Chapter 1- Aunt Sara

Sara pulled up at her bother's house and got out. 'What's going on?' she thought to herself as she saw the car in the driveway but all the lights in the house were off. She opened the front door and walked in. She had called her brother up five minutes before and got no answer. 'Where can he be?' she thought to herself as she scanned the rooms for signs of life. She called out his name but got no answer. That's when she heard it. A little whimper. "Hello? Is anyone there?" she called out.

"Yeah. There's some one here. Can you help me?" she heard a teenage girl's voice say. Then she saw something move in the distance.

"Yes. I'll help you. I'm with the CSI. Just tell me, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Sara, is that you?" she heard the voice say. 'Aunt Sara? Wait a minute. I know who that is.' Sara thought to herself as she ran up to the teenager.

"What are you doing here?" the girl asked.

"I came to see your dad, Kristy." Sara said as she hugged the little girl. Sara heard her niece cry a little and saw her point at her dad's bedroom. Sara got up and walked over to her brother's room.

"Stay there." she said to Kristy. Sara walked around the corner and into her brother's room. 'Oh my..' she thought as she saw her brother and his wife's bodies on the floor. She walked out of the room and over to Kristy. "Come on. We better get you out of here." she said to her niece as she escorted her out of the house and into her car. They drove to the lab.

When they got to the lab, Sara brought Kristy up to Catherine. "Kristy, this is my friend, Catherine. Catherine, this is my niece, Kristy." Sara introduced.

"Pleased to meet you Miss Catherine." Kristy said politely.

"You can call me Catherine. I didn't know that it was 'Bring your niece to work day'." Catherine said.

"It's not. I went to my brother's house this morning. He and his wife are dead. So, I thought I should bring her with me." Sara said looking down at her feet.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sara. I didn't mean it. You better go talk to Grissom about finding out who killed your brother and his wife, and what to do with your niece." Catherine said as she looked Kristy over. "Wow. Are you sure she isn't your daughter or something? She sure looks like you." Catherine said as Sara started walked over to Grissom's office.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." Sara called back laughing a little. Sara knocked on Grissom's door lightly. "Grissom?" she called to him.

"Sara. Come in." Grissom called from behind the door. Sara pushed open the door and walked in.

"Um…Grissom, I went to my brother's house this morning because I called but he didn't answer and when I looked in his bedroom, I found him and his wife dead on the floor. Their daughter was there and I couldn't leave her, so…here she is." Sara said as she stepped out of the way and showed Kristy.

"Hi. My name is Kristy. You must be Grissom. Sara has.." Kristy started to say before Sara slapped her hand over Kristy's mouth.

"Ha. She likes to talk a little more than she needs to. Don't you, Kristy?" Sara asked.

"Yeah." Kristy said smiling.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you, Kristy. Wow. You look a lot like your aunt. The only thing different is your eyes. Yours are blue and hers are brown." Grissom said as he looked at the two and compared them.

"Um...Grissom, is it okay if Kristy works with me and we try and find out who killed my brother and his wife?" Sara asked.

"Well, if she's as good as you at finding things, then yeah." Grissom said. Sara blushed a little and walked toward the door.

"Thank you." she said as she walked out.
