Crime Scene Investigators: Part 1


My favorite childhood story was “It Looked like Spilt Milk” by Charles G. Shaw.

The opening line of this story is: “Sometimes it looked like spilt milk.”


Sometimes it looked like spilt milk. But it wasn’t always that easy, especially whenever it comes to the new cases we get every day. Today was different though, because today we got three new cases. All three cases might have been linked together somehow. For they all happened the same, and about an hour apart from each other. Detective McGee got assigned to one of the three cases. McGee however did not seem pleased with his boss Gibbs. Even though, Gibbs planned on going with him to the scene of the crime. Gibbs planned on going down and seeing Ducky before they left. However, when Gibbs got down there to the lab were Ducky worked, he soon came to find out that Ducky wasn’t there. As Gibbs was leaving he ran smack-dab right into Abby, who was on her way to her lab to get some blood tests ran on some of the blood that got found at the other crime scene from the day before. Gibbs told Abby “Hey, I’m sorry didn’t see you there. Will you do me a favor?” Abby said “Hey its ok, no harm done. Yeah sure what do you need me to do?” “Well whenever you see Ducky tell him he might need to get all his equipment ready for this next operation. Whenever I went down there nothing was being setup or anything,” said Gibbs. Abby seemed a little bit confused on the matter but said “Yeah, sure, I will let him know that you stopped in there to check up on him, but that will be after I get done with the blood tests. I will see you whenever you get back that’s if it’s not too late,” Abby snickered as she walked off, seeming to pay more attention to what she needed to get done, than to what Gibbs had said. Gibbs was on his way out whenever he met McGee at the door, who said “Well Detective, are you ready to this wonderful day on?” Gibbs just shook his head and said “Yeah, sure, let’s get this over with before anything else happens.”

                As Gibbs and McGee arrived at 2526 Central Street Monett, or the scene of the crime, they came to find out that the police were still crawling all over along with a couple of paramedics, who at the time were trying to move the body. Therefore ruining the evidence, so Gibbs and McGee took off in a dead sprint towards them and started yelling at them to stop, and they did and the first male paramedic asked him what was wrong. Gibbs strong fully stated that if they would have moved that body any further they would have been involved into the case, were they would have to testify what had happened to the evidence. Both male paramedic stopped what he was doing and went back to the ambulance, but before the other male paramedic went back, he stopped by McGee and stated that if they needed anything or any help at all with the body to contact them, for they knew how to take care of a real dead body. McGee just shook his head and said “Yeah, sure,” and went to catch up to Gibbs. As Gibbs and McGee approached the body they both got a sense of something was not even close to being right. As Gibbs started to look the body over, McGee started to look over the other evidence that was marked around the body. Gibbs turned toward the woman and started looking over her. He started from the neck up on her. The woman had some marks on her throat from where she had struggled, and then she had a few bruises on the left side of her face. As Gibbs started to look over the rest of her body he noticed that her right hand was swollen and bruised and had, what looked like rope burns on it. He started to look at her stomach which had a couple of puncture wounds in it from where someone had stabbed her with (possibly) a blunt object. As Gibbs finished looking over her, he thought to himself this is going to be a really weird case, before it is all said and done today.

                When McGee got done collecting evidence he went over towards Gibbs and stated that there was a big blood trail from the body, a box of matches from the local bar (the VFW), and her purse. Her purse consisted of a nail file, pepper spray, and her wallet which had nothing in it but her I.D. Gibbs shook his head and said “well we need to get this stuff back to the lab, as soon as we can,” McGee agreed and turned to a couple of the cops and said “we need this body back at our station in five minutes.” The cops nodded and started to do their job. McGee and Gibbs started their way back to the labs, to see if Abby was up to anything. Whenever they found Abby she was jamming to some music and dancing all around her lab while some tests were running. Gibbs turned off her stereo, which threw her off and she asked “Hey Gibbs, what’s up?” As Gibbs went to reply McGee replied for him and said “well, we got a lot of test for you to run as soon as you can,” Abby laughed and said “what kind of tests.” Gibbs wasn’t about to let McGee have the spotlight again so he said “just some blood tests, and maybe a couple of other tests, really depends on if we find anything in our victims body,” Abby laughed and asked “are you guys having a competition today on who can collect the most evidence?” Both McGee and Gibbs started laughing and were kind of thrown off and said quietly “no I don’t think so, why do you ask? Is there supposed to be one going on between us?” Abby shooed them off and said “nope not at all” as they started out the door.

10 Anti-Resolutions for 2013

I can honestly say I have never done anything like this before, so here goes nothing. Here are my Anti-Resolutions for 2013 :)

1. I do not plan on getting married this year.

My friends that are close to me know that this will be hard for me, considering I will be going to Eureka Springs Arkansas

 
2. I do not plan on watching kids as another job.

We all know this one will be hard for me, considering I got five siblings that are younger than me. :( So they are always in need of watching, but I will not watch them and let someone else take over that role.

3. I am not big on the whole big city places to live.

                So whenever I move out, I can bet you the place I move won’t be that big to me. :)

4. When it comes to everything with graduation, I do not plan on crying in front of my friends, family, and people I do not know whenever they hand me my diploma.

This is going to be hard considering I am a really emotional person, whenever it comes to something big.

5. I do not simply plan on losing weight this year.

Whenever I try to lose weight, I keep finding myself gaining it. So whenever I go to lose weight I might try a couple different things to try and keep on the weight (but this time it will be muscle).

6. I will not let my Senioritis kick in on this last semester of school.

This is hard because it is the last semester, so I will tend to be lazier towards school. It won’t matter what classes I attend, but I will have to start working towards being more aware of everything in my classes and keeping up with everything.

7. I do not plan on doing anything fancy in art.

When it comes to doing something fancy in art, you have to take into consideration that it will be very time consuming. No matter how elegant it will turn out. So who would want to spend all their time on one piece of art work, and there be a possibility of it turning out great.

8. I will not write essays more than a page or two long.

When it comes to writing essays they are very time consuming, and sometimes they never turn out the way you want them to. So when I go to write an essay it will just be plain, simple and straight to the point, no matter how boring it is. :)

9. I will start getting more motivated for my first hour class.

During first hour it is very hard for me to get motivated because I am NOT a morning person at all. So instead of just coming to school, falling asleep in class, I might as well get motivated and come to school prepared and in a good mood.

10.  During study hall I will start getting work done for once.

During study hall I hardly ever do anything depending on the teacher I have because I always have nothing to do. But I will start bringing things to class to get out of that state of boredom, which always comes with nothing to do.
