Don is talking with Jamie in the hallway.
"Strip club in which Cheryl Davenport worked has no security cameras", she explains. "Privacy terms. Some clients remembered suspicious-looking client in club that night. Man Caucasian, in mid 40's to early 50's, red baseball cap, black sunglasses, black coat, grey pants, black shoes. Not enough for composite sketch. If he wore dark clothing, it would be hard to see blood on him. Had glass of whiskey, paid in cash. Glass is all washed up by now."
Don nods and Jamie walks away. Don starts walking down the hallway. Lindsay walks towards him.
"Hi, Don", she says. "Type of paper and ink used to write note to rule Cheryl Davenport in the basement is very common. No usable fingerprints or traces pf DNA. Letter was writen capital letters, making handwriting analysis fingerprints on ice pick. Killer wiped them all. It seems that he stole it from the counter. Fibers found under Cheryl Davenport's fingernails came from new brand of expensive La Coste man coats. Same fibers were found on the note, but none of that is the "news of the day". I managed to recover DNA profile from semen recovered in Cheryl Davenport's rape kit. I ran it through CODIS. It matches to John Gray."
"First murder victim?"
"Yes. And DNA profile recovered from John's sex kit matches to her DNA. It also matches to DNA recovered from pubic hair, sweat, skin cells and vaginal fluid recovered on John's bed sheets. Her fingerprints match to unidentifeid fingerprints recovered on John's bed frame. And two of the shoes recovered in her closet match to unidentified latent shoe prints found in John's apartment."
"So, she was the mistery girlfriend!"
"Yes. And I also examined her car. Yes, tyres were slashed, just as Joann said. Screwdriver found in glove compartment of her car matches to scars on tyres, traces of rubber found on it match to Cherly's car tyres, and only her fingerprints are on screwdriver. But, while examining Cheryl's car tyres, I noticed small, barely visible trace inside of car's exhaust, so I swabbed it and analysed it."
"So, what was it?"
"Blood. Human blood. Male's DNA. Didn't match to John. I ran it through CODIS. No match, but it was simmilair to one female DNA profile in CODIS. Susane Sparrow, thirty years old, in system due to theft charge."
"So, whoever left the blood is related to her."
"Probably her brother. As it turns out, she did have younger brother, twenty eight years old Jerry. He was mugged and killed two years ago. And interesting fact is that one man, twenty four years old Johnny Shaw is already serving his twenty five years to life sentence for that murder."
"Then, how blood ended up in Cheryl's car."
"I don't know. There are no signs that Jerry or Johnny were linked with her anyhow. But maybe..."
"John and Cheryl mugged and killed Jerry and Johnny is innocent?"
"Exactly. He had no prior criminal offences or financial problems, didn't know the victim, had a job. He was arrested for driving too fast two days after the murder on his way to work and unregistered gun was found in his glove compartment. Balistics linked it with bullets found in Jerry's body. Only his fingerprints were on that gun. His DNA also matched to chewing gum found near Jerry's body. Stolen money was never found. He claimed he visited that place day before the murder and that's how he left the chewing gum there, and that he found the gun in dumpster in front of his dumpster that morning while he was dumping trash, took it and planned to give it to police. John lived in that same building."
"Who was prosecutor in that case?"
"Uhm... I think George Gonzales. Why?"
"I heard about him. Year ago, whole svandal broke out when man who was serving ten year sentence for rape was eventualy found to be innocent. George was prosecutor in that case. That almost ruined his carrier. If somebody found out about this, his life would be completely ruined."
"Wait... you can't seriously think that state prosecutor..."
Don tooks newspapers from right pocket of his pants. George's photograph is on front page.
"Do you see what coat is he wearing?", he asks Lindsay. She sees it is , and widenes her eyes in shock.
