"We are sorry to detain you here for so long Mr. Kurt." Grissom said sitting down at the table across from Erik.

"You guys need some decorations in here or something. A painting, some potted plants…." Erik said looking around the bland room.

"I'll be sure to tell the sheriff about that." Grissom said not amused at all. Brass snickered.

"Mr. Kurt, we want to ask you about your firearm." Brass said stepping into the middle of the room and leaning on the table.

"But it's not mine." He stated sternly.

"Oh, right. Mr. Kurt, we want to ask you some questions about your dad's firearm."

"What about it?" Erik asked shifting uncomfortably in his chair.

"How about, why did you have it at 76 East Hamos? Could we start there? We both already know why you were at the house anyway." Brass said with a smirk. "We're you all going to have a party?"

"It's called a 'rave' sir." Erik corrected him. Brass and Grissom exchanged looks.

"Right, so Mr. Kurt, why did you bring your dad's firearm to the rave?"

"I didn't" Erik said, and Brass was just about to start jumping up and down screaming at the kid for trying to ask so naive, when he went on, "Josh brought it."

"Josh brought it?" Grissom asked leaning over to get a better look at Erik in the dimly lit room.

"Yup. Called me up about two days ago, told me to meet him at the house, and to bring my gun. I said sure. He showed up at my house yesterday morning, and asked to take the gun himself. I didn't object."

"This could be a pre-meditated murder." Brass whispered to Grissom.

Grissom turned back to Erik, "So, You and Josh…."

"Don't forget Luke!" Erik exclaimed.

"So you, Josh and Erik all go to the house. Right? What happens there? Did a fight break out?"

"Yup."

"Yup? Do you want to get a little more specific?" Brass asked, tension mounting on his voice.

"I don't know, I was downstairs. I head something break, and then some more stuff break, and then footsteps going upstairs. A few minutes later, a loud bang, and then Luke went to go see what was happening."

'The whole time you were in the basement?"

"Yup." Erik replied looking pleased with himself for supplying this information. "Uh, then, Luke came back down, and told me that he was going to head out. I followed him, and he dropped me off at my dorm, and then I think he said he was heading over to the baseball field."

"Did you see Josh or Hennery while you were at the house?" Grissom asked, hoping that Erik had seen more.

"Hennery? Who's Hennery? Oh, you mean the wire guy? Nah, I don't think he was with us that day. And Josh? Oh, he was taking a nap."

"A nap?" Brass asked, trying really hard not to laugh.

"Yah, a nap on the floor. I saw him when we left. I don't know why though, there was a lot of broken stuff around him, but Luke told me it was time to go."

Brass and Grissom turned away from Erik, "It looks like they had this whole thing worked out." Brass mumbled trying not to be over heard by Erik.

"Mr. Kurt, do you know the alarm code for the house that you were in?" Grissom asked.

"Nope. Only Luke does. And I think that Hennery guy. He set the whole thing up for us. Did you see it? Isn't the floor great?" Erik asked excitedly.

"No, I haven't, but I'll take your word for it." Grissom said standing up. "Thank you very much Mr. Kurt. You are free to go."

"What about Luke?" he asked pushing his chair underneath the table.

"We'll have to see about that." Brass said shutting the door behind him.

"If you're no going to talk, I am." Catherine stated sitting down at the table. Nick then entered the room and nodded to Catherine, who the looked towards the one way glass. Grissom was behind there with Jenny and they were going to confirm whatever Luke said, that is if they got him to talk.

"Ok Luke," Nick said joining Catherine at the table. "You and Josh are buddies, right? So you try and think up a way to make some extra dough. Someone comes up with the idea for a rave, and it sounds great. And trust me, when I saw it, it looked killer man."

"So, you and Josh think up this whole plan – because Erik is too thick to think for himself and had no idea about half of the stuff going on. Does he know about the drugs? I don't think he does."

"The two of you find this house in a quiet neighborhood where no one would think to look, and then you start making plans. You hire Hennery O'Malley to do all of the electrical work for you, like disco lights and alarm systems."

"The whole thing is working great. Somehow you are getting loads of money to do all of this, and loads of drugs too. So just to let you know, you will be brought up on possession charges also." Catherine added with a little smile.

