Somewhere in Vegas..
A man sits in a room lit only with a lamp that sits on a desk, in front of him are some pictures of crime scenes, a specific man stands out in them; tall, lean, big smile, bright eyes,short,shaved hair. He grins down at the photos and picks one up his eyes gleaming.
"Your all mine Mr. Stokes." He said pinning the picture up on a beam, the picture shows nick at a crime scene taking pictures.
Nick grinned widely as he tossed his camping gear into the back of his truck, and climbing in the drivers seat pulled out of his drive way. Finally after two weeks of nothing but work he was getting a weekend off, he was heading straight for the mountains no phones, no pagers ,and no work, just him and the great outdoors. He couldn't wait, it was a two hour drive to the Camp ground and then all he had to do was dump his stuff in the cabin and he was free all day.
It was around two pm when nick finally made it to the camp site and it toke another half hour to get the keys to the cabin he had rented, he put his stuff i the cabin and then stood out on the front porch taking in the air and surrounding, from his perch he could see the lake sparkling blue and rippling in a lit cool breeze, campers lined the beach fishing or swimming. Heaving a deep breath nick started off a on hike through the woods.
A pair of eyes watched the young CSI leave his cabin and jog off into the woods, a grin formed on the face, as he moved off to follow him.
"After all these years i finally found you Nick Stokes.
Nick panted his breaths coming in huffs of air, the temp had cooled off, he was debating on weather or not to turn around, he'd noticed clouds rolling in and it looked like rain, he slowed to a stand still and doubled up to catch is breath and look around himself he was pretty deep in woods now, he turned to head back when a noise caused him to stop and look around again. He goes on alert watching, listening, waiting, a man steps out of the brush startling nick he huffs a breath and backs up a step or two.
"Sorry man didn't mean to scare you i was just taking a walk, such beautiful day." The guy greeted nick like an old buddy. But, Nick stayed on guard, watching the man closely.
"Yeah it is." Nick answered his eyes darting around.
"I'll let you get back to your hike good evening." and the man disappeared again. Nick let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, the turning around again jogged back towards his cabin, those same dark eyes watched his retreating back a grin spreading along his face, as a plan formed in his head.
Duh Duh Duh..
Vegas the city that never sleeps is filled with criminals that never sleep..
Thats was Warrick Brown was thinking as he pulled up to yet another scene, he was so going to get his partner for this, how in the world he pulled vaca time he didn't know in fact no one knew, nick had told he hadn't put in for it, and yet there it had been for every one to see nick had pulled the whole week end, not that he hadn't earned it pulling almost four doubles on his last case he needed at least two days just to recover.
"Hey Sara what do have?" He asked the sour faced brunette, she didn't look up at him.
"a john doe died late last night garbage man found him this morning while picking up trash." Sara said.
"Um it looks like a knife wound may be the COD but I'll know more after the autopsy." Dave said standing.
"Alright thanks man we all clear?Warrick asked donning gloves and waiting.
"Yeah all yours." Dave replied back off to allow the investigators to work. Warrick knelt down and examined the body for trace at the scene, and toke prints for the victim, then he stopped to stare at the young face, taking in the round cheeks, and small lips.
"He can't more then nine or ten." Warrick pointed out lifting himself form the hot concrete.
"Yeah shame, lets get started i have a feeling it's going to be a long day."Sara walked up to the dumpster pulling gloves on.
Grissom looked down at his victim and frowned and child no older the nine or ten with round cheeks and blank blue eyes.
"You alright Cathrine?' he asked her realizing she was just staring at the boy. She just nodded.
"He was stabbed , lady found him while digging for food in the dumpster."Cath reported Grissom nodded and returned his attention to the boy on the ground, and David next to him.
"knife wound definitely killed him, Warrick and Sara have a simular case over on tempest drive." Dave said and the body was taken away, Grissom lifted his eyebrows.
"They might be related."Cathrine said, as she sifted through garbage for evidence swabbing blood and bagging this and that.
"we'll have to have a meeting at the lab, compare notes." Grissom agreed. They spent the rest of the morning collecting evidence, and then headed back to the lab.
