Grissom took Greg aside, and Brass followed them.
-"You know them", Grissom said.
Greg nodded, looking at the scene. He looked back at Grissom and Brass.
-"Yeah, from high school. I haven't seen them since then."
-"What can you tell us about them?", Brass asked.
-"Her name is...was Jane, Jane Carter. She was a cheerleader. We dated but it didn't work." He smiled slightly. " Her dad was nuts. I remember the time when he caught us kissing in her bedroom and chased me with a knive until I reached home."
-"A cheerleader? Very flexible,uh?", Brass joked. Grissom looked at him sharply.
-"Sorry." He cleared his throat. " And him?"
-"Mike Edwards. This guy was a complete jerk. You know captain of the football team, Mr Popularity,... He started dating Jane in our last year, I can't believe they were still together."
Brass took a notebook from his jacket.
-"What can you tell me about the others?", he read his notes. "Peter Sandler, Steve Torres, Rachel Fox and...Grace Peters."
-"Peter was on the football team with Mike, another jerk. And Rachel...well, she was Jane's best friend. She hated me. She thought I wasn't good enough for her friend", he replied sadly. And when he saw that Grissom was looking at him added. "I don't know the others."
Brass nodded as he wrote down some notes.
-"Ok Greg, thanks. Gil, if you find something call me. I have to talk to the victims' friends."
Brass left, and Grissom turned to Greg.
-"Greg, if you don't want to work on this case..."
-"No, it's ok," he said."As long as you don't ask me to go into that tent."
-"You sure?"
-"Yeah."
Thet went back to the scene, Greg keeping his distance from the bodies.
-"Ok, Nick, Warrick, what do you think?"
The Texan spoke first.
-"This place is a mess, they fought."
-"And they were in their underwear," Warrick added, "and I don't think they were exactly sleeping. So I think they were caught off their guard."
-"Puncture wounds," Nick said.
Grissom nodded.
-"Ok, Greg and Nick, check the surroundings for anything: footprints, blood, fibers,... anything. Warrick, help me with the bodies. Take the camera."
***FLASHBACK***
1992, Gabrielino High, San Gabriel, California.
In the outside a 17 years old boy was leaning on the wall, besides the entrance, book in hand. He was looking around nervously. He was waiting for somebody. His long messy hair covered his eyes. He was wearing a lime green Hawaiian shirt and black pants that were too big for his skinny body.
Then a group of girls emerged from the door, laughing and talking.
He saw them and smiled. One of the girls, the one with the long black hair, saw him and smiled too.
-"I just remembered that I have homework to do," she told her friends. "See you later."
They started leaving but one of them stayed.
-"Jane, don't do this. Just look at him! You can have something better."
-"I'll see you tomorrow Rachel."
Rachel looked disgusted at the boy, and he merely smiled happily at her and waved. She left, furious.
-"Greg, I'm sorry. She's not that bad..."
-"It's ok. I don't care what she thinks, I just care about you."
He moved to kiss her but she stopped him.
-"Not here."
Then they heard voices coming from the building.
-"We have to go," she said.
-"What?"
Too late, a group of football players appeared.
-"Hey Jane," one of them said, "when are you going to give me a chance, honey?"
-"When you stop calling me that," she replied.
Then they noticed Greg for the first time.
-"What are you doing with this nerd?", the bigger one said, pushing Greg and making him fall to the floor.
He quickly stood up, and bravely walked over to them. Jane stopped him.
-"Mike, leave him alone, ok?"
-"Please, don't tell me that you prefer...him."
Jane looked at Greg, who was looking at her confidently, and then at Mike.
-"No...he was just helping me with my homework. That's all." She laughed nervously. "do you really think I could go out with someone like him?"
Greg couldn't believe what he was hearing. He loved her, and he thought it was mutual. He felt betrayed.
-"Do you want to go bowling?", Mike asked, wrapping his arm around Jane's shoulders.
-"Sure." She looked back at Greg one more time and then they left.
