Summary: Mac, Aiden and Flack investigate when Elaine Curtis is found dead at
a dog competition, a knitting needle sticking out of her chest, and no
shortage of suspects ranging from judges to trainers to contestants.
Stella and Danny investigate the death of bicycle messenger Michael
Starling, but the crime scene may have been anywhere along his route.
A bike messenger is on his route in NYC. We see him swerving in and out with cars and he
deftly avoids them but at the last minute he crashes into a newsstand. Danny and Stella are
on the scene with Detective Thacker. The reason the vic, Michael Starling, just collapsed was
because he was stabbed. They discover he was training, since they found a monitor that kept
a rate up. Danny saw his delivery list which narrowed down the route he was stabbed. Danny
is at the Bike messenger headquarters. He asks the dispatcher, Frank Meadows, who is more
interested in the packages than the dead messenger. Flack, Aiden and Mac are at a Dog Show,
there is a Dog Handler, Elaine Curtis, stabbed with a knitting needle. There were no witnesses,
and Flack informs Mac that the show vet was the one who found the body. Oddly when he saw
her there he didn’t touch her or try to revive her, saying it was clear she was dead. We are
introduced to Angie soon, a dog owner, who is a little eccentric about her dog’s needs. Mac finds
a set of keys on the vic. He goes to her grooming station, opens her case with the key. Aiden
comes over with a bag, and finds the other knitting needle. Another woman, Millie Hanford,
comes up claiming it’s hers. She asks for it back, and he says he needs to keep both the bag
and the needle. She asks where the other is then sees the vic impaled on the knitting needle.
Hawkes is with Stella. There are multiple fractures. The stab was used with a lot of force- and
part of the murder weapon was left inside- half a pair of scissors from a pocket knife, he puts it
an envelope and hands it to her. Millie Hanford is being interviewed by Mac, though she is doing
most of the talking without him questioning. Apparently the vic, Elaine, was not well liked- partly
for her dress. There was also an incident with a judge who had to be removed for his infatuation
with Elaine. She claims animal people wouldn’t hurt a soul. She hands the dog over to Mac, who
can’t really control him, and Aiden calls him over, there were paw prints leading away, which
could not have been the handler’s dog, since that was still on her leash in the vic’s hand and
had to be removed by animal control. They follow the footprints. Stella and Danny are in the lab,
there is blood on the left peddle (which is the leg the vic was stabbed from). There is a second
bleeder. There is a red mist on the clothes and gray chucky compound on the bike and clothes.
