(AN: I know CSI is in Las Vegas, but for now, I'm changing it to Philadelphia, ok? I thought so!)

Kendall glanced over at the alarm clock. It was five-thirty in the morning. Another horrid day of school, about to begin. Oh, how she longed for summer vacation. But, it was her senior year. She was almost done. Then it was off with Cory, Shawn, Christina and Topanga to Pennbrook to join Eric, Jack and Sapphire. She looked forward to that tremendously. She slid out of bed, and toward the bathroom, only to find her father was in there. "Hurry up, dad...I need to get ready for school!"

"Ok, sorry, hun..." Gil Grissom hollered through the door to Kendall. "I'm leaving for work in a few minutes..." he stated, opening the door.

"Oh, ok..." Kendall's brain suddenly turned on. "So, dad...found out anything about the Stuart Minkus case, yet?"

"Kendall, hun...you know I can't share anything with you...especially since you went to school with him..." Gil kissed his daughter's forehead. "Rumors would be flying!"

"Fine..." Kendall griped. 'I'll just have to find out on my own...Sapph and Chris will help me!' she thought, going into the bathroom. "Ugh, dad! It's called air freshener!"

"Sorry, hun..." Gil laughed, grabbing a piece of toast on his way to the door. "I'll remember that next time...see you tonight..."

"Bye, dad..." Kendall yelled down the stairs. "I'll check for evidence files after I take a shower and get dressed..." she told herself.

~~

After she had changed, Kendall walked into her father's room, and started rummaging through his work files. "E. Miller, O. Milles...S. Milles, AH...here we go...S. Minkus..." she pulled out the file, but then looked at the clock, and saw that she was already late for school. She shoved the file into her backpack, and ran to her car.

~~

"Hey guys!" Kendall ran over to Shawn Hunter, one of her closest friends, and Christina. "Guess what I have?"

"No life?" Christina asked.

"A very large head?" Shawn grinned. He had always had a thing for Kendall, he just had yet to mention it to anyone. He had known her since she was five, when he threw a worm in her hair, and she kicked him in the kneecap.

"Are you getting married?" Christina jumped up and down.

"I think my head is very average sized, thank you, Shawn, and yes, Christina I DO have a life, and I'm NOT getting married!" Kendall put a hand on her hip. "Maybe, just for that, I won't show you..." she stuck her tongue out.

"Oh, come on, Kendall! Don't leave us hanging!" Shawn flashed a grin that had always had the ability to make Kendall melt.

"I'll show you guys later...I think Sapph will wanna see it too..." Kendall walked away, and toward Mr. Feeny's history class.

"See ya later, Christina..." he looked at Christina, who was headed toward Cory and Topanga. "Hey, Kendall, wait up!" he ran to catch up to her.

"What's up?" Kendall looked back at Shawn.

"What is it that you have, that you don't want to show us yet?" Shawn asked.

"If I didn't want to show you ten seconds ago, what makes you think I'll wanna show you now?" she asked, winking.

"Because I'm special?" Shawn winked back.

"No you're not!" Kendall joked. "I'll show you later, ok?"

"Ok, ok..." Shawn whined. "But I'm not gonna be all too excited!"

"Believe me, you will..." Kendall nodded.

~~

Shawn, Kendall, Sapphire, Christina, Cory, Topanga and a couple other friends, Eric Matthews (Eric was Cory's brother, and Sapphire's boyfriend. Eric and Kendall had once dated, but that ended on a very friendly note. They decided together that it was going to ruin their friendship, and went their separate ways.) and Jack Hunter (who was Shawn's brother, and Christina's boyfriend.), were all gathered at Kendall's house.

"So, what's the big thing that we all had to be here for?" Topanga asked.

"Who here wants to play detective with me?" Kendall inquired, with a grin.

"Detective? What?" Sapphire was taken aback.

"After all your 'I'm not like my dad' speeches, you wanna play detective?" Christina snickered.

"Oh, irony of all ironies..." Shawn chuckled.

"It doesn't surprise me..." Eric laughed. "I've always known she was supposed to be in Mystery Inc. with Scooby Doo and stuff..." he was his normal Eric self.

Kendall rolled her eyes. "Are you all done yet?"

"We haven't gotten a turn!" Cory referred to himself and Jack. "Maybe that means...uh..."

"Cory...there are really no jokes left..." Jack shook his head.

"Ok, NOW are we all done?" Kendall asked.

"Yes, Kendall, go ahead..." Sapphire pulled her hair into a ponytail.

"Here's the deal..." Kendall sat in her chair, and turned off the TV.

"Hey!" Cory whined. "I was watching that!"

"Shut up..." Topanga elbowed Cory. "Let her talk!"

"Fine!" Cory paid attention to Kendall.

"Ok, I'm gonna investigate the Minkus murder..." Kendall started, but again she was interrupted.

"Minkus murder? That's kinda catchy..." Jack laughed.

"Shut UP!" Christina smacked Jack. "You sound morbid!"

"OK! Let me TALK!" Kendall shouted. "I'm gonna investigate the STUART murder, and I'm gonna need some help...who's with me...?"

Cory, Topanga, Christina and Jack went silent.

"Awesome! I'll help!" Shawn nodded.

"That seemed a little too eager..." Sapphire laughed at Shawn's enthusiasm. "I'll help...you know I will."

"Me too!" Eric grinned. "It'll be like Mystery Inc.! I can be Shaggy...we need a dog though..."

"Eric...breathe...what about you guys?" Kendall shifted her attention to the others.

"Uh...I don't know, Kendall..." Christina shook her head. "I see how much trouble...ah, who am I kidding? Of course I will!"

"I guess I will, too..." Jack nodded.

"Great!" Kendall grinned. "What about you guys?" she asked Cory and Topanga.

"Um...no thanks...this whole CSI thing is not for us..." Cory spoke for them both. "Right, honey?"

"Exactly..." Topanga nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry, Kendall. I mean, if it wasn't so dangerous..."

"Oh, don't worry, I understand totally!" Kendall nodded back in understanding. "I didn't want to at first, but I figured dad might need a bit of extra help...the department has been moving a little slow lately..." she pushed some of her blonde hair from her face.

Topanga was relieved. She didn't want to get into any danger, and nor did she want Cory to. "Maybe we should get going then?" she asked.

"It's probably a good idea..." Kendall said softly, not wanting to offend a friend.
