"Don't you touch me man!" the sixteen year old shouted as he tried to escape Tony Thorpe's tight grip "I didn't do nothing!"
"You tried to hurt me boy, Jamie, over there", he said angrily as he pushed Robert Scott up against the wall. Robert punched Tony viciously in his mid section and threw him back; Tony fell against the frame of a nearby bed, his head connecting with the metal, dazing him. Jamie watched the scene with wide eyes he began backing out of the room "stop it" he pleaded, when they ignored him he ran from the scene.
Robert watched the boy go then turned his attentions back to Tony "you ain't never gonna push me around again, Thorpe." Robert slowly advanced; he produced a blade from his back pocket.
Tony blinked a couple of times to try and wake himself up, he put a hand to his head and felt a wet patch, blood dripped onto his face. He stood on shaky legs and stared at his attacker, Robert raised his weapon hand in preparation to strike down the person before him "Rob, man, come on, don't be stupid" Tony was furious now. Robert didn't listen he brought the blade down, murder his intention, Tony grabbed his arm in mid air "I'm gonna kill you fool!"
They struggled for the weapon until they fell to the floor, neither of them moved, one of them in shock, the other dead.

"Can't this kid stay out of trouble?" Nick stood over the body taking photographs; Grissom looked around as he made his way to where Nick stood.
"Obviously not, though in this case he's claiming he's the victim."
Nick stopped taking the pictures and looked at his boss in disbelief at the update "your kidding."
Grissom shrugged slightly and shook his head in answer "that's what he said."
"Everything seems pretty straight forward…Thorpe murdered this poor kid with a weapon he cooked up all by himself" Nick knelt beside Robert and picked up the bloodied weapon, bagging it.
"Nick…" Grissom said as he surveyed the new crime scene "nothings ever that simple."
