Note: Well, remember the criminal mentioned in the summary? He was caught for raping and killing. And Sara was the last victim before the guy was apprehended a year ago.
Chapter 1: When Things Get Nasty
Nick and Sara entered the conference room. Their supervisor, Gil Grissom hadn't arrived yet, but everybody else had. Each one was preoccupied with something or other.
Wes was sitting in his usual place,pencil in hand, solving a crossword puzzle. The lab technician, Greg Sanders, was flipping through a bridal magazine with a facinated look on his face.
Catherine Willows, however, was reading a thick novel and Warrick Brown was standing by the mini refridgerator, drinking coffee and staring around with a concentrating look on his face.
Catherine looked up when she heard the couple entering and said,"Hi guys!"
The other's looked up as well except Wes, who muttered,"Hi," without looking up from his puzzle.
Sara looked at Greg and asked,"Getting married?"
Greg scowled at her and said,"Har, har. I bet you never realised that these models are much better looking than the bikini ones? I mean, look at their complexion!!" he held up the magazine as if to emphazize the point.
Catherine grinned and said,"You should give that to Wes, he can use it to get a vague idea how Jen will look like in a wedding gown! That'll give you the confidence to propose to her, right Wes?"
Wes finally tore his eyes away from the puzzle and with a clueless look on his face, he asked,"Say what?" with his usual distinct British drawl.
Warrick chuckled. Apparently the younger CSI hadn't heard a single word they said, or even bothered.
Nick said,"You have to lay off the puzzles, you're starting to be like Grissom,"
"Ignorant to the social world, that's him," quipped Warrick.
Catherine glanced at the door and said,"Speak of the devil...."
Gil Grissom walked into the room carrying the usual file of assignments.
He pulled out a couple of papers from the file and said,"Ok people, social hour over. We have two female dead bodies today, Helen Gibson and Rhonda Stevens. Wes, Sara, Warrick, take Gibson, a blind alley behind The Luxor,"
"Sheesh, did the murderers make pacts to kill in the same spot? That's the sixth blind alley body in a week," commented Warrick.
Grissom ignored the comment and continued,"Nick, Catherine and I, Stevens, abandoned house, Henchman Road. Greg, lab,"
Greg sighed and asked,"When will I ever be able to go in the field?"
After a moment's silence, it became clear that Grissom wasn't about to answer that either, so Greg walked out of the room.
Wes let out a sarcastic,"Yippie...." and snatched the assignment paper from Grissom.
Grissom said,"Detective Jen Scotts will be on the same case as you...."
Wes suddenly grinned and said,"My day just got brighter!"
Sara entered the research room to see Wes already there, processing DNA found at the crime scene earlier.
She had just finished processing fingerprints while Wes went to the morgue.
Wes looked up and said,"Oh hey, just got a report from Doc, um, the victim, Helen Gibson, she was raped before killed. Doc. Robbins did a test, and found some semen, and there were signs of struggle. However, I ran the semen DNA through AFIS, nothing came up,"
Sara felt her heart leap. She appreciated the fact that Wes was being careful with his words, but the old nightmare was creeping back. That horrible day where everything went wrong.
Sara tried to keep a calm face while nodding. Wes looked at Sara, his face masked with concern, then he said,"Sara, if you don't want to handle this case, I will more than understand,"
Sara shook her head and said,"It's ok, Wes, it's been a long time, I can do this,"
Suddenly, Catherine came in and said,"Hey, my case was a rape, kill and run, what's you.... Sara!" she suddenly gasped.
After an awkward silence, Catherine cleared her throat and mumbled,"Sorry..."
Sara shook her head and said,"It's ok, Cath. Don't worry about it,"
Greg came in and said,"Hey guys, Doc. Robbins just finished writing the report for Helen Gibson. He wants one of you to go over to the morgue,"
Wes looked up and said,"Oh, I'm kind of busy at the moment," while glancing at the DNA samples in front of him.
Sara said,"It's ok, I'll go," she turned to leave when Gil came in and said sternly, "Sara, I want you off this case,"
Sara stared at her supervisor and said,"What?!"
Gil replied,"You heard me, this case will have too much of a personal effect on you..."
Sara shook her head and said,"I don't care Grissom, I'm over the incident, it happened a year ago,"
Grissom frowned and said,"I'm worried of your own safety, and you might compromise the case. Sara, please,"
Sara felt extreamly annoyed that Grissom was treating her like a child. She said loudly," I don't care Grissom. I can do whatever I want, whenever I WANT!" and she stormed out of the room, leaving everyone else in stunned silence.
Greg let out a low whistle. Grissom shook his head and walked out of the room. Wes raised his eyebrows and said,"I guess I'll be getting that report then," and went back to his work.
The rest of the squad glanced around and got out as well. This is going to be a long day.
