Author: Kali/Jess

Summary: N/S fic. The CSI officers have been assigned to a triple homicide and possible kidnapping case. But when Sara finds out who it is that was involved she shuts down. Could she have had something to do with the murders or the missing child...?

Sara and Nick were sitting in Grissom's office waiting to be briefed on their next case. Their colleagues Warrick and Catherine were already out on their case with the double homicide.

"So what have you got for us today?" Sara asked as Grissom walked into the room.

"Well we've got a very big case for you two today. You're going to be joining me out at Bill Carter's place. There's been a multiple shooting and possible abduction. Bill and his new girlfriend Celeste were found murdered and his 15 yr old daughter has gone missing. Rhiannon Carter. 15 yrs old, born 17th may 1988. There were traces of blood found downstairs in the living room as well as in her bedroom."

"Rhiannon Carter?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, She was the one being beaten and raped by her stepfather, right before her mother shot him." Nick replied.

"Oh." Sara replied. Then she went silent.

"Well the sooner we find out what's happened the sooner we can get to work at finding Rhiannon." Gill said. "Let's get out there." He added.

"Man this guy must have been loaded." Sara gasped as she and Nick stepped under the yellow police tape and followed the front path along.

"Yeah he was. He owned his own computer company. Ten different stores in Las Vegas alone." Gill explained.

"Gees. Lucky guy. I wish I had that sort of money." Sarah gasped again when she saw the inside of the house.

"It's not that much of a big deal Sar. I used to live in places bigger than this." Nick told her.

"Yeah well unlike you I never had the luxury of rich parents." Sarah snapped and she walked off. When she got to the stairs she stopped. She had spotted the library. There were bookshelves tipped over and books thrown across the room. Sara stood there shocked when she saw the body of the maid lying on the floor.

"Sara!" She was quickly brought back to the present when Nick called her name. "Sara, are you alright?" Nick asked.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Because I can tell Grissom..."

"Nick I'm fine just leave it." Sara snapped.

"Sorry." Nick replied. "Let's go check out upstairs." Sara followed Nick upstairs.

"So what have we got?" Sara asked and she went white when she saw the DB.

"Sara what's wrong?" Nick asked. "You've been acting really strange lately."

"No...I...it's nothing. I'm fine." Sara managed to say.

"Are you sure?" Nick asked. He was concerned for Sara's health.

"I'm fine, Leave me alone." Sara snapped and she turned her attention back to the case.

"Sara if you don't want to be here then..."

"I'm fine. Just let me do my work." Sara placed her kit on the ground, got out her gloves and put them on. She then began dusting for prints. Nick began examining the body, making sure to keep his eye on Sara. Moments later Grissom walked in.

"So have you found anything?" He asked.

"Well it seems as though she was bashed in the head with some kind of heavy object whilst she was sleeping. There's a mark just below the injury. It looks like a trophy or something." Nick stated. "It's hard to tell with all the blood."

"Would you by any chance mean the trophy that's missing from the display out in the hall?" Gill and Nick turned to Sara. "I was just admiring the display when I noticed it on the way in." Sara pointed to a display cabinet out in the hall. There was a space in the middle of the second shelf.

"Nice spotting. If you've finished in the room let the coroners know so they can take the body back to the lab. Meanwhile I'll have a search for the assault weapon." Gill walked into the next room across.

A while later they were all back at the lab with all the evidence they had found. Gill had found the trophy with Celeste's blood in Rhiannon's room under her bed and that was being checked for prints and having the blood analysed. Sara had found some foreign prints on the door handle of Celeste's room and they were being checked against the database. And Nick managed to find a small hair on the floor in the bathroom where they found Bill's body. Sara, Nick and Gill were in the lab. There were pictures of the DB's and Rhiannon placed on a board. Gill had drawn a diagram as to where he thought the Killer/kidnapper had been.

"Well it looks as though he got to the maid first." Gill finished off.

"But why did he kill her?" Nick asked.

"Well she looked almost identical to Rhiannon from behind. Same age, same build, same hair." Gill replied. "Maybe he thought the maid was Rhiannon. There's nothing saying that she was even at home when this happened."

"What do you think Sara?" Sara was staring into space with a teary look in her eyes. "Sara!" Nick said again shaking her lightly.

"Sorry. I must have zoned out. What were you saying?"

"Well I was just saying it was a possibility that maybe Rhiannon wasn't even home last night. There's no evidence to prove otherwise." Nick suggested.

"That might be true. Did you find a list of her friends numbers?" Gill asked. "Yeah. She's got like 50 numbers in here. But only three of them have been circled." Nick replied.

"Well read them out." Gill cried.

"Ok. First we have Braden Opie. But his address is for California. Then we have Helena Harris. She's over in Miami. We can get the guys over there to check that out for us." Nick suggested. Gill nodded.

"I'll give Horatio a call later on." He replied.

"Then the last one is...oh right here in Vegas. Apartment number 17... Justice Apartment Palace... But that's..."

"Sara's Place." Gill cried. They turned around to look at Sara and she had disappeared.

"Where'd she go?" Nick asked.

"I don't know. But something tells me this has something to do with her." Gill replied.

"Why would Sara have anything to do with the disappearance of a 15 yr old girl?" Nick asked.

"I don't know Nick...I don't know." Gill replied.
