Back at the lab, everybody went to work on there separate case. Calleigh began to take out all the evidence she and Horatio collected while he went to talk to the others. He could see that Walter and Eric had been back a while because they had almost analyzed all they had. He walked in to talk to them.

"So what do you have?" he asked

"Our victim is 25 years old, and Tom said she died from a gunshot to the back of her head" Eric informed Horatio. When Eric could see that Horatio was looking weird he asked why.

"Eric, that's the exact same thing Calleigh and I found at the Golf Club." Horatio said and went out the door and over to the next room, where Natalia an Ryan was, with Eric following.

"Is your victim 25 and has a gunshot wound to the back of her head?" Horatio said walking in the door. Natalia and Ryan looked at each other then at Eric before answering Horatio.

"H, how did you know that?" Ryan asked

"Because we have a serial killer here." he answered

"WHAT?" Natalia asked, shocked

"All three of or victims was killed the same way and they have the same age. Meet me in 5 minutes in my office" Horatio said and left the room. The three left just stared at each other before preparing to the meeting.

In Horatio's Office

Soon they all stood in Horatio's office looking at each other. Walter and Calleigh didn't know what was really going on, but had an idea. Why bring them all together if their cases weren't related. Horatio was the first to break the silence

"So we have a serial killer on our hands. All three of our victims have the same age and died the same way. Was there anything at the crime scene that can help us catch the killer?" he asked

"We found some fingerprints on a piece of paper near the victim, but we don't know who's it is. I'm running it through the database right now" Walter said.

"We didn't find anything" Calleigh said. Now they all turned to Ryan and Natalia hoping they found something more than they had right now.

"Well, we did find some DNA, but so far I haven't gotten a result yet" Natalia said

"Other than that.. nothing" Ryan added.

"So we have nothing, unless the fingerprint and DNA come back positive" Eric stated.

"Lets not get our hopes down, we still have to talk to Tom about our victims. Maybe he has some thing we can use" Calleigh said. They all hoped that Tom would find something they could use. Right at that moment everybodies phones went off.

"That's the DNA result. We better check on that Ryan" Natalia said walking out the door with Ryan hot on her heels.

"We got to go too, fingerprint came back" Walter said pushing Eric out the door.

"We better go too, Tom just texted me. He has something for us" Horatio said walking out the door too, with Calleigh following.

In the DNA lab

"Okay lets see what we got" Natalia said looking up at Ryan for a quick second before looking at the computer.

"So what does it say?" Ryan asked after some time. He could see Natalia's wheels turning in her head.

"You haven't got much patience do you?" Natalia said with a little laugh, which made Ryan smile. He would always smile when Natalia laughed, she looked so pretty and the loved the way it sounds.

"Yes I do, just not when we have a serial killer on the loose and we have nothing that can help us catch him." Ryan said firm, but with a little laugh himself. He couldn't get mad or angry at her.

"I'm sorry Ryan. But maybe this can make this day better. We have a match to the DNA and he's in the system." Natalia said and as soon as she said it, she could feel Ryan moving closer. He was leaning over Natalia to she what was on the computer, but all she could focus on was the goosebumps she had all over her body.

"And we know him" Ryan added when he saw the name and looked her in the eyes. Oh if she knew what those eyes did to him.

"That we do Ryan" Natalia said and he couldn't do anything but smile, again.

Across the Hall

"Walter do we have a hit." Eric asked looking at Walter who was bent over the computer typing away.

"Just wait one second" Walter said. Eric took at look around and saw Ryan and Natalia in the other room. Ryan was smiling at something Natalia said and soon Ryan was standing behind her and looking over her shoulder at the computer. He couldn't she Natalia's face, but from her reacting he could see she got goosebumps.

"Ohh, interesting" Eric said out loud

"Yes isn't it. We know who killed those girls. This fingerprint proves it" Walter said talking about the computer not what was going on in the other room.

"What?" Eric said

"I thought you were with me. What where you talking about?" Walter asked looking at Eric.

"I... uhm... What where you saying again? We know who did this?" Eric asked trying to change the subject and quickly looking away from Natalia en Ryan, but too late Walter saw where his eyesight was and looked the same way.

"Ohh, you're right. That is interesting" Walter said and got a look from Eric, that said back to business.

"Okay, yeah I get it, back to the case. Well according to the fingerprint we found near the victim we have our killer. He's been arrested for murder before, just got out last month." Walter read from the file

"Okay, lets go tell the others. Hopefully we all have something now that can link him to the murder" Eric said walking out of the room.

The ME's Office

Horatio and Calleigh walked through the doors to the autopsy. They saw Tom standing between all the three bodies. They walked up to him and looked at the girls on the tables.

"They all have the same COD. Gunshot wound on the back of their heads. I would say you are looking for one killer." Tom said to the two CSIs

"What about TOD?" Calleigh asked

"They were killed within 10 minutes of each other. I would say that they were killed and then dumped. There weren't that much blood left in them and from the crime scenes I have seen there weren't that much blood there, so I would say the crime scenes are a secondary crime scene." Tom said

"Yes I would say that too. Thank you Tom" Horatio said and left with Calleigh.

"Tell the others that we will have a meeting in my office in 5 minutes" Horatio said to Calleigh when they reached there floor in the elevator.

So how do you like this chapter? I put in a flirty moment between Nat and Ryan, hope you like it. Stay tuned :D
