Danny is only acting as backup when it comes to this exercise. He's grateful to Chris for doing the requested damage, but there's still a part of him that cringes when he sees the way they've trashed the huts. He sighs and closes the door behind him, signalling to Nick and Kate that this is the one that's set-up the best for their exercise. He's the detective and if he's learned anything from his years on the job, it's that he ought to shut up when the lab shows up because he doesn't know half of what they do.

"Today," he advises to Kate as catches up to them, walking the last little distance, "Nick's your guy. You have a question, you ask him. If it's about the procedure of what happens after, that's me, but what I want you to do is take everything you've read and all that we talked about and go into this scene with an open mind. I want you to pick out the important pieces that might lead you to a suspect or give you a lead. Sound good?"

And maybe he can politely request that someone who owes community service hours can help tidy up the clusterfuck that's become of the huts.

Of all the exercises they've done, this is the one Kate's most nervous about. It seems more difficult than everything else they've done, especially since both Danny and Nick are pretty much professionals and she's just a girl from Kansas with only part of an idea what she's even doing here. This is getting more and more real with each passing day and she's still at a loss some of the time.

But she's always been good at faking it.

"Okay, first question," she says. "If we come across a scene like this, is calling the lab guys the first thing? Like, we don't touch anything, do we?"
