Finally the plane landed and the CSIs and Ed got off. As they walked through the terminal, having retrieved their luggage, they met up with Lindsey and Sharon.

"Hey, welcome back".

Sharon smiled and reached out to her father, Ed smiled after being told what was going on and gently took her in his arms.

"Hey sweetie, I'm back".

The other CSIs mentioned returning to the lab to file some paperwork regarding the case so Ed and Lindsey decided to leave with Sharon and, at Ed's request stop by his parents' house. As they left Grissom spoke.

"We couldn't have done this without you, thanks. Great effort from our 'unofficial' CSI level 1".

Everybody laughed and soon Ed, Lindsey and Sharon were heading to the Kennedy's house.

When they arrived Ed knocked on the door. His mother answered it and smiled, she hugged him and spoke.

"Welcome back, did everything go well".

"Everything went great Mom, can we come in, I've got some news for Dad".

"Of course, c'mon in".

They headed inside, Liam was sitting in the living room, he looked and smiled as the happy family entered.

"Hey, how'd everything go?"

"Brilliantly, Dad, I've got something important to tell you...I met Grandpa".

Liam's eyes widened and then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank God, he's still alive, so I take it you saw his medals all that from his military service".

"Yeah, he even has a Hero of the Soviet Union Medal for his activities during Stalingrad".

Liam nodded smiling. It was some time later that Ed, Lindsey and Sharon left and returned to their apartment, Sharon needed changing so Lindsey immediately got to work while Ed began working on preparing dinner, the happy family was reunited, the case solved, they were completely happy once again.

Meanwhile Grissom and Sara were discussing the events of the case at Grissom's house. Grissom noted that Beria had not offered any excuse for his actions and had a theory about why.

"The way I see it, he felt his actions alone were justification for what he did, in his mind...Revenge was motivation enough, it was honest, he saw no need to make excuses or justify what he had done. He had done it and that was all that mattered to him".

Sara sighed and nodded.

"In a way, he got the last laugh, he got what he wanted, he didn't care about consequences, he killed the man he wanted revenge on and that was that. What happened afterwards, didn't matter to him".

Grissom nodded in agreement and soon their conversation about the case stopped as they kissed and fell back onto the bed, it was over now, despite being arrested and, in some people's minds, being the real victim, Beria had, in a way, won, but for the CSIs it was another case solved and another criminal behind bars.

End of chapte and story, The case is solved and everything is back to normal, as normal as it can be in Vegas. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
