:lol: Whew, long review huh? :p

That's alright, I love reading what y'all thought of the chapters. :D - Also if you have any qualms, don't be afraid to let me know. I don't bite. ;)

And YAY Katie! You are the master of being the teehee-ing machine. :D And HECK YES time flies. Woo!

Before The Doors Close

Interrogation

Colton: *sits down*

Stetler: So...What were you doing at the bank?

Colton: Withdrawing funds.

Stetler: How much?

Horatio: Seargent Stetler, he does not have to answer that question as it does not pertain to the case at hand.

Stetler: I don't tell you how to do your job Horatio.

Horatio: Actually you do so I'd advise you to do yours properly.

Stetler: *looks at Colton* What kind of gun do you have?

Colton: Standard police issue 9 millimeter.

Stetler: Standard police issue. Sounds very official doesn't it? I didn't know you were a cop.

Colton: Lieutenant Caine hired me.

Stetler: Was this before or after you were in prison for attempted murder of a police officer?

Colton: After, sir.

Stetler: So you don't like cops.

Colton: That was a long time ago.

Stetler: Morphine poisoning, that's pretty hateful isn't it?

Horatio: Seargent Stetler...

Stetler: Right, right I forgot. It has to pertain to this case.

Colton: I don't see why what happened years ago has anything to do with what happened this morning. I'm not the criminal.

Stetler: How about little Lori. You took her and sent her to be a prostitute in a foreign country.

Colton: This doesn't have anything to do w-

Stetler: It does.

Colton: No it doesn't! A bunch of guys ran into the bank and killed a kid! Why does that make me a criminal!

Stetler: Maybe you planned it with them. I mean, you conveniently happened to be in the ban-

Horatio: Rick, that's enough.

Stetler: Do I have to get Speedle in here and testify to what he did?

Horatio: That was years ago. Speedle doesn't have anything to do with it. This is about the bank robbery so stay on task before I remove you from my lab.

Stetler: Colton, did you get an innocent person killed.

Colton: You might want to phrase that a little better.

Stetler: Did a child get murdered while you were at a standoff with one of the suspects.

Colton: Yes.

Stetler: What did the suspect say to you?

Colton: He told me to pick.

Stetler: And did you?

Colton: I told him to kill me instead.

Stetler: Well obviously he didn't listen.

Colton: No he didn't.

Stetler: And you're sure your bullet didn't hit the kid.

Colton: What?

Stetler: You shot your gun, correct?

Colton: Yeah I did.

Stetler: Where'd the bullet go?

Colton: I wasn't really paying attention to where the bullet was going.

Stetler: So you could have killed the kid.

Colton: He dropped before I shot the gun.

Stetler: Maybe you remember wrong. I mean, you weren't even paying attention to where you were shooting, how can you be expected to know when the kid dropped?

Colton: I saw the robber shoot the kid. He dropped, I shot my gun and the guy fled.

Stetler: So it's one criminal's word against another criminal.

Colton: No, it's the criminal's actions against a cop's word.

Stetler: Unfortunately, you'll be seen as a jail bird yourself so you're out of luck.

Colton: *frowns*

Stetler: I need your badge and your gun.

Bank

Calleigh: *picks up casing* Looks like a .45

Delko: The shooter's gun?

Calleigh: Yeah.

Delko: So this is where the kid dropped.

Calleigh: Alexx said that the kid had two gunshot wounds.

Delko: Two?

Calleigh: Cause of death was the shot to the chest. The other round hit the kid's arm.

Delko: Does Alexx know which bullets did the damage?

Calleigh: One looks like a 9 millimeter.

Delko: ...Colton's gun.

Calleigh: The other shooters might have had 9 mils too.

Delko: I hear IAB's going after him pretty hard.

Calleigh: That's their job.

Delko: Well he's one of us but...He's also a criminal.

Calleigh: I think his intentions are good ones.

Delko: Tell Speedle that. He almost killed him. Took his daughter.

Calleigh: I think our main task is to process the crime scene.

Delko: Alright.

Calleigh: *shines flashlight around* ...Bullet hole in the wall.

Delko: *walks over* 9 mil or .45?

Calleigh: 9 mil.

Delko: *hands laser to Calleigh*

Calleigh: *places laser into hole*

Laser is turned on, the trajectory points to the back of the bank, past the teller's desk

Delko: Do we know where Colton was standing?

Calleigh: Speed's got the security footage now.

AV Lab

Horatio: Okay Speed talk to me.

Speed: *sigh* Well, there's not much I can decypher. Footage got grainy about a minute and a half after the guys entered the bank so we're not going to be able to get exact positions on the shooters.

Horatio: What about the kid. Can you see him in any of it?

