Shards of Glass
Chapter 3
It was 7:30AM when Calleigh Duquesne parked her car in the MDPD garage. Paper coffee cup in hand, she headed toward the building when something caught her eye. There were pieces of glass on the ground, glinting in the fluorescent lights. As she shifted her gaze up, Calleigh noticed a broken rear passenger window on a silver SUV. She frowned, taking a few steps closer to the vehicle. There didn’t seem to be any other damage aside from the shattered window. Sighing, Calleigh turned and walked into the crime lab.
She stowed her purse inside her locker and then went straight to the DNA lab. “Valera, have you seen Rebekah this morning?”
Valera shook her head, “Sorry, Calleigh. I don’t think she’s in yet. Is there something I can help you with?”
“Oh, no. Thank you.” Calleigh gave Valera a smile. “It’s not anything work-related. That is rather odd though, because her car is in the parking lot.”
“Maybe she’s getting some coffee.” Valera shrugged.
“Maybe. Thanks.” Calleigh walked out of the lab and caught sight of Ryan Wolfe talking to Delko in the hallway. “Hey, have either of you seen Rebekah Mayers today?”
“No, sorry.” Wolfe replied.
“Me either.” Delko added.
“Okay, thanks anyway.” Calleigh sighed, and walked to the break room. She glanced around at the people inside, re-filling their coffee and grabbing a quick breakfast. There were no signs of Rebekah.
After checking in the ladies room, Calleigh flipped open her cell phone and dialed Rebekah’s number. It went straight to voicemail. Calleigh hung up and called Horatio instead.
He picked up on the second ring. “Horatio.” His voice rumbled into her ear.
“You haven’t seen Rebekah Mayers, have you?” She asked.
“I haven’t. Is there something wrong, Calleigh?” He knew her well enough to tell by the tone of her voice that she was concerned about something.
“I’m not sure….” She replied. She saw Horatio round the corner of the hallway and snapped her cell phone shut. She waited for him to meet up with her before speaking again. “One of the windows on her SUV was smashed and I wanted to let her know about it, but I haven’t been able to find her anywhere. I tried calling her cell, but it goes to voicemail.”
“Okay.” Horatio replied calmly, “Valera hasn’t seen her?” He asked knowing that she was helping to supervise Rebekah’s training.
“No. I’ve asked around but no one seems to know where she is.”
Horatio cocked his head to the side, “I think, Calleigh, that I might have an idea of where she might be. Hang tight, okay?” He turned and walked down the hallway.
Rather than stand in the middle of the hall waiting around, Calleigh sighed and went to the ballistics lab.