"Everything whet according to plans, until yesterday." Nick said and took one of the case folders from the table. "Yesterday, two people were shot in that house, and both of them are now dead. Now, you could be charged with one, or two murders. Anything you want to say?"

Luke took a deep breath, and finally blinked his eyes. "Josh was wack man."

"How so?" Nick asked.

"Drugs. He needed them like flowers need sunlight. Coach was getting all of us steroids and such, but he wanted more. He found someone to get him ecstasy. He thought it would be great for the rave, you know? Bring in a whole lot more business."

"So what happened?" Catherine asked, glancing at the mirror. She could only hope that everyone was listening to their conversation.

"Hennery found them at the house and Josh flipped out. He threatened Hennery and told him not to tell a soul. I'm not sure if he did or not, but Josh wasn't going to take any chances. He called Hennery up and asked him to come over to the house. I head the entire conversation. Josh said that we didn't need him for any more work, and that Josh would pay him in full. I knew what Josh was going to do, but he didn't have a gun or anything. I didn't think his plan would actually work."

"Did it?"

"Sorta, Josh got Erik's gun without me knowing, and we all showed up at the house yesterday afternoon. Erik and I went downstairs to clean the place up – it was supposed to be our first last night. We were only down there for about a half hour, and then I heard a bunch of stuff being thrown and then footsteps moving upstairs. Moments later I head the first gunshot and then nothing. Erik was too stupid to realize what was going on, so I headed up stairs.

"Before I even made it up I heard another shot. When I made it into the other room, Hennery was lying flat on his back and Josh was standing over him. I dove at Josh, who fired at me. I got lucky and ducked and grabbed Josh's legs. The gun fell. Before he had time to react, I grabbed the gun. I was just going to scare him, but he lunged at me and I shot him."

Catherine and Nick stated at Luke. What he was saying made sense, and most of it could be confirmed with evidence, but that was Grissom's job, they were just trying to get a confession.  "What did you do next?" Nick finally said breaking the silence that had over come the room.

"I panicked. Josh was conscious, but Hennery wasn't. I think Josh had smacked him hard or something. I got Josh a towel from the bathroom so he could try and stop the bleeding. The towel did a pretty good job, and he tied it around his stomach. We then wrapped Hennery up in the plastic that was on the floor and took him downstairs. That's when Josh collapsed on the floor. I left him there and took Hennery out to my car. I came back in and Josh now wasn't conscious. Erik and I left, but before we did I set the alarm. I though it would keep Josh in there until I came back to get him later. Turns out it didn't work." Luke looked down and began to wring his hands.

"Why didn't you call the police, an ambulance?" Catherine asked feeling sorry for the guy, "Something could have been done to save both of their lives."

"I panicked, ok?" Luke said, anger rising in his voice.

"Luke, we have your fingerprints from the baseball case over in the field that supports the theory that you dumped Hennery there. Did you know that he was still alive?"

Luke looked down at the ground, "Yah." He mumbled.

"Why didn't you do something?"

"I didn't want to get in trouble! And when I ever say Josh in that game, I freaked. I thought that he was going to tell someone what had happened, and then blamed the whole thing on me. I had hid the body, not him." Luke paused for a sec. "You know the drugs were in the balls."

Nick nodded his head, "Yah, I found them all over in the storage closet. All the drugs were gone though."

"Figures. The ball that was used in the game had drugs in it you know. I tired to get down there after he fell to get the ball and the drugs, but it looks like someone beat me to it." Luke shrugged and pushed back in his chair and stood up. "Arrest me, just get it over with." He said holding out his hands. "I've only planned a rave, killed someone, hid a body, and let millions of dollars worth of drugs get away." He looked down at the floor realizing that his life as he knew it was over. 

Catherine looked over towards the glass. Moments later an officer came in and handcuffed Luke. He led him outside into the hallway. Jenny stood there staring at him as he walked out. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then Luke turned away, but Jenny did not. She stared at him as the officer led him down the hallway and around the corner. Then she turned and walked the other way.

(Hopefully that made sense to you all. Man, confessions are hard….)
