The scene opens late at night. A truck driver is rolling into a desolate parking station, he is looking at both sides of the street for something, and almost runs over a man without knowing he is in close proximity under the bonnet view. However, he manages to break. Soon after that, when he is reverse wheeling the truck, he finds a dead body on his rear view mirror. Shocked, he gets out to check. Later, when Megan, Pete and Samantha arrive at the scene, they ID him as Johnny Vasquez. Megan points out from the blood splashes on the nearby wall that Vasquez was surely not dumped there. They also find a white gold charm with the number 3 on it, and a New York phone number. Not before long, Megan points out this must have been an execution. When the body is taken to the morgue, Megan points out that the inflammation on his knuckles suggests he had a fight a couple of days ago. Ethan points out from the receding gums he must have been abusing drugs. Bud says they know he is a drug dealer. While the victim has a clear bullet hole at the back of his head, they also find a kind of white powder around the nape. She also picks up some hair from the area as well. Ethan points out that since the victim’s follicles seem less than active, those hairs surely belong to someone else. Meanwhile, Bud and Samantha arrive at a bar near the crime scene. A glassy eyed female, whom Bud presumes to be high on drugs, tells them Vasquez is the manager at the bar, and should be here any minute. The detectives announce he is dead, and the woman is shocked to hear that. Vasquez took care of her, and promised to get her a deal as a singer. Back at the morgue, Pete reports the victim broke his wrist roughly nine months back. It also turns out Vasquez had drugs in his body, but never abused any. Moreover, near the victim’s neck, they have traces of a mixture compound that is used to prevent stickiness in latex gloves. Megan comments it is turning out to be a puzzle. Pete suggests he will call the parole office 77
