Match 19064 Mac Taylor vs. The Scorpio Killer

[StormChaser]

Charles Davis saw the city of San Francisco went downhill day in and day out. At first, he thought about doing something to change things but he found a new opportunity on the other side of the country. Charles decides to take the opportunity and move to New York City.

 

Charles spent months trying to get used to his new life, but things were just as bad. He hated his commute to job and hated the people that he saw in the streets. Charles decided instead of trying to move somewhere else, he was going to force the city to change.

 

He started planning out how he was going to turn things around. Charles watched a documentary on the Zodiak Killer and thought that he could do something similar. He found the name Scorpio and started looking for victims. 

 

One day, Scorpio got on a roof of an abandoned building and shot an innocent victim. He then wrote a letter and left it close to the crime scene. Scorpio's letter demand that he be paid $1,000,000 or else he would kill a new target.

 

CSI New York responded to the crime scene. Mac Taylor arrived on the scene and walked past the crime scene tape. Stella Bonasera was taking crime scene photos. Lindsay Monroe was collecting evidence. Don Flack was talking to nearby pedestrians.

 

Scorpio was watching from a distance and studying his potential adversaries. Mac Taylor looked over the victim and saw a signal gunshot wound to the head. Judging from the wound, he knew that it was from a high caliber rifle that was taken from a distance.

 

Mac said "Looks like it must have been a targeted attack."

 

Don said "Why do you say that?"

 

Mac said "Bullet wound is from a rifle and judging by the wound, it would have to be from quite a distance. The perp would have to be really good."

 

Mac looked at the surrounding buildings. He saw a couple that he thought might have been where the shot was fired from. Stella walked up to Mac and handed him a letter.

 

Stella said "Lindsay found this close by."

 

Mac read the letter and got angry. He looked at Stella and Don. Mac then looked at all the crowds of people that stood on the other side of the police tape.

 

Mac said "We may have a serial killer on our hands."

 

Stella said "The killer wants this sent to the mayor's office. You think we should send it?"

 

Mac said "Not yet. We don't want to get a panic on our hands. Let's see what we can find out first. I will go to that building over there and search for clues."

 

Stella and the rest of the CSI team bagged up the evidence. The body was taken in by the coroner and the scene was cleaned up. Mac headed over to the building that Scorpio had taken the shot. 

 

Mac searched for hours but could not find any trace of the killer. He then found a window that he felt might have been where the shot was fired from. Mac looked over the window and then looked at where the victim was discovered. 

 

Scorpio was outraged that nothing was being done about his demands. He felt the NYPD was not taking him seriously and knew that he would have to follow through with his threat. Scorpio was about to search for his next victim.

 

He then thought about Detective Mac Taylor. Scorpio felt that if he took out Taylor then maybe that would prove to the NYPD and to the Mayor's office that he was a credible threat. Scorpio set his sights on Detective Taylor. 

 

Mac thought about the letter that was written and the crime scene. He felt that the killer was probably around earlier that morning when his team was investigating the crime scene. He also knew that the killer was probably going to try and find a new target.

 

Mac had suspicions that he was going to be targeted as the killer would want to pose a valid threat to the city. Taylor got his pistol ready and started searching for the Scorpio Killer. He knew that he would have to keep cover or else he would end up another one of his victims. Taylor called for backup and then stated searching for the Scorpio.

Ah, a break from your arc? Nice change of pace, StormChaser.  

Believe it or not, I haven't watched the first Dirty Harry film through, either. 😳Still, if cowboy cop Harry Callahan can take this Scorpio Killer down, I think a more methodical Mac can do the same, especially if his team assists. With his marine and cop training, Mac can also hold his in combat if need be.

Scorpio Killer is formidable enough to warrant a multi arc episode in CSI: NY, but in the season finale he is defeated and apprehended by Mac and his team.

[Pizzaguy2995]

Mac might be able to catch Scorpio but the question is will the charges stick? I watched Dirty Harry a long while ago and I can say in no uncertain terms that Scorpio is just too good at covering his tracks: manipulating the media into turning against the police, hiding evidence or making them inadmissible in court, actually killing off his hostages/victims instead of doing the cliche movie villain thing of leaving them alive for no reason other then for the hero to rescue them. I just don’t think there’s a way to bring him in the right way, so unless Mac is willing to just shoot him dead like Dirty Harry did I don’t see how he’ll stop Scorpio for good.
