Grissom and the rest of the team where called out there to process the scene. No one who had been in the room was allowed to leave the building until they had been questioned. The team looked around the room. The lights were still flashing overhead causing Grissom�s head hurt. �Someone, please see about having those lights shut off.�
Catherine was the closet to him. She knew about how serious his headaches could get so she agreed to go. Grissom nodded his thanks and watched her go. He, then, focused on the rest of his team. �Nick, Sara, I want you two to take pictures and check the area around the victim. Warrick I need you to help me question the witnesses.� They split up and began what looked to be a long night.
Grissom was beginning to feel like he was on another planet. Everyone seemed to have green, or blue, or purple hair, tattoos, and body piercing everywhere. The girl he was questioning was no different. She had jet-black hair, with red streaks dyed down the sides. �What�s your name?� he asked her.
�Jayden.�
�Is that your real name?�
�No, but it�s what I go by. My real name is none of your concern.�
�I�m investigating a possible homicide. Everyone and everything here is my concern.� Grissom responded as a matter-of-factly.
Jayden glared at him and started to walk off, but he grabbed her arm. �We�re not done here. Where were you at when the lights went off.�
�I was dancing over there by the D.J.�
�Did you know the victim?�
�No. I�ve never seen him in here before.�
�Do you come here a lot?�
�Yes. I come here about every night when I get off from work.� She glared at him with annoyance. �Can I go now? I think I�ve answered enough of your questions.�
Grissom nodded and let her pass. He didn�t think she would be of any more help. He glanced over to Warrick. Warrick was busy talking to a guy with green hair and a nail through his nose. �Young people� he thought and decided to see if he could find the manager.
The dance floor was now completely empty. Nick and Sara were busy taking pictures and looking for anything that would give them a hint as to what happened. �What do you think happened here?� Nick asked as he bent down to take another picture of the body. Sara glanced over from the other side of the body. �I really don�t know. I don�t see an entry wound from a gunshot.� Right when Nick finished his last picture the E.M.T.�s took the body. �Hopefully Warrick or Grissom talked to someone who knows what happened.� Sara said.
Nick shook his head. �It was dark, I�m betting you couldn�t see two feet in front of you in here with the lights out.�
�Well, that makes our job harder.�
�Yeah, I�m done here, you wanna go see if Grissom or Warrick needs any help?�
�Nah, go ahead. I�m gonna see if I can find something around here. You never know.�
�Good luck.� Nick said and then he headed for Warrick.
Catherine was busy talking to the manager when Grissom walked up. The manager shook Grissom�s hand. �I�m still stunned. Never in my years of business, has anything like this happened before.�
Catherine sighed. �I�m sure you have had your fair share of fights in here though.�
�Of course, but it is a club and people do tend to fight. Especially when they are drunk.�
Grissom then asked the manager if he knew the victim.
�No. I�ve never seen him in here before. He came in and began to dance with a girl in the middle of the dance floor. Then the lights died. When they came up, well you know the rest.�
�Do you know the girl he was dancing with?� Grissom asked.
�Sure do. She�s a regular here. Her real name is Rebecca but everyone calls her Becca.�
�Do you know where she is now?�
�I�m assuming she went home after she was questioned.�
�I didn�t question her. Maybe Warrick did. Thank you for your help.�
�Anytime.�
Grissom and Catherine walked away and headed for Warrick and Nick. Warrick acknowledged them. �Everyone I�ve talked to has never meet the victim, and none of them saw or heard anything.� Grissom was expecting that. He looked to Nick. �Did you or Sara find anything?�
�Sara is still looking, but the body didn�t show anything that suggests the cause of death.�
�I guess our good Doc will have to determine that for us. Warrick did you happen to speak with a girl named Becca?�
Warrick flipped through his notes. �Nope. Sorry.�
Grissom turned to look at Catherine. �She must have left before we could talk to her. Go and ask the manager for her address. I�m going back to see what the doc says. Warrick go with Catherine.�
Nick watched them leave. �What about me?�
�Help Sara, search outside maybe the clue we need is out there.�
Nick and Grissom headed off in opposite directions.