#
George Gonzales is sitting at the desk in his office. He is Caucasian man in late 40's, about 5'11 tall, average weight, with short brown hair and brown eyes. He is wearing white shirt, black pants, black shoes and red tie. Don and Jamie are standing in his office in front of his desk. Jamie has white latex gloves over her hands.
"What can I do for you?", he asks.
"We would like you to give your coat and shoes on analysis", Don says.
"Do you have a warrant?", Georhe asks them.
"No."
"I didn't think so", George smirks. "And now excuse me, it's time for my lunch break. When I return, I don't want you here", he says, stands up, tooks his coat and walks away, closing the door behind.
Don and Jamie start walking around the office. Jamie notices white, food-stained, wrinkled paper napkin in trash can, with few black fibers on it. She photographs it with her Iphone, then picks it up.
"I would say that fibers remained on this came from his coat", she says. "Since it was in the trash, we have right to take this without a warrant. I'm sure forensics will link it with fibers found under Cheryl's fingernails."
"That won't stand on trial", Don reminds her.
"No", Jamie agrees. "But it will be more than enough for the warrant."
#
Gina Stanworth is sitting at the table in interrogation room. She is wearing red T-shirt, white shorts, white tennis shoes. She still has white wrist band ade over her right wrist. Mac and Jo are also sitting at that table, opposite to them. Forensic briefcase is lying on that same table, close to Jo.
"You are playing with injured hand, Gina?", Mac asks.
"Yes. It's... it'ts not a big injury. My coach said me that will help me to get back in the game more easily."
"You can forget about that", Jo says. "We know that you killed Malcolm Lake."
Gina widenes her eyes and glares at them in disbelief.
"What? I already said you that I didn't do that!"
"Remove the band ade, Gina", Mac says.
"What?"
"Remove it!"
Gina takes the deep breath and slowly removes the band ade. Both Mac and Jo notice bruises that seem to be caused by fingernails. Jo takes cellphone from right pocket of her pants and photographs them, then e-mails photograph to Sheldon. Mac takes piece of paper from right pocket of his pants and puts it on the table, in front of Gina.
"We have a warrant to photograph you, take your fingerprint samples, DNA sample, and your shoes and your jewerly."
Jo opens forensic briefcase, takes pair of white latex gloves from it, puts them on, then takes swab and small plastic container from it. She stands up and walks toward Gina.
"Open your mouth", she says. Gina does so. Jo swabs inside of her mouths, puts swab in plastic container and puts it in her briefcase. She takes white sterile gauze from briefcase.
"Show me your hands", she says. Gina does so. Jo swabs both sides of her palms and face, takes evidence bag from briefcase, puts gauze in it, seals the bag, and puts it back in briefcase. Then she takes fingerprint chart and some ink from briefcase, puts those idoms on table in front of Gina, and fingerprints her. Mac tooks Iphone from right pocket of his pants and photographs Gina, then puts it back. Afterwards, he also puts pair of white latex gloves over his hands. Gina removes her sneakers, watch and bracelet and puts them on the table. Mac stores those idoms in three separate evidence bags, then puts them in forensic brief case. Jo takes pair of red woolen slippers from it and puts them on the table, in front of Gina. Gina takes them and puts them on instead of sneakers.
#
George Gonzales is sitting at the table in other interrogation room. Don and Jamie are also sitting at that table, opposite to him.
"Fibers from your coat match to fibers found under Cheryl Davenport's fingernails and to fibers found on note used to rule her in basement where she was killed", Jamie informs him. "Fiber samples tooken from your wipe match to fibers found on beer bottle used to bludgeon John Gray to death. Your shoes also match to latent shoe prints found in his apartment. And handwriting analysis of your signature on your drivers licence confirm that you are right handed. Man who killed both John and Cheryl is right handed. Also, papers and ink from one pen which we found in your office match to note used to rule Cheryl in basement."
"You wiped fingerprints, washed your clothes in bleach and wore a disguise, but still, it wasn't enough."
