As seen on tv: Forensic Science, 1/17 5th Period

Abby welcomed the students into the danger room by handing out lab coats and directing them to the lab. "Last week was excellent, I'm totally impressed by your work! Because you guys turned out to know more than I thought, I'm bumping up the lessons plans. Today we're going to be focusing on two techniques."

"We're going to be looking for leftovers today. Leftover blood and leftover residue from a gun." Abby gave a quick lecture on the history, chemical basics and uses of Luminol. She didn't really care if you were taking notes or not. "What you need to remember for today's class is 'wetter is better'. Don't skimp on spraying the solution. You don't want to let the bad guy get off because you were nervous about getting the drapes soggy. Once you've sprayed the solution, use the portable blacklights to determine whether or not there's a glow."

"Next we're going to test for gunshot residue." Abby grinned and held up a plastic arm off a mannequin. "This is Creepy Pete, the criminal. He's going to help you learn today, aren't you, Pete?" The hand didn't respond. Running through a history of the chemicals used and the methods employed to test for gunshot residue, Abby finished up by grabbing a tube and brush. "It's easy as pie. You brush on the activator and then hold the hand under a special light. Ta-da! Creepy Pete has been up to no good."

Abby rubbed her hands together excitedly and pointed towards the crime scene door. "Now for the fun part! Today's crime scene is a mystery that you need to solve. The police found young Sam, the victim of an apparent suicide. But there are some concerns." Abby led the way to the doorway so that the students could see the crime scene, a small bedroom with light blue walls, a desk and chair, carpeted floors. Then there was the bed where Sam Winchester lay, seemingly dead, one hand lying on his chest and the sheet beneath his head slick with dried blood.

"Now," Abby had allowed a few moments for the crime scene to sink before speaking. "The first officers on the scene found a gun in Sam's hand, just lying across his chest. Such a perfect placement like that after shooting yourself in the head seemed a little iffy and add the fact that there's no blood spatter on the bed and you've got a possibility that this case isn't as open and shut as it looks. Check out the room with the the luminol and then check out Sam for gunshot residue. Pick up your handouts and your tools from the lab and then get to work. Use the evidence to figure out what happened and then catch the bad guy."

She smiled at that, then nodded. "It will be," she said fiddling with her spray bottle. "It's just been a sucky couple of days."

"It is fake, right?" she said eyeing the furniture suspiciously anyway. "Because I thought luminol reacted with the haemoglobin, kinda a 'real blood' thing."

"Yeah. Real would be a little..." she trailed off and made a face. She had the far too recent memory of Cally with the real stuff all over her to remind her of that.

Mac sat like she was told to. "I'm fine, really," she said. "Just spent a little too much time in the clinic the last day or so. They should really make it more cheerful in there."

"Someone attacked Cally," Mac said after a second. "She's going to be okay, but she was unconscious all yesterday, and it just has me a little out of sorts."

Mac shook her head. "No one seems to have any idea. Great time for the squirrels to just not be around, huh?"

"I don't think so, but I haven't seen her yet today," Mac said with a little shrug. "We're hoping she'll be able to help us figure it out when she does. After what they did to her... we need to get them."

Mac nodded quickly. "I will," she said. "Thanks Professor Abby."
