" Gee what's with the emphasis on the last part. ... hey wait" Dean laughs as he quickly follows behind before Joe gets mad at them again.

" took you long enough " Joe said as he concludes his discussion with the coroners, " Hope you two haven't had lunch, cause this is going to be gory " Joe chuckled as he uncovered the corpse. Raya refuses to look but listens to what Jerry had to say instead
" Listen up , You're to examine the corpse , look for any clues or anything out of place and give me a report ." , " The only thing out of place is the bloody drawing of a flatline on her head.... ow! Raya" Dean replies but is punched in the arm , " For crying out loud Dean be SERIOUS!!" Raya scolds while glaring at Dean,
" I'd listen to her if I were you, I wouldn't want to get myself implicated" Joe replies as he walks away to meet up with Cole.
" You're not gonna look away forever Raya , besides she doesn't stink yet since it was just last night , and we might be the ones to dig out a picture of her for identification." Dean said as he put the equipment kit down and pulled on his gloves to make sure they were extra tight. He then turns the body over to get a full view of the face , which causes Raya to jump back. " What're you scared of?" Dean asks turning around in his crouched position,
to see Raya slowly crouching to his level and her hands that were firm a few seconds ago were shaky and her to be quickly getting wet. " A....Are you okay ?"Dean asked standing up.
" Ni...Ni..Nikki?"Raya stuttered as she was struggling with accepting the fact that the girl on the ground was the same one she had spoken to the previous day was the one lying dead on the ground . " N..N..Nicole ?, I..I'm s...s..seeing t..things r..right, it's not you" Raya stuttered, her voice breaking in almost every word. " Friend of yours?" Dean asked trying to pull her away from the corpse. But she wouldn't budge ,she was frozen to the ground,
' I think I'll cover the corpse before she completely zones out' Dean thought as he knew getting Raya away with the face still visible wasn't going to be possible. He quickly covered the corpse while half expecting Raya to stop him but she didn't even blink. He turned around to check on her but she had already walked away to the other side of the crime scene. " What's up with Raya? She looks pale" Joe asked walking up to Dean, " was I too hard on you guys making you jump right in?" Joe asked as he crouched to dean's level.
, " No, It's something else"
"what happened?"
" The girl that was found dead is a close friend of Raya's , they hung out a day ago"
" Gee, it must've been pretty hard on her"
" Yeah, She was basically frozen"
" hmph" a voice interrupted from behind " her first case and she's frozen cause she saw a body? that's really unprofessional if you ask me"
" what do you know about professionalism? you're a trainee just like us!" Dean raged
Raya seemed to have noticed the commotion because she started walking over
" Dean calm down.." Joe started
" who does he think he is to come down here and tell us what's professional? how could he be so Insensitive?" Dean continued ,
" Dude what's with the fuss ? you probably didn't know that you shouldn't get attached to a dead body especially if you don't know the deceased"
" Clark shut up! your making things worse" Joe yelled
" I knew her ,we both knew..."
" What's going on here ?" Raya and Cole asked at the same time , causing the trio to turn around , " It's your nephew" Joe replied clearly enraged,
" Clark what happened ?" Cole asked creasing his brows ' what has this brat done now ' Cole thought as he looked at Clark
