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."

"Phones. Take pictures....and this couldn't have less to do with the dead guy on the bed. Sorry Sam."

"Yes they can." she snapped a photo of Billy "And yeah, sorry Sam."

"So, where do you think we might find some more blood? Getting Sam from, somewhere around here, to the bed couldnt' have been easy. And probably messy."

check the sink for blood? Turn to page 60
check the rest of the carpet? turn to page 12

"Well, there was some on the carpet. It probably washed away in the sink? In the tv shows there are always bloody footprints..."

"Good idea." Billy said. "Maybe dust for regular prints too." Billy headed in there to spray and light.

"Wonder if the neighbors heard anything?"

"Not sure we can ask, in the context of the class..."

"Good point." Billy sprayed the sink, and the faucet handles.

Ami showed him the glove. "Also, gotta look for gunshot residue on this, but i bet there isn't any."

"You're probably right. So, we've got blood on the carpet, body laid out to look like a suicide, blood on the pillow...oooh, okay, gross thought, but, if he got shot, not here...we should spray the walls at about head level. That wasn't the gross thought, but there might be some uh, bits, of stuff lying around."

"Eeeeew" Ami scrunched her face up. "It is less gross if you use clinical terms. So, e are looking for brain tissue possibly projected onto the wall? About here?" she pointed to a wall area about head height on Sam.

"Yeah. The area where the blood is, I'm guessing is where he fell. But unless he was on the floor when he was shot...and new idea, there should be a bullet hole somewhere. Or, even a bullet." This was kinda fun.

"Well, there is a hole in his head... And with the knee mark, he could have been knocked down and then shot. And since the rug was cleaned up, the bullet would have been cleaned up as well?"

"There should still be marks where it hit. It didn't stay in his head." Yes Billy might be sounding a bit blase about this. You can clean up blood, and hide a bullet, but there should definately be some sign of damage to the room where-ever the bullet landed."

"do i want to know why you know this?" Ami, not so blase.

"Uhm. Military background."

ooc: to bed, then I guess lab tomorrow?

"right. I think i just do nto connect having a military family and shootings very much..."

[nod. i am around 7am to 4pm eastern tomorrow then at the airport 5:30-7:30 and then not at all until whenever i find internet Friday... if at all]

"Dad and friends talked a lot." he said evasively.

"Riight. I know nothing about shooting people i am afraid."

"I find I have no problem with that." billy said, smiling slightly. Back to the task at hand. He went back to work.

ooc: Hey Prof, blood in the sink and any signs of where the bullet went?

Ami smiled at his reply. And looked to see if they found anythign in the sink.
