OK, here's the latest. Sorry it has been a few days, but I have been busy. So, this one is a little longer and has more of the science we all love! Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Damn, there are no useable prints on this gun. Catherine muttered to Warrick, But Greg did get some sweat from it. He is checking to see if there is any salvageable DNA in it.
Warrick groaned. If there is, you know what kind of headache that is going to be?? Did you notice how many suspects there were?
With that, Catherine's beeper went off. It read Thank you Ms. Franklin. Greg was a nut.



Sara walked up to the nurses station in ICU at Desert Palms Hospital. Hi. My name is Sara Sidle. I'm a Criminalist with the LVPD. I need to know what room Cate Farrell is in and if I can see her.
The nurse was silent, she just typed on her computer. After a few moments, Sara started to wonder if she had paid her any attention.
Yes, well she's in room 725. I'm not sure if she is awake, but you can go check if you'd like.
Sara hated people like that. The woman hadn't even looked at her. Seeing the room she was looking for, she pushed her frustration aside and knocked on the door.


Hey Greggo. I believe you paged me....something about Ms. Franklin? I'm not sure if I should even ask. Catherine said as she walked into the lab with Warrick.
Oh, that. Well, everyone credits the discovery of the structure of DNA to Watson and Crick, but in actuality, with out Rosalind Franklin, who did X-ray crystallography, they'd have never figured it out. He had a huge grin on his face.
So, I guess that means you found DNA. Catherine was also smiling, Greg never ceased to amaze her with the trivia he knew.
Yep. AN X and a Y. Now just get me someone to compare it to.

Warrick and Catherine hopped in a Tahoe with boxes and boxes of swabs, and headed for the school. They had their work cut out for them.
Well, at least we only have to get samples from the males, Catherine said, in an attempt to lift the scowl from Warrick's face.
Man! That's still a whole lot of people! This is going to take forever!! Catherine knew he was just mad because he often had to do the tedious things that took a long time.


Come in. Sara heard a male voice say.
Hi. I'm Sara Sidle, a forensic scientist.
I'm Connor Farrell, Cate's husband. He looked devastated. They said she was doing pretty well, but she hasn't woken up yet. Sara was afraid he was going to cry, she wasn't sure how to approach him.
Mister Farrell,
Call me Connor, please.
Connor, we have reason to believe that Cate may have been the target in this. Do you know if there is anyone who'd want to hurt her? She was being as gentle as she knew how to be.
Absolutely not. Everyone loves Cate. She was teacher if the year last year. He co workers and students adore her. I just don't understand.
There was a knock on the door and a young woman walked in with two little girls. I thought maybe Lilah and Riley might get her to wake up, She said. She hadn't noticed Sara before this, and when she did, she shied away. Oh! I'm sorry, I'll come back in a second. Before Sara could say anything, she was gone.
My sister. Those are our girls, our twins. God, I don't know what we'll do if we lose her. He started to cry.
Not knowing what to do, Sara just said, Don't worry, we are going to find out who did this to her.


Back at the school, Catherine, Warrick, Grissom, and Nick had finally finished getting DNA samples from all the males. They were finishing packing up all of the swabs to take to Greg When Sara pulled up.
Well, I talked to Cate's husband. He said there was no way anyone would want to harm her, but I think we need to talk to some of the teachers who knew her well, check out any reports that may have been filed, and search her room. Maybe we can find some answers.

Grissom and Catherine stayed with Sara to check those venues, while Warrick and Nick took the samples back to Greg to be analyzed. Even though they had been at it for the day shift and some of their shift, none of them could stop now.
