It was a cold miserable night and sat staring out of her bedroom window sat eleven year old Ashleigh, Ashleigh sighed and turned to her laptop, turning it on she noticed that her best friend, only friend Cassie was online.

Hey you ok? Ashleigh typed.

Yea what's going on with the weather tonight? Cassie replied.

Wish I knew, I've got to go Dad came home drunk again Ashleigh replied to Cassie adding a little upside down smiley at the end of her message.

Yea see you tomorrow at school good luck Cassie said before going offline.

Ashleigh logged off her laptop and safely hid it under her bed, sitting crossed legged Ashleigh waited for the smashing of glass, the slamming of doors and the wails of pain from her mother. Ashleigh stood up and carefully opened her bedroom door taking a quick peek down the corridor she over stepped the dog and quietly slipped into her mother's room.

"Ash baby stay in your room" Sharon sobbed "Your dad is in such a rage I don't know what he will do? Please honey"

"I don't think so!" Ashleigh replied "What gives him the right to come home drunk and beat the hell out of you?"

"He's the man of the house" Sharon replied smiling at her daughter.

"Man my arse!" Ashleigh snarled "As far as I'm concerned he's not a man, he's not even my father, no man does this to people he loves"

"Who said I ever loved you?" Alex snarled stepping towards his daughter and wife "If you don't like it leave, oh yeah I forgot you have got nowhere to go, so live with it"

Alex hit Ashleigh across the face and dragged her out of the room and towards the stairs, Sharon followed quickly a vase in hand, when Sharon saw Alex lift Ashleigh up into the air that was when Sharon smashed the vase across his head, Alex then fell down the stairs dropping Ashleigh to the floor, Alex came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs and didn't move.

"Oh my god Alex" Sharon wailed stepping over Ashleigh and running down the stairs "Please be alive, please"

Ashleigh groaned from the floor eventually she stood up and screamed when she saw her mother at the bottom of the stairs sobbing into her father's chest hands covered in blood, Ashleigh then ran into her mother's bed room and dialled 911.

"What service?" The operator asked.

"I need the police and an ambulance; I think my mom has killed my dad?" Ashleigh replied starting to sob "Please hurry"

The operator despatched the ambulance and informed Las Vegas PD, where Jim Brass took the call.

The nightshift team sat around the break room table relaxing for once, up to this point the night was quiet and they all had managed to catch up with paperwork, now Sara and Catherine sat discussing wedding plans and their future husband's bad habits at home.

"I caught Gil trying to clean up my shampoo with the new set of bath towels" Sara said shaking her head "Honestly when it comes to solving a crime he's the brightest man I know, but I swear I'm going to kill him"

"Sara that's nothing I caught Warrick using one of my best bras as a toiletry holder" Catherine replied giggling at the memory "Actually we both have men who haven't got a clue"

Sara nodded and looked out into the corridor to find Jim coming down it paper in hand, Sara nudged Catherine who in turn nudged Greg.

"Ouch I know we are bored but can you not beat me up?" Greg groaned rubbing his arm "Oh hey Jim, what brings you to the lab?"

"I bring you a case" Jim replied looking around the room settling his eyes on Sara "Where's Gil?"

"In his office" Sara replied smiling as Gil entered the room "Actually he's right behind you"

"Evening Jim" Gil greeted his friend "What brings you here?"

"I bring a case; just happened across town" Jim replied sitting down next to Warrick at the table "Daughter called it in, her mother killed her father"

"Oh right" Sara replied looking at Gil, he the only one knowing Sara's past "How is the girl? How old is she?"

"I don't know just got a call from the operator to get to 1234 Pepper hill Drive as soon as I had a team" Jim replied "Found my team you ready to go?"

Gil nodded and started on his way to fetch his kit, Warrick, Nick, Greg followed Catherine noticed Sara reluctance to move so tapped her on the shoulder.

"We have a case Sara" Catherine said looking at Sara's face "What is bothering you?"

"Nothing sorry I'm coming" Sara replied walking briskly out the room and getting her kit and making her way to the car she was sharing with Catherine that evening.

While driving to the scene Greg couldn't help but notice the silence in the car, leaning through the gap between chairs he moved his hand to put on the radio to receive to slaps on his hand and a growl from Catherine.

"I swear you two are trying to hurt me" Greg thought aloud going quiet as Catherine pulled up at the scene.

Sara got out the car straight away and walked to the yellow crime tape that stretched around the whole of the property, Sara waited for the rest of the team to receive instructions from Gil.

"Catherine, Greg I want you on the upstairs" Gil asked receiving nods "Warrick downstairs, Nick outside with me and Sara?"

"Ill take the girl" Sara replied picking up the crime tape and walking over to Ashleigh on the front porch "Hi my name is Sara, what's yours?"

"Ashleigh, my name is Ashleigh" replied Ashleigh looking into Sara's eyes "My dad didn't deserve to die the way he did"

"Why Ashleigh?" Sara enquired sitting next to Ashleigh who turned to face Sara.

"Not by my own mother, yea he was violent when drunk called us both names" Ashleigh explained wiping away at her newly formed tears "but when he was sober he was the nicest dad ever, he brought me Bingo"

"You mean the game?" Sara asked intrigued at the story.

"No silly" Ashleigh replied laughing quietly "My Dog Bingo"

"Oh right" Sara replied smiling "Sorry"

"Don't worry about it" Ashleigh replied "What will happen now? I mean to me and Bingo?"

"To be honest under the circumstances you will be taken into care and Bingo a dog's home" Sara responded truthfully shocked at Ashleigh's hug.

"Can you please luck after Bingo?" Ashleigh begged "Please, he won't be any trouble I promise, yes take me into care but not Bingo, please?"

Sara sat there next to Ashleigh who begged and pleaded with her, Sara was going to try and help Ashleigh anyway she could after all Sara had went through the exact same thing at around Ashleigh's age, so Sara knew the emotions that were going through the young girls mind at this sad time.