Speed: *typing*

Horatio: *squints*

Speed: You see him fall, but it got grainy just before the shot was taken.

Horatio: And there's no audio on the tapes.

Speed: No these are old school recordings. They were still using VHS tapes.

Horatio: *shifts positions*

Speed: And they say it was a high security bank.

Horatio: Wait a second, roll back the film.

Speed: *types*

Horatio: ...

Speed: ...

Horatio: What in the hell is that?

Speed: Looks like a truck pulled up.

Horatio: Can you run plates?

Speed: It's going to be rough with this kind of tape. I could get Tyler in here to work at it.

Horatio: Do that.

Speed: The thing is boss, the guys who entered the bank, they never demanded any money. No one gave them a bag, and they didn't bring one.

Horatio: Okay so the question becomes why rob a bank and forget about the money.

Interview room

Megan: *hands over coffee*

Jess: Thanks.

Megan: *sits down* Alright, so tell me what happened to the best of your knowledge.

Jess: ...We had entered the bank at approximately 9 am. Colton wanted to withdraw some money at the teller because he hates ATM machines.

Megan: So this was right before the bank robbers entered.

Jess: Yeah. They came in with these big guns just shooting the ceiling, and I remember that the two main guys were the only ones who spoke.

Megan: What about Colton, what did he do when the shooting started?

Jess: He identified himself as MDPD, drew his weapon, and didn't fire right away. He wanted to negotiate with the robbers into letting everyone go.

Megan: Why did the bad guy shoot the kid?

Jess: I don't know. He made Colton choose between me and the kid.

Megan: And did he choose?

Jess: Yeah he chose himself. But the guy said time's up, and shot the kid anyway.

Megan: And when did Colton start shooting?

Jess: Right after the guy shot the kid.

Megan: Not during, or before?

Jess: ...

Megan: You're not sure?

Jess: ...I remember hearing three gunshots.

Megan: Three.

Jess: Yes, three.

Megan: You're sure?

Jess: Positive.

Megan: Did you ever draw your weapon?

Jess: No.

Megan: Why not?

Jess: ...My gun...It's...It's not clean. I didn't want to have to use it.

Megan: You didn't clean your service pistol.

Jess: I forgot. I didn't know I was going to need it.

Megan: You know, Jess this does happen often. Officers can sometimes neglect some of their smaller responsibilities. Except it is protocol that all service pistols be cleaned at least once a month. So you haven't cleaned it since then.

Jess: ...Am I in trouble for it?

Megan: You could be fined 500 dollars and have a mark on your record. Your gun would be taken away as well.

Jess: *wide-eyed*

Megan: But since this doesn't pertain to the case, I'm going to let it slide. This once.

Jess: ...*sigh*

Megan: Thanks for your help.

TBC................
 
Oh wow...I saved Jess, but I killed a kid. Jess nailed it when she said that I was feeling major guilt, at the least the me me would. The RT me I'm not sure, but umm....where was I going with this?

Oh! Tripp.....Get off my back. It's not like you haven't made mistakes before. Like...uhh....well I can't think of any right now, but I know you made em, so :p

And uh-oh. I'm talking to Stetler now. That CANNOT be good. *is worried about RT me*

Great updates Geni. Update soon.

Edit: Posted right as Geni updated.

Ok. Knew having Stetler question me was a bad idea. Man...I wish I had gotten Megan.

I could've actually killed the kid...Wow...Way to make me feel even guiltier. :lol:

Update soon. :)
 
*hugs Colton* Why do you feel guilty when you h.... :lol: Okay I have to stop watching Dispo Day. :p

Muaha. Most of the credit for the idea goes to Jess though. She is my muse. :)

Well, most of the time. :p

I Get Lost And I Can't Sleep

Ballistics, one hour later

Speed picks up Jess' gun. He pulls out the magazine, and verifies that there are 16 bullets. None missing. Protocol says a test fire must be performed in order to protect the chain of evidence.

Speed lifts the weapon at the firing station, and pulls the trigger

Click, click

Speed: *looks down at gun*

Calleigh: *walks in* Hey do you have Colton's service pistol?

Speed: Yeah it's on the table.

Calleigh: *smiles* Great.

Stetler: *walks in* Speedle. I need the report on Jessica's weapon.

Speed: Actually I haven't started yet.

Calleigh: *looks at Speed*

Speed: *glances at Calleigh*

Stetler: What have you been doing for the past hour?

Speed: I was working the security footage for Horatio.

Stetler: I'll check back in an hour. *leaves*

Calleigh: *looking down at Colton's gun* You just started, it must have taken you a long time in AV.

Speed: Yeah.

