Forensic Science 2/7, 5th period

Abby was on the phone when the students entered the danger shop; arguing with someone about a Caf-Pow! delivery. "You're already one day late. I can't be held responsible for my actions if you don't get it here today. No, that's not a threat against you. I'm a high school teacher, it's not like I'm going to come after you or anything. It's just that I've accidentally killed the wrong person already because I didn't drink enough Caf-Pow!, I don't want that to happen agai-hello? Hello?"

Abby shook her head and slammed down the phone. "Stupid delivery men." Pointing to the stools in the lab, she stalked over to the whiteboard to start the lecture. "I'm not in the best of moods today so lets try getting through the lecture quickly so you can go do your crime scene work. Today we're talking about trace evidence. It's the itty bitty things that are found at crime scenes that you'll be responsible for collecting, cataloging and identifying. Trace evidence includes hairs, fibers, soils, botanical materials, residue from gunshot or explosives." Abby gave a handwavy lecture on using microscopes and lab equipment to test evidence. "Basically, you're going to be collecting everything and bringing it back to the lab. Most of it will be crap, but some will help you solve the crime and identify the killers."

Walking to the door of the lab, Abby walked through, motioning the students to stand with her around an outdoor pool. The water was drained from the majority of the pool, leaving a few dirty feet of water in the deep end and two bodies in the shallow end. "There was a party here last night, lots of drinking and dancing and two deaths. Some say the men just had too much drink, some say they committed suicide. It's your job to gather as much trace evidence as you can and use it to discover what happened."

Pointing to a stack of rubber waders, Abby stood back to let the students put them on and climb down into the pool. "This is Aziraphale and not-Wilson." Abby glared a little at Neil and shook her head. "Apparently when I've not had enough caffeine, people are a little fuzzy to me. In my defense, he looks very similar. Whatever. Neil deserves to have his murder avenged as well. Remember to get the trace evidence from the water in the pool and the bodies. Go for it."

Neil remained perfectly still for just a hair beyond a beat, then he sat up with a wry chuckle.

"Hi, my name is Neil." He offered sort of to deflect the Wilson thing.

"Time of death, 10:07, cause of death was drowning. Toxicology report would reveal less than one beer consumed, no other findings in my blood. I have bruises on my shoulders and chest as well as defensive injuries on my hands."

Reaching to one of his handouts, he held it up to John.

"This contains the trace you would find."

The bag contains, black thread from under fingernail, ripped black fabric that was caught on jacket, smear of BBQ sauce from shoulder.

"You know...I don't even know what teams are still around in 2007." Neil said a bit pensively, making a mental note to rectify that situation.

"So... either you're a lightweight, or your party ended before it properly got started. Any other info?" John takes the Trace bag and gives it the hairy eyeball.

"Well, teams are teams. After the Great Lockout of 93 and the strike of 97, things started to go downhill. My faves are the Wisconsin Razerbacks, the New Jersey Bleeergh, and, of course, SoCal Tigers." John's face was straight as an arrow. Totally.
