When Calleigh and Natalia arrived at Maggie Johnson's apartment, neither one of them could say they were surprised with the conditions of her apartment. From the moment they opened the disabled door into the apartment, it was obvious that Maggie wasn't putting her checks into her residence. The front room was completely trashed. The table was knocked on its side, the chairs thrown about the room. The sofa had been ripped apart, the coffee table was on its back. The bookshelf was ridden of its books, many of the pages scattered the floor. One of the windows was covered in wood, most likely due to the fact that it was broken.
"Oh man." Natalia said.
"Somebody was in here." Calleigh said. "Go check the bedroom."
Natalia walked down the small hall. The garbage and smell began to dissipate the further she went. Natalia passed through the open door of Maggie's room. Compared to the living room, the bedroom was fairly clean. The bed was messed up and the hamper was full of used clothes, but other than that it was neat.
Natalia walked to the nightstand and set her kit on the floor. She opened her kit and pulled out her gloves. Natalia opened the top drawer and froze. "Uh, Cal, you might wanna see this." Natalia crouched down, picking up her camera.
Calleigh walked into the bedroom. "What'd you find?"
"Maggie's dirty secret." Natalia answered. She picked up the drawer and pulled it from the stand. Inside were several boxes of condoms along with several unused packages. There were gags, ropes, vibrators, all tucked neatly inside the drawer. "Seventeen year old stripper in Miami, what are the odds that's she's also prostituting herself?"
Calleigh shook her head. "I don't know. Look at her apartment; with all the money she'd be making, she would've been in a nicer place."
Natalia started bagging all the items in the drawer.
Calleigh turned to the bed. She pulled back the sheets and pulled out her UV light. She put on her glasses and turned on the light. Calleigh sighed again at the nonexistence numbers of semen sample on the sheets. "At least she was being safe."
Natalia looked at the clean sheet. "Probably the safest thing this poor girl did."
Calleigh folded up the sheets and slipped them into bags.
Natalia started at the dresser drawer. She pulled in open. "Oh my god."
Calleigh looked up. "What is it?"
"You're not going to believe this." Natalia said.
Calleigh walked around the bed to Natalia. "Oh god."
Inside the top drawer were dozens of baggies filled with used condoms. Each one was in its own baggie, dated, named, and ordered. Natalia snapped several pictures before picking up a baggie.
"Okay, no girl keeps souvenirs of who she sleeps with." Natalia said.
"Which means Maggie was prostituting voluntarily." Calleigh replied.
"Someone was pimping her around." Natalia said.
Calleigh picked up one of the baggies. "Everything's labeled. The guy's name, the date."
"Should make tracking them easy." Natalia said.
"Yeah, but that also makes our list of suspects bigger." Calleigh said.
Natalia glanced back at the door. "The front room was trashed, but the bedroom was untouched."
"Maybe whatever the killer took was in the living room?" Calleigh suggested.
"Then he must know what he wants." Natalia said. "I mean, I know Maggie didn't have much, but there are still plenty of things in this room worth taking."
"Which makes me wonder just what the killer was after." Calleigh said.
and it's all starting to come together...i think.
