Ohhh this is a great chapter. I love all the discussion going on especially near the end and in the morgue. There's a lot of great science behind autopsies and yet some evidence gathered is so simple to get. Amazing a shell retrieved from a brain cavity can still bear a fingerprint!

Thanks for reading and following this story. The shell casing was one found on the scene in the previous chapter. Only the two bullet slugs came from the brain. Regards, Bill

Ohhhh, I gotcha. Thanks Bill. My pleasure to read.

Good writing. Enjoyed this story since you started it and the evidence of the shell casing. Alot like CSI and Burn Notice. Nothing to comment with regards to spags. I just wish the story could go a little faster.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Oh yes, the dreaded print. I can't wait. I think Dax need to join the Task Force.
With a malevolent glare, Enrique responded, "because you dumb shit, I loaded those rounds myself. My finger print could be on that cartridge." (If you want to use Because, it needs to be capitalized. I would just start it with You.)
Leaping up so fast that he knocked the chair down, Jorge closed the distance between himself and Enrique. During that movement, his hand came forward with the distinct clicking sound of a flick knife. Stopping the knife just millimeters from Enrique's right eye, he bellowed, "Go ahead, killer man, call me a dumb shit again." (In this paragraph you started all three sentences with an 'ing' word. That takes away from the strength of the sentence. How about the first sentence being, Jorge leapedup so fast he knocked the chair down and closed the distance between himself and Enrique.)
It bothers me that it was left behind. (remove the that)
Beth took the copies and asked, "Would you please take the original over to the Sheriff's office. If Jimmy is there, please hand them to him. (Two paragraphs down you used asked, so drop this one, Beth took the copies. is perfect.)
what have I gotten myself in to? (capital 'w' on what)

["]Cindy, I don't think you heard (opening quotation marks left off here) Paul Budreaux [,] comma not needed here
Those two guys in the first part of this are some tuff, mean dudes. This drug cartel in Mexico is a bad thing. I have been hearing a lot about it on the news. You're doing a good job describing them like I am sure they are.

You're very welcome! By the way, as i was reading your work, taking note of the writing-style with its drama and touch of darkness, it occurred to me that you might in turn enjoy my latest short story: A BRIEF GLIMPSE BEHIND THE VEIL. If you happen to find both the time and the inclination, i would love to see what you think of it!

Great job. No typos, read smoothly. You showed us why Jorge did find the bullet casing. I enjoyed reading the chapter and look forward to reading more.

Comment from Paula Andrea Pyle
Great convincing dialogue.When a mystery is involved, the reader immediately is drawn into the scene so as to identify with the character of either good or bad intent. I found this writing to draw me in quite effectively.
