The morning sun broke into sky as the twins woke up and were having a bath with Danielle and Caitlin bathing them, and then got the two dressed before Danielle does them some breakfast. Caitlin came down and kissed her children, the blonde smiled before going to get dressed herself as her and Caitlin was going back to work today.

After Danielle got dressed, she returned downstairs and then they took the twins to school, the blonde stayed in the car as their boss had phoned her; "Hello boss, everything ok?"

"No it isn't, there has been a body discovered at the National Gallery Museum and the forensics team is there."

"Ok boss, would you like me and Caitlin to go there now?"

"Read my mind Danielle. Erm yes thank you, and let me know what you both think."

"Will do boss, bye." The two hung up just as Caitlin returned to the car, "There has been a body discovered at the National Gallery Museum, and we are needed." The blonde explained as Caitlin fastened herself in and they smiled at each other as Danielle turned the engine on and then drove them to the National Gallery Museum. After a thirty-five minute drive, the blonde pulled up and left her car as Caitlin followed, they showed their badges and they were let through. "Ok what we have got?" Asked Danielle as Louisa smiled happy to see her. "Good morning to you too Wolfe. We have a black American woman, possibly mid-late teens. Ripped clothes and brusing around the genital area indicates sexual assault, no defensive wounds which tell us that she could have been drugged when the attack and murder took place."

"Cause of death?" Asks Caitlin as she wrote down in her notepad. "Blunt force trauma to the left side of the head and stab wounds."

"I estimate that the body has been here less than twenty-four hours, she could have been frozen due to the flesh as decomposition has not happened. I'll know more when the tests come back but there isn't much insect activity due to the body being in a freezer."

"How long do you think that she has been in the freezer for?" Asks Danielle to him as he looks and sighs. "I don't know but if I had to guess, something that I don't normally do, but I would have to say five maybe ten years and was taken out of the freezer possibly thirty-six maybe forty-one hours ago." He explained further as Danielle and Caitlin look at each other.

"Ok take the body back to the lab and keep me informed ok?" Said the blonde as Louisa and her co-worker smiles, she and Caitlin returned to the car and went to the police station. Caitlin went into Danielle's office and closed the door, Danielle followed her to see if she was ok; "Hey what's wrong?"

Caitlin was in heartbreaking tears and she just wrapped her arms around the blonde and cried, she comforted her until Caitlin calms down and shows her the texts that she had got from Melanie. Danielle isn't happy and the texts remind her of how David reacted when she divorced him and he sent her hurtful messages but she never gave into him. After a while, they returned to their attention to the case in hand and Danielle formed her boss, he wasn't happy but something reminded him of an old cold case which was never solved.

The trio went down to the archives and he found the case; "There we go, Danielle. Gregoria Windsor, 18, went missing after a night out with her boyfriend and she was never seen again. Her boyfriend, James Swindonson, 19 at the time, was questioned and he did a lie detector test but passed with flying with colours. Gregoria's family believed that James did it because he was white and she was black."

"If he was madly in love with her then why would kill her? I mean you don't kill your girlfriend because of race, I understand that there is people out there who would do that but he sounds as though he was innocent." Caitlin said as they both agreed with her, Danielle got a phone call and Louisa confirmed that the teenager was definitely Gregoria Windsor, Danielle relayed this to her boss and he reopens the murder case.
