ps: please give me some feedback... and no flames please.... I need some good reviews for me to continue this!
This sun was blaring down on the Nevada desert. Nick Stokes squinted as he stepped out of the Tahoe. He walked towards the crowd of police with Catherine in tow.
"So, what do we have?" Catherine asked Brass, who was always on the scene before they arrived.
"Female DB. Looks to be around 10 years old. God, I hate cases like this," Brass said.
"I know. Poor kid," Catherine replied," Well, let's start processing." She crouched down next to the body and brushed a strand of hair away from the girls face.
"Cath..." Nick warned, knowing that this girl reminded her of Lindsay.
"I know... I'll be alright. Sorry." Cath snapped on the latex gloves, as did Nick, and they began their investigation.
" All right... let's see... severe lacerations around her arms and legs.... self-mutilation? Some of these are old" Nick stated.
"Maybe, or maybe not. This was definately a murder. Strangulation marks around her neck... " Cath said, tilting the girls neck to one side.
"Yea, but could it have been suicide?"
"I don't think so... most sucides are done by other methods. Strangulations are harder to do on yourself."
"And you know this how??" Nick said.
"I do read..." Cath laughed. She stood up and walked a few feet away.
"Where are you going??" Nick called after her.
"I'm going to call Doc Robbins. Tell him to send someone to collect the body." Cath yelled back, then returned to her cell phone.
"OK!" Nick called, then went back to the body.
"Nick? Nick Stokes? Is that you?" a young woman called out to him. Nick turned around to greet her.
"Calliegh Jones.... my, my, my.... how you've grown..." Nick teased," But seriously, how've you been? What are you doing in Las Vegas? I thought you were still in Texas."
"I'm fine... and I'm here in Las Vegas because I work here. I left Texas about a year after you did. It wasn't the same with out you." Calliegh said as she walked up to him and placed her hand on his chest. "I really did miss you."
"I'm sorry. But you have to know that I didn't leave because of anything you did. You know that, right?" Nick tilted his head to the side and smiled slightly.
"Then, why did you leave? We were such a good team. Everyone always said " Jones and Stokes, they'll be together till the end" but we weren't. What happened Nick?"
" I can't explain."
"Can't or Won't?"
"Look... there were just too many bad memories and too many times that I got you in trouble and you ended up hurt. I couldn't stay there anymore. I only stayed there for as long as I did beacause you made it bearable." Nick's eyes glistened with unshed tears, threatning to spill over.
"Nick... " Calliegh puts her arms around Nick and brought him into a warm hug, rubbing his back.
"Thanks Calliegh." Nick pulled out of her arms and turned to see Catherine walking towards them. "Hey Cath! I want you to meet someone."
"Sure..."
"Calliegh, this is Catherine Willows. She's a CSI and she works with me." Nick said. " and Cath, this is Calliegh Jones. She's a detective. We used to be partners back in Texas."
"Nice to meet you Catherine." Calleigh greeted as she shook her hand.
"You too." Cath replied. "So, are you working on this case too?"
"Apparrantly so. I'm just surprised that I haven't seen you guys around during the day."
"Well, that would be because we're on the graveyard shift." Nick chuckled. " C'mon, let's go back to the lab." The three of them climbed in to the Tahoe and headed back to headquarters.
