Isabelle wakes up to the sound of a loud ringing. Lifting her face off of the Grimm book in front of her before pulling out her phone — finding Nick's name and picture lighting up her screen. Putting it to her ear she answers the call after a few rings.
"Hello." Isabelle yawns, laying her head on the palm of her hand as she props her elbow up on the table.
"You sound sleepy." Nick comments.
"Nope. On the contrary. I'm awake as can be." Isabelle shakes her head. "Let me guess — we have a body."
"No. Two, actually." Nick corrects. "You want me to pick you up? We can grab some coffees on the way."
"I'm actually not at my apartment. I'm at the trailer." Isabelle admits.
"The trailer? What are you doing there?" Nick asks.
"Just needed some peace and quiet." Isabelle tells him.
"Izzy.." Nick starts.
"Spare me the worry — I'm fine. Just text me the address and I'll meet you there." Isabelle says before hanging up on him. Putting down her phone on the table she picks up a picture frame of her and her mother sitting on a picnic blanket from when she was in kindergarten. "I miss you more than I ever imagined I could. I love you, Mom."

"Morning, lady and fellas." Sergeant Franco greets as Isabelle, Nick, and Hank arrive at the crime scene. "This is, uh.. Ed and Lois Weller. Married twenty six years. Ed here is a lumber exec, recently took early retirement. Probably not what he planned, huh?"
"I don't being brutally murdered is anyone's ideal retirement plan." Isabelle retorts. "It's definitely not mine."
"We got lots of prints. Tech's even found one partial in blood." Sergeant Franco continues.
"Somebody was feeling ambitious." Hank comments.
"Sounds like a standard M.O. for every killer in the world." Isabelle says, but Hank just rolls his eyes.
"That's not like a knife wound." Nick states looking over the man's body. "It's more like he was ripped open."
"Too savage for a B and E. Something else was going on here." Hank shakes his head.