"Johnny was shanked in prison week ago. He is still recovering. After that happened, John and Cheryl decided to confess that they killed Pete Monk. Jon went in your office and confessed that. He wanted you to know first. You asked him not to go to police in day or two, so you could prepare yourself. Three days ago, you went in his apartment and tried to pay him not to confess. He refused and things turned ugly."
John's apartment. George and John are siting at John's kitchen table. Beer bottle is on the table next to John. Money is on the table.
"I'm done with you", John says, frustrated. "Lead yourself out", he says, stands up and walks toward living room, turning his back to George. George takes beer bottle and bludgeons John. John screams and colapses face down on the floor. George bludgeones him again, killing him. He drops beer bottle on the floor, searches John's pockets, founds wallet, tooks money and credzit cards from it, and also tooks John's watch and rings. He stores that idoms in left pocket of his coat. Then he picks up his money from the table and puts it back in right pocket of his pants, then he takes wipe from right pocket of his coat and scrubs down beer bottle and wallet. He leaves, closing the doors behind, with wipe over his hand, wipes doorbell clean with that same wipe, puts it back in right pocket of his coat, and runs down the stairs.
"Then you needed to kill Cheryl before she founds out about John's murder and confesses her part in Pete's murder. You visited strip bar, ruled her in basement and killed her."
George walks in strip bar. He sits at the counter and orders glass of whiskey. While waither is pouring it, he picks up ice pick from the counter and hides it in his coat. When waither finishes, George takes glass of whiskey and pays in cash. He drinks it, leaves glass on the counter and sits on the chair in front of the stand where Cheryl Davenport is dancing. He takes few bills and note from right pocket of his coat, puts note between the bills, leans forward and puts bills in Cheryl's panties. Then he walks toward the basement and sneaks in it.
Later, during pause, behind the stage, Cheryl takes money out her panties and starts counting it. She sees the note, smiles, puts money back in her panties, sneaks toward basement and sneaks in it, closing the doors behind. While walking downstairs, she drops the note and it falls on the floor.
George is hiding behind the closet near front doors. When Cheryl comes close enough, he tooks ice pick, jumps in front of her, slits her vocal cords with ice pick, and stabbes her ten times in the chest. After fifth stabbing wound she fell on the floor (managing to nail his coat before she did), so he lay on his knees next to her and stabbed her five more times. Realizing that she is dead, he wipes ice pick handle with his coat sleeve and drops ice pick on the floor. Then he takes his money, disturbing her panties, and puts it in right pocket of his coat. He sneaks out, closing the doors behind. Before he does so, he wipes both door knobs with his coat sleeve.
"I won't say anything", George says. "I won't spend a day in jail. I have excellent court skills."
"And you'll need them", Jamie agrees.
#
Sid photographs fingernails on both of Malcolm Lake's hands, scans them in computer, and e-mails photographs to Sheldon.
#
Sheldon is siting at desk in his office, wearing white lab coat and white latex gloves. He receives e-mail. He opens it and notices photographs of Malcolm Lake's fingernails. He compares them with photograph of bruises on Gina's wrist. Comparison shows that bruises on Gina's wrist match to all fingernails on Malcolm's fingers on his right hand.
#
Lindsay is sitting at desk in her office, wearing white lab coat and white latex gloves. She takes shoes out of the evidence bag, photographs it's bottoms with polaroid and scans photographs in computer. She compares them with shoe prints left by tennis shoes number eight found in park. Shoe prints found in park perfectly match to Gina's shoes. Then she takes fingerprint chart, scans Gina's fingerprints in computer and compares them with fingerprints found on hedge around playground. Computer soonly founds the match.
#
Danny is searching eria around drug store near playground. He is wearing white latex gloves, white plastic shoe covers and has his forensic briefcase with him. He notices receive and wrist band ade wrapper in bushes. He puts forensic briefcase on the floor, opens it, takes two forensic tags and marks those idoms, photographs them, picks them up, puts them in two seperate evidence bags, seals them, puts them back in his forensic briefcase, and puts forensic tags back in it too.
