She laughed softly. "Well, maybe when the case is done, I could show you my collection that I have at home. It's actually quite impressive, and I have permits for them all. Then I'd really like to see those fans of yours."

Lilly told Brian the name of the cleaning company (sorry can't think of a good name) and thanked him.

While her colleagues were working on the case, Rhia had to deal with a very agitated mayor.
"I assure you, mayor, all people of my department are working on the case. We are doing everything possible, but there are some technichal procedures which are taking some time to be performed accurateley...", at this point she was interrupted and furrowed her brow. She was now talking to the mayor for about 15 minutes and he just didn't seem to understand anything.
"We are working as fast as possible. And we've already made some good progress, but we mustn't act precipitous. If we catch the wrong guy, all we get is bad publicity and this is something we both don't want, do we?", she knew she had sounded a bit too harsh, but she had managed to shut him up - finally.
"I will inform you as soon as we make any progress. Now I'll go see if I can be of help in the progress of analysing evidence. Goodbye!", Rhia said shortly, but politley and hung up. She sighed, massaged her temples to stop the starting headache and closed her eyes.
What did they have so far? A victim who couldn't be questioned, because he still was in shock. A note - where was Sam? The glass cube, where there wasn't anything on it. The rope - one of the hottest hints. An eye witness who saw a women in black break into their victim's house.
The pulsing in her head became stronger. She rested her head on the cool surface of her desk. There had to be something she overlooked.
A hemp rope...who used a hemp rope? Rhia opened her eyes and turned her laptop on. It was time for some research...

Brian left Alex with a lab tech to check out the machines in the lab, and then he drove off to Mr. Bubbles Cleaning Company. He fishtailed the car expertly when he reached the parking lot, swinging his car smoothly across two reserved parking spaces. The double-parking earned him some scowls from customers in the parking lot looking for spaces, but he scowled back and tapped the badge clipped to his belt. They understood immediately that he was not in the mood for any delays. Brian only hoped that the management would feel the same way.
He walked inside carrying a manila folder, pushed right to the front of the small line, and slapped the folder down on the front desk. "I need to speak with the highest authority here, immediately," he said, flashing his badge to the receptionist. She went and got a large foreign woman with a faint mustache, whose nametag read "Helga."
"What is this?" she demanded in a rather deep voice. "Helga, I'm detective Shefkowitz of the New York Police Department, homicide investigations. I need to speak with you in your office, please." "New York Police? You people pester us at least once a month. What is it this time? Eh? You caught a housemaid stealing jewelry?" "I think you'd rather have me tell you in your office." "I don't think I want your type anywhere near my office! You will tell me right now, I am not afraid. My family has been running this business since my grandfather came to America. Aside from your constant accusations, we have a sterling reputation!" "Very well," Brian said darkly. He flipped open the folder, which was full of the crime scene photos. One by one, he passed the images of Dr. Garrison, the little scalpel, and sketches the NYPD forensic artist had made of the woman Alex thought he saw in the Garrison house. As he showed Helga the most gruesome images, he explained, "This poor man here had an eye cut out while he was alive. He crawled around, half-blind, in the cold, dark wintery New York night for hours before passing out. We found him in the morning, and he's still in shock. Our only suspect is this athletic woman dressed in black and covered in blood. Your cleaning agency was on Dr. Garrison's payroll." "A man is tortured like this and you suspect my business because we clean his house?" "No. Not your business. But certainly one of your employees." "Bah! I told your colleague already, you will not have access to our records without a warrant!" Brian smiled. "Then you assume responsibility for the horrific attack on this man and the crimes that followed." She was angry, and she was stubborn. He could not intimidate her, but he could certainly provoke her. "How dare you!" She hissed, and slapped him, hard, across the face. He stumbled back a step, not expecting her strength. The customers and employees fell silent, unsure of what would happen next. But Brian was sure. He was sure the minute he knew she had a bit too much testosterone in her system. Brian drew his gun and aimed it at her head, and said in an even voice, "That was assault on an officer. Get on the floor, Helga. You are under arrest." Suddenly the whole store was swarming with angry employees and angry customers. Apparently, Helga was right. Despite her company's record of petty theft, people loved them. Brian fired two shots into the ceiling, the loud reports making everyone back off and shut up. "Right," Brian said. "Helga is under arrest. And if anyone has any problems with that, they can take it up with my partner here," and he shook his gun a little. "Now get on the floor, Helga, and put your hands behind your back. And next time a CSI asks you nicely for something, you'll hand it over with a smile before they come and get me to do it."
Brian's face stung, and he was sure he'd have a bruise. But, it was worth it. With the business owner under arrest for a felony, he now had every right to all her records, no warrant required. He just wished it didn't have to be this way. But something nagged at his mind. Why would Helga be so protective?

