Alison walked around the museum taking pictures of evidence. A woman had been found dead with flesh-eating bugs covering her. Mac had put Lindsay on the bugs, so that left her to take the pictures. She heard a noise behind her. Turning, she scanned the room. There was no sight of anyone. She turned back to Lindsay.

"So, did someone already comment on you and the bugs." Lindsay smiled up at her, collecting one the bugs trying to getaway.

"Mac did so you don't have to." Alison took another picture. Lindsay ate a bug the other day, and everyone was giving her a hard time about it.

"I wasn't going to. If you don't like it, just try not to react to much it will only feed the fire." Lindsay stood up, motioning for the ME to move the body.

"I don't mind the jokes; I rather that then the hazing." Alison shrugged her shoulders.

"True, but remember that I had nothing to do with the last one." Lindsay pulled off her gloves.

"Please, that Ink on my microscope had your name all over It. Greg is just lucky that he didn't have that much to deal with since I was brought on shortly after he was." Alison picked up the camera.

"True that didn't help, Sheldon."

Alison walked into the hospital. Her headphone in her ear as she walked. Mac had found a kid at the museum, and from the bug found in his pocket, it looked like he might have been near the body. Rounding the corner, she spotted Mac. A man and a woman were standing there and from the looks of it yelling at him for something. Pulling out her phone, she spotted a message from Lindsay. She was waiting for the bugs to finish up while Stella looked into the possible murder weapon. The two people stormed past her, and she walked over to Mac.

"Thanks for coming. I have to stay with the boy, and I wanted to get this do as soon as possible." He said to her.

"No problem, which was that." She said, keeping her headphones in but turning the music down.

"The Vic's sister." Alison nodded.

"How did they know to find you here." She glanced at the small hospital bed where the boy was lying.

"I don't know, but I plan to find out." Mac walked into the room to explain to the child what she was going to do. Alison turned the music back up, bouncing on her toes. He stuck her hand in her pocket, taking a deep breath. Mac turned pack, gesturing her into the room. Pulling her headphones out, she walks in, smiling at the child.

"Hi, my name is Alison." The boy gave her a small smile. "I'm going to take a few samples." He nodded and she pulled out the two containers. Alison was quick getting his DNA and a sample of the blood on his cheek. "Alright, all done." She stood back up, packing her things up, grabbing her headphones.

"Thanks, Alison, let me know what you find out."

Alison worked in the lab, looking over the dollar bill. Mac's kid eyewitness had gotten it from the killer. The killer had given it to him in an attempt to get him out of his hiding place. Alison had to get everything she could from it. She stood up, straightening her back she let out a deep breath as the pain slowly took over. There was a knock on the door.

"Is it giving you problems again." She looked up, finding Mac standing at the door. Alison ripped her gloves off, grabbed a file walking over to him.

"Nothing that I can't handle. Here is the information on the bill you pulled out of the vending machine. The bloody fingerprint is to the boy's biological father. Looks like he might be the killer." Mac shook his head.

"We're going to get him."

Alison sat down at the family dinner table, her mind lost in thought.

"Pass the rolls." Danny said to her. She didn't hear him. She was listening to the small kid. His life had been changed because of his father. His father had killed his aunt in an effort to get him back. Mac was going to make sure that his adoptive parents would keep him, but it was never that easy. "Earth to Al." Nicky elbowed her in the side, trying to get her attention. The movement, however, set pain shooting up her side. She hid her gasp of pain by couching. Linda and Frank watched her.

"Sorry, what." She said.

"Danny wanted the rolls. You alright." Frank asked her. She passed the rolls down, giving a small nod.

"You picked up that museum case, didn't you." Erin called down the table to her. "I heard you got the guy." Alison pushed her food around.

"Yeah, Mac and Lindsay did most of the work." Erin looked down the table so she could see her.

"I heard that the Vic's body was in bad shape." Danny said, looking at her.

"Yeah, but we got the guy that's all that matters." Danny shook his head.

"Flack said that Mac was really involved with this one." Alison looked over at that.

"Mac just wanted to get this guy. He had a connection with the kid." Linda shook her head.

"I can't imagine what he went through." Alison glanced over at Sydney; her face was pale.

"He has good adoptive parents. They'll help him." Frank raised his glass.

"Family can get you through anything." Sydney said. Everyone looked over at Alison. She took a deep breath.

"That it can." She dropped her hands into her hands, doing her best to stop her hands from shaking.
