Chapter 3 - The Crypt Keeper's.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Joey smiled cheerfully as he entered the forensic department. Or the crypt as he often called it.
"How's it going Crypt Keeper?" He called Dr Walsh, head of forensic.
Dr Walsh, a woman somewhere in her late forties with auburn hair, turned to face the cheery DI.
"I'm well Wheeler." The well mannered doctor replied.
Joey smiled and came over to the lab table. A sheet was draped over it, with rises and creases marking the position of a body, without a head.
"Where's the uhh. . .the ah. . ." Joey was not very comfortable with this discussion.
"The head? It's just being examined. Want to watch?"
Joey shuddered slightly. The idea of watching tests being run on a severed head disturbed him slightly, especially since he had known the poor girl.
"I found something very interesting on the body by the way." Dr Walsh smiled, pushing her glasses further up her face.
"Let me guess." Joey smirked. "She wasn't killed by decapitation, rather she was shot with a single bullet from the same gun that killed Mr Maxis and almost killed Yugi, and she was shot in the heart like Maxis, and like Yugi almost was."
Dr Walsh's glasses almost fell off of her face.
"How did you. . .?"
"Know?" Joey finished. "I'm not a DI for nothing you know." A broad smirk ran along his face. 'And I only know because it was Kaiba who tipped me off. . .' he thought to himself.
"Well, that considered, it seems that Seto Kaiba is now wanted for two counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder."
"IF! It is Seto Kaiba." Joey added, still confident of the brunette's innocence. "Tell me, when did she die?"
"Between 6 and 7 am." Dr Walsh replied as she read over some notes.
Joey inwardly cursed. This meant he couldn't write Kaiba off as a suspect, as Kaiba came to him at 9 am.
"Keep me informed." Joey sighed as he turned to leave.
"I will." Walsh replied, only half paying attention. "Oh, Joey."
"Yeah."
"Why do you think Kai. . .I mean the killer put our victims head in Ms Valentine's apartment?"
Joey looked down at his shoes.
"Maybe as a warning, maybe to scare her, or me. I dunno. All I know is when I catch the sick bastard who did this I hope they get sent away for a long time."
He left through the large metal door and walked up to his office. He would look over CSI's notes and then head to his meeting with his officers.
At Joey's house Mai hurled the cordless phone into the wall, shattering it.
"Oh shit! Now I'm scared, jobless little girl who broke her friends phone!"
She picked up the remaining pieces and put them in the bin and lay down on the couch. The shear nerve of her boss. Her friend had just died, she had found her head in cupboard, she had had one of the worst night's possible! And he had the nerve to tell her to get to the office or she's fired. And now she was worried about what Joey would think when he found out she'd wrecked his phone. It seemed to be the only one in the house. Oh great, what if he tried to call and couldn't get her. She knew Joey and he would worry that something was wrong.
"What a jerk he'll think I am. He brings me back to his place. Let's me sulk into him. Gets me dried off and changed and into his bed. Sleeps on the couch, probably has a stiff back now as well as that cold. He had even washed her things. She then couldn't help but wonder how Joey had gone about drying and changing her. She knew that Joey would never try and take advantage of her, or anyone in that situation, but she couldn't help but smile at the thought of Joey drying and changing her, while trying to avoid touching her inappropriately.
"Alright you lot! Listen up!" Joey yelled as he entered the meeting area.
The young officers under his command all snapped their heads around and placed their full attention upon the well respected and liked DI.
"Okay. Last Wednesday Mr Maxis was shot through the heart in his office. Two days later, Archaeologist Yugi Muto was shot. He's in hospital, but the bullet was from the same gun as the one that killed Mr Maxis. And yesterday, that would be Monday, Emily Wonder was shot through the heart. Her head was then removed from her body and hidden in the home of her fellow reporter Mai Valentine. Miss Valentine has since vacated the premises and is staying with me. Any questions before we proceed?"
"Yes sir!" One of the officers called. "Last night, were you on top or bottom?"
A snigger, then laughter washed across the officers. Joey smiled and shook his head, keeping it low to hide the blush. He could only blame himself for the way they acted, he was like that when he was a uniform, and he still was like that with his superiors, and there was barely and officer in this station who didn't know that didn't know how he liked Mai.
"Alright, alright calm down." He called trying to restore order. "Higgins, just for that your going to play the phone game."
Higgins groaned. The 'phone game' was basically phoning up possible witnesses. It was a highly dull, annoying and over all frustrating task.
"Sir. What about Seto Kaiba?"
Joey looked at the female officer who had spoken.
"What about him?"
"Shouldn't we be looking for him? He is the prime suspect."
Joey sighed. Yes. That was true.
"Okay. Johnson and Singleton." He pointed to the female officer who had spoken and the male beside her. "I want you doing some checking around for Kaiba. Fine anything, you tell me. Peterson and I will go to the Kaiba Corp headquarters to talk to his brothers. The rest of you, start combing Emily and Mai's apartments. Question everyone and anyone who could have seen or heard something. Ok. Let's go."