Calleigh: You going to hand Stetler the report right away?

Speed: Yeah after I clean this gun.

Calleigh: *looks at Speed* Tim that's evidence.

Speed: I know.

Calleigh: *nods* Okay. You didn't tell me anything.

Speed: Hey I didn't even notice you walked in.

Calleigh: Good.

Autopsy

Delko: Alright Alexx, tell me something good.

Alexx: Unfortunately baby, all I have is bad news.

Delko: ...How so?

Alexx: The fatal gunshot? Was from a 9 millimeter bullet. The shoulder shot was from a bigger gun.

Delko: Like a .45

Alexx: That's what I thought initially. But the shot to the arm was mangled and jagged so it made the wound larger. I dug another 9 millimeter out.

Delko: There was one shot in the wall. Are these through and throughs?

Alexx: I dug out the 9 mil bullets from the boy. They weren't through and throughs.

Delko: ....We found a 9 millimeter bullet in the wall.

Alexx: Then someone shot twice.

Delko: Which means the gunman with the .45 either missed, or only shot the ceiling and not the kid.

AV

Horatio: Tyler. The truck in the security footage.

Tyler: I was able to zoom up on the plates and get a partial number. I typed in the specs for the type of vehicle that it was, and then entered the numbers I could get off the plates into the database to compare.

Horatio: Did you find anything?

Tyler: The truck was a 2005 Chevy Yukon. It's registered to....*typing*

Horatio: *shifts positions*

Tyler: ...

Horatio: *staring at screen*

Tyler: Uh...

Horatio: Tyler, is there a chance you got the information wrong?

Tyler: No the software doesn't lie. The Yukon is registered to Eric Delko.

Horatio: *leaves*

Tyler: *looks behind* ...Don't shoot the messenger!

Layout room

Horatio: Eric, I need to talk to you.

Delko: Sure, what's up H?

Horatio: Where's your truck?

Delko: ...It's out in the parkinglot.

Horatio: Is it? Let's go take a look.

Delko: Alright.

Parkinglot

Horatio: Where is it Eric?

Delko: ...I don't see it.

Horatio: What do you mean you don't see it?

Delko: I parked here last night. I took an H2 home instead. *sigh* Oh man my gun was in there.

Horatio: Why wasn't your gun with you last night?

Delko: I must have taken off the holster when I went for my cell phone. It gets stuck in my pocket when I have it on. I ran inside and grabbed the keys for the H2.

Horatio: And forgot about your gun.

Delko: Yeah.

Horatio: Why didn't you report your truck stolen?

Delko: I didn't know it was stolen H. I got in as soon as I heard about the shooting.

Horatio: What did Alexx say?

Delko: Both shots in the boy were 9 mils.

Horatio: No .45s.

Delko: No, I figure the gunman missed.

Horatio: Call Katie and tell her to meet me at the crime scene.

Delko: What about me?

Horatio: You're a suspect.

Delko: I'm a what?

Horatio: You had better hope we find your truck and your gun. *puts on shades, walks away*

Crime scene

Horatio: *closes phone* Bullet in the wall is a match to Colton's gun.

Katie: What about the bullets in the kid?

Horatio: That is currently ongoing. *fiddling with shades*

Katie: Alright so what are we doing back?

Horatio: There was a truck parked outside during the shooting.

Katie: Which entrance?

Horatio: Front entrance. *walks over to front door*

Katie: *looks up at doorframe* Nothing's desturbed.

Horatio: ...In the video, the door was open.

Katie: *looks down at floor* There. Door stop.

Horatio: *looks down* So if there was a shot from outside,-

Katie: There wouldn't be evidence.

Horatio: Exactly, so we need to find the vehicle.

Katie: You can have Tripp put an APB out on it.

Horatio: Mhm.

Katie: ...What?

Horatio: The kid who was killed...What was he doing in a bank by himself?

Katie: His parents came down to the lab. They said he was with a friend.

Horatio: A friend, who's the friend?

Katie: The parents didn't know. All the boy said to them was that they were going to pick up some cash from the bank.

Horatio: Except there wasn't any other kids in the bank.

Katie: Maybe he was meeting someone.

Horatio: Gunmen walk in, start shooting the ceiling, threaten the kid, and them miss him I don't think so.

Katie: You think he was...With the gunmen? Paired up with them?

Horatio: They didn't ask for money.

Katie: Maybe they weren't here for the money.

Horatio: They were here for the kid.

Katie: He was the target.

Horatio: And the robbery...*puts on shades* The robbery was a distraction.

Ballistics

Speed: *walks in* Hey.

Calleigh: *smiles* Hey.

Speed: Horatio wants to know about those bullets.

