Brian went back to the wet spot, and saw Doreen enter the room. " 'Morning, Ms. Valenti!" he called as he snapped a few photos of the stain. He took a swab and bagged it. He also bagged the knife and helped Rhia swab the blood drops.
"...why is the ME always late anyways?" Brian mumbled, eager to collect evidence from the body.

Sheldon's cell phone rang as he drove up to the house. He ignored it and got out of the car and headed for the door. He spotted Doreen as he went in and gave her a small, unconvincing smile.
"I'm assuming that call was to find out why I wasn't here yet," he called to Doreen. He looked down at the body for a moment before knealing down next to it.
"Lividity is set," he said. He turned the body over and took the liver temperature. "I'd say he's been dead for about 9 hours. As always, I'll know more once he's in the morgue and I can do a full autopsy." He stood up and looked over at Brian and Rhia.
"I hate suicides," he said before heading out the door.

Zora ran through the file on her desk; she was preparing for one of the three court cases she had to appear at this week. Due to her amount of court cases that were up Luke had told her to stay around the lab instead of processing scenes. She had been preparing for this particular case for awhile.
Zora was so engrossed with her case file that the sound of her phone ringing made her jump. "Lockhart." she answered. "Horatio? Wow it is really good to hear from you...."

"Please, call me Doreen," she said to Brian. "I can't stand all this formal stuff."
She folded her arms and sighed.
"Don't we all hate 'em," she said. "One minute it was a case of desperation and later it turns into murder."

Brian looked sideways at Doreen. "You're so sure it's murder already?" Brian finished taking photographs. "Hey, I'm gonna head back to the lab and start processing stuff. Let me know about any more developments. Rhia, mind if I take the SUV? It's a bit of a walk with all this evidence."

She smiled at Brian.
"I'm just saying. Usually it turns out like that. But yeah, you'd better go back to the lab and check it out first."

"Hi Doreen!" she greeted her friendly and took her eyes off the wall. "How're you? Noticed those two strange cops in front of the house?" she added and turned her eyes. Then she was distracted by Brian wanting something.
"No, not at all..." Rhia said and stood up. She pulled the gloves of her hands, foraged in her bag and finally got out her car key. "Here, catch!" And she tossed it across the room, but she hadn't taken aim precisely, so she missed Brian's outstretched hand and the key slithered under a chest of drawers.
"Bugger!" Rhia went after it and bent down. Suddenly she froze in her movements. "Hey, look at this!" Quickly she slipped into a new pair of gloves, then reached under the drawer and pulled something out. "Looks like we just found another murder weapon..." she stated and put the bloody knife into a bag.
"Sorry for the bad shot!" she said apologetically to Brian and shrugged, but she smiled widely. Then she also fished the keys forth and handed it over to him. "Here you are now. Mind if I stay a bit taking a second look, if something's missing?"

"You might as well, stay since you're on a roll," Brian said. He loaded up what evidence had already been collected, including the body, climbed into the SUV and drove back to the lab.
First he wheeled the body down to Sheldon's lab. Sheldon was in one corner, dancing and singing to a classic rock song while sterilizing his instruments. "Hey, Doc -- you got company!" Brian called, and left the body there on the gourney.
Brian then went back to his desk, and started sorting out the evidence.

Sam grabbed all the files on her desk and put them all alway in a drawer. Then she got up and walked to her QD equipment. She picked up her magnifying glass and looked at it. She really had to clean this one, so much dust on it. Sam grabbed a handkerchief and cleaned the glass. Now she was able to see through it again. What made her this lifeless? Sam knew. The knowledge of not getting to work on new cases made her this lifeless. She heard a knock on the door. She looked up. Ah, she had expected it. IAB. Ofcourse. She got up and walked over to the door. "You probably want to have a talk with me" "Yes indeed. Has mr. Versteeg told you what's going on?" Sam nodded. "He has." "Good. Now then, miss Noir, please sit down" Sam sat down on the chair she just got up from, and the IAB man sat down on another chair.

Brian had been working fast and furiously to sort things out. All DNA evidence had been given to the DNA lab, some things were sent to trace, pictures were being reviewed right now, he had another lab tech looking through old files for an MO... oh! He had forgotten about the suicide note.
He picked up the little baggy it was in and hurried into Sam's office. He was extremely surprised, and a little embarrassed, to see another man sitting in there about to speak with her. Brian nervously cleared his throat, and said, "Sam, uh... got some evidence for you... um... come get it from me when you can..."
Brian smiled at the man, who simply stared, and then Brian jogged back to his desk to start entering fingerprints into AFIS.

While she heard Brian pulling out of the driveway, Rhia looked around for a second time, but she couldn't find anything suspicious. They had already swabbed the blood drops in the kitchen, on the wall and on the floor.
"Doreen!" she called out from the hallway. "I'm having a look at the upper floor, ok?" Slowly she walked up the stairs. There was another hallway and three closed doors. Rhia tried the first one, which lead into a bed room. It was neat and tidy and even if she looked hard, she couldn't find anything. So, she went on to the next door. This time she found herself in a bathroom. Everything blinked and shone...as if it had been cleaned lately. A strong smell rose into her nose, which made her freeze. She ran downstairs to get her kit. Maybe something had happened here, too...

Sam sighed, after the man had explained the whole situation and asked her to tell him her side of the story. Where did she have to start? She asked the man this, where to start. Instead of what she had thought the man would say, 'at the beginning', he said: "Start now, today, and tell the story backwards." So she did. "Well, at the moment, I'm assigned to look into old, unsolved cases, because someone told you guys that I have had something to do with forgery in the past. And I don't want new, hot cases kicked out of court because of my past." "Okay. Who hired you?" "Luke, I mean, mr. Versteeg. He knows about my past, but he was also kind enough to believe me, though I must admit I think he has called my previous supervisor to get the whole story." "You have been fired down in Miami, right? Because of an accusation of forgery there" "Yes, indeed. In fact, I think someone spread that rumour/accusation just because they wanted me away from there, but I don't know. What I do know is that my previous supervisor helped me, he found out that my part in it was too small to get a rap sheet for it, so that's also why Lu - mr. Versteeg hired me, because I didn't have a rap sheet." "And that forgery, what exactly was it?" "They had found a suicide note on a body and it couldn't get linked to any of the suspects, though in some way it linked to me" "How?" "Although it didn't look like my handwriting, more like the vic's, there were some letters like my writing. So that's how the rumour started. But I'm sure that all I did was legal" "What have you done then?" Suddenly, Sam got up and walked out of the office. "I'm sorry, I got work to do. If you have further questions, write them down, I'll answer them another time" Sam walked to Brian's office, and smiled when she saw him sitting in front of the computer, running prints through AFIS. "Hey. You had some evidence for me?"

Brian looked up. "Yep. There was a suicide, I brought the note back for you. But don't think it will be THIS easy, they're still collecting evidence, so there might be more where this came from." He handed her the bag with the suicide note in it.
"I'm gonna go check on the doc as soon as I'm done with AFIS," Brian said as an afterthought.

Zora's thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the door. She had been going through notes when she had heard the knock. "Can I help you?" She called out. A man wearing a nice suit and a menacing look walked in. Zora nodded and asked, "IAB right?" The man nodded and said, "I am here to talk to you about your co-worker." he began. "Sam, yeah I know." Zora said gruffly. "How is it that you know why I am here?" the man asked. "Let's just say I had a head's up from an old friend." Zora said.

"Woah," said Doreen when she saw Rhia rushing downstairs.
"What's with the rush? You found something?"
