"You know I'd love to join in digging up the gun. Digging through layers of mud has always been my favorite activity. No really, I'd love to come with you guys. Finally an oportunity to get my hands dirty" Sam smiled.

"Okay then.", Rhia answered and disappeared into the store room. She came back with two shovels and some smaller digging stuff. "Ready?"
After a short drive they arrived at the Ngyuen's house - again. "Where did he say was the weapon buried? Was it the willow? Yeah...there it is... what a beautiful old tree..."
Carrying their equipment with them, they their way over to it. "Hey, looks like the earth has been digged up here.", Rhia pointed at a square where the earth seemed very loose. She shrugged and started digging.

Sam took the other shovel and started digging as well. It didn't take too long before they reached the depth where the gun was supposed to lie. Sam looked at Rhia. "Shall we dig using the small shovels from here on? I don't want to damage any possible fingerprints if they would survive at this depth..."

"You're right.", Rhia agreed and took one of the smaller ones. "Although that means it will take us longer...", she sighed, shrugged and started digging, cautiously. Suddenly she reached something hard.
"Oh, I found something!", she exclaimed, and carefully digged around it. But it turned out only to be a root of the willow tree. Disappointed she shook her head and continued digging.
"Maybe he wasn't even telling the truth...", she muttered.

"Or maybe... he was" Sam had noticed a metal-looking object and now reached for it, using a brush to remove the last dirt. The earth revealed what it had kept for the whole case so far. A sniper rifle. "Uh oh." Sam said. "I think we've just hit the jackpot"

Brian looked around the ballistics lab and sighed for probably the twentieth time today. This lab was so understaffed. He prepared the bullet catchers and set up a comparison microscope. While the girls had gone to retrieve the rifle, he had laid his head down and accidentally took a light doze. He didn't notice when Sheldon had quietly come in and put the bullets on his desk.
But now everything was ready to match the gun to the bullets, and from there, Brian could match the gun to the killer. Brian knew he had some time, since the girls had to dig six feet deep around a willow tree, so he had asked for all five suspects' clothes, and proceeded to process each item for gunshot residue. Every single one of them had traces. Hm, Brian thought, I guess I will need to compare residue. Some of this could be from contact with the SWAT team or the shootout in the house, and some could be from our rifle. I suppose I need to collect the GSR from the sniper rifle when they bring it in.
Brian put on latex gloves, and then carefully coated them with some agarose gel. That way, when he fired the weapon, all the GSR would stick to the gloves -- an easy way to collect it. Brian sat down, careful not to touch anything, and waited for the girls to get back with the sniper rifle that had caused everyone headaches and heartbreaks today.

Sam searched for a rather large evidence bag and carefully put the sniper rifle in it. She smirked at Rhia. "Perhaps I should just be a CSI instead of being a lab tech" Perhaps... she was qualified to be a CSI. And Rhia was in serious need of CSIs, since the lab (and all the city departments, for that matter) had some serious lack of personnel. Maybe a refreshment course? Ah, well, she'd call Rhia about that later or talk to her about that later... First, this case had to be solved. And if possible, quickly too. Sam and Rhia picked up the shovels and all the other digging equipment and carried all of it, including the rifle, to the CSI SUV. "New York City Criminalistics Laboratory, here we come" Sam mumbled, before starting the engine.

Rhia cocked her head at Sam's comment. "Yeah, why not? You're doing great work...but let's talk about that later, okay? Let's get that rifle back to the lab..."
Smiling they drove back to the lab. Rhia burst into the room with the bag clutched in front of her, Sam at her heels. "Got it!", she exlaimed happily, not caring for her dirty clothes nor her appearance now. Putting on a new pair of latex gloves she laid it out in front of them.

Hoping that Sam found the weapon, she sighed and looked at Nyugens sitting in front of her. "Do you know what would happen to you if you don't confess? You could be locked up for a very long time. I know that you don't want that to happen." Mr. Nyugen looked at his daughter again then back to Jade. "It couldn't be any worse than if they find us." Li nodded and looked away. "They would kill us if they even knew that we were talking to you."

Lilly arrived at the lab. she didn't really know what else she could do, so she went to her new workplace, the DNA lab.

Brian lined up the rifle, and said -- perhaps too quietly -- "Fire in the hole," and squeezed the trigger. With a tremendous CRACK! the rifle fired, the silencer barely able to contain the noise. Brian smirked as employees in the hallway jumped. Hey, he had to entertain himself SOMEHOW, right? Brian gathered the bullets and lined them up in the comparison microscope. Then he handed off his gloves -- gun shot residue and all -- to one of the CSI's.
"Alrighty," he said with a sigh of accomplishment, "Get me a profile on that GSR, and match some bullets. We'll connect these dots and put a killer behind bars with enough time left over to get home before all the reruns start."
While the CSIs went off to finish up the case, Brian called the district attorney and told him they would soon have enough evidence to press charges against the assassin.

Sam looked at Rhia after Brian had walked away, and then grabbed the GSR covered gloves, the bullets and the rifle. "How's Danny holding up?" she asked, while walking to the DNA lab, where she was expecting to find Lilly and Natalia. As she did.

Brian kept the door to his office open. He was at a kind of junction in the hallway, so he could see a few of the different labs if he left the door open. He looked at the bustle of activity in the DNA lab, where someone had apparently found something on the gun. And he looked over to the trace lab, where someone was working on comparing GSR samples. And he was also eying his computer, where he had pulled up a certain car dealership...
He didn't have the money for anything right now, but he figured that there'd be a raise for the entire crime lab if they manage to solve this case. The wife's family murdered, a foreign crime ring, corrupt federal agents, attempts on law enforcement, including the sheriff, of all people! The sheriff would be especially pleased when they put people behind bars with the proper charges. Brian leaned back. Yes, soon, he'd be able to afford some nice things.
That reminds me, Brian thought, I ought to order some flowers for the whole team. They're doing a tremendous amount of work and a splendid job -- and this is the first case for many of them!

Rhia let out a sigh of relief, when she had put that gun out of her hands - into other, trustworthy ones. "Well... I don't know. He hasn't called me yet...", she answered Sam. Seeing that everything was under control now, she excused herself. Maybe she should take the time to improve her appearance. Disappearing into the locker room, she washed her face, her hands and combed the dirt out of her hair. Having finished she sat down on a bench and closed her eyes. The day was already long enough - it had to end soon. She relaxed a bit and leant her head back. Suddenly she jerked it forward again. No time for rest now. She needed to do something... so Rhia strolled down the corridor and stopped in front of the DNA lab, where she could watch three of her workers. She smiled and leaned agains the doorframe, keeping silent.
