[center]Nikki waited patiently as the woman's body was out in a black body bag and loaded onto a gurney, then loaded up into her morgue truck. She crossed her arms, waiting until they were all done. Looking around, something struck at her. She waved Brandon over. "This is strange. The other bodies were murdered on the scene, you could tell from the blood splatter; but this one, she wasn't murdered her. See?" She said, pointing to the area the woman was at. "There's hardly any blood. I'll have to look more closely back at the morgue, but I don't think she was just murdered. There would be more blood, a splatter, something. There's hardly anything." She said, letting out a sigh.

"Do you want to ride back, or are you going to stay here and catch a ride with one of the officers?" She asked. Mason, officer in charge, was talking to a couple other officers about the crime scene. When he asked if she was alright Nikki was taken a little aback. "I'm alright, and yeah.. I am a little exhausted, but hey, I knew what I was getting into when I went to school for this. Lack of sleep, piles of dead bodies, more than likely some of them homicide. No big deal, at least I enjoy it." She said and stopped herself. "Which probably sounded extremely weird. I promise, I'm not one of this examiner's who prefers to spend time with the dead." She joked, smiling halfheartedly. 

She removed the gloves and threw them away in a nearby bin. "I really should get the body back, do a little work on her, and head home. It was nice to meet you, Brandon. Come by tomorrow sometime and I'll show you my notes and what I've got on our victim, first thing will be identifying her. Poor girl." Nikki said sympathetically, frowning. She said another quick good-bye to Brandon and a few of the officer's before getting into the morgue van and headed back to get the body out. She wouldn't do much tonight, she'd collect some hair follicles, get her prints for back-up, and send it, along with the other evidence items she had, to the lab in the morning and start on identifying the poor girl.

Nikki was hoping they'd have some lead in these gruesome murders.[/center]