Calleigh: The 9 mil pulled out of the kid's heart isn't a match to Colton's weapon, but the arm shot is.

Speed: So he fired twice.

Calleigh: ...Well, yes and no.

Speed: Alright what do you mean.

Calleigh: Colton did in fact shoot his gun twice. When I examined the gun, I found traces of gunshot residue on the outside of the barrel.

Speed: Well, that usually happens when a shot is fired, right?

Calleigh: Yes but for this much residue to be expelled from the chamber, there had to have been two shots from the gun.

Speed: Okay I'm lost.

Calleigh: Colton's gun is a semi-automatic. That means the gun is capable of firing multiple shots without re-cocking the gun.

Speed: Alright, I'm with you so far.

Calleigh: His gun fired two rounds out of the chamber at the same time.

Speed: His gun malfunctioned.

Calleigh: Yeah.

Speed: So how did one round end up in the wall, and one round end up in his arm after he fell?

Calleigh: The shot that was fired into the kid's arm was jagged and distorted from behind.

Speed: *blank stare* ...And?

Calleigh: It was fired first. The bullet that was discharged accidentally, pushed against the first bullet and contorted it.

Speed: So the second shot went into the wall.

Calleigh: *nods*

Speed: So he lifted his gun to shoot, and pulled the trigger as the kid was falling.

Calleigh: And the second shot went into the wall after his arm was fully raised.

Speed: ...The shot in the kid's heart came from behind. There was no way Colton took the kill shot.

Calleigh: No. The shot came from outside in the truck.

Speed: The shot from the truck first, which made Colton believe that the robber was shooting his. So Colton fired, and his gun malfunctioned, causing two shots.

Calleigh: It explains why Jess thought she heard three shots.

Speed: I'll let Horatio know.

TBC...............
 
Yay Jess on the idea. :) Wow...I'm glad I'm not the only suspect along with Jess.

I'm not the killer *does a happy dance* But I was still "irresponsible and I shouldn't have gotten involved* :rolleyes:

Update soon. :)
 
Broken Inside

Access road, Miami

Horatio: Is this Delko's truck?

Tripp: Patrol found it this evening. Plates match the partial you guys got off the security footage.

Horatio: You guys check the interior?

Tripp: We were waitin' on you.

Horatio: *pulls on latex glove*

Tripp: And here I thought you were allergic to latex.

Horatio: *opens truck door*

Tripp: *looks inside*

Horatio: *clicks on flashlight*

Tripp: Looks clean.

Horatio: Well Frank looks...*shines light on passenger side panel* Looks can be deceiving.

Tripp: What'd you find?

Horatio: Gunshot residue on the passenger side panel.

Tripp: The passenger shot the gun. So there were two people in the truck. Can't you test for prints or DNA to find whoever had the gun?

Horatio: Results would be conflicting.

Tripp: Hell maybe Delko killed the kid.

Horatio: DNA and prints won't help us, we need the gun.

Tripp: Good luck. Whoever dumped the truck is long gone by now.

Horatio: *frowns*

Lounge, 7 pm

Jess: *sits down* How are you holding up?

Colton: I'm not.

Jess: I heard IAB was rough on you.

Colton: You could say that.

Jess: Has anyone talked to you about the case yet?

Colton: No. You?

Jess: *shakes head* No.

Colton: *sigh* I just want to know what happened. I mean, I got that kid killed whether I pulled the trigger or not.

Jess: The team will figure it out.

Colton: You really think they're going to help me? I'm a criminal.

Jess: No. No you're not a criminal. You're a police officer.

Colton: *shakes head* It doesn't matter what I do to make up for what happened years ago. I'm still a murderer.

Jess: I don't believe that. What you did back there in the bank...No one I know has that many guts. No one I know is that brave.

Colton: *looks at Jess*

Jess: You saved the lives of everyone else in there without a thought. You saved my life.

Colton: *stares at Jess*

Jess: ...You should be getting a medal if you ask me.

Colton: ...

Jess: ...

Colton: *leans closer*

Jess: ...

Colton: *kisses Jess*

Interview room, next morning

Stetler: So, why did you decide to take a Hummer back to your place?

Delko: It's got a police radio in it, it's big, and I'm used to driving them. I take them home all the time.

Stetler: And you just...Happened to leave you gun lying around.

Delko: It wasn't lying around.

Stetler: Nah, it was in your truck safe and sound right? The same truck that was stolen.

Delko: So I'm getting grilled because someone else stole my truck.

Stetler: Well...Delko, it was in the MDPD parkinglot. How many criminals do you know of think to steal a vehicle from a police department?

Delko: Maybe they thought there would be a gun in it. You know, considering it was at the police department.

