a royal crime (Haylen, anyone)

Meanwhile I was heading through the back, listening for any sounds that would lead us to Catherine.

Thomas was doing the same, at the same time, Catherine screamed a bit, one of the guys slapped her hard, Thomas heard it, then motioned to the SWAT guys with him in that direction, Thomas hoped Haylen heard it as well

I did hear it and carefully made my way over, meeting Thomas and his team in front of the room.

Thomas looked at Haylen as the SWAT guys got in front of him, the commander looked at Thomas, who nodded, the commander then gave the signal to enter

I stepped back and let them do their job, hoping that finally those were the last ones left and the royal couple would be safe.

the team entered and apprehended the suspects with out a shot being fired, at the same time, Thomas freed Catherine and got her out of their

Once they were out I got my kit and started processing.

Thomas staid with Catherine as she was checked out by the EMT

I silently did my job, being as thorough as possible.

after a while, Thomas rejoined Haylen

I looked up at him with a small smile as he came back.
"Almost done." I said quietly.

Thomas nodded, "Find anything?" he asked

"A few prints on the chair and a few drops of blood next to it. Looks like the duchess caused someone a nose bleed or something." I replied.

Thomas nodded, "She did have defensive bruising on her left hand." he replied, "Its fair to say she did not go with them quietly."

"Well, I wouldn't have been going quietly either." I replied, while finishing up.

"No, you would not have." Thomas replied

I smiled a little.

"I'll see you outside" Thomas said to her, he then turned and walked out

I nodded and finished up. A while later I met him back outside.

Thomas was checking in on Catherine again, he was going to take her to see William

"I'll go back to the lab with one of the SWAT guys." I said to him, so he could take her with the SUV we came in.

Thomas nodded, "Okay, I'll see you there" he replied, "Thank you" Catherine said to her

"You're welcome." I replied, giving her a smile.

Cathrine smiled a bit as Thomas got her into the SUV, then drove her to the hospital

I got back to the lab and started processing the evidence, after I finally changed again. I didn't want to wear those clothes any longer, though I actually liked them, but held something that I didn't want to be reminded of now.
