Guest: Did you see the part at 0:10 in the promo?

I think you are refuring to when Vincent seemed to be struggling with something while he was lying down. (maybe murifled) I will try my best to include it at some point but seeing how its more of: where did that come from?! But I will deffinatly try to look more into it and come up with someway to tie it in. We are going to be learning very soon that Vincent had a past drug addiction where Alex then nursed him out of it (which was also featured in this story) so I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Later on in the promo maybe Alex injected something into him because at some point she had a syringe. Also, Alex was in the warehouse in the promo, not sure how she got in but she did. Now that can't happen in this story because and is dead and Nikki is...well...Nikki, you'll see.

I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 58

Claire walked up to one of the benches in the park and sat down next to a short hair man.

"You're late." The man said in a frustrated tone.

"Sorry, I just had to take care of some things with Evan."

The man gave Claire a harsh look.

"Don't worry, we'll get to Vincent." Claire said assertive.

The man sighed and pulled out a picture from his pants pocket and handed it to Claire. "Then get rid of her."

Claire looked at the picture. "I remember her..." Claire smiled.

"Good." said the man as he placed Catherine's picture back in his pocket. As Claire began to walk away he said, "Oh, and make sure that there is no one the cops can talk to about Alex. The littler they know...the better."

Claire turned around and smiled. "I'm sure that won't be a problem."

Catherine looked down at the bathtub which still contained Nikki Flinn's body. She watched as Even knelt down next to the gun with the second evidence tag on the small mat next to the tub.

"Anything?" Catherine asked kneeling down next to her co-worker.

"Well that's pretty big don't you think?" Evan asked pointing to the object next the first evidence tag.

"So she was the one doing it huh?" Catherine asked.

Evan nodded. "Just waiting for an official scan in the lab. Gabe is gunna call me when it's done. Shouldn't be long."

Catherine nodded.

"It would explain why she was acting weird. Let alone the fact she wanted to shoot you."

Catherine let out a nervous laugh. "Guess so. So is it a suicide or homicide?"

Evan fixed his blue glove and then looked at Nikki's body. "So far? Suicide. Most likely she was trying to kill her self by over-dosing on morphine. Clearly she was concerned about something."

"Probably didn't want to go to jail for threatening an officer."

Evan nodded.

"But what about the gun?"

"Probably was hoping for a sudden death but the morphine wasn't acting fast enough so she just shot herself."

"No other DNA on the gun huh?"

Evan shook his head. "Nope. Just Nikki Flinn's."

Catherine nodded. "But why Alex Salter's apartment?"

"She was probably living here since that's where Salter was keeping the drugs. Easy access didn't have to bring them out of her apartment or into hers. She was a manager for and New York ER, not something you want to be caught doing, injecting morphine into yourself."

Catherine nodded once more. "Explains why she wasn't tested when she tested all the other employees."

Evan nodded as he pulled out his phone to call Gabe. He walked out of the bathroom leaving Cat with Tess.

Tess walked over and handed Catherine a clip board with all the cases information. "Good news, we found why Alex Salter had the drugs, she was stealing them for the manager 'cause manager didn't wanna get caught and Salter knew if she got caught then the manager would back her up. Bad news, alley guy's death is still unsolved. Joe's gunna give us another week to work on it and then call it unsolved."

Evan locked his car as he headed towards the precinct. Gabe was too busy with his ADA stuff so it was up to Evan to look at the prints. He was about to slide his key to the morgue door and something moved in the corner of his eye. He slipped the card through the key slot opening the door as slowly as he could. He didn't recognize the person which made him even more suspicious. He watched as the person was looking at his DNA research. He noticed that the person was planning on taking them so he ran up behind the person and wrapped his arms around their throat. "Who are you?" he demanded.

The thin tall woman turned around in his arms and placed a small soft kiss on his lips. "Well good to see you too."

Evan let go of her and took a step back. "What the hell were you doing?"

Claire smiled. "Looking for you of course."

Evan raised an eye brow "In the file cabinet?"

Claire looked behind her and noticed she left the cabinet half open. She looked back at Evan and smiled.

"Claire, why are you really here?" Evan asked.

Claire didn't say anything as Evan walked over to his desk and grabbed the small bug.

"And I believe this belongs to you." he said handing her the small device.

Claire shook her head and smiled. "What are you talking about?"

"Your prints, it showed up when I ran it through." Evan paused. "Care to explain?"

"Well..." Claire started out.

Gabe walked in the morgue looking down at some files while whistling a random tune. He placed the folder on the desk and then looked up at Evan. "Sorry I didn't realize we had company." He said as he walked over to Claire. "Gabriel. And you are?"

Claire was about to open her mouth when Evan cut her off. "Not here to make friends."

Claire laughed. "Evan."

Evan shook his head and pointed to the door. "I want you to leave."

"Oh come on I-"

"Now." Evan demanded.

As she was putting her jacket back Evan handed her the bug. "And we can talk about this tonight over dinner."

Claire slowly nodded and took the dead bug from Evan's hand.

After she left Gabe hit Evan on the shoulder. "Dude!"

Evan turned around to face him. "What?" Evan spat.

"You just asked her out to dinner."

Evan rubbed his chin as he made his way back to his desk. "Yeah, so we could talk about why she was in here."

Gabe rolled his eyes. "Yeah..sure."

Evan ignored Gabe as he waited for the print on the gun to show up. After a few minutes they came through and he printed out the document. He walked over to the coat rack and slipped on his jacket. "Gabe I'm going back to the scene, I want you to stay down here and make sure no one else tries to sneak in here.

Gabe sighed. "Alright."

After Evan left Gabe's phone began to ring.

"Hello?" Gabe asked.

"What the hell are you doing there Lowen?"

"Kyle?" Gabe asked in a confused tone.

"No shit Sherlock. Look, you were placed at that precinct to make sure we get to Vincent and what do I just find? Another civilian getting killed!"

"Look Kyle, she was shot okay? No marks from Vincent."

Kyle sighed. "I want you to make sure that this thing get eradicated. And if it doesn't don't bother coming back."

"Kyle, look I think someone might be on our tail about the whole thing."

"Oh great, nice going!" Kyle snapped.

"No, it's not my fault for some reason she is very interested in all the DNA research me and the medical examiner have been going through. She planted bug-"

"If this mess isn't cleaned up in one month, you better never show your face again in DC. Understand? We are wasting time and money keeping you up there and if your just playing medical examiner then-"

"No, I'm not I'm getting answers okay? Just give me a month, I will get to him I promise!"

Kyle sighed through the phone. "A month. And if that girl comes around snooping in your work...well...take measures as needed."

"Wait you don't mean?!"

"Gabriel, I'm tired of playing around. It's been around 10 years. There is a beast still out there and he needs to be dead. I'm tired of all these wild-goose chases. You got three weeks and if nothing changes I'm coming up there myself."

"Three weeks? But you said-"

"Three weeks." Kyle snapped.

Let me know what you guys think!
