""Hold up, they are all dates the 8th of the month every three months..this means there may be another death tomorrow." Lucy says and they all pale and look at eachother.

"Rosalind is our only lead." Nyla comments and Lucy and nyla make eye contact.
"Let's speak to her then." Lucy says and nyla looks at the forensic doctor.
"call us if you find much more" she says and they leave.

They arrive at woman's high security prison near Arizona  and get brought to death row, they get searched and all their weapons taken off them and they get taken to Rosalind's cell.

"Well well well detective Chen-Parker what a pleasure to see you again" the red head smiles creepily at Lucy.
"I couldn't say the same." Lucy sighs.
"It's such a shame your husband died, I bet your son misses his daddy so much" Rosalind replied not breaking eye contact with Lucy, Lucy's breath shuddered, she sensed nylas eyes on her..

"Rosalind quit with the mind games. I don't know what you're talking about" Lucy says trying to change the subject.
"Ohhh she didn't know?" Rosalind chuckles gesturing to Nyla  and Lucy looks down ashamed.

"shut your trap, we aren't here for your mind games or story telling Rosalind, we need you for a case" nyla snaps.
"I've been in death row since that bitch used her skills and got me locked up? How am I part of a case?" Rosalind says calmly smiling.

"just listen. three people have been killed. Found a few days ago" Nyla says.
"How did they die?" She smirks.
"Autopsy shows that they all suffocated to death." Lucy sighs.
"ahh, just like all my victims. Is that why you think it was linked to me?" Rosalind chuckles.
"was it  you?"Lucy asks glaring at her.

"Not me physically. I've been in here since you played a part getting me in here. But my little friend may have done a thing or two" Rosalind smirks.
"who killed them?" Nyla asks.
"Hmmm so Lucy, I see little Oscar is settling into mid Wilshire well. I can't believe you moved from Arizona to LA" Rosalind smiles ignoring Nyla.
"You keep my son's name out your mouth!" Lucy snaps stepping forward pointing her finger at Rosalind.

"Chen outside!" Nyla says pulling Lucy's arm back and pushing her to the door.
"It's been nice to see you again Lucy."  Rosalind smiles and waves.

Nyla watches Lucy walk out and nyla glances at Nyla
"Is this a waste of time or are you going to tell me who killed them?" Nyla asks then suddenly Nylas phone started calling, so she leaves the cell and stands outside.

"hey doc, anything?" She asks the forensic doctor.
"Detective harper , we did a swab under the nails of them all and found a microbe strain indigenous to animals in Africa and aisa" he replies.
"Does that mean the victims were flown internationally?" Nyla asks confused.

"Unlikely. For the microbe to remain present q they would have had to come in contact right before they died" the doctor replies.
"When they were killed. Is there any here in LA that could have been exposed?" Nyla responds.

"The old zoo that they shut down in the 60s maybe? It's abandoned and isolated..and there is a possibility that the microbes exist in the soil"The doctor responds.
"We will check it out thanks doc." Nyla says and hangs up.

"Come on Chen." Nyla snaps and rushes off, Lucy on her trail.

-
They were driving back from the prison, it had been a quiet silence for a while until Nyla broke it.
"She was just messing with you." She sighs
"You can't tell anyone." Lucy says staring at Nyla driving.
"Tell them what?" Nyla asks and Lucy sighs.
"That my husband died and I have a son" she sighs.
"look it's not my business to tell, but Chen you should have just told me. So I take it that family emergency you had to attend to the other day was your son, and Tim is aware of him?" She raises a brow.
