Steve arrived outside the office to see Danny waiting for him. He could tell that Danny was upset about something and he had a good idea why his partner was standing there with his arms crossed.

Steve asked "Where's Kono?"

Danny's replied "Working on the lead and Chin's on the phone with some real estate companies to see the latest victim's count."

Steve said "Ok, Let's go"

Danny asked "Where to?"

Steve said "To see Max."

Danny asked "What? Are you sure you don't want to take….I don't know,… let see Chin?" and there it was, the reason behind Danny's foul mood.

Steve said "What is this, are you sensitive now?"

Danny said "Um, ah yeah, maybe a little." Not able to look Steve in the eyes. Steve knew when Danny got in one of these jealous moods, he had to calm him down, but right now, this wasn't the time.

Steve said "OK, Danny, let's talk…..I only took Chin because he had seen the first victim; I only thought that seeing the second victim might help him remember where he had seen the first one. But it was what was found ON our second victim that triggered the memory for him, Ok, Danny?"

Danny begrudgingly said "OK, Steve, I understand."

Steve then replied, "Feel better now, Partner?"

Danny said "Yeah, let's get going, huh."

Steve and Danny are at the ME's office and Max is pointing out the markings on the back of the neck L2729. The victim has Carbon monoxide in her lungs, as well as in her skin cells, and that he's also found paper under the fingernails….and the paper seems to be a wax based.

Max said "Commander, Detective, I sent it to Charlie and hopefully he can find out what or where it comes from."
Steve's phone rings and it turns out that it is Kono and she has something that Steve needs to see.

Steve tells Danny "That was Kono she has something for me to see. Danny go back HQ and see if you get determine what L2729 is all about, and I'll join you there as soon as I can."

Steve goes to see Kono who is at the crime lab reviewing and preparing a car to show Steve what she had found out.

Kono said "Yeah boss, can you give hand here?" She opened the trunk and gets in as Steve looks at her like she is nuts. Kono then adds "Close it Boss, it's ok, trust me."

Steve closes the trunk of the car and within a minute, Kono opens the trunk and jumps out. Steve sees something and takes closer look at it.

Steve said "An emergency handle?"

Kono said "It's a perfect match to the one that our first victim had clutched in her hand, see?"

Steve said "Oh, I see, so Amy Sinclair was transported in the trunk of car." He has a look of confusion on his face.

Kono said "A Ford stand build before 2006 and after 2003….that's the only kind of car with this kind of emergency handle. I'm thinking that maybe Elizabeth Roan was transported in the trunk of the car as well, that would explain the Carbon monoxide poisoning."

Steve said "The levels of CO were high on both victims; their car's would have had to be modified so that the gas could be pumped directly into the trunk and it was somehow sealed."

Kono said "Yes, I agree, and maybe that worked with Elizabeth Roan but something happen with Amy Sinclair….and she didn't get right level of CO."

Steve said "She got up somehow, and grabbed the emergency handle. The killer must have seen the back open and he went back to finish the job."

Kono said "I agree, that would explain the strangulation marks on victim Two that we didn't see on the first victim."

Steve said "The MO on both victims were the same but with Amy he must have made a mistake."

Kono said "It's a good thing she held on to the handle as evidence."

Steve said "Hey, while we are here let's go see what Charlie has for us."

They make their way to see Fong and when they get there, the crime fighters find their friend looking into the microscope.

Kono said "Hey Charlie, you got anything for us?" Charlie looks up and sees Steve and Kono standing next to him he tells them,

Charlie tells them "The paper that Max found has words on it; this one say 'rights or rises' and the other one, I think it says 'obey'."

Steve said "Maybe she scratched these off from where she was held. Okay Kono, work with Charlie and try to work out where these words came from and I am going to head back to HQ fill Danny and Chin in on what we found out so far."

When Steve got back to HQ Bethany Morris was waiting from him with copy of the newspaper in her hand. There in the front page headline read 'Serial Killer Investigation'.

Mrs. Morris tells Steve "After our talk yesterday I blogged telling them I have source who's keeping me in the loop and now I look like an idiot."

Steve said "This story did not come from me, I'm not a source for anyone."

Bethany said "Yeah but they have information about this case and that means you should have known I trusted you."

Steve said "There are more important things going on here, they're are two dead people!"

Bethany said "I understand that, and I want to write about them. Who they are, what their families are going though, things of that nature."

Steve said "When I have something really important to write about, then I give you call; not a minute sooner!"

Danny walked into his office and in his hand was a file, "Steve, is this bad time?"

Steve said "No, Danny, Ms. Morris was just leaving, weren't you?"

When Bethany Morris finally left Steve closed the door and Danny tells him "I ran a nationwide search on the MO and I got a hit. Six months ago a body washed up on the shore of New Jersey, and so I called a friend of mine from the force and he send me this file. The victim was female with CO poisoning and she was wrapped in tarp, just like our victims. She was lawyer for Banning LLP named her name was Ann Caroll. Maybe there is a connection."

Steve said "A female victim who was not real estate agent, Okay anything else?"

Danny said "Yeah she had something Elizabeth Roan had." Danny said and showed Steve the photo of victim's neck where the markings were and there it was again, the letters L2729."

Steve said "Killer wrapped the victim in a tarp, first Ann Caroll and Amy Sinclair, then Elizabeth Roan."

Danny said "But Amy did not have these marking on her, wonder why that is."

Steve adds "That we saw. remember, she had good amount of her skin take off by the shark….."

Steve calls Charlie and Danny tells him "What if Amy Sinclair has these marks the same as Ann and Elizabeth?"

Steve said "Then I think that the killer is trying to tell us something. What, I'm not sure, but the sooner we figure it out, the better."

Danny said "I think I ran every angle and I came up empty on the L2729. But you're Naval intelligence, you know more about codes and number clues than I do. Or should we call your Supergirl, Catherine for her thoughts?"

Steve tells Charlie about the body in New Jersey and the markings and he asked Max to take another look at first victim's neck. Charlie tells Steve that he didn't find additional skin and Steve told him to look into intestines.

Steve said "The marks show that it was made by shape object."

Charlie said "I found some traces, it comes back as slate. It matched the traces that were found on last victim's clothing."

Chin came in tell them that he got more in the guy Chester Martin that there is a red flag on him for sexual assault and he lied about knowing Elizabeth Roan. "When I talked to him he signed the visit log on an open house the same day Elizabeth was killed."
