Catherine finally arrived home, when she walked inside the first thing she saw was Lindsey sitting on the sofa with a boy who looked to be around seventeen, he had short black hair and green eyes, was dressed casually in a simple pair of jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of tennis shoes, he and Lindsey were talking to each other, judging from his accent he was from South Boston. Catherine cleared her throat, Lindsey looked up.

"Mom, hey".

Both Lindsey and the boy stood up, Catherine noticed they were holding hands, they both then walked over to her, Lindsey continued to speak.

"Mom, remember how I told you I had a boyfriend, this is Ed".

The boy smiled and held out his hand.

"Edward Kennedy, my friends just call me Ed, nice to meet Ms. Willows".

Catherine shook Ed's hand and then they all sat down, Catherine smiled, she had barely seen him for five minutes but she could tell Ed was a decent person.

"So Ed, why don't you tell a little bit about yourself?"

He smiled.

"Yeah sure, I was born in South Boston, my family and I moved to Vegas just a few months ago. My Dad he's a chef and my Mom's a nurse."

"Any hobbies?"

"Well, don't know if I would call them hobbies but I have an interest in history and politics, things like that".

There was silence for a while and then Ed decided to mention something else.

"It also helps sometimes that I'm fluent in two other languages".

Catherine raised an eyebrow impressed.

"Really, what other languages do you speak?"

"Spanish and Russian, Spanish I learned out of interest in the language, Russian, well, apparently my Dad's got a Russian grandfather, I've never met him but my Dad's also fluent in Russian".

There was idle chatter amongst the three as they spoke until Lindsey decided to tell her mother something important.

"Ed, I think my Mom ought to know the truth".

Catherine was confused, Ed nodded slowly and explained.

"Well, things may seem a little bit weird sometimes, I might not make eye contact with you when I'm talking, I can't help it, the truth is, basically I'm...blind".

Finally Catherine realised the reason for his strange behaviour, most of the time while talking his eyes would not be focused but when Catherine or Lindsey spoke they would flick towards them.

"Oh, sorry, that's fine, I understand".

"I have basic light dark sensitivity, I can tell when the light in the room I'm in switches on and that but otherwise I can't see a thing".

Catherine nodded, now she understood the reason Lindsey hadn't let go of Ed's hand when they were walking towards her or when they sat back down, she was guiding him, just then her phone rang, she quickly answered it.

"Yeah?"

"Catherine".

It was Grissom.

"Gil, yeah I know, you don't have to say anymore".

"Okay, see you soon".

She hung up, Lindsey smiled.

"Good luck".

Catherine nodded and then returned to her car and drove back to the Crime Lab.

Sara and Nick meanwhile headed for the autopsy room, Doctor Al Robbins had just finished the autopsy and was waiting for them, when they walked in they found him taking a picture of the victim with his own personal camera, Nick smirked and comment.

"Another picture for the scrapbook Doc?"

Al looked up and responded.

"Yeah, James Henderson, infamous TV show host, deserves a spot on my scrapbook. Now, onto what I found out during the Autopsy".

He put the camera away and limped back to the side of the table where all his equipment was gathered. He then began his report.

"If you're looking for a surprise for C/O/D/ then I'm sorry to disappoint, Cause of Death was asphyxiation, he was strangled, quite possibly by that microphone cord, helps to be sure, the cord's over there and you can take a photo of the ligature mark to make sure".

Sara took the photo and then spotted something odd on Henderson's neck, just above the ligature mark.

"Doc, what's that?"

Robbins realised what she was pointing it, it was an unusual substance that was smeared on his neck.

"I spotted that, no idea what it is".

"I'll collect a sample for trace".

Robbins nodded and after the sample was collected Robbins handed over Henderson's DNA and fingerprints. After that they left the autopsy room, examination of the microphone cord turned up two fingerprints, a whole print and another partial, finally they began a through analysis of the evidence, especially after finding a cell phone in the woman's handbag, after careful examination they were able to draw a list of conclusions from what they had found out so far. The black hair on the microphone cord had a skin tag but the DNA didn't match anyone in the system, they were still waiting on results for the trace fibres from the victims suit and for the identity of the strange substance found on his neck, comparison between the microphone cord itself and the ligature mark proved it was indeed the murder weapon. The shoeprint found inside the studio turned out to be adult female size five, it matched one of the two sets of prints Greg had found outside, the other shoeprints were adult male size seven, they had swabbed the mouth end of the pipe for DNA but again the person wasn't in the system, they were still not able to get a match on the fingerprint from the pipe or even from the partial on the microphone cord, the whole print on the cord came back as the victims fingerprint, the cell phone, fingerprint from the handbag and the DNA that had been swabbed from the lipstick were still being processed; while waiting Sara walked into Grissom's office to report their findings so far.

She knocked on the door and walked in, Grissom looked up and smiled.

"Hey".

"Hey, um, well we're still checking the evidence, so far it's not going so well, still haven't figured out who left that hair on the microphone cord, the prints are turning out to be no use at the moment and we're still waiting on a few results coming in".

Grissom sighed.

"As always, the only thing we can rely on in this job, is patience".

Sara smiled at that.

"Yeah, you're right, I mean, look what it finally got us".

With those words she walked around the desk and Grissom stood up, they briefly kissed before they were forced to separate, just in time as Ecklie came into view and entered Grissom's office.

"Okay, Grissom, as you know the death of a media sensation like James Henderson is gonna cause them to go crazy please tell me you have something".

Grissom shook his head.

"Sorry Conrad, I don't, but we're working on it, we should have something soon".

"Fine".

Ecklie then left the office. Meanwhile Catherine and Nick were awaiting the results of both the DNA and the fingerprint from the lipstick and the handbag respectively, they had analyzed the cell phone and found that it belonged to a woman named Lisa Farrow, now they just ahd to determine if it was her fingerprint on the bag, or if her bag had been stolen. While waiting they began talking to each other.

"Say Cath, did you ever watch any of Henderson's shows?"

Catherine shook her head.

"No why, did you?"

"Once, I thought the guy was being a little forward in what he said, I decided not to watch it any more".

They were quiet for a minute both looking at each other out of the corner of their eye, just then they finally got their results in, the fingerprint on the bag matched Lisa Farrow and revealed she had a record.

"Here we are, Lisa Farrow, twenty-seven, arrested once for DUI when she was nineteen, arrested again when she twenty for shoplifting, nothing after that, she must've straightened out. She's a professional TV Critic and one the shows she reviewed was James Henderson's".

Catherine then picked up a nearby magazine and read it.

"She wasn't a fan of the show that's for sure, her reviews seem to be mostly negative, hey Nick take a look at this, it's a review for toady's show".

They read the review, it read.

'This man is the most sickening human being on Earth, he spoke about the 9/11 event as if it was some big joke, he deserves to die for such offensive words'

Nick and Catherine looked at each other.

"Sounds like she really hated this guy, think she hated him enough to want him dead?"

"We can place her at the scene and, look, it says here she's a size five shoe, she might not have just been in the audience".

So they decided to bring Lisa Farrow in for questioning.

End of chapter, Lindsey has a boyfriend, Ed, also the team now has a suspect to talk to, Lisa Farrow, will she reveal anything incriminating, stay tuned to find out, hope you enjoyed, read and review please.
