    Author Notes:

    Yea..formatting fixed: Bette gets a first look at forensics

    Computers and the analysis they offer had transformed the forensic field. Computer modeling was now admissible in almost every court in the country and virtually all jurisdictions aggressively invested in new technologies to ensure their CSI teams had what they needed when they needed it.

    Blood splatter analysis was no exception and most forensic technicians gladly leaned on computer modeling to aid their analysis. There were the holdouts, of course, who insisted that nothing beat the simplicity and beauty of stringing a crime scene.

    Stringing involves analyzing the depth and width of an individual splatter. Using a fairly complex formula, the metrics of the splatter itself provide the degree of angle at which the blood struck its final resting place. Using a thumbtack and yarn, the CSI can then trace the path of the splatter back to its point of origin.

    CSIs truly wedded to this process use color coding so that a mere glance can tell you splatters deposited via a downward blow, an upward blow and everything else in between. Even though James was a young and extraordinarily gifted CSI when it came to utilizing new technologies, he was hopelessly devoted to stringing.

    Once I was done stringing, your crime scene spoke to me, James said in a deadly-serious tone. No computer could have made sense out of what we found today. He paused letting silence lend his words the desired dramatic effect. I am going to e-mail you the e-photos of the room. While you are printing, we can talk about a few other things I found.

    While Bette opened her laptop and accessed e-mail, James continued. Its definitely your guy Bette. Hes incredibly careful, a regular Mr. Clean. James said with both disgust and slight admiration coloring his words. No latent prints, no forced access and even though your victim put up one ***** of a struggle, I think he cleaned under her nails.

    James now had her full attention. What, how could you tell? Bette asked intrigued by this departure from the previous murders.

    Well know more after the full autopsy, James said. But you could tell from the splatter detail and the movement throughout the apartment that this girl fought for her life. From the defensive wounds alone, I knew hed had a fight on his hands and was surprised when the nails were clean. I scoped them and you can see miniscule cuts and scrapings of the surface tissue right under the nails. Well need final testing to confirm, but I think there was even some blood too far down the nail bed to have settled their naturally, James paused knowing that Bette was taking notes. He used the same knife Bette, the murder weapon, to clean his skin from under her nails.

    1. Great story, Sox. Re: formatting. The page generator is expecting html formatting to be embedded in your text. Manually adding a

      or two at the beginning of each paragraph may be enough to make it readable for now.

    2. Sorry Sox, forgot that I couldn’t use the actual html code within a comments box – it gets blanked out. So I’ll describe the key-symbols in longhand.

      Basically you’ll be manually adding a

      ‘sharp parentheses left’ p ‘sharp parentheses right’

      at the beginning of each paragraph.

    4. DAMN WONDERFUL STORY AND CHAPTER….WHO CARES ABOUT THE FORMATTING, ALL I KNOW IS YOU MUST CONTINUE..PLEASE..I AM SITTING AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT AWESOME CHAPTER…PLEASE POST REAL SOON….THANKS

    5. I don’t know why but your story makes me think about a great book (I don’t remember the title) and a movie with Denzel Washington, who was quadriplegic and Angelina Jolie. I think it’s the feeling of your story when I read it. It’s gripping. Thank you

    6. I have to admit that I don’t watch any of the ‘crime’ shows on TV. They are too dark and depressing for me…all that violence and hatred in the world. But, I am totally and completely hooked on this story…and it is because of your writing. Thank you.

    8. OMG! What are you a Crime Scene Investigator? Your details are great, I really feel like I’m in this situation with them. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. PLEASE post again soon!

      DX

    19. I read and don’t normally comment……..but you write so well, so clearly and have such a sense of timing when you write…..it makes me want more. Don’t worry at all about the formatting, just write.

    22. Sox,
      Brilliant blending of The L Word and murder mystery.
      Am wondering if it will be a whodunnit rather than an interesting plot device to put a new slant on a familiar relationship.
      Anyhoo, that said, am just loving it.
      You have a real flair for this type of story. The scenes have been slowly and seductively set-up, crisp fresh dialogue that fairly bumps along mixed in with some genuine intrigue.
      Please continue this fabulous fan fic and bollocks to the formatting.
      I have need to read.
      Thanks for sharing your talent.
      A Loyal Fan.

      a MOST gracious ten thumbs up to you and your story telling. continued success and cannot wait to read the concluding chapters.

    29. Wonderful detail and scene layout. Are you in law enforcement or a CSI? If not, your research is awesome. Who is this guy or….could it be a female killer? How rare are female serial killers? Maybe a female Jeckel & Hyde? Can’t wait until your next installment.

    30. sox – another great chapter – this mystery plus these characters makes for an intriquing heart-wrenchig new addition to my addiction for Bette and Tina. What can I say but thanks for writing so so beautifully. Are you a cop – you certainly seem to know your stuff??