Stetler: So you left your gun in there on purpose.

Delko: That's not what I said.

Stetler: Your gun was used to kill a kid.

Delko: We don't know that for certain and even if my gun was the murder weapon, I was at the lab when the shooting happened.

Stetler: Can anyone confirm this?

Delko: Speedle can. He was with me all morning.

Ballistics

Katie: *sitting at computer*

Horatio: *walks in* You paged me.

Katie: Yeah, I was sitting here thinking about the case and how we needed Eric's gun to confirm the bullet. So, I realized that IAB has investigated cases before where officers shot thier guns. Test fires had to be logged.

Horatio: And you found Eric's test fire from a previous case.

Katie: Yeah. So I ran the bullet.

Horatio: Is it a match?

Katie: No. It's not. So I triple checked just to make sure and well...Whoever shot the kid, didn't use Eric's gun. His 9 mil isn't the murder weapon.

Horatio: So he's in the clear.

Katie: Yeah but that's not why I paged you. The bullet did match someone else's gun.

Horatio: *frowns*

Interview room

Megan: Your gun is the murder weapon.

Calleigh: I don't know what you mean.

Megan: The bullet that killed the kid, came from your service pistol.

Calleigh: That's impossible. My gun's been in my locker for two days.

Megan: Have you checked your locker recently?

Calleigh: ...

Megan: Look, I don't think you killed the kid. But your gun was involved in the murder.

Calleigh: I don't know how someone could have stolen my gun.

Megan: You didn't have it with you when you went to the scene?

Calleigh: No and neither did Eric. I figured we both must have forgotten.

Megan: ...You forgot to wear your service pistol in the field.

Calleigh: I made a mistake.

Megan: That seems to keep happening around here.

Calleigh: I don't know what happened but I know I didn't kill that child.

Megan: I believe you. Which is why we need to figure this out fast before you end up getting fired.

Locker room

Anni: *printing locker*

Katie: *walks over* Hey is this Calleigh's locker?

Anni: Yeah. I heard about Calleigh. She's been relieved of duty too?

Katie: Yeah just like Eric, Colton, and Jess. You find any prints?

Anni: Yeah a couple of perfect juicy ones.

Katie: ...Perfect prints on a locker?

Anni: Whoever touched the locker wasn't sloppy, and they knew which locker to open. None of the other ones have been disturbed.

Katie: Alright, well Horatio's talking to the parents of the kid, so you run those prints and page me when you get the results.

Anni: Will do.

Atrium

Horatio: We think your son was targeted.

Mother: ...What do you mean targeted? Why would people be targeting him?

Father: He said he was going to meet some friends that he met over the internet.

Horatio: ...Over the internet.

Mother: Yes, he's been talking with a couple of boys for the past two years and they decided to finally meet at a bank in Miami so they could withdraw some money to go to Orlando for the weekend.

Horatio: Ma'am, we think the people your son met over the internet were the bank robbers.

Mother: What?

Father: No that's impossible.

Horatio: Your son was murdered and the robbery was the distraction. So, what else was your son into?

Mother: He was 16. What could he have possibly been into with bank robbers?

Horatio: We're going to find out but I need your son's computer. Will you allow my team to take a look at it?

Mother: Yes.

Fingerprint lab

Katie: Hey you paged me. Got the results?

Anni: Yeah.

Katie: That was fast.

Anni: It didn't take long.

Katie: AFIS?

Anni: *shakes head* Employee database.

Katie: *looks at computer screen* ...

Anni: The prints on Calleigh's locker belong to Tim Speedle.

Katie: *grabs cellphone* Something tells me there's more to this case than meets the eye.

Anni: How so?

Katie: Horatio's wrong. The target wasn't the kid, it's the police department.

TBC................
 
Are we getting the whole lab involved in this murder? :lol: Ok. I am officially speechless other than that. I mean, I kissed Jess...Not that there is anything wrong with Jess, but...I kissed her.

Great job on this Geni. Just wanted to add that in. :)

Update soon. :)
 
Carly you crack me up. You should be the mascot of this thread or something. You and Katie. You can wear the giant R and Katie and wear the giant T, and you can jump up and down on spot and cheer or something.
Click to expand...
Haha, I can just imagine the look on my friends faces if I turned up somewhere wearing a shirt with a giant R on it and then randomly started jumping up and down and cheering :lol:...Oh man, I should SO do that!

