Never Forget The Past Chapter One Miami

The bright sun shone behind Horatio Caine as he stared down at the body at his feet, his sunglasses gripped tightly in one hand that banged against his thigh. Shaking his head, his eyes filled with sadness at this sight. This was the second body they had found a woman, a more mature woman stabbed and left in a dark alleyway.

Speed and Delko were investigating whom she was and hoping that there was a connection between the two women, he looked up and saw Calleigh just finishing up. The blonde looked over and smiled at him indicating that she had actually finished.

Horatio put his sunglasses on and turned away from the body looking at the buildings, the place where she had been dumped. Shaking his head he walked towards his car, people still managed to surprise him on what they could do to each other and themselves.

The Morgue

The beautiful dark skinned woman stared down at the body.

"Ok sweetheart let's find out what happened to you and see if we can find any clues." Alex said to her as she gently and lovingly checked the body over for any signs that would give the CSI's something to go on.

Horatio watched Alex as she dealt with the body reverently, with respect. This was one of the things he admired most about her even though the woman was dead Alex never treated her that way, never treated any of them like that. She talked to them as if they could answer, could tell her their secrets, to let her know what had happened to them and in a way they did.

Horatio opened his mouth to ask Alex what she had found out when Tim Speedle rushed in.

"What is it Speed?" Horatio asked.

"We have a connection, The French Palace, Las Vegas they both worked there as exotic dancers, years ago." He told his boss with a grin.

"Well." Horatio said softly. "It looks like a road trip."

Speed watched the man he admired, Horatio Caine, he was an unassuming man, he never raised his voice and he rarely looked at people in the eyes. But, you could trust him with your life and he would do whatever could to find out who the killer was, he was a leader in the truest sense of the word.

Las Vegas

Sara Sidle watched as Gil Grissom headed through the hallways catching up with everyone, making sure that they were all on top of everything. She watched as he walked past the DNA Lab stopping briefly to open the door as music belted out.

"Greg I have already told you no punk rock." Grissom said to the young technician.

Greg grinned at him but turned the music off, Sara had known Grissom for a few years and the first time she had met him she had fallen for the quiet but brilliant scientist, he surpassed her mentally and that was one of the things that she had found most attractive about him. So she loved being her working with him, sometimes she thought that he felt more than friendship for her and then other times that is all it was and it confused her, it made her think that she didn't know him.

Detective Jim Brass headed straight for Gil, Sara watched as he whispered to her boss and they both headed into his office, something was wrong she could feel it in her gut and her gut was usually right.

Catherine Willows was the last one to walk into the briefing room she shrugged her shoulders.

"Sorry guys I just had to finish up some things on my last case." She told them with a smile.

"That's ok Catherine. Just to let you know we are going to have some visitors." Gil said evasively.

"Who?" Sara asked as she smiled at him.

Catherine shook her head it was so obvious that Sara was head over heels for Gil but she had no idea what he felt towards the young brunette, her heart ached at the thought that he had feelings for the young CSI, she herself had been in love with Gil for a very long time but knew her chances with him were slim, very slim he only thought of her as his friend, one of his best friends and she didn't want to ruin that.

"Miami-Dade." He looked at Catherine and then at Warrick. "I believe you already met them when you went to Miami,"

"Yes we did." Warrick said and before he could tell them anything about the people they had met the door opened.

Horatio stood their looking around the room and his eyes landed on Catherine Willows, the beautiful CSI he had met, he had tried to ask her out but the words just would come.

"Catherine." He said with a smile holding out his hand.

"Horatio." She replied her smile lighting up the room and she gripped his hand as they stood their staring at each other.

Gil frowned he didn't like this, not one bit and the investigation hadn't even started.
