"Well," Brian replied, "I've found evidence that confirms our suspect was involved in a cult. I printed out the website, where he is registered as a member at, under the username 'Reaper.' The cult is called 'The Brotherhood of the Blood Oath.' According to the cult's website, a certain 'chosen one' is going to come and slay all non-believers in order to ensure the Brotherhood's dominion on Earth."
Brian couldn't help but roll his eyes at the paper in his hand.
"So, it's stupid and creepy, but Mr. Irving is nowhere to be found. However, when you're done with Sheldon, I do have the address of the Brotherhood's weekly meeting place..."

"So either Mr. Irving is already dead or he is on the run to slay the non-believers. Did I get this right?", she wonderer a moment. Somehow the case got more complicated every minute.

"Bingo," Brian answered. "We might be able to find him, but we'll need some more concrete evidence if we want to convict him. The faster we can get answers, the better. Or more bodies are going to start showing up."

"Which wouldn't be a good thing...", Rhia said more to herself than to anyone in particular. "Okay, so I'll hear what Sheldon's got for me, then I meet you at your office, right? See ya!", she hung up and turned round to the doc. She was drumming her fingers inpatiently on her arm. Now suddenly she should be at two places at once... Breathing in and out she finally calmed down.
"So, what have we got here...?", she said again.

Brian began peeking around the lab. They were seriously shorthanded today. "Dear Lord," Brian muttered as he passed by empty desk after empty desk.

"There's a significant amount of bruising and rug burn on her legs," Sheldon said, pointing to the body as he spoke. "It looks like she may have been alive in the trunk at some point."
Sheldon lifted her hands.
"I found some trace under her fingernails," he said. "And I sent it up to the lab."
"Cause of Death," he pointed to her chest. "Was a single gunshot wound."

"Wait a sec... she was alive in the trunk? They kidnapped her...? Very well. Please send the fingerprints, too. Then we'll soon know who she is... thanks doc!", Rhia smiled at him and let out a sigh.
"Gotta run. We're very short of people tonight...if you find anything else, you know my number..." and with a wink she had left the morgue. Sprinting up to Brian's office, she tried to make a sense out of the case, but still she hadn't got a clear idea... Slightly out of breath, she turned around the corner and nearly bumped into her co-worker.
"Uh, sorry, Brian...", she was able to get grip of the doorframe to prevent her from falling. "Sheldon said my vic was alive, locked up in the trunk for a time... what role did she play in? Anyway, let's go now...", she was still breathing quickly, but turned around to head for the exit.

When Rhia bumped into him, Brian stepped back and dramatically exclaimed, "Ye Gods! A living person! I thought this place was deserted!"
Brian listened to this latest news, and thought for a moment. "So, these aren't random killings, if he kidnaps the victims, first. He chooses them... I wonder what his system is. We might find answers at the cult's meetingplace. Here's the address," Brian said, handing her the printout, "And I'll meet you there."
He stepped outside, put on his sunglasses to protect himself from the late afternoon sun, got in his car, and drove off towards the building. He frowned. This was going to be very creepy.

"I've done enough driving for today...", Rhia said and put her hands to her hips, the piece of paper still clutched in her fist.
"Why don't you be a gentleman and gimme a lift?", with these words Rhia had squeezed herself into the passenger's seat, her kit on her lap. "What an environmental pollution it would be anyway, if we always take our own cars...", she muttered more to herself, when Brian had started driving.
"Well, hello! This looks very welcoming...", Rhia pulled a face, when their goal finally came into view. It was a very modern building, with dark grey bricks. There was a large gate blocking out people who wouldn't belong here. "Let's see if you get this kicked open, too...", she joked, when Brian pulled into a free parking lot.

Brian smirked at her comment. "All these gates are controlled electronically. The cult members all know the code to get in. I don't know the code, but I do know how to find out."
He took out his laptop from the car and brought it over to the little keypad next to the gate. It was your standard 123456789*0# keypad, but that's not what Brian was interested in. He plugged in a USB cable from his laptop to the keypad, and ran a codebreaker program. A minute later, there was a beep, and numbers flashed on his screen. He disconnected the laptop, and punched in 4, 5, 5, 9 into the keypad. The gates opened.
Brian stuck his tongue out at Rhia.

"I gotta remember how mature you are when I write the next evaluation...", Rhia poked him into the rips.
"So...are we on an official mission now or do we go undercover until somthing goes wrong?", she asked, biting her lip. Before she could get any answer, a man in a black cloak had appeared in the open gate. He had dark brown hair and a moustache.
"Welcome brother, welcome sister! What is your purpose today?", he asked in a smooth voice.

Brian quickly looked the man over before flashing his identification. "I'm Brian Shefkowitz and this is Rhiannon Nerice. We're with the New York Crime Lab, and we have some questions for you. And since the questions involved a homicide investigation, I suggest you cooperate fully."
Brian kept his eyes fixed on the man's, gaging his reaction. The man's eyes grew wide in surprise. This, obviously, was the last thing he had expected to hear. He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. The three of them stood there for a minute.
Brian was not in the mood for chit-chat. They needed answers, and now.

Finally the man bowed his head. "Fine. Would you please follow me?", with these words he led them into a small room with a desk, where he sat down, still looking shocked.
"Has anything happened to a brother or sister of us?", he asked burying his face in his hands. When he looked up his face was white as chalk.
But neither Rhia nor Brian answered.
"We have to ask you about a mem-, uhm, brother of yours. His name's George Irving. Have you heard of him lately?", she said after two seconds' break.

As Zora looked at the results from the fingerprint analysis on the female victim; she knew that Rhia and Brian would want to know the results immediately. She dialed Rhia's number and waited for her to answer.

Suddenly she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Exchanging a glance with Brian, she turned around to face the corner. Then she opened it.
"Yes, Zora. What can I do for you?"
