In the bullpen, after Hank took Davis to his cell, he sees his team working hard. Some answering calls and others going through their databases.

"Alright," Hank says and clenches his jaw, "I want a full work-up on this guy. Search his apartment. Let's tie him to that brown ForeRange jacket."

Erin got off the phone, "That was patrol. Tamra Collins just work up in the ICU at Med. And she wants to talk." She says.

Hank nods, "Alright," He glanced at Riley, "Riley go with Erin."

Riley nods and stands up.

The two women grab their jackets and holster their guns as they leave the bullpen.

Arriving at Med and at Tamra's room, Erin knocked on the door to alert her and her parents. Both Erin and Riley showed off their badges to the parents.

"My name is Erin Lindsey and this is Riley Schmidt," Erin says and turns to Tamra, "You had something you wanted to tell us."

Tamra nods, "Yes." She glanced at her mom, "Mom can you and dad step out please?"

"Tamra, dear?" Her father protested.

Riley stepped in, "Sir, please respect your daughter's wishes." She says.

Mr Collins looks at the detective and then to his daughter. Sighing the gentlemen walked out with his wife.

Then Erin sat down in the chair that Tamra's mom was sitting in, whereas Riley stood behind. Tamra looked at the two, but focusing on Erin.

"I was there at the rave," Tamra says, "And this guy stood- stood next to me. He was wearing a dark jacket and a- and a hat."

Erin caught glimpse of Riley taking notes of what Tamra was saying and neither detectives interrupted Tamra.

"And he was holding a paper bag." Tamra added, "He walked over to the side and he- he dropped the paper bag on the floor. And then stepped on it. He kicked it behind the couch. He- he started to walk away and then the bag burst into flames."

Erin frowns, "Do you remember anything else about him?" She asks.

Tamra thinks about it, "Uh- he was a little bit taller than me. So, 5'8, maybe. And a white guy. In his twentys." Tamra says, "He had a- a silver skull ring on his right hand. I- I noticed it when he wiped his eyebrow."

Erin gives Tamra a supportive smile, "That's really good."

Riley nods at Tamra with a supportive smile.

"Is there anything else?" Erin asks.

Tamra nods, "Yeah, he- he had blue eyes." She says.

Erin glanced at Riley. Kade didn't have blue eyes. The two detectives looked at each other, before turning their attention back at Tamra.

"Blue? Are you sure?" Erin asks.

Tamra nods as she chokes back a sob, "When he looked at me, it was like he was looking right through me." She says.

Erin reached out to Tamra with a smile, "Thank you, Tamra. You really helped us out." She says.

When Erin and Riley returned to the district and waiting in the lobby was Will. Erin and Riley halted for a second.

"Will," Riley says.

Will looks at her, "Hey," His eyes turn to Erin, "Hi, Erin."

Erin gives Will a small smile, "Hi, Will." She glanced at Riley, "I'll let Hank know what we got from Tamra."
