Disclaimer: I do not own CSI

A/N: This is the second fic that I ever created, it came to me after reading about the Kaye Shelton case and I decided to write it after renting the CSI season one DVD and watching Sex, Lies and Larvae for the first time.

"I never told anyone about my family" Sara- Viva Las Vegas

"She was vulnerable. No social life. No Friends. Not even a cat." Sara- You've Got Male

Prologue: Leaving

I was finally leaving

All the sleepless nights, the overnight stays, the horrible bruises.

Were over.

No more hiding away, no more frightened little girl. No more tears.

I was leaving, going somewhere where I would be happy

I was leaving the past, the pain, and the bruises behind me.

My life was changing and no one could stop me, no one could scream at me, no one could hit me now.

No one will hurt me, no one will scream at me, and no one will break my bones now.

I was leaving and I will no longer have to hide behind my books, my experiments, my masks.

I was free.

Years later...

I had to get out.

I could not take living in San Francisco anymore.

I could not sleep, could not breath, it was like I was slowly being smothered like the many victims I had seen. I needed to go somewhere, go someplace where I did not feel his eyes on me, where I did not see his shadow lurking wherever I go.

He had called.

There had been a shooting, another CSI had been hurt, He needed me there, needed someone he could trust. Las Vegas was where I had to go. Las Vegas was where I would forget, Las Vegas was where I would not see him, Las Vegas was where I would get some sleep.

My bags were packed. My plane ticket in my hand. The cab was on its way.

I looked around the apartment I had had for a year one more time. I smiled, smiled because I was getting away from the bad memories that had plagued me for a year.

The Cab driver was honking his horn, It was now or never. I place my bags in the trunk and pulled my self into the cab. I told the driver to take me to the airport. The cab pulled away.

I never looked back.
