back from north carolina since saturday it was fun and amazing like the reunions always are, hope you like this chapter nd omg im actually making a case and going with it :)
Chapter 4:
"So what did you call us down here for?" Danny asked, he was giving Denver the silent treatment and she didn't know why.
"He wasn't killed from being stabbed, he died from Dendrobates leucomelas. A yellow-banded dart frog's poison was injected into his body. The alkaloid toxins, secreted from the frogs' skin, interfere with nerve impulses, it killed him almost instantly."
"Then why stab him three times?" Denver asked.
"There's a possibility that there might have been two killers, the second person might have been impacient and didn't realize that he would die quickly."
"How exactly did this killer get his hands on a frog like this?" Denver frowned, she hated when things didn't make sense to her.
"He had to get it directly from Central or South America, if he got it from a regular pet store it wouldn't be poisonous because they won't have the natural sources of food, and they'd lose much of their toxicity."
"How did it get into the city then?"
"Guess you'll have to find out."
"Yeah, that sounds like fun," Denver smirked, and grabbed Danny by the arm, walking him to the elevator. Once the door closed Denver looked over at her boyfriend. "What's up with you today?"
"Nothing is wrong," he leaned against the wall.
"Don't give me that Messer."
Danny crossed his arms, glaring at Denver, "When were you going to tell me about you and Adam?" he asked a few minutes later.
"What does anything have to do with Adam?"
"I saw you with him earlier, what is that all about?"
"Seriously Danny, we are just friends, I thought even you would know that. I can't believe you sometimes, what you think I'd actually cheat on you in the middle of the break room?"
"Look, I'm sorry."
She held up her hand, "Don't even Danny, I can't believe you would think that something was going on with me and him."
The elevator opened up to the lab a few moments later, and Denver stormed out, leaving Danny behind.
"What the hell is his problem?" Denver asked as she made it to the A/V room where Adam was in looking at some footage.
He turned around, looking at her confused, "Do I even want to know?"
"Messer being an ass is what."
"What did he say?"
"He had the nerve to ask me if me and you had something going on, like I was cheating on him."
"Really? Why would he even think that?"
"He apparently saw me comforting you and got all upset about it."
"And you're still with the guy?"
"Well, he's usually not like this."
"He doesn't deserve you, I hope you know," Adam ran a hand through his hair.
"Adam, you don't know him like I do, okay? Now can we get off this topic I need help on this case," she crossed her arms.
"I'm sorry about what I said, so what do you need help with?"
"I need to know how the killer got his hands on a poisonous dart frog."
"Is that what killed him?"
"Yes, but it has to be straight from wildlife because..."
"Because he needs his natural food selection to remain poisonous."
"Yeah, how do you know that?"
"I know my animals, you should know that by now Den."
"Sorry," she patted his hand.
"If I find something out, I'll let you know, okay?"
"Yeah, thanks Adam," Denver left the room with a smile on her face, because she had someone else to help with the case.
"What do you mean Danny asked you what's going on with you and Adam?" Isabella frowned, looking at her best friend, Denver needed a lunch break.
"Well apparently he thought I was cheating on him with Adam. What kind of sense does that make Iz, like I'd do that where wandering eyes can see me?"
"You know how hard headed that man is."
Denver sighed, scratching the back of her neck, "Half the time I wonder why I am still with him," she huffed.
Izzy reached over the table holding Denver's hands in hers, "We both know that you have trouble breaking up with people."
"He hasn't done anything really stupid until today, it's like he doesn't trust me all of a sudden."
"Did you say anything to him that might have made him upset?"
The dirty blonde frowned, "Last night he did call and I told him I was tired and there would always be tomorrow for a date. Then when he was hanging up he said that he loved me, but I didn't say it back. But that doesn't mean he has to accuse me of cheating on him. He's more hard headed than I thought. I really should set him straight," she groaned. "I don't have to apologize, do I?"
"He shouldn't even thought that you'd do something like that to him. He doesn't know that you two dated in college, does he?"
"No, I was going to tell him one of these days, but now I don't know when I should because I was just comforting Adam and Danny got so uptight about it. Just imagine how he'll act when I tell him that," she pulled her hands from Izzy's and rubbed at her covered thighs.
"You'll think of something Dennykins," Izzy smirked at her best friend. Denver shook her head, but frowned when her phone vibrated.
"Sandusky."
"Denver it's Adam, I have a break in the case."
"Alright thanks Adam, I'll be there in five," Denver's smile was back as she hung up the phone. "Adam got something on the case I'm working, time to go back to work."
"Okay Adam, what did you find out?" Denver asked the lab tech.
"Well I know where the killer got the frog, this website originalexotics is the only place to actually sell poisonous animals they find in their natural habitats. The distributor of this certain type of poison dart frog is from Exotic Venezuela Wildlife. I got a list of five people who recently bought a frog, but only one has been shipped to New York City, but it was sent to Trevor Murcoff."
"So, who was it who paid for it?"
"I was able to get the credit card number, and it belongs to a Jordan Willoski, she works for the same company Trevor worked for."
"The killer is a woman?" Denver asked, in shock.
"Yeah, I was as surprised as you were."
"Thanks for helping with the case Adam. I owe you one," she smiled, before taking out her phone and calling Flack.
"Just doing my job Denver."
