I am thankful for the suggestions on my dialogue. I am working on making it more clear and understandable. I do not own CSI.


At the station

When we got to the station I walked to the front desk talking the lady behind it. "I'm here to see Jim Brass."

From Behind me I heard. "You must be Melody, Sara said you would come by."

Turning around to where a guy in his late forties stood I signed so Lidia knew what I was saying.

"Yes, I brought Lidia with me so we could ask her a few questions and get her cleaned up."

Taking a step towards us he said. "Why don't I show you to a washroom and see if I can find her something else to change in to?"

I nodded okay while I signed to Lidia what was going on as we followed behind Jim Brass. I got the majority of the blood off her, what bit was left I couldn't get out of her hair. I heard a soft knock at the door and I stood up from where I was crouched down beside her and I went to see who it was. I was relived to see it was Brass with a change of cloths.

I gave him a question look wondering how he found a pair so quickly. He knew what I was thinking and replied. "A buddy of mine has a daughter in college, but he still keeps a change of her cloths in his car from when she would come here after her soccer practice."

Then he handed me the cloths and I mouthed thank you as I walked back into the washroom.

I quickly helped Lidia change into the new outfit. I could tell she was happy to have cloths on that didn't have blood on them. I stood up and offered her my hand as we walked out of the washroom. I told Brass I could interpret which he agreed since Lidia trusted me.

We were all seated in the break room, Brass thought it would be better to do it there instead of an interrogation room. I handed Lidia a cup of hot chocolate to help calm her down a little. I had to face her so I talked and signed at the same time.

"Lidia, this is one of my friends, Jim Brass, we're going to ask you a few question."

Lidia turned a little to look at the man who sat across from me.

"Ok" She signed as I explained to Brass how this was going to work.

"I'll sign and talk and when she signs something I'll tell you what she signs."

While I was talking I also signed so Lidia wouldn't feel left out. I turned back around to face Lidia I taped her shoulder to let her know we were ready to start.

"First off why don't you tell us what happened?" I asked knowing I knew the main thing that had happened but I had to have this innocent little girl who saw it to tell me the details for what had happened. After telling us what she remembered Brass asked me.

"Why don't you take her to the play room down the hall to your left?"

I simply nodded and asked Lidia if she wanted to go but, all she did was take my hand and we walked down the hall.


Please let me know what you think. I also went back and fixed some mistakes.
