer any of the questions.
They saw Eric and Gabie approaching with another suspect, they entered the room and asked Casey Andrews to sit beside the Verons. Rogelio started to talk.
"Okay, I'll talk just leave Casey out of this. We're part of an organization that smuggled drugs and weapons. My sister is the main contact of Capitano. I never seen Capitano in person though."
"Callar, Rogelio." Says Roberta. "No temas, callarse."
Rogelio wouldn't listen to his sister. "No, I want them to leave Casey out of this so I'm gonna talk. My brother and sister are with me in that house, Capitano ordered us to kill Lt. Caine's team. We tried to ambushed all of you in that restaurant with the rest of Capitano's equipo but you all got lucky. My girlfriend got nothing to do with this."
Tim stood in front of the suspects. "She has nothing to do with this? We found her prints all over those bullets just like yours, how are you gonna explain that to us?"
"You don't have to cover things for me, Rogelio. Yes I'm one of them. This is what I'm gonna tell all of you. This isn't over, Capitano will have your head for keeping me here." Casey Andrew threaten them.
"We'll wait for him. Take them." Tim rubbed his brow. "Anyone see Horatio?"
"Speed?" Horatio entered the room. "What do we have here?"
"You just missed it, we have four suspects in custody. They we're reffering to someone named Capitano, he's targeting us." Tim reported to Horatio.
"Since we're the target let's just all be very careful until this is all over. I'm going to my office to check on something." Horatio turned to Eric. "Eric, what is it that you wanted to tell me earlier?" He walks out of the room with Eric.
"Well, me and Calleigh are gonna invite you for dinner at our place. Since most of us are staying together for a while we decided to make dinner for everyone."
Horatio stop in front of his office. "I would love to, let me just finish something here then I'll be joining you. Can you take Gabie with you, I know she would love to catch up with you. She'll get bored if she waits for me here."
"Sure, H." Eric smiled at Horatio. " H, I know Mari would be happy to see you moving on." Eric tapped Horatio's shoulder before leaving. "We'll see you in a bit. Don't stay long here!" He waved his hand.
