Grissom turned off his car engine and climbed out. He for once felt like he wanted to stay in bed and not go to work, but that was not like him. He decided he would go home if needed to. Catherine got out of her side of the car and grabbed their kits. She walked to him and rubbed his arm. This made grissom jump.

"You Ok?" She asked.

"I have a cold, a sore throat and I'm tired… and I will not go home" He replied struggling to swallow. He watched as the uniforms filed out followed by Brass.

"It's all clear in their guy's, safe to go in" Brass Called. He looked puzzled.

Catherine and Grissom looked at each other.

"What's up" She asked.

"You two are wearing exactly the same thing."

They looked at each other. They were. Both in black trousers, dark blue shirts (well Catherine in a blouse), each had a brown jacket on and their FORENSICS wind breakers.

They waved it of and entered the house. Grissom had a chill come over him. It seemed colder in the dark house then it did outside. He watched his breath disappear as he entered the living room followed closely by Catherine. There flash lights danced around the room as they surveyed their surroundings, they would come back, once they had done a once over of the house. They saw a picture of a group of 3 children, a small baby, a teenage girl about 14 and a 4 year old boy. It looked recent.

"Brass didn't say any thing about any children." Grissom said as they left the room and went across to the dining room but they weren't long in there. They walked up the creaky stairs and into the hallway. Catherine looked at a young boy's room; it was covered in cars, Lorries and Thomas the tank engine. She then joined grissom in the master bedroom.

"I've been in the bathroom, no signs of a man present in the house or recently, I haven't been in the girl's bedroom yet, you coming?"

"Ok" she replied.

They quietly walked out of the master bedroom and into a dark gloomy teenager's room.

Grissom noticed that a close door was open a small crack. He put his hand up to warn Catherine. They both drew their guns. Grissom flung open the door.

"Las Vegas Police Department!" Catherine shouted. "Freeze!"

"Don't shoot!" a young sounding voice shouted, "Please she's hurt"

Grissom put his gun back and shone his torch into closet, but not in the faces of the people inside, and knelt down to where the voice was coming from he saw a young teenage girl holding a fidgeting 4 year old and beside her a small baby fast asleep.

She looked at Grissom Scared.

"You needn't be afraid of me, I'm a scientist"

She looked a little more relaxed.

"Who are you then?"

"Olivia Louise Isaac" she said. "My brother Jonathan and my sister Hannah."

"Ok" Grissom said "This is Catherine she works with me, she's going to go with you to the detective down stairs."

"Will you take Hannah for me please? I need to help my mum"

Grissom looked in the closet as Olivia passed him the small baby.

He moved out the way and stood near the door waiting for the two children to appear.

"I'll help your mum Olivia don't worry" Catherine said.

Olivia for some reason trusted Catherine, She took her little brother went up to Grissom's

side.

"Ok" She said sounding ready to leave the house. Grissom gave Olivia his torch so she could guide them down the stairs and outside to the flashing police lights and sirens that went off every so often.
