Gil grissom walked into the dark, familiar room, sat down in a chair, and awaited his fate. How could I? I know the law.

He put his head in his hands and sighed. Catherine Willows came into the room and sat down in front of him, putting a file on the table.

"(Sighs) I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything. I brought this on myself."

"You've disgraced this squad and the entire unit with your antics!" she said angrily and bitterly.

"I know I don't know what came over me."

"Start at the beginning…"

Down the hall detective brass was interviewing a young woman named Ashley.

"What's your name?"

"Ashley."

"Ashley Campbell. Mind if I smoke?"

"No go right ahead. How do you know Gil Grissom?"

She drew in from her cigarette, and exhaled slowly. Clearly avoiding his question not wanting to answer.

"He's my lover. Why do you ask?"

"How old are you?"

"16."

"You're dating an older man. Doesn't that bother you?"

She twirled the cigarette in her fingers and chuckled slightly.

"No. I love him and he loves me."

"Really? How do you know he loves you?"

She drew in her cigarette again and flicked ashes on the floor.

"He's said it to me; he's bought me things. He's very sweet."

"What kind of things?"

"Flowers, candy, jewelry, ect."

"What kind of jewelry?"

"He bought me a diamond necklace from tiffany's. It's really pretty."

"I see. You know it's illegal to date an older man if your 16 right?"

"I don't care. There's now law to stop two people from being in love."

She flicked her cigarette on the floor and stomped it out.

"Let's talk about how you first met."

Grissom sighed and looked up at Catherine. He knew what he was about to say would condemn him, probably for life.

"Do you remember that case where we found Suzette conners in the parking lot at that grocery store?"

"Yeah."

"Well I was photographing bloody footprints when I saw her. She was a cashier on the sidelines and from the look on her face it looked like she knew something. So I went over to her and asked her…"

"I first met him when my friend well I wouldn't say my friend I only met her twice but she was cool dead in the parking lot at the store where I work. He came over and asked me if I knew anything about her. I told him I did and it went from there…"
