Re: The 'Mistake' DL
Hi all!
I'm back and have two new chapters
I'll post next chapter tonight or tomorrow, it's up to you
Warehouse
Mac and Stella were in the building across the place where Lindsay got shot at. It was an old abandoned warehouse that had been used to stock tv's, computers and other electronics. The company who owned the building got broke. Everything what was left of it were some boxes, a few old computers and a lot of cables that were lying everywhere. The place was two floors high and although it wouldn't be likely that Stella and Mac would find something on the first floor, they searched it anyway just in case. They didn't find much. Stella walked past some of the windows and heard something crack under her shoe. She put down her kit and sat on her knees to see that she'd stood on a needle.
"Seems like some junky's used this place as well", she said looking at the small pieces broken glass that ones were a needle.
"That's no suprise in a warehouse like this", Mac said.
Danny had called a couple of minutes earlier with Hawkes' test results on the hairs he had found on the body of Naomi. The hair belongs to Stuart McGrey, a 43 year old man who'd been arrested two times for stalking, ones for disregarding a streetwarrant and he'd done some time in jail in 1993 for an attempted murder. This was some news, finally a name! It gave everyone the thrill they needed to keep doing their work focussed as always.
It was a big mess on the first floor and the shooter wouldn't have a good view on the alley from a low place, so they quicly went to the second floor.
Mac walked up the stairs and took a good look through the room. It was a big open space with well.. very dirty windows that made the light that came through very dull, however most of them were broken and there was still some glas lying underneath. The room further didn't look much different from what they'd already seen on the first floor.
"Shooter had a perfect view from here.. let's see if he left us something interesting"

Lindsay was bored ,and although she wouldn'd admit it, tired. She refused to get some rest, because she was desperately waiting on some new news on the case. She and Danny were doing paperwork in their office for an hour now.
Danny sneaked a quick glance at Lindsay who was sitting at the desk across him. She still looked extremely tired, big dark circles had already formed under her eyes. Suddenly Lindsay looked up and caught him staring at her. Appearantly the quick glance wasn´t as quick as he thought it would be.
“What?” Lindsay said.
“Well uh, you know…”
Danny didn’t got the chance to finish what he was saying “Ah, and don’t tell me I look like crap and should try to get some sleep”
“You should Montana”, He’d tried to convince her about that earlier as well, but she only got mad at him about it. “Then let me at least get you a cup of coffee or something”
Lindsay thought about it, a cup of coffee wouldn’t hurt anyone right? And it would help to keep her awake, so she decided to give in.
“All right..”, she sighed.
--
When Danny came back, he found Lindsay sound asleep with her arms folded over the file she was working on head on top of it. He laughed at the sight and put the two coffees he was carrying on the table.
“No sleep huh, Montana?”
He walked over to her desk and extended his arm to wake her. Then he changed his mind, she had been very tired and wasn’t he the one who desperately wanted to let her get some sleep? So he went back to his own desk and grabbed a new file from the pile that was still waiting for him.

“Look at this” Mac said. They had found the place where the shooter had taken his shot and they both were on their knees between the pieces of glass, looking for more evidence.
Mac pointed at a small drop of dried blood “Seems like he cut himself”
“Yep” Stella smiled “if it’s a match to the hair we have him”.
When they had collected all the evidence they went back to the lab to ran some tests. If the results would be positive Stuart McGrey's life would get a not so happy turn...
