Three Days Later
Kit pondered and analyzed all of the evidence from the last four victims running everything through the mass spectrometer trying to narrow down where exactly they were all murdered.
Steve and the rest of the 5-0 team have questioned and everyone that was associated with Max Chen and Derek Jackson, but they all hit a dead end so they were all hoping that she would be able to come up with something.
As she set all 5 samples in the mass spec she went into the break area to grab a bottle of water upon walking back she saw Max heading in her direction.
"Hi Max, what's shaking?" She asked him.
"I wanted to come by and see if you needed any assistance with your trace?" He asked her, as held open the door for her back into the lab.
"Actually I do, I am in the process of looking at a leaf that was found on victim three, it as qualities of your standard Walnut but it's as if there is a another breed and my system is having a heck of a time trying to narrow down the hybrid." She told him pointing to the microscope.
Max took his glasses off and peered through the eye hole of the scope, he zoomed in and out trying to determine and then he zoomed in as far as he can and he stood up and had her look through.
What she was three faint red lines on the left side of the leaf, and a huge smile broke out on her face, looking back at Max she grabbed his face and kissed his cheek.
"I think we just solved this case. Your awesome Max, and I am going to put in a word for you to get a raise." With that she ran out of the lab and headed to her car.
