"Oh come on that can't be right." Lindsey Willows CSI level 2 yells at the screen showing Sara Sidle's picture. Her supervisor Greg Sanders walked by the room as she was yelling at the screen.

"What can't be right Linds?" He asks as he pokes his head into the DNA lab.

Lindsey rolls her eyes at the nickname given to her by her mom's former colleagues that have since left CSI Las Vegas either by choice or by death. "The DNA left at the scene I was working last night has 7 alleles in common with Sara. I know she was an only child."

Greg sighs realizing what no one has told the young CSI that he watched grow up now has to come up. "Lindsey. Why don't we go find your mom and talk to her about what you found."

Lindsey folds her arms like her mother Cathrine Willows who took over as lab director after Sara followed Grissom out to sea a little over four years ago. As Catherine hears a knock on her door she sees two of her favorite CSIs. After she waves them in she notices the worried look on Greg and the frustration on her daughter. "What's going on," she asks them.

"It seems we need to tell Lindsey about the childhood of Sara." Catherine fully sits back and wipes a hand across her forehead and eyes.

"Mom, what is going on?" Lindsey pleading with her eyes.

"Right now I am more than your boss and Greg as well."

"You're always more than my boss mom; I became a CSI because of you."

"Honey, Sara really didn't have a good childhood with loving parents."

"Okay, many people don't." Doing this job she has learned that people weren't lucky having a loving parent or parents like she did.

"She was abused by her father whenever he was drunk. By age five she had already been to the hospital many times with her mother Laura and brother James."

"I thought she was an only child."

"James was over ten years older than Sara. When Sara's mother stabbed her father when he tried to sexually assault Sara, she was taken to a foster home. She was only seven and her brother just turned eighteen, so he went to a half-way house." Lindsey's eyes go wide.

"Is that why you and Sara fought a lot before she was kidnapped?"

"I didn't know about what happened to her as a kid until after she married Grissom."

Greg clears his throat, "Neither did I. Sara said she told Grissom after she got suspended from getting in that fight with you, Cath."

"That was what 14 years ago?" Catherine isn't surprised that Grissom knew that about Sara, "that is why he didn't fire her when Ecklie told him to. That sly dog."

"Mom, can we get back to Sara." Catherine pulls herself out of memory lane.

"After she was taken into foster care her foster parents refused to let her contact her brother as he got into legal trouble shortly before their mother murdered their father."

"Why didn't Sara try and find him when she became a CSI?" Greg and Catherine look at each other.

"We don't know the answer to that, but we should try and get in contact with Sara and Grissom to get them back to Vegas."

"Cath, as much as I miss them when was the last time they were in signal reach?" Greg asks fed up.

"Greg we need to try, this is Sara's long lost brother we are talking about and she deserves to know that her brother isn't dead."

"Mom," Lindsey interjects, "it may take them some time to see that we called." Catherine looks at her daughter as she already knows that fact.

"I know that if two weeks pass, we will call our friends at the FBI and San Diego Crime Lab. Greg, Lindsey you call Sara, and I will call Grissom." The three CSIs all get out their phones and click on the names of their former colleagues.

A week later Lindsey is getting impatient about not hearing from Sara.

…..Meanwhile….

Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom step off his boat named Ishmael after the character from Moby Dick, and onto the San Diego pier. When their phones alert them to messages missed in the past week. "Gil, did you get a call from anyone from the lab?"

"Yes, Catherine called me, what about you."

"Greg and Lindsey."The two former CSIs can guess that something serious is going on if they both have received calls from Vegas.

"You should call Greg first while I call Catherine." Sara smiles in agreement. "Hello, Catherine."

"Gil, you finally called me back. We have an issue here." Catherine rushes to her office.

"What kind of issue? You called me and both Greg and Lindsey called Sara. Is Jim ok?"

"It's not Jim Gil, it's a male suspect sharing alleles with Sara."

"You guys found James."

"Lindsey found his DNA at a scene. We need you two here."

While Catherine was telling him about the DNA Sara reached Greg."Greg why did you call 10 times in the past 5 days?"

"Sar, we have a situation."

"What kind of situation."

"One that involves," Grissom signs 'your brother' to Sara.

"My brother." Sara's voice sounds as shocked as everyone feels.

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Gil is on the phone with Catherine and he just signed brother to me."

"Ok, but we need you two here as soon as you can catch a plane."

"Greg we will be there. I know I will be interviewed about James."

"I'm sorry Sara, I know this will be difficult for you."

"Greg, no need to be sorry for following the evidence."

"It was Lindsey that found this evidence."

"How did that discussion go?" Sara knows that Lindsey looks up to Sara for all the help she gave Lindsey as a teenager and her first few days being a CSI along with her interview process at the lab.

"She thought you were an only child."

"Who told her about my family history?"

"Both Catherine and I."

"Thanks for doing it together."

"Sara we both love you like family."

"I know, Gil and I feel the same, but I should go. We'll call you when we have a flight."

"Bye Sara, give Griss my love."

"I will, goodbye, give Cath and Linds my love too." Sara hangs up as Grissom puts his arms around her to give her a hug. "Well, this means my brother has been alive all this time and probably has followed our father's steps as an alcoholic."

"Honey, we don't know that. All we know is that he is a suspect in a crime." Sara puts her head on his shoulder as she remembers the last time she saw her brother was when she was taken into foster care.

"Come on, let's go to the apartment to book a flight back to Vegas." Sara takes his hand to walk back the partially lived in apartment that Grissom's mother owned in the 80s and now is in his name.
