Smash cut to Billy Meadows apartment
Warrick and Jessie stood silently outside the apartment "You know you don't have to do this" Warrick said quietly "We can do this from picture"
"No I'm fine" She smiled trying to put on a brave face and again Warrick found himself admiring her courage "you'll be with me right?"
"All the way" he assured her as he reached for the doorknob. He froze when he felt her hand grab his, the touch sent shivers down his spine and he looked back at her in surprise.
"I'm sorry, got a little nervous" she apologized and quickly let go.
"No it's ok" he said and reached back for her hand, holding it tightly.
He opened the door and they were immediately hit by the smell of dried blood "try breathing through your nose" he told Jessie who turned visibly pale.
They walked into the apartment and stood in the middle of the room and Jessie stared at the large blood stain ""Is this where Billy was killed?" her voice was only slightly above a whisper
"don't worry about that" Warrick squeezed her hand reassuringly "Just look around and tell me if you recognize anything"

"Ok guys we need to start from scratch. This is a whole new case now. We're not trying to find a killer anymore, we're trying to protect a very living person" Grissom said, pulling a new glass board
"yeah, a live person who's seen way to much death for her short life" Catherine stated, her maternal instincts kicking in.
"I want us to go over anything they have from the Crawford house. We go back to square one" he took out Jessie's picture from his file and glued it to the glass board "I want everything we have her on the board and I want it fast"
"What's the rush?" Sarah asked from her place at the table "I mean the guy waited for 8 years before he struck again, what makes you think he's gonna make another move so soon?"
"two reasons Sarah: One, he struck again after 8 years, which means something sprung him into action again and I wanna know what Second reason: he's in Vegas"
"how do you know that?" Catherine asked
"Because she's here" Grissom replied indicating Jessie's picture "and where ever she is, he's gonna be close by. Catherine you're with me, we're going to go over the Crawford case. Nick you and Sarah go over the Meadows case, find anything you can about it, anything that might help us out"
They all nodded and got up to leave the room in their different directions. Grissom and Catherine walked over to the other room where Catherine had already started working
"So what have you got so far?"
"Well" Catherine started "I got all the files and reports from the Texas police, the evidence is being shipped over, it's gonna be here tomorrow. So far we know this - the father was the first to be killed. He was downstairs in the study, working late. 7 stab wounds to the chest, according to the forensic report he put up quite a fight. Defensive wounds all over the place. The mother was next, she was in bed in the bedroom, her throat was sliced. Next were the kids first the boy then the girl."
Right then one of the technicians walked into the room and handed Catherine a fax
"I asked them to send me the floor plan of the Crawford home" She explained as she hung the page on a board. Grissom moved closer took a closer look at the floor plan
"he had to pass Jessica's room in order to get to the other kids" He noted
"Well that fits with the theory that he wasn't trying to kill her" she replied
"He's a stalker, he has a thing for the girl. Love, hate whatever it is. He's ten inches away from her and he never snuck in to say hello?"
"You think he was in her room while she was sleeping?" She saw the look come across Grissom's face, the look that said that he might have just found the clue that would solve the whole case "I'll check if there was something found in her room"
