Catherine smiled, �Yeah, well let�s see if he has any sense.�
They walked up to the door and knocked. A man in his mid twenties opened the door. He stared at them. �Can I help you?�
�Sir, we are with the Las Vegas Crime Lab. My name is Catherine Willows and this is Sara Sidle. May we ask you a few questions?�
�Sure�
�Sir, what do you do for a living?�
�I work for a business firm. I schedule meetings and confirm certain plans.�
�Do you have a computer?�
�Of course.� He was starting to look uncomfortable. �May I ask what this is about?�
Sara was getting tired of being nice. �Sir, do you sell computers?�
�Yes, sometimes I sell the ones from work that we don�t need anymore.�
�Were do you sell them at?� asked Catherine.
�Different places. I just sold one today at Gary�s Pawn Shop.�
�Did you know that the computer you sold had the serial number scratched out of it.�
Paul had a very surprised look on his face. He really didn�t seem to know about this new information. Sara didn�t know if it was a look of surprise or a look of a caught in the act person. �Sir, where did you get the computer?� she asked. Paul thought about it for a minute. �I bought it from some school kids. They said that they were selling the old computers from their school to get new ones. Of course I didn�t need a new computer but I knew that the schools are in desperate need of them.�
Catherine began to process this. �Did you buy it at the school?� Paul shook his head no. �Then you really didn�t know if what they were telling you was true or not. How much did you pay for the computer?�
� One hundred.�
Cat shook her head �That�s a lot of money to dish out when you don�t know for sure if the money is going were they said it was.�
�Look lady, they were school kids, wanting money. I�m not going to turn my back on a school who needs help.�
�Did you think to ask which school the money was going to?� Again he shook his head no. �Could you describe what the kids looked like?�
�Sure.�
�I would like you to come down to the crime lab and describe them to one of our artists. Think you could do that for me?�
�Yeah, anything to help, and possibly get my money back for being ripped off.�
Sara couldn�t take it. �Actually the money you get back will go to Gary, you see you also sold him a stolen computer.� With that she went and waited in the car.
Back at the crime lab, Paul was sitting in a room with one of the artists. He was describing what the kids looked like. When it was done, the artist had a picture of two teenage girls. One of the girls had long black hair and blue eyes. The other had blonde hair and brown eyes. �That�s them.� Paul said. Catherine was standing beside Paul. �Thanks we will run the picture through our computer system.� Paul was allowed to leave.
Catherine then took the photo to a computer tech. After a search was done, two names popped up. �Allison Morris and Morgan Ramsland.� Catherine smiled. �Well ladies it seems you are about to have some company.�
Allison and Morgan were outside Morgan�s house when a Tahoe pulled up. A woman stepped out of the car. �Excuse me, I am looking for Morgan Ramsland,� the woman said.
�That�s me�
�Hi, I�m with the Vegas crime lab. I need to ask you some questions.� Catherine said.
�Why?�
�I�m investigating a case and I found out you sold a computer to Paul Kahn. You said it was for a school project.�
�So?� Morgan sounded irritated. �I sold a computer big deal. If you want it go talk to that man.�
�I did and I found out that the computer had been stolen, before you sold it to Mr. Kahn.�
�Look, lady, I don�t think you can come here and blame me for stealing it. I had no idea it was stolen.�
Allison then spoke up. �Don�t you need a warrant to come in and ask these things.�
�No.� Catherine then looked at Allison. �Are you Allison Morris?�
�Yes�
�Good because you helped Morgan sell it. I need you both to come back with me to answer some more questions.�
Allison got mad and she was about to take a swing at Catherine when Morgan stopped her. �Don�t Ally, she�s not worth it, besides we don�t have to do anything we don�t want to.�
�I can get a warrant if I need to. I was hoping you would both come willingly. You don�t have anything to hide do you?�
Morgan answered her. �No, we don�t. Okay we will go but, I�m not sure if we can help you out or not.�
