You're Screwed

-------------------------------------

The wind whistled softly, rustly the leaves of the trees quietly. An air of menace hung there like a thick fog. A teenage girl shivered and tripped over a lump in the ground. When she down, she found a man sprawled out of the ground who was deathly still. She looked closer to see a screw secured in the middle of his forehead.

-----------------------------

Greg sanders surveyed the scene carefully. It looked as though the "Driller Killer" had claimed his 12th victim. It was obvious that this was not the primary crime scene. Like all the ohers, it was a dump site. He looked at the body and turned away in disgust. He was bruised, punctured with nails and had "E" written out in hot melt glue. The glue itself was uniquely red.

Quickly Greg swept into action. Taking photo's of the scene and any possible evidence. His partner for this case was his best friend Nick Stokes.

"Hey Nicky, what'd you find?" Greg called.

"Not much. What about you?" Nick replied.

"Pretty much the same as last time. Nothing Probative," Greg answered, "It's an "E" this time."

"Well, by the looks of it, he's spelling out "You are screwed."

"Do you think when he's done, he'll stop?" Greg asked quietly.

"Maybe, but he might just spell it out over and over again," Nick replied,

"Greg what's wrong, you've gotten all quiet lately."

"Nick, describe the profile of the vic's" Greg said suddenly.

Nick looked at him strangely, but complied, "Late twenties, caucasion, male, somewhat slender and all of them worked a graveyard shift."

"Now describe me as a physical profile," Greg told him.

"Late twenties, caucasion... oh," Nick said.

"Yeah, oh," Greg replied.

"Well it's not like anyones been following you, right?" Nick asked.

"No," Greg answered.

"Or theatened you?" He continued.

"No," Greg said.

"Well, then stop worrying so much, you're just paranoid," Nick reassured him.

"Yeah, I was just being silly," Greg laughed a little, but his fears hadn't left him at

all.

--------------------------------------

Back at the lab, the two CSI's laid out all of their evidence in front of them. This guy hadn't left much behind.

"Okay, this is what we know," Nick said, "He tortures his victims for two days. We don't know how he restrains them though. Then he drills a screw into the vic's forehead."

"That must take awhile," Greg commented looking at a picture of the victim's wound, "must hurt too."

"Yeah," Nick agreed.

"Should we go back to the other crime scenes? See if we missed something?" Greg asked.

"We went over thoses scenes with a fine tooth comb, but yeah. Lets go over them all again. Starting with the first, " Nick answered.

"Hopefully we'll catch him before he claims his next victim," Greg said.
