Chapter 4
Searching Natalie's house
Elisa's POV
After I dropped off the computer at the precinct, I gathered a team to take with me to Natalie's house. The technician assured me that he would be careful with it. I told the Captain my plans. We would go to Natalie's first then see if she had any relatives to contact. We loaded up then set off.
Natalie lived a penthouse apartment a few miles uptown. It took an hour and half to get there. I showed the landlord the warrant. We were taken up to the penthouse floor. One of the guys taped off the area and we went in.
We spilt off, searching the house for any evidence. I was the lead detective so they would report anything they found to me. Natalie's apartment was fairly clean and organized. I checked the living room. It had wood furniture and a green couch. I hadn't found anything unusual. I was trying to decide what to do next.
"Detective Maza!" One of the guys called.
They were in the hallway. The closet door was open and some things were shoved to the side. I looked inside. There was a large box filled with guns. A few hand guns and a rifle were on top. They didn't look like they were used recently.
"Well, this doesn't clear up anything." I frowned.
The pile of guns sat, gathering more dust. It was odd, but sometimes people thought they could get away with things once they were in charge. This was something to come back to as it wasn't immediately relevant to the case at hand. I mentally cataloged them and turned away.
"Alright, get these bagged!" I went deeper into the house.
I found Natalie's bedroom and the bathroom. The bathroom had nothing of interest. Natalie's room was a gray-ish blue. I searched the room. I found her laptop and that was pretty much it. We took the laptop and guns back with us. As I drove away, I felt a strange feeling settle in my stomach; unsure of what Natalie was involved in.