#
Adam is sitting at table in his office, wearing white lab coat and white latex gloves. Gina's watch, bracelet and swabs tooken from her hands and face are on the table. Adam tooks parafrine bottle from it and drips some of it on those two swabs. Nothing happens. Then he takes two new gauzes from his brief case, swabs her watch and bracelet with it and puts them on the table. He drips some parafrine on both of them. Soonly, they both turn purple. GSR test is positive.
#
Back in the interrogation room. Gina is still sitting at the table, and Mac and Jo are sitting at the table, opposite to her. Forensic briefcase, now closed, is still on the table, and so are the papers and reports showing forensic results.
"Our forensics linked seven fingerprints found on doors on hedge of playground where Malcolm Lake was killed with you", Mac says. "We found them on both door knobs on that door. And you probably didn't know that fingernails can be as distinctive as fingerprints, didn't you? But they are. Fingernails on fingers on Malcolm's right hand, his injured hand, perfectly match to bruises on your right wrist. Your injured wrist."
"One of shoe prints found in park, leading towards sand boy, where Malcolm was killed, and back, perfectly match to your tennis shoes", Jo informs her. "Of course, after three days, no gunshot residue remained on your hands and face. But jewerly... that's completely other thing. We found traces of gunshot residue on both your watch and bracelet. That means that you either fired the gun or were very close to gun when it fired. Based on other evidences, we think that first theory is more likely."
"Our forensic team also searched the eria around drug store half mile away from the playground. They found receive in bushes, which prooves that somebody purchusaed wrist band ade there, on day of Malcolm Lake's murder, at 4:10 pm. On that same spot, they found empty wrist band ade wrapper. They found two types of usable fingerprints on those idoms: one belongs to clerk who works there. Other belongs to you. There are no security camera there or near by, but when we showed clerk your photograph, he identifeid you as girl who purchusaed wrist band ade that day at 4 pm and paid in cash. He remembered you because you looked nervous and accidently dropped money on the floor. He is sure he can identifei you in line up, too."
They both stop talking and look at Gina. She is breathing heavily, avoiding eye contact with them.
"What happened?", Jo asks her, softly.
Gina tooks a deep breath, raises her head and starts talking.
"I know he is... he was a sex offender. And that he lives near by. Close to that playground. Almost all younger children regulary visit that playground! So, following Melany's disappearance, I started visiting that playground every day for last week, after school, to make sure he won't be there, that he won't prey on children. But that day... he was there."
Gina is sitting on the bench in playground, in front of the sand box. She is wearing white T-shirt, short blue skirt and her white tennis shoes. Her backpack is on the bench near by. Malcolm starts walking toward sand box. He is wearing white shirt, black pants, black belt and black shoes. While he is walking, some sand from the air remains in his nose.
Gina quickly stands up and takes gun, hidden in her backpack. When Malcolm walks towards her, she raises the gun on him. Malcolm stops and widenes his eyes in shock.
"What are you doing here, pervert?", she asks him, angrily.
Malcolm raises his hands and slowly steps few steps away.
"Look", he says. "It's not how it seems."
"Don't try to fool me! I know who you are! Where... is... Melany?!"
"I don't know... Look... Let me explain...", Malcolm starts, then quickly jumps closer to her and grabs the gun. They struggle over the gun. Gina manages to press gun against left side of Malcolm's chest and press the trigger. Gun fires. Shell casing flies over the fence and falls on the ground. Malcolm stops resisting and falls on the ground, dead, blood dripping from bloody gunshot wound on left side of his chest on the sand. Traces of sand remain in his hair.
Gina drops the gun on the floor and silently screams, due to her wrist injury. She manages to pick up the gun and throw it over the fence. It lands in pool of dirty water on the ground behind the fence. She runs away, closing the door behind.
