According to CSI Files sources, Stella and Danny investigate the shooting death of Kym Tanaka. Tanaka, a competitive paintball player at the top of his game and founding member of paintball team V-Force, was found dead in a warehouse.

After questioning V-Force team member, Evan Kelneck, Stella and Danny learn that Cyrus Menlo, the leader of a rival paintball team, failed to show up for a game earlier that day. Tanaka and Menlo were major competitors and sometimes took their rival attitudes off the field. In fact, they had an altercation just the night before.

Detective Flack questions tenants of an apartment building near the warehouse where Tanaka was found to see if they heard anything unusual the night before. In true New York style, nothing is “unusual” and no one pays attention to what goes on outside their windows at night. Flack even encounters a woman claiming to have been abducted by aliens.

Mac pays a visit to Detective Flack at the precinct to inquire about a drug bust Flack had been involved in a while back. Several Glocks and a lot of cocaine were confiscated in the bust. Traces of cocaine with the same chemical attributes were found at the warehouse. Mac is puzzled as to how that could be -- if all the drugs were confiscated and burned, something doesn’t add up. Flack becomes defensive, thinking Mac is there to interrogate him.

Evidence suggests that a body had been dragged through the alley near the warehouse in a cardboard box. A print leads the team to suspect Trina Roubian, a woman who has been missing for seven years.

A young man in a hooded jacket, who has been following Stella, turns up outside the NYPD. Stella and Mac exit the building at the end of their shift and see him. He runs. A chase ensues. Mac catches the young man, Reed Garrett, and demands to know why he was following Stella. Garrett was confused as to Stella’s identity, having mistaken her for Mac’s ex-wife, Claire. Garrett reveals his reason for wanting to find Claire. Mac is able to provide some answers, but ultimately cannot help Garrett with what he’s really looking for.