She was racking her brain over the pictures that she took on the roof. She felt as if she had left something there, but she couldn't figure it out. Taking a break, she took a walk around the lab to stretch her legs and to allow her eyes to rest. After a few minutes of relaxation, she headed back to take one more crack at the pictures to find the one thing that keeps avoiding her.

She had her head pressed against the table. Going through the pictures had been a waste of time. Looking at them from every possible angle she could think of didn't help her find the missing piece. All she had to show for it was a major headache and an irritable temper to match. Sighing, she sat in a chair and closed her eyes, going through her meditation that her sensei taught her years ago.

"Just that hair,that was left by either cleaning person or the intruder." she sighed; it seemed as if their luck was running out "Did you?" she asked hoping that Sam had found something, although trying not to get her hopes up high.

"Hmm. Not really. Maybe we should head back to the lab. I don't think there are a lot of other things to find here..." Sam nodded her head. "It's really weird. Houses are always filled with pieces of evidence of everything a person does and everything that happened to him or her, but here... I don't know. Whoever cleaned this place did a great job. And that's not very good for the case, I guess."

As Sasha entered one of the rooms she noticed Jade meditating. She didn't want to interrupt but the news she had were really good. "Hey Jade," nothing happened so she tried again just a little louder, but still nothing happened, so she just walked over and tapped Jade on her shoulder. Jade looked up and Sasha begun. "The fiber that was found on the crime scene matches the rope that you found and it also matches the fiber that I found in the glass box where the diamond used to be." she was almost finished "But there is no epithelials on the rope or the fibers which is okay seeing that the thief wore leather gloves.

"I didn't know the thief wore gloves....." A thought came to her and she looked at the pictures again. She noticed something there that she had missed before. "You said they were leather gloves?" she asked, looking up from the pictures. When she saw Sasha nod, she jumped up and headed for the door. "I'm heading back to the scene. Wanna come with me?"

Unbeknownst to the group, Brian had booked Helga into a holding cell and had spent the past hour or so going through her company's records, until he found what he was looking for. With a burst of excitement, he exploded into the main hallway with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Bingo!" He shouted gleefully. "Two women cleaned Dr. Garrison's house before the heist. Anna Maraselli, and Jocelyn Swanson. I've got their addresses right here, and I'm going to go round them up for you guys."
He tacked the piece of paper to the bulletin board, grabbed his coat, and hurried out the door once more.

As they headed to her car, she explained. "See, I didn't know the thief had used gloves because I was too busy working on the pictures to get that bit of info. When you told me that, I realized that I had actually missed something at the scene. I found a regular pair of work gloves, but didn't think anything of it." They reached her car and climbed in. She started the engine and peeled out of there rather quickly. Reaching the scene in record time, Jade smiled as she climbed out and headed to the building, Sasha close behind.

Evelyn looked at Sam who was giving up on finding anything. In the house at least. "Okay,let's go to the lab. Maybe on the way there we'll find something"she shot her a smile and started gathering all of the evidence collected. It wasn't much, just the contents and the drawer that the intruder opened in search of the way into the museum and some blood drops,and some hairs and prints. With Sam's help they were able to carry it without any problem. As Evelyn put the evidence and her kit in the back of the car, she offered for Sam to go with her, but Sam went in her own car. Suddenly Evelyn stopped. She went down the block when the thought hit her. The snow isn't level. She walked out of the car and walked towards the crime scene again. Sam saw her get out and walked towards her. Evelyn waited for her to come closer and then said." The snow isn't level. You see it was snowing for the past 12 hours, before that there was no snow what so ever. Here the amount of snow is a little bit smaller then over her. Which means there was a car her but it drove away and it started snowing on this spot. So if the intruder came at 12 am or 1 am, then tortured Dr. Garrison, then ransacked the house,then cleaned up, and finally drove away with the body of him intact then it gives her...assuming it was a she and not a he and a she was being a person who decided to steal something. Then it gives her minimum 3 hours before the security shifts change and early birds start coming in, to preform a surgery on Dr.Garrison and commit theft of the diamond. And I would find three hours just enough." Evelyn was a bit out of breath, but she was also done talking.