"Look, Gina", Mac starts. "You will probably be trailed as an adult. We know some people... This crime can be ruled as second degree murder, maybe even first degree manslaughter. You may get out the prison alive and have family. Life. But you need to do two things."
"Sure", Gina says. "What things?"
"I believe we both know what's the first thing", Mac says. "And second thing is... who gave you the gun."
Gina is talking with janitor Neil Johnston in his janitor's closet, while they are siting on his blue couch. She is wearing white T-shirt, red jeans and white sandals. Her blue backpack is lying on the floor near the couch. Neil is wearing his janitor's uniform, brown working boots and yellow rubber gloves.
"I'm telling you, be carefull", Neil says. "I did time with her. He told me what he did to that girl and how he would like to do that again. Do you really think he was only helping Melany to change a flat tyre? And that playground is only few miles away from his house!"
"Police can't catch him, how can I help?"
"Well... I guess you could at least visit that playground once in a while. Pay attention..."
"What... what if he... attacs me? Or some child? And there is nobody else there?"
"Then, you better have this", Neil says, opens one the drawer near by, takes gun from it and handles it to Gina. She is staring at it for few seconds, disturbed and unsure what to do, but eventualy she grabs it. Before she can took it, Neil grabs it too and looks her in the eyes.
"Look", he says. "If there is no other choice than shooting... make sure you kill him... OK?"
Gina nods. Neil lets go the gun. Gina opens her backpack, puts gun in it, then zips backpack again completely.
#
Neil is sitting at the table in other interogation room. Mac and Jo are also sitting at that table, opposite to him.
"What?", he smirks. "Look, this girl is lying. Why would I do that?"
"You and Malcolm did time in same prison", Jo explains. "At some point, while braging or in some moment of weakness or as part of a bragging that went too far, you told him your secret."
"What secret?"
"That you killed your ex-girlfriend, Mellisa Morales", Mac says. "You simply couldn't stand her being with anyone else but you, couldn't stand her daring to break up with you. So you killed her."
Neil walks toward Melissa's backyard, wearing black jacket, blue jeans, and brown woolen sleepers instead of shoes. He also wears grey working gloves over his hands and holds black crowbar in his hand. He walks toward back window, looks around, and uses crowbar to breake in through the window. He sneaks in, puts crowbar on the floor and sneaks in living room. Melissa is sitting on couch in living room, watching TV. She is young Hispanic woman, about 5'10 tall, average weight, with long curly black hair and black eyes. She is wearing white T-shirt, red shorts and blue woolen slippers.
"Neil?", she screams.
He tooks the gun from right pocket of his jeans and prints it at her.
"You should never leave me, Melissa."
"Neil, please..."
He pulls the trigger and shoots her in the heart.
"Malcolm never said anything. You probably threatend him and his family. But week ago you visited local police station. You were interogated as burgulary suspect. You were probably waiting in hallway when you heard some police officers talking."
"You figured that he is involved, because he is sex offender and he was seen with the victim", Mac continues. "You figured that, if they arrest him, he could rat you out in exchange for lighter sentence."
"So you made up your plan. You are janitor, always in the school, hallways... you hear things. You figured you can manipulate with Gina due to situation with her sister and her upcoming trial. So she became your patsy. You gave her the gun-the same one you used to kill your ex-girlfriend nine years ago."
"You figured he will eventualy come to prey on kids in playground and that Gina will shoot him. But week passed without any incidents. So you decided to took matter in your own hands. You followed him and managed to found out his cellphone number. That day, after work, you called him on his cell from phone booth near playground and arranged the meeting there after work. You probably offered to sell him computer. His wife mentioned he was looking for new one. And Gina simply did the rest."
"But you did all that for nothing, because we found out he had nothing to do with Melany's dissapearance."
Neil smirks.
"You have nothing against me."
"We have Gina's statement", Jo says. "And police records that proove you were in police station ten days ago."