Awwwww, poor Colton and Jess. Don't worry Colton, I'm sure you didn't get that kid killed! well, at least I'd hope not...Ok, the whole lab? Maybe I didn't read it wrong, but I'm a little confused...I mean, sorta get it...Erics truck, Calleighs gun, Speeds prints, Colton and Jess...but I still don't really get it...or maybe thats the point. I'm sure it will all be explained in due time :)

And oh yeah! Caitlin is such a cutie!! So small and cute and small and cute!

please update soon
 
I meant the major characters/peoples. The only people who haven't been implicated are Horatio, Katie, Anni, and Carly. But time is still a ticking. ;)
 
*holds up hands like Slater* I didn't do it I swear! lol. Hmm...this case is certainly putting the lab in a bit of a pickle isn't it? But I just want to take a moment to say that I love Stetler. I know he's a jerk but thats why I love him. He rocks in interrogation. Teehee. Hmm..Delko's truck was stolen and his gun but he didn't kill anyone. Calleigh's gun killed the kid but she didn't do it and Tim's prints were on the locker. If Tim stole the gun I think he'd atleast use gloves. Hmm...tricky tricky. Update soon please.
 
Oh my goodness this case keeps getting wierder and wierder. First me and Colton, then Eric, then Calleigh and now Speed?!?! If Stetler had been interviewing Calleigh, she would have gotten it a lot worse, so I'm glad Megan was in there.

0_0 Colton......kissed me......*high fives Colton* :lol: Oh man, this plot has to have the most twists I've ever read, and I love it! Good job Geni, I hope you update soon!
 
I'm glad y'all are enjoying it. :D

Nobody's Fool

Interrogation room

Megan: Have a seat.

Speed: I'll stand.

Megan: Alright, your choice. I understand your prints were found on Detective Duquesne's locker.

Speed: So?

Megan: Her gun was the murder weapon.

Speed: *frowns*

Megan: Did you open her locker?

Speed: Yes ma'am I did.

Megan: Why?

Speed: Horatio wanted Calleigh's gun.

Megan: ...Lieutenant Caine asked for her weapon.

Speed: That's what I just said.

Megan: Why?

Speed: He didn't tell me why.

Megan: Did he speak to you personally, did he phone you?

Speed: He texted me.

Megan: Texted you.

Speed: Yeah.

Megan: And you didn't find that suspicious?

Speed: He's done it before, granted not very often.

Megan: And where did you put the gun?

Speed: ...

Megan: Speedle, where did you put the gun.

Speed: Eric's truck.

Megan: *shakes head* Horatio didn't text you. It was someone else.

Speed: It was his number.

Megan: Then the Lieutenant has a few questions to answer.

Atrium

Stetler: Well Lieutenant you sure did it this time.

Horatio: I don't know what you mean.

Stetler: You texted Speedle to open Calleigh's locker and put her gun in Delko's truck.

Horatio: ...I never did anything of the sort.

Stetler: Where's your phone?

Horatio: It's in my pocket.

Stetler: Where was in two days ago?

Horatio: In my office.

Stetler: Why was it not with you?

Horatio: I didn't know it had to be with me at all times.

Stetler: Someone used your phone and texted Speedle to put the murder weapon which happens to be Detective Duquesne's gun in Delko's stolen truck. You want to explain that to a jury?

Horatio: Rick there are ways to figure out who did this. If you would stop interfering with my investigati-

Stetler: Your investigation? No. This has just turned into my investigation. You're relieved of duty until further notice.

Horatio: Rick, we can figure out what happened.

Stetler: As far as I'm concerned, you and your team were in on this. So go home before I call security. *walks away*

Horatio: *frowns*

AV lab

Katie: Anni, tell me something we can use.

Anni: Well I examined the kid's computer. He had thousands of MSN conversations with some guy named 'BR06'.

Katie: You read any of them?

Anni: Well with MSN, there's an option to save your conversations into a file for future reference. Most kids don't use that option.

Katie: So we don't know what they said.

Anni: Well hey Tyler's not the only one that can crack a code here and there.

Katie: *smiles* Alright what did you find?

Anni: MSN conversations over the past two months stored into the hard drive.

Katie: Good work.

Anni: Thanks. So anyway, I was reading some of them and they seem pretty normal. You know, the 'hey what's up', 'how's the weather' type of stuff. But it gets wierd about two weeks ago.

Katie: *squints* ....They're talking about meeting at Dade Mutual.

Anni: Yeah. And they were talking about something else too.

Katie: *reads computer screen* ...Snow? They were talking about snow.

Anni: *sigh* You SO grew up in the suburbs.

Katie: What are you talking about?

Anni: Snow is another nice way of saying 'cocaine'.

Katie: So the kid was in some pretty deep stuff.

Anni: Yeah then here they talk about robbing the bank. I'm guessing to buy more cocaine.

Katie: Except the kid got shot and died. So whoever killed him probably wasn't part of his team of robbers.

