What's going on Mac"?, asked "H". "I think we have a Cult Serial Killer in NY". "What"? "You're kidding right"? "I'm afraid not". "This morning at the underpass, a 23yr old female was tortured, with the Pentagon and Symbolic symbol's all over her body, before he stabbed her through the heart". "Christ Mac", any evidence"? I'm not sure, I'm heading down to the Crime Lab now to check". "Well then let's go". Mac was feeling relief that "H" was there with him, because this was one case, Mac didn't wish to handle alone. Besides he wanted "H"s feedback on the new guy Peter trek. Just something about that guy, made Mac feel uncomfortable.
When Mac and "H" got to the Crime lab, Danny was working trace with the new guy.
"Danny, what do you have"? "Blood smeared pattern on the vic's shirt, a few prints around the soil, which the new guy is working on". "That's about it". "Oh, Sid is waiting for you downstairs". "Thanks Danny". "Who's this new guy"? asked "H". "I'm not sure, don't know to much about him yet, though he does give me a weird vibe". "Hmm, Let's go meet him then". "When they got down to the print lab, they could smell a hint of smoke. "What the hell is burining in here, said Mac. "I'm sorry Det. Taylor", the prints got destroyed, my arm hit the burner there and must have turned it on". "How would that ruin the prints"? "I had them sitting on there". "I'm really sorry Det. Taylor".
Mac picked up his phone and paged Danny. "Messer"! "Danny it's Mac, go back to the crime scene and gather up more prints from that soil". "You're kidding right Mac"? "No, I'm not Messer, just do it". "That's going to be impossible Mac". "That new guy stepped all over the crime scene". "What the hell", fine Danny". "You", Mac said pointing at Trek, "One more screw up and you're fired". "Do you understand"? "Yes Sir". Mac left the Lab with "H" hot on is tail. "I'm telling you "H", something with that guy just doesn't fit". "I hear you Mac, have you looked into his background"? "Not yet, that's what I'm about to do now".
As Mac and "H" checked in to Trek's background, he could find nothing on him.
"He's clean "H", nothing, It just doesn't make sense, something about him bother's me". "Well the only thing you can do is keep an eye on him". I'll let Danny and Flack know too, let's go see Sid". "What have you got Sid"? "Not alot Mac, the body has been cleaned with bleach, this girl must have really suffered, you've got a sick one out there, pouring bleach on her body after slicing it up, goes beyond anything I've ever seen, and I've seen alot". "So what you're telling me, is we have nothing"? "I'm sorry Mac, but yeah, at this time we have nothing".
Once Mac and "H", finished at the Lab they headed home. "Stella, we're home", said Mac. "How was your day"? asked Stella. "Not good, the new guy really bother's me, just something about him say's eerie". "He destroyed evidence, by being clumsy, if I could fire him I would, but we are so short staffed with Hawkes gone and Lindsey still on Maternity leave". "It will work out Mac, give him some time, he must be nervous as hell, especially if he heard all those stories about you". "What stories"? asked Mac. "I'm just kidding love, come and relax". "Stella, where is Calleigh"? She's in the Kitchen baking away". "She's supposed to be off her feet". "I know, but she's impossible to keep down". "I know", said "H".
Sweetheart, what are you doing up"? asked "H". "I felt like baking today"? "You know you are supposed to be resting". "I know Handsome, but I'm unsettled today, so I need to bake". "Okay, where are the kids"? "Hjr and Marisol, went to the Mall with Claire", they'll be back at supper" and the little ones are playing in the Den". Horatio walked over and kissed his wife's neck, "When you are done there, you will rest". "I promise Handsome", said Calleigh.
(At the Mall)
"Marisol, HJr. , this is Thomas he's my friend from school". "Hello", said Thomas. Poor Marisol was dumbstruck, she never seen any guy look so Handsome as Thomas. Thomas was having the same reaction as Marisol. "HJr, said Claire, I think they're in love"? "You may be right". "Listen guy's, how about we go play some video games"? said Thomas. "Sound's great said HJr. As they all headed over to the Arcade, Claire and HJr, held hands. "So Marisol what do you like to do"? asked Thomas. "Watch movies, play video games, dance, and any kind of sports". "Wow, said Thomas, you must keep really busy at school". "Yeah, I love after school activities". "Maybe tomorrow we can all take in a show"?, "sounds great to me", said Marisol. "I'll have to check with my parent's first", said Marisol. "That's cool, here's my number, give me a call". "I will Thomas". As they entered the Arcade, Thomas took Marisol's hand as she smiled shyly.
"Oh my God", said Claire, "look at the time", we need to get home now". As they were leaving the Mall, Thomas kissed Marisol on the cheek. "Don't forget to call me later"? "I won't Thomas". After Thomas went home, Claire asked Marisol what she thought of Thomas.
"So what do you think Mari"? asked Claire. "He's very cute", I like him". "Yeah"!, if Dad finds out you let a boy kiss you, he'll ground you for life". Marisol knew HJr was right, "So how am I going to see him tomorrow"? asked Marisol. "Don't worry Mari, we'll all go to the show tomorrow, that way Uncle "H" won't be suspicious". "Thanks Claire".
