Smash cut to police station interrogation room
Grissom and Warrick walked silently into the room. Warrick couldn't help but notice the total change in Jessie's appearance. She was curled up in a chair, her knees pulled up to her chest, she wore the same clothes but her face was the thing that changed the most. All the confidence left her face, the smile and the brightness were gone, she looked more and more like a frightened child than the beautiful young woman he mat earlier today.
"Jessie?" He said carefully as he sat down next to her "Do you remember me?"
She nodded and uncurled herself, regaining some of her former composure "Warrick Brown right?"
"Right, this is Gil Grissom" He indicated at Grissom who took a seat in front of them "we'd like to ask you some questions"
She nodded again and Grissom leaned in closer to her "Jessie would you like to take a walk? Get some fresh air?"
She lifted her head slightly and looked at him quizzically, then smiled "Yeah, I'd like that"
** Outside the police station
Warrick And Grissom paced slowly with Jessie between them, a uniformed cop walked a few paces behind them.
"Thank you, for this I mean" Jessie started after a few minutes "Police stations give me the creeps"
"I can imagine" Grissom said softly "We ran your prints Jessie. We know who you are, you're real name is Jessie Crawford isn't it?"
She nodded slightly and looked at Warrick "I guess it was stupid of me not to tell you earlier, I only gave you a lot of extra work"
"That's ok" Warrick smiled at her in return, trying to reassure her " We're used to it" She smiled back and continued walking
"Jessie, did Billy know who you were?" Grissom asked
"No, I never told him. I told him I was from Louisiana and that I was an only child. I told him I wasn't in touch with my parents anymore, but I never told him the truth. He was really a nice guy, I wasn't lying about that, but I never told anyone. No one in Vegas knows who I am, not even Billy"
"Jessie, the name Parker and your social security number, where did you get them?" Warrick asked her
"My mother' best friend, I'm her name sake. After." Her voice broke for a minute but she inhaled and continued "After my family was murdered, everything was so crazy, and even after that everyone kept looking at me funny" she lifted her eyes and glanced at the two men beside her "kind of like the way the two of you are looking at me right now"
"and how is that?" Warrick asked with half a smile
"Like you feel sorry for me. Like I'm about to fall apart every second, like you need to watch my every move. I just needed to get away, start over. I left Texas after two years, my mother's friend said I could use her name and social security number so I could start fresh, start over."
Suddenly Grissom's phone rang and Grissom excused himself for a minute

Nick came into the room and watched Catherine as she worked
"you found anything?" she asked, not lifting her eyes off the computer
"I got 4 people who were at Billy Meadows apartment at the last week"
"And?" Catherine lifted her head and watched Nick's face, the look on his face made her smirk "Don't you hate the way he's right all the time" She teased but Nick just smiled and shook his head
"I better call him and tell him"
And with that he left the room
** Out side the police station
Warrick and Jessie continued walking together in silence for a minute before Warrick broke it with another question "Jessie, we still need to know what made you try to skip town. What happened?"
"It was the picture wasn't it Jessie?" Grissom's voice came behind them as he joined them again.
Jessie nodded again, the frightened look came over her eyes again and Warrick felt a sudden urge to put his arm around her, to protect her in some way.
She nodded slowly "I'm not sure but I think I recognized the picture, from my house, from 8 years ago"
"Grissom man how did you know?" Warrick asked him, puzzled
"I asked Nick to find anyone who's been in Meadow's bedroom lately, nobody remembers there ever being a picture of a girl there" Grissom replied and then turned to Jessie "Jessie, I'm gonna need you to help us, I need you to go with Warrick to Billy's apartment and see if you recognize anything we need to know if the killer brought anything else with him"
He searched her eyes for a reply and then glanced at Warrick who gave him a nod of acknowledgment, then he turned away and left them.

Grissom entered the floor and stormed down the hall, Nick joined him matching his quick pace.
"So it's true? This guy kills her whole family and then finds her again and kills her ex?"
"Yes, looks like it" Grissom answered as they walked into the room where Catherine and Sarah were already waiting "Ok, listen up. Lets go over what we know." He took out a pen and drew one of the glass boards closer as everyone took their seats
"8 years ago the Crawford family was killed in their sleep. All except for the oldest daughter - Jessie. The killer is never found, two years later Jessie moves to Vegas. 6 years after that her ex boyfriend ends up dead in an ally. The boyfriend's killer puts a picture of Jessie in the bedroom taken from the Crawford's house 8 years ago."
"I found something else" Catherine added as she got up from her seat and took the pen from Grissom "I did a little research and found out that 2 month before the family was killed they started receiving weird mail. Love letters, black flowers, even a dead bird. The police looked into it but decided it was some high school kid prank. The letters were all addressed to Jessie"
"So we found the common link" Grissom stated somberly "the thing our killer is after - Jessie"
Grissom and Warrick walked silently into the room. Warrick couldn't help but notice the total change in Jessie's appearance.
