Nothing to say really except that, as you could see in the preview, this story is set 2 years after 'I'm New And Already A Hostage'.

ENJOY!

18 year old Cassandra Lennox was sat in DNA waiting for the computer to make some noise to tell her she had a match on the case they were working on. Although she had been waiting for nearly and hour and was almost going stir crazy. Her hands were on either side of her head, holding it up, and she was bouncing her right leg up and down. She just kept staring at the screen which had 78% Complete written on it; All she could see was the screen and her eye-skimming bangs (fringe), totally oblivious that someone was behind her.

"Boo!" Someone said when they touched her. She screamed in surprise. She turned around to see Ryan laughing.

"Ryan!" She yelled, then turned back to looking back at the screen. Ryan kept laughing and walked so he was stood beside her and lent on the glass table.

"Sorry, you looked like you were drifting off so I thought I'd wake you up" He smiled.

"More like starting to go crazy" She looked at him.

"I've been sat here for an hour, waiting for these results and my ass is numb!" She complained. Ryan laughed.

"Been there, Where's Natalia?" He asked. She looked back at the screen and gave a loud sigh.

"Fortunately for her it's her day off" She replied.

79% Complete.

"GAH!, That's it, I'm going for coffee, who new results could take so long!" She said as she got up and walked out the room, Ryan in tow.

As they were walking through the lab they walked past an officer who had a handcuffed 19 year old boy with him. The boy looked her up and down and smiled a smile that gave her shivers.

She made a shivering noise.

"What?" Ryan asked.

"Did you see the look that guy gave me?" She asked as she looked at him. Ryan looked back at the 19 year old who had just turned a corner. He looked back at Cassie.

"Maybe he thought you were cute. I mean, that haircut does make you look it" He answered.

"You saying I didn't look cute before?" She raised her scarred eyebrow, even though he couldn't see it as it was covered by her bangs.

"No I'm just saying that, you know...because he's never seen you before he probably thought you looked cute because those bangs make you look cute" He realized what he just said.

"That came out wrong...what I meant was-" He was starting to sweat now.

"It's ok Ryan. I know what you mean." Cassie interrupted and smiled at him. Ryan sighed in relief. They continued their walk to the break room.

30 MINUTES LATER

Cassie walked back in to DNA to hear the beep of the computer. She walked up to it and smiled.

"Mike Watson, your under arrest for murder" She said aloud.

Cassie was in the locker room and was retrieving her things from her locker when Calleigh and Eric walked in.

"Hey Cassie" Calleigh greeted. Cassie turned her head and smiled.

"Hey Cal" She replied.

"Hey Cass, we're all gonna go get a drink, wan't to come?" Eric asked as he closed his locker. Cassie put her bag over her shoulder and closed her locker. She turned and leaned on it.

"I wish I could but I can't. I gotta go to my sisters" She said.

"Alright, well, maybe next time" He said. All three of them walked out together.

$$$$$ CSI MIAMI $$$$$

Once they had reached the doors that led to the cold night outside it had started raining. Everyone practically ran to their cars to prevent getting soaked. Cassie's mom was already waiting for her. Even though Cassie was 18 and old enough to drive, she didn't have a car yet, which she was hoping she would get soon.

Cassie got in the back as her sister Reagan was in the passenger seat.

"Hey sweetie, how was your day?" Her mother asked. Cassie put her seat belt on and settled in her seat.

"Slow" She said.

"Sounds about right" Reagan said as she looked out the window.

"Where's Bailee?" Cassie asked.

"She's been at Sadie's all day" Her mother answered. Esme started the car and drove away.

One Horatio Caine could be seen looking through the window of the lab, watching as his youngest CSI was being driven away. He had a weird feeling, something wasn't right. He blinked and then turned and walked away.

20 MINUTES LATER

Horatio was stood outside the Crime Lab and was about to go home, believe it or not, when his phone rings. (A/N - When have we ever heard or seen Horatio go home, LOL). The rain had stopped which was good.

"Caine" He answered.

"Horatio" It was Frank.

"What's wrong Frank?" He asked.

"There was a car accident just 10 minutes away from the Lab. Three victims, only one survived..." He said. Horatio was about to speak when Frank spoke first.

"Horatio it's the Lennox family" He finished. Horatio was speechless. He didn't know what to say.

"Cassie?" He asked sadly.

"She was one of them, only she was the survivor. The other two, both female, possibly her mother and maybe her sister" He said. Frank had never met anyone from Cassie's family during her 2 years at CSI so he had no clue who they were in relation to her.

Horatio sighed in relief that his CSI was alive but was sad that not only did two people die, but his young friend had lost her sister and mother.

"I'm on my way" He said and then hung up.

AT THE ACCIDENT

When Horatio arrived, he could see police cars and ambulance lights flashing, lighting up the whole street. The worst thing he saw was the Lennox car turned upside down. Smashed, wrecked, you probably wouldn't even believe the car had front. The source of it all was a giant truck which was just a few metres away. It hadn't really obtained any damage, that monster could squish any type of car.

Horatio got out of the car and walked up to Frank. A he was walking he saw a body on a stretcher, he just got a glimpse of their face when the medics covered it with the sheet. It was Reagan.

He also saw that they were trying to get her mothers body out of the car. He had finally reached Frank who turned around to look at him.

"Horatio, there was only one eye witness who was walking his dog. He said that he saw the car on the wrong side of the road and that the truck tried to slow down but...it was to late. Not really much to go on really" He said.

"Where's Cassie?" He asked. Frank nodded to where she was which was on a stretcher with two paramedics. He walked over to her. He saw that she was wearing a neck brace and had a few cuts and bruises on her face. He heard the paramedics exchange information.

"18 year old female, possibly cracked a few ribs-" One said. When Horatio looked at her face, he saw that she was very much awake and was aware of what was going on around her. She had blood in her hair, possibly from hitting her head.

"Cassie" He called. He was right beside her head, much to the paramedics liking. Cassie, unable to move her head, moved her eyes to the right so she could look at the one who holds the familiar voice.

"H..." She croaked.

"Your gonna be alright Cassie, ok?" He reassured. The paramedics had moved her into the ambulance, allowing Horatio to join them, and had now started towards the hospital. Horatio took her hand in his. She looked at him.

"Mom...Reagan..." She whispered. Horatio didn't know how to tell her. The look he was giving her already told her the truth. A single tear rolled down the side of her face. He squeezed her hand.

"I'm sorry Cassie...I'm truly sorry"

SHEESH! I've been at this for god know's how long. Although I did have a few distractions...R&R!
