Meanwhile...
Back at the house, Gary had found some shovels in the garage. Taking them out to Sheldon and Danny, they began digging the earth.
"I hit something. Stop sheldon. Shine you light."
Shinning his light into the hole, they seen the body of a female victim.
"Looks like we have a serial Gary. Help me lift her out Danny."
As they lifted her from the hole, Gina came out the back door, releasing a cry.
"Oh God. No... Oh... I promised I'd keep her safe."
Turning her into his arms, Gary held her against him.
"It's okay Gina. This isn't your fault. I can also guarantee you, her husband didn't do this."
"Then who Gary? Who would want to hurt her? She knew very few people here. She didn't even have any friends. Her husband would never let her out of his sight."
"We're not sure who is doing this. But she is the second body we've found skinned like this. I'm not even sure how many more bodies there are, or how long this psycho has been doing these vile things."
Watching as Sheldon checked time of death, he said... "you're not going to belive this Gary. Not more then two hours ago. The body is still warm."
"Okay Sheldon, take her back. I want you on this case. I need a full report ASAP."
"You got it Gary."
"Danny, you and I will take the house. Don, if you could take Gina home for me."
"Yeah, no problem."
Leading Gina to the car, she looked back at Gary. Nodding to her that he understood, she left.
When Don had her at her door, he asked her if she was going to be okay.
"I'll be fine Don. You can go. I just... night."
Walking into her apartment, she locked the door.
Meanwhile...
He was dreaming. Of what he wasn't sure. But it was almost as if he could smell her flesh as he sliced. All he knew was she had dark chestnut hair, and bright blue eyes. But where? Where had he seen her before.
Waking himself from his dream, he stood, headed to the bathroom and rinsed off his face. Looking at himself in the mirror he grinned evily. Taking off his clothes, that still had traces of blood and dirt. He showered, then got dressed for work.
He hated the nightshift at the courthouse. He prefered the dayshift. For that was the best time to find his women. They were always the best. So vulnerable, weak, scared. Just like little rabbits.
Spalshing on some cologne, he locked his door and headed out.
When he arrived at the courthouse he relieved Michael.
"Sorry I'm late Mikey, but life sucks."
"You know something Feebers? You're an ass."
Slamming the door behind him, Michael headed home to his now empty apartment.
By the time Gary, and Danny had the house processed. They were no further ahead on the case.
"You okay Gary?"
"No. No I"m not okay. Just what the hell are we dealing with here?"
"I'm not sure man. But I have a feeling, it's far from over."
"You and me both. Let's pack it up. I'd like to see if Sheldon found anything on our latest victim."
Heading towards their vehicle, they got in and headed back to the lab.
