Asked and Answered: Episode Three The Case of the Acrimonious Alliteration Nearly six years have gone by since a quartet of psychopaths were brought to justice. The crime-free years in Portsmouth brought Chief Wesley Frey high praise from the press and the citizenry alike, but his retirement banquet is planned. Who will be the new chief? Will it be someone promoted from the ranks or will the mayor and the city council bring in an out-of-town candidate? In either case, most thought it was time to hire more officers with CSI training. Meanwhile, Portsmouth's crime-free years are about to end. An admirer of serial killers would like to join their ranks. He has a hatred for those who go through life taking advantage of others, disregarding what's fair. When he observes an assistant district attorney use the "asked and answered" ploy to win the acquittal of a known felon, he has his victim in mind and his serial killer's signature. He leaves behind the victim's business card to taunt and confuse the police as the investigator's whiteboard has a growing "asked and answered" victims list. He and the new chief, plus three new CSI investigators, find themselves in a battle of wits as the serial killer's body count rises. Of course, the Portsmouth PD's Tony Slone, Bethany "Skiv" Van Blair, and Keegan O'Regan also play a big role in solving the case.