"That little bitch would do anything to save her own ass. And there were bunch of people in that police station that day. I won't tell anything starting from this very moment. I want my lawyer. I'll be out here in couple of hours."
"Don't get your hopes us. We will re-open Melissa's case. We will nail you."
"Really?", Neil smirks. "Good luck with that."
#
All team members are sitting around big round table in Mac's office, only Mac and Jo are standing near big white plastic blackboard in front of the table. All sorte of photograhs and papers conected with Melissa Morale's and Malcolm Lake's case. Mac and Jo hold papers in their hands. Mac starts reading:
"20th July 2004. Pine street 1. At 11 pm, neighbours heard the gunshot and called the police. Police officers broke in and found Melissa lying on the living room floor, dead from gunshot wound in her heart."
"There was no signs of sexual assault, but she was found completely naked", Jo continues. "Her clothes was found on wash in bleach in washing machine in her bathroom. By the day police got there, all possible forensic evidences were destroyed."
"There was plenty of fingerprints found", Lindsay reads. "Twenty fingerprints and five palm prints on TV, fifteen fingerprints on DVD, thirty five fingerprints, two palm prints and five partial palm prints in total on both living room windows and their frames and knobs. Twenty fingerprints, three palm prints and two partial palm prints on coffee table, ten fingerprints and two partial palm prints on back window..."
"But they all matched to victim", Danny reads. "Lets see... killer came in through the back window... signs of force intury... partial glove print that matched to working gloves found in his laundry basket."
"But there was no any distinctive thread marks", Sheldon reads. "There were almost milion gloves of the same brand and size on market in New York city, over twenty thousand in closer eria. And since gloves were washed in bleach, no forensic evidences survived. "
"Latent shoe print found on living room floor near the couch. It matched to one of victim's shoes found in closet in her bedroom", Jo reads. "Bootprint was found in the ground outside under the back window. It matched to one of victim's boots, found in her basement. Partial impretions found in the ground under back window, too unclear for any analysis or to be usable for determination of height and weight."
"He had brown woolen sleepers in laundry basket", Adam notices. "Of course, since impretions were so unclear and sleepers were washed in bleach, nobody could link them with crime scene."
"Tool mark found on back window", Lindsay reads. "It matched to crowbar found in Neil's basement. It also matched to injury on Danny Gacy's skull. Unfortunately, in both cases tool mark was not so distinctive that all crutial details could be seen. And crowbar was cleaned in acide, so no forensic evidences remained on it, except for one usable fingerprint, that matched to Neil anyway."
"Dirt leading from back window to her body, bathroom, and back", Mac says. "It matched to dirt from her yard."
"What about Malcolm's case?", Lindsay points out. "Can we proove that Gina was in Neil's janitor's closet, talking with him?"
"I already examined it", Adam says. "Guy vacumed the couch, wiped down doors and both knobs, scrubed down the floor with broom, wiped the drawers inside and out. He burned vacum cleaner's bag and towel in bucket, so badly that no forensic evidences survived. He probably planned to flush it down the toilet, before we arrested him."
"Maybe we need to think about where he kept the gun hidden while he was in jail", Jamie suggests.
"Police searched his car, house, yard... nothing", Mac says.
"But he still lives in same house, with same yard, and drives the same car", Jo says. "Nine years passed... but we can try to find something."
"I guess we can get a warrant", Mac says. "Bit if we don't found anything soon, we really need to let him go."
#
Adam, Mac, Jo, and Sheldon are searching Neil's house and yard. Dan and Lindsay are searching his car. They all wearing white latex gloves and white plastic shoe covers, and have their foensic briefcases with them.
Mac searches Neil's trash can in kitchen. He only founds few egg shells, chewing gum and few tishues.
Jo searches Neil's bathroom locker. She only founds some band ades and bathroom supplies.