Anni: *nods*

Katie: Can you find out who sent the messages over MSN?

Anni: Great minds. I ran the IP Address. It came back to a Brian Rowe.

Katie: BR06.

Anni: Exactly.

Katie: Where was it transmitting from?

Anni: I don't know. Speed's the computer guy. I can only get us this far.

Katie: *sits in chair* That looks like a business IP. The last digits mean that it was transmitting from somewhere in a business area.

Anni: ...Which business area?

Katie: *typing*

Anni: *moves over*

Katie: *clicks mouse* The signal's coming from downtown just off of Biscayne.

Anni: ....Alright how did you know how to do that?

Katie: You think I married the computer geek and didn't learn anything?

Anni: *smirks*

Katie: Looks like somewhere near the bank.

Anni: ...The bank robber works at the bank?

Katie: You'd be surprised how many times that happens.

Anni: So we look for this Brian Rowe guy and we arrest him.

Katie: Yeah. *looking down at phone*

Anni: What?

Katie: Tim and Horatio have been relieved of duty.

Anni: ...So what do we do?

Katie: We go with the case. But first we're going to need reinforcements.

Anni: I'll make a few phone calls.

Katie: Thanks.

Interrogation room

Brian: Okay so why am I here?

Tripp: You robbed your own bank.

Brian: What?

Tripp: Oh yeah what a surprise. We found a .45 in your car.

Brian: ...

Tripp: You're my bank robber aren't you?

Brian: *shrugs*

Tripp: You've been robbing banks all over Miami for the past month. You know the layout of them because you've been to all of them. You know, the fact that you're the manager of one of the biggest banks in South Florida.

Brian: *shakes head*

Yelina: *walks in* PD called. They found two grams of cocaine inside Mister Rowe's car as well as the .45

Brian: That's stuff's not mine.

Tripp: Right, you're holding it for a friend.

Yelina: Actually you were, weren't you Mister Rowe?

Brian: *looks at Yelina*

Yelina: The kid who was murdered during your little bank robbery? Was selling and buying cocaine. He was feeding your habit, as well as his own.

Brian: I didn't kill him.

Tripp: You might as well have pulled the trigger.

Yelina: Did you have any outside partners? Anyone with a grudge against the boy?

Brian: No. I work with four other guys and they all work at the bank.

Tripp: Someone outside shot the kid.

Brian: I didn't have a getaway vehicle. The plan was get in, take the money, and leave on foot through the back. We didn't know a couple of cops were going to be there so I decided to have a little fun.

Tripp: Well you just copped to a bank robbery, and I bet if I compare your face to the ones on the security footage of all the other banks, I'll be seeing you again. Get up.

Brian: *rolls eyes*

CSI Garage

Anni: Okay what are we looking for?

Josh: The murder weapon.

Anni: Horatio already went over the vehicle.

Josh: Well Katie told me he found gunshot residue on the passenger side panel. So that means whoever shot the gun was in the passenger seat.

Anni: ...And you think they stashed it?

Josh: If I wanted to implicate a few cops, I'd keep the murder weapon with the stolen truck.

Anni: *lifts seat* Well there's nothing under here.

Josh: *tilts head*

Anni: *looks at Josh* What.

Josh: That side panel looks loose.

Anni: It's an old truck.

Josh: *walks over, grabs camera*

Anni: *lifts brow*

Josh: *snaps pictures*

Anni: My aren't you well-versed in Crime Scene Investigation.

Josh: *grabs side panel, rips it off*

Gun falls out

Anni: *nods*

Josh: *picks up gun*

Anni: That's a gun.

Josh: That's the murder weapon.

Anni: I'll give it to Katie. *grabs gun*

Josh: *opens glove compartment*

Anni: What did you find?

Josh: Well Eric isn't the brightest.

Anni: *laughs* His gun in there?

Josh: Yeah and some porn.

Anni: Kinky.

Josh: *shakes head*

Anni: So Eric was telling the truth. He left his gun in here.

Josh: *shines flashlight on head rest of driver's seat*

Anni: You find something?

Josh: Looks like light hair.

Anni: Well Eric doesn't have light hair. So whoever was in the driver's seat has light hair.

Josh: Yeah and there's a fellicular tag attached. I'll get this to DNA.

Anni: Right now?

Josh: It's a priority.

Anni: It might not even lead to anything. Eric might have had a date in here who drove his truck while he was drunk, or something.

Josh: Well I try never to have expectations.

Anni: *lifts head, hits it on the truck* DAMNIT!

Josh: You okay?

Anni: *holding head* I'm super.

