A busy Day
NYPDDetHarper: Um.. hey Jackie.. have you um, seen Munch today?
dtjbarr: *looks up* No....why?
NYPDDetHarper: I just thought that um.. *looks around the pretty much empty squadroom and sighs* I need to get out of here for a bit, I don't want to just...leave that with you, but..could you tell him that for me?
dtjbarr: So, if I see him, tell him you had to head out...I can do that. *looks him over* You ok?
NYPDDetHarper: *smiles slightly* Yeah.. I'm ok... thanks Jackie. I owe you one.
dtjbarr: Hey, *smiles back* No problem. Next time you see Caro, tell her I said hi.
NYPDDetHarper: I.. will. See you tomorrow. *grabs his stuff and starts to head out*
dtjbarr: Bye!
NYPDDetHarper: *leaves*
DtJohnMunch: ::walks in, in the morning, sees Jackie at her desk:: Hey, Barr...
dtjbarr: Hey Cap.....Harper was just looking for you.
DtJohnMunch: Oh?
dtjbarr: Yeah, he had to head out....wanted me to tell you.
DtJohnMunch: ::nods:: Right...hey your partner's sick.
DtJohnMunch: Won't be back till Monday.
dtjbarr: *nods* I heard...the flu's a bitch.
DtJohnMunch: Till then--*big smirk*--you're with Oh Yells-a-lot.
dtjbarr: *shakes her head* C'mon boss...you're pairing me with dumbass?
DtJohnMunch: ::smirks:: Just be glad I'm not pairing you with Logan.
dtjbarr: I can handle Logan....*smirks back* Maybe I should call Frankie for some Stabler-handling tips..
DtJohnMunch: I'm sure he'll be nice to you.
DtJohnMunch: He's nice to women, as long as he's not in love with them.
dtjbarr: *laughs* I'll have to remember that...
DtJohnMunch: You guys need to get to the morgue today.
dtjbarr: Well, since it is the morgue, I'm sure I could go by myself..
DtJohnMunch: You could.
dtjbarr: On it, boss...*grins* See you soon...
dtjbarr: *stands up and heads out*
DtJohnMunch: ::smiles:: Later Barr
DrRodgers: ::DoinkDoink:: The Morgue::
DrRodgers: ::Rodgers is overlooking a body on a slab::
dtjbarr: *walks over to Rodgers* Hey...I'm here about Det. Baer...
DrRodgers: ::turns around:: Ah, Det. Barr. Such a pleasant change of pace from the usual yokels they send.
DrRodgers: ::smirks:: You'll have to send my regards to Sgt. Munch.
dtjbarr: *laughs* I'll do that...
DrRodgers: So...::more serious:: Det. Baer?
dtjbarr: Yeah..what was the cause of death?
DrRodgers: Here...hold on...
DrRodgers: ::she motions for Jackie to follow::
dtjbarr: *follows along*
DrRodgers: ::she pulls out a drawer--the body of Corey Baer::
dtjbarr: *does her best to keep a straight face, and actually succeeds*
DrRodgers: ::shows the body and marks mentioned as she talks:: His spine and neck were crushed by the chandelier. He died instantly.
DrRodgers: ::raises an arm:: There were signs of struggle, scratch marks and post-mortem bruising on each arm.
DrRodgers: ::grim:: It was quick.
DrRodgers: The struggle, and the death.
dtjbarr: *a bit confused* So somebody fought with him, and then dropped the chandelier to finish him off?
DrRodgers: My guess, is that there were two somebodys.
DrRodgers: One who struggled with him, moved him to where the chandelier would hit him, as they fought.
DrRodgers: And the other one dropped the chandelier.
dtjbarr: But, that would be dangerous for the guy fighting with Corey, wouldn't it?
dtjbarr: I mean he could have been hurt or killed..
DrRodgers: ::moves her mouth to the side a bit:: I almost forgot.
DrRodgers: ::motions::
dtjbarr: *follows again*
DrRodgers: Needle marks. In his arm.
dtjbarr: *brow furrows* Did you find any drugs in his system?
DrRodgers: Sedatives. Now look at the position of the needle mark. Back of the arm.
dtjbarr: So he was facedown...
dtjbarr: ?
DrRodgers: Or...turn around.
dtjbarr: Any trace evidence found?
DrRodgers: ::motions again:: Turn around.
dtjbarr: *turns*
DrRodgers: You're Baer. You're investigating something or other and you think there's no one there. ::grabs her arm by the elbow, and with a swift motion, makes a mock-jabbing with a pen to the back of her arm::
dtjbarr: *tenses slightly, remembering the last time somebody grabbed her from behind* and that's when the struggle started...
DrRodgers: ::releases her:: Yes. And he was already sedated.
dtjbarr: How long do you think it took for him to pass out?
DrRodgers: ::shakes her head:: He never passed out. They fought with him till they had him where they wanted him. Whoever it was got out of the way and the other one dropped the chandelier on him.
dtjbarr: *sighs* I hope he didn't see it coming.
DrRodgers: Only they and him know that.
dtjbarr: I figured.. *another pause* Find any weird fibers or anything like that?
DrRodgers: Oddly, no.
DrRodgers: Not like the other ones.
DrRodgers: We're running the tissue from the scratch marks.
dtjbarr: Was he assaulted?
dtjbarr: Sexually, I mean..
DrRodgers: ::she shakes her head:: Again, not like the other ones....
dtjbarr: If only we knew what he was going after..
DrRodgers: ::she sighs::
NickTramonti: ::Nick walks in, carrying coffee and various files::
Dr. Rodgers: ::smirk:: Tramonti--you have results on something for me?
dtjbarr: Hi Nick..
Dr. Rodgers: ::she raises an expectant brow::
NickTramonti: I do... ::ruffles files:: somewhere...
NickTramonti: Um. ::hands Barr the coffee::
dtjbarr: *takes the coffee with a smile*
Dr. Rodgers: ::eyeroll:: You've been spending too much time with Henley...you're getting absentminded like him...
NickTramonti: Right. Right. Hmmm... ok... tissue samples, was it?
NickTramonti: ::reads from the file:: The foreign tissues found in the scratches on Corey's arms match the DNA of one Eric Morris.
NickTramonti: He was convicted of felony assault in the early 90s.
dtjbarr: That name's familiar..
NickTramonti: ::looks at Barr expectantly:: Old boyfriend?
dtjbarr: *smirks* No....another theater guy.
NickTramonti: Ahhh.
NickTramonti: I must've been thinking of Logan. He's the one who's dated most of the felons in the city.
dtjbarr: Logan's dated just about everyone...but don't say that around Millie..
dtjbarr: I'd better call Bobby....*pulls out her phone*
NickTramonti: ::grins:: Hi Rodgers. how's it hanging?
Dr. Rodgers: ::smirks as she puts Corey back in the drawer::
Dr. Rodgers: Well, Logan's not here to annoy me. Goren's not here to tilt his head at me. I think I'm doing well.
NickTramonti: Having mad morgue parties? ::does some boogieing::
Important Notes
- Corey was sedated and died instantly
- Scratches on his body had Eric Morris's DNA
- Two people were probably involved, one to drug and move, the other to drop.
- No sexual assault or fibers found
