~CSI~
***Authors Note*** I have lost the document for chapter ten and since I haven't updated in a while I have forgotten what it was about so I'm starting Chapter eleven with a case and it may or may not have any relevance to chapter ten. I hope you enjoy.
It was a warm night with an occasional cool breeze. Most of the people in Vegas were at home or out having a good time with family and friends. Over at the football field Mandy, Katie, Emma and Taylor were playing a little flag football. Katie was on Mandy's team while the other two girls played against them. The play started off with Katie throwing the ball to Mandy. Mandy quickly caught it and began running down to the post line. As Katie cheered her on, both Emma and Taylor followed close behind. As Mandy kept running she tripped over something, flipped and cut herself with a knife that already had blood on it. Everyone ran over to her to see if she was alright. " Are you alright?" Taylor asked giving her a hand. Mandy grasped her own wrist as the knife had cut her there. Emma ran to get a cell and called 911 immediately
The CSI team approached the football field not knowing who was injured or the real reason why they were called down. Brass approached them and began to talk. " A girl was playing football with her friends then tripped and slit her wrists with a knife that was left on the field. The girl told the paramedics that the knife had dry blood on it." Grissom nodded and began walking toward the knife. Nick began looking at the surroundings.
" Were there other girls?" Nick asked Brass.
" Yeah, their parents picked them up." Nick nodded. Sara approached Nick.
" Nick do you think we could make a case with some one tripping over a thing and cutting themselves?" Nick looked at her.
" That's the problem. What thing did she trip over. I mean she couldn't have tripped over a root from a tree. There are no tree's here and even if there was for an example across the street, roots can't move through concrete." Everyone listened to what Nick said and Grissom found it interesting.
" He's got a point." Warrick replied looking around.
" I think will need shovels and a warrant." Catherine said also agreeing with Nick's statement.
" Good." Brass said. " I'll get a warrant and I'll have a few uniforms pick up shovels." Brass got on the phone and made a few calls. The warrant was being faxed to the mayor while the uniforms were on their way.
" Does someone want to talk to the girl?" Grissom asked as he was heading back to where the knife was placed. Nick volunteered with Sara and Warrick while Catherine followed Grissom. Nick, Sara and Warrick approached the ambulance to see a familiar face.
" Mandy!" Nick said in shock. " What are you doing here?" Mandy looked at Sara, then at Warrick then back at her father.
" Football remember, play game have fun. You said I could."
" I know I said I could but I mean what are you doing in the ambulance?"
" Getting stitches for playing football because someone forgot to put their bloody knife away. Literally." Both Catherine and Grissom saw Mandy and smiled. Although Nick was a little upset he was glad she wasn't hurt that badly. As questions were flying back and forth, brass interrupted. "Uh the shovels are here." The team headed toward the field then Grissom sighed.
" There's no way we can cover this whole field." Catherine looked at him.
" Well what are our options?" Grissom thought about it while the team stood around.
" What if we can do the play all over again. Catherine you stand over here where the knife was. Warrick, you throw the ball. Sara you take pictures of the point of impact. Nick and I will observe, Mandy we need you to do that play again if you don't mind." Mandy smiled .
" Alright I was standing right here waiting for the ball, Katie counted three steamboats before she threw the ball."
" Are you ready?" Warrick asked.
" Let's play ball."