Oh. I feel guilty too. I forgot Josh. :lol: We still have Anni, Katie, and Josh on the case. :)

Update soon. :D
 
I love Rick too! He's so awesomly awesome. :D He might be a jerk at times, but underneath that cold and rotten exterior lies an even colder and more rotten interior. Which rocks my socks. :devil:

:lol: Hey Colton, what about Missy and JC? :p Erm, which I have left out for a reason.

*GASPAGE* This is not a gameshow my friend. It's...I don't know, it's more like....Okay it's a gameshow. :lol:

Although We Knew

Miami Beach

Delko: *walks over*

Calleigh: *walks up*

Speed: *walks over*

Horatio: *looking down at sand*

Delko: You got a plan H?

Horatio: Someone's out to get the police department and I think I know who.

Speed: So...Why are we on the beach?

Horatio: The ocean helps me think.

Calleigh: So who's setting us up?

Horatio: The one person who knows how to manipulate loopholes.

Delko: ...Stetler?

Horatio: Nope.

Calleigh: Megan?

Horatio: Nope.

Speed: ...Is it a secret or can we know now.

Horatio: Donahue. However she changed her name to Donahinkle for legal reasons.

Everyone: *blank stare*

Horatio: Miami is no longer safe my friends.

Delko: I thought she died.

Speed: GET HER AWAY FROM ME! SHE BRINGS ANGST AND BUBBLES EVERYWHERE SHE SETS FOOT! *digging in the sand* I know, I'll dig a BIG hole and I'll go to China. GUYS HELP ME!

Horatio: Speed, stop digging around in the sand.

Speed: THE MAKEUP ALONE WILL POISON THE AIR WE BREATHE!

Horatio: Calm down. Now, I know what happened.

Calleigh: You do?

Horatio: Yes, I do.

FLASHBACK - EXT. DADE MUTUAL BANK

Donahinkle: Okay Bill, shoot into the store.

Bill: But I don't want to.

Donahinkle: I see cops. Shoot into the store and kill them. It'll make angst.

Bill: Okay. *pulls trigger*

Donahinkle: Did you get them?

Bill: ...I think I hit a kid.

Donahinkle: BILL! *slaps Bill* I told you to hit the cops.

Bill: Sorry.

Donahinkle: My entire plan has been blown to pieces. Your only job was to send the text message, steal the truck after the gun was put in here, shoot the cops and that's it. You couldn't even do that.

Bill: I'm sorry Miss Donahinkle.

Donahinkle: I can't even get you to do one thing. *leans back on head rest of truck* I swear with all this stress, I'm going to go bald.

Super cool CSI:Miami closeup of light hair falling onto the headrest

Donahinkle: Okay let's get out of here and ditch the truck.

Bill: Okay.

FLASHBACK TO PRESENT - EXT. BEACH

Horatio: And that's what happened.

Calleigh: ...The beach gave you all of that.

Horatio: *extends hands* I am one with the sea.

Speed: *glares* SHE MADE ME GO TO AFRICA!

Delko: *starts laughing*

Speed: It's not funny. *punches Delko*

Calleigh: Now guys, play nice.

Delko: NEVER! *runs to the other side of Horatio*

Horatio: *starts walking* Let's get back to the Hummer*

Speed: I'LL KILL HIM! *runs beside Horatio*

Calleigh: *grabs Speed, being dragged through sand* Don't kill him.

Speed: DIE! *swings foot*

Horatio: AH! *trips*

The team is seen stumbling along the beach in slow motion, as Seal's 'Love's Divine' plays in the background.

Horatio: AH MY SHADES!

Horatio's shades fly up into the air, and dramatically twirl in place as the sun gleams off the sides of the pitch black lenses. They fall lightly onto the ground

Horatio: *smiles* My shades!

Seagull hops over, grabs the shades in slow motion, and flies away into the sunset

Horatio: 0_0

Music suddenly stops

Horatio: ....

Everyone: *stops*

Horatio: *frowning*

Delko: ...*backs away slowly*

Calleigh: *hides behind Speed*

Speed: *keeps hand on service pistol*

Horatio: This means war my feathered friend. *runs into the ocean*

Bird flying close to the ocean

Horatio: *starts swimming* GET BACK HERE WITH THOSE SHADES!

Bird: *flies higher*

Horatio: *jumps, grabs the bird by the leg* GIVE ME BACK MY SHADES!

Bird: *head butts Horatio with his beak*

Horatio: AH!

Horatio is seen by the team, wrestling with a poor, not-so defenseless bird in the ocean

Delko: ..Want to keep walking?

Speed: Sure.

Calleigh: I'm up for it.

Calleigh, Speed, Delko continue to walk down the beach in slow motion as AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' starts to play in the background. Horatio can be seen running behind them screaming, as he is being attacked by seagulls
