Chapter 17: "What The…", Part 3

Have you ever heard of packaged, used panties?

Adam nearly spit out his coffee after reading Greg's text. Come again? he answered.

Women wear panties, and put them in a Ziploc bag, and sell them.

Adam snorted slightly. I've heard of a lot of fetishes, but never that one. What do the buyers do with them?

Sniff them, apparently.

Adam shook his head as he left the break room for his lab. Oh, and that's all?

Adam sat down behind his computer before reading Greg's next text. That's the most I want to think about.

Adam laughed softly. So, in other words, you have a very interesting case tonight.

Adam hit a few keys on the keyboard, ignoring the vibrations from the phone in his pocket as he started running a decryption program for a hard drive. As the program set in motion, he looked at his phone to find Greg's response.

Dude, you have no idea. Dead hotel worker in the middle of our attempt
To bust a couple of meth cooks, and the hotel worker is an event coordin
Ator for this panty party at the hotel.

Adam arched his eyebrows. Panty party?

Adam glanced up at the computer before looking back at his phone.

Live models, each with a set of vacuum packed panties for sale.

Adam shook his head. The things you see in Vegas…

Any time you want a change of scenery…

Adam laughed. I'm good here, dude.

"You're havin' too much fun in here tonight," Danny commented as he walked in.

"Ah, Greg's got an interesting case," Adam replied.

"More interesting than the computer case you're working?"

"Panty sniffers."

"Excuse me?"

"His suspects include guys who buy used panties to sniff them."

Danny shook his head. "That's… not right."

"I know."

Danny kept shaking his head as he walked out of Adam's lab, muttering something about people these days.

So, what's your case? Greg had asked while Danny had invaded the lab.

Computer hacker. Sent porn-spam to a bunch of people in the DAs office. Adam sent back.

Wait, what?

Adam smirked to himself. Kidding. It's an embezzlement fraud case.

I was gonna say, I think we would've heard something out here…

Adam shook his head. I doubt it. Porn-spam doesn't spread that well.

Are you sure about that?

Adam laughed.
