It was past midnight, and Lilly was still looking through boxes, when her phone started ringing. "Excuse me," she said to her coworkers who were still with her. She walked over to the steps and sat down before she answered her phone.

"Rush," she answered.

"Hey Lil, it's Chris," Christina replied.

"What do you want, I'm busy," Lilly said quietly having noticed her partner watching her.

"I just wanted to see when you'd be home," Christina said tiredly.

Lilly sighed. "I probably won't be back tonight." Lilly was exhausted, but there was so much work to do on the case, and she didn't like to leave things unfinished.

"What, you staying at Scotty's tonight or something?" Christina teased. Lilly glared at the wall ahead of her. There was nothing going on between her and Scotty, and she couldn't understand why her sister thought there was.

"No, I'm working. There were a bunch of murders last night, and I need to be here. Is there anything else? Or can I hang up now?" Lilly kept her voice quiet but Christina could tell that she was pissed.

"It's just that... I was planning on meeting up with some people tomorrow afternoon, do you think you'll be back?

"Work people, or friends people?" Lilly asked impatiently.

"Both, kind of. People I worked with at the Tavern," Chris answered. "I figure I might be able to get my job back," she added.

"Yeah right. You stole from them and you left without warning; there's not a chance you'll get a job there," Lilly explained.

"It's worth a shot, isn't it?" Chris asked.

"No, Chris. Honestly, I can't even go in there without getting glares from the owner. Just because your sister. I'm not going to look after your daughter while you go drink with some old coworkers. You can either take Ashley with you or you can tell them it'll have to be another time." Lilly explained. "Now, if you don't mind, I've got work to do," Lilly added before hanging up her phone. Lilly rested her head in her hands for a moment before she finally stood up and made her way back to the others.

Lilly leaned against one of the shelves of boxes next to her partner. "You okay?" Scotty asked quietly and Lilly nodded.

"I'm fine," she answered before looking up at Will. "Where are we at?" she asked curiously. It was just the three of them left, and Lilly figured it wouldn't be long before Will called it a night as well.

"We've found thirteen of the fifteen cold cases. We're missing number one and number ten. Murder number one could be a victim from who knows when, any time before March 3, 2000. Murder victim number ten was murdered between December 2nd, 2002, and June 15th, 2003," Will explained.

"All of the victims are female, and it appears that the doer cut off the hair of each victim," Scotty added. "Each victim was said to have long blond hair before she was murdered."

"So, this guy's got some sort of obsession with blond hair," Lilly stated. "What's the age range of the victims?" she asked after thinking for a moment.

"The youngest were twelve year old twins, the oldest was forty-six," Will answered.

"Big range," Scotty commented.

"I'll help you guys carry these boxes upstairs, but then I'm going to head home. You should do the same too," Will said as he lifted a couple of boxes. Lilly and Scotty both lifted some boxes as well and followed him up the stairs.

When all of the boxes were piled up next to their desks, Will finally took off. Lilly sat at her desk, scanning through the files, Scotty did the same at his own desk. Lilly was looking through the files of the twins, unable to believe how little work was done on the case.

"What's up?" Scotty asked after noticing the expression on his partner's face.

"I'm just looking through the files of the twin girls. They were only twelve, they were murdered on the same day, yet there's practically nothing. Only two interviews, and they only spent one week on the case before it went cold," Lilly explained sadly.

"Sounds like they had given up," Scotty said as he stood up and made his way over to his partner's desk. "Who was interviewed?" Scotty asked as he leaned against her desk.

"The parents," Lilly answered, handing Scotty the interviews. But they also could have interviewed the friends that the girls were supposed to be out with that night, and the older brother," Lilly explained.

"Maybe we can see to talking to them on Monday," Scotty said as he quickly scanned through the interview.

"Have you found anything?" Lilly asked, looking up at him.

Scotty shook his head. "Not really. I noticed that the later cases went cold pretty fast, just like these two though," Scotty explained. "By the end of 2002 there were at least nine murders. It looks like they gave up after that."

Lilly leaned back into her chair and yawned. "You ready to call it a night? You look tired," Scotty commented and Lilly shook her head.

"I'm fine. There's too much to do, I'm going to stay a bit longer," Lilly said tiredly.

"And knowing you, a bit probably means all night," Scotty laughed lightly. Lilly shrugged.

"I got nothing better to do," she laughed.

"Right, who needs sleep," he teased.

Lilly nearly jumped when her phone started to ring again. She excused herself again, and made her way into the sitting area so she wouldn't be overheard by Scotty. "Rush," she answered. She looked up at the clock and realized it was nearly two in the morning.

"It's me again," she heard her sister's voice on the other end along with the cries of her niece. "Ashley's crying and screaming and I don't know what she needs, I thought you might be able to figure it out." Christina said tiredly into the phone.

"Is she hungry? Need a diaper change? Maybe her diaper's too tight. Or she could just want to be held," Lilly said as she watched her partner. Scotty had gone back to his own desk and had opened up a new box. Every once in a while he sneaked a peek back at Lilly to make sure she was okay.

"I tried to feed her, but she wasn't hungry. I just changed her diaper. She was sleeping fine before, but now she's crying. I've been walking around with her for the past thirty minutes, and she won't stop," Christina explained, her frustration and exhaustion clear in her voice.

"Make sure the diaper's too tight. It could be uncomfortable for her and give her a rash," Lilly sighed into the phone. Lilly waited while Christina dealt with Ashley.

"I think that was it, but she's still crying," Christina was beginning to panic. "What's wrong, Lilly. I have no clue what I'm doing."

"Don't worry Christina, she's probably fine. Just hold her, and she should stop crying soon," Lilly said.

"Okay, thanks," Christina said and Lilly closed her phone. When she went back into the larger room, Scotty was on the phone. Lilly walked over to her desk as Scotty hung up.

"Sounds like there's been two more murders," Scotty began. "They found number 22 earlier tonight. Haven't found 21, but she's probably out there somewhere," Scotty explained.

"This guy's out of control," Lilly replied. "We got to catch him before things get worse." Scotty nodded and went back to looking through the files. Despite her exhaustion, Lilly sat back down at her desk and read through everything more than once. She hardly noticed the time go by, but was still there at nine the next morning when Lieutenant Stillman came in.
