Chapter 13:Satisfaction.
"He whát?" Greg threw his jacket on the floor and took his processing kit out of his locker after which he quickly followed Sara to the parking lot where Grissom and Nick were already waiting in the car.
Greg and Sara got in, the moment Greg closed the door, Grissom hit the gas pedal and they set off to the Crime Scene
The roads were relatively clear for the time of day, so the team got to Alex's house fast where they were held up by a few dozen people, probably neighbours, who were standing behind the yellow tape surrounding the driveway.
The first thing Greg noticed was that there was a very strong silence amongst the crowd, he wasn't sure whether it was shock or ignorance, it was hard to believe that everyone here knew about what had happened seeing that the suicide had only occurred half an hour ago.
There was another thing that struck Greg's attention the moment he got out of the car, a young girl was screaming and crying somewhere on the far right of the crowd.
"And Greg, you talk to the parents" Apparently Grissom had been handing out tasks for a while, Greg had been too busy analysing the scene.
Greg nodded and walked towards the front door, but somehow he couldn't help but to make a de-tour to the now heart-rending crying girl.
He was surprised to see Rebecca sitting on the sidewalk surrounded by a few of her friends who all had the same grieving look on their faces.
"Rebecca?" Greg asked.
Rebecca looked up with the sound of his voice, looking bewildered.
Her mascara had run all over her face, and her eyes were swollen from the tears.
She jumped up and pulled Greg to an open spot behind the mass of people.
"He shouldn't have died, he shouldn't have!" Rebecca cried.
Greg put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a comforting look.
"No one should die, especially at his age-"
"No! You don't understand!" Rebecca pushed Greg's hand off and turned her head away.
Greg wasn't sure what to expect, for some reason the girl had an ashamed look on her face.
"I loved Alex, I wouldn't do anything to hurt him. Now he's dead, and only because I wanted to protect him! He didn't know what he was doing, he loved ME! Not her! And now that little bitch killed him, just as I thought she was no longer a threat to our relationship!" The gasping she had been doing while speaking had now turned into loud crying.
"You murdered Cassie?" Greg couldn't believe what he had just heard, he couldn't believe it had taken a boy to die before they could solve the case.
Rebecca looked at Greg, a small almost satisfied looking grin came across her face.
"Yeah, I relieved the world from yet another loser"
Greg shook his head and waved at an officer standing nearby.
Greg watched the cop butting handcuffs on Rebecca who let it all happen.
While she was taken to the police car, she turned her head to Greg, smiling.
"You know, I did the girl a favour. She would've died of grief anyway when she would have found out that Alex never loved her, that eventually he and I would be together"
"I wouldn't be too sure of that, he killed himself out of love for Cassie. He didn't stay alive out of love for you".
With those words, Rebecca's self-satisfied grin disappeared from her face.
Greg's face on the other hand, was now shining with satisfaction.