Sheldon looks under mattress on Neil's bed, but he only founds some dust. He also looks under the bed, but he only founds more dust and old towel. Then he searches drawers of Neil's writing desk next to his bed. He only founds some notebooks, papers and writing supplies. Then he sits at Neil's writing desk and examines his laptop. He checks Neil's internet history. He only founds some food recepies, some porn, things about cleaning supplies and lots of computer games. Then he examines My Documents. He founds only one document, under title "How to get a better job."
He also searches Neil's closet, but he only founds clothes, shoes and underwear.
Mac and Jo are searching Neil's yard with metal detector. They only found few coins, few old, rusted nails and old, dirty, partialy rusted belt buckle.
In Neil's car, Danny opens a glove compartment and examines it's contetnt. He only founds a map, few working gloves, two comic books towel, screwdriver, package of wet wipes and old newspapers.
Lindsay is searching trunk of Neil's car. She only founds tyre iron, spare tyre, and hammer. She also examines it with UV light tooken from her briefcase, but founds nothing. After she puts flashlight back in briefcase, she closes the trunk and notices spare tyre on it. She remembers she already saw spare tyre in the trunk. She examines other spare tyre closely and notices that upper part of it is cuted and glued on again. She removes the glued part and sees that part of tyre is hollow inside. Inside, she notices something like dried traces of gun oil, so she tooks swab from her brief case and swabs it.
#
Again, Neil is sitting in interogation room at the table. Mac and Jo are sitting at the table, opposite to him, and Don is standing near by. Paper showing forensic report is on the table in front of Neil.
"One of our forensic techs noticed that you have two spare tyres", Mac says. "Part of one spare tyre was hollow. Inside, they found traces of both gun oil and gunshot residue, which perfectly matches to gun used to kill both Melissa Morales and Malcolm Lake."
"They also found impretion in car tyre", Jo informs him. "It's barely visible to a naked eye, but when examined under UV light, it's obvious that those are numbers. First four can be read clearly: 4678. Gun used to kill both Melissa Morales and Malcolm Lake has serial number 4678005. That links you with gun used to kill both victims."
"You kept that hollow tyre. Probably in case that you will need to use it again in other criminal activities. Thanks for providing us an evidence."
Neil stays silent.
"Take him", Mac says. Don walks towards Neil and pulls him off the chair, handcuffs him and takes him away.
#
Mac is talking with Rebecca in her yard.
"What do you want from me?", she asks, irritated.
"I just want you to know that Malcolm was killed because of you. If there wasn't for your, he wouldn't be in jail, Neil wouldn't tell him about Melissa, and he wouldn't get killed."
"Don't try to make me feel guilty. Nothing will stop me."
"You think so. But you're going down."
Then Mac walks away.
#
Cheryl and Neil are handcuffed and lead in custody, while voice of news host is heard in the background.
Two persons, sixteen year old Gina Stanworth and thirty seven years old Neil Johnston, are arrested for murder of registered sex offender Malcolm Lake..."
Johnny Shaw is lying in his bed in hospital, wearing his white hospital's pajamas. His family is visiting him, telling him that he will be released.
Cassandra is awaiting her son in front of her prison. Guards lead him out, and they hug, while Mac watches aside, smiling.
Anabel Lake is lying on bed in master's bedroom, crying while looking at Malcolm's photograph, holding positive pregnancy test in her hands.
~THE END~
A/N: Song playing in background of scenes where Sheldon, Adam and Lindsay are trying to found evidences to proove that Gina is guilty is "Empire state of mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys (not the whole song, only Alicia Key's chords). Song playing in background of a scene where team is trying to found evidences linking Neil with murders is "Perfect day" by Constellations. Song playing in background of final scenes (last paragraph, after Mac talks with Rebecca) is "Running up the hill" by Placebo.
And we reached the end... Kinda sad, I know, but message wouldn't be so strong without such sad touch. But, there is some hope, right?
Hope You enjoyed this fic. Love Mislav :)
