Horatio walked over to Alexx. Her prelim was complete and she had determined that COD was the gunshot wound through the right temple. She also concluded that it was not elf-infliced, although very close to looking so.

"Hey Alexx, what can you tell me?"

"I don't know if this guy deserved it of not, but he was tortured. I counted over fifty knife wounds to his upper chest. Not a lot of room for that many cuts but someone was determined. Someone wanted him to suffer. That's all he has to say."

"Thank you Alexx."

Back at CSI Calleigh was checking up on finger prints and working with ballistics to determine if this gun was in fact the murder weapon.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

A shot rang through the insulated room. Calleigh pulled the bullet from the water and went to compare it with the bullet that had been taken out of Conrad Ecklie's head.

"It's a match. Yes. I am one step closer."

Just when she thought her day couldn't get any better, the computer began to beep, indicating a match on the print she recovered from the gun.

"H, I found it!"

"Found what?"

"I matched the bullet from the gun to the bullet from the vic, then I matched a print from the gun and the crime scene to a certain Sofia Curtis."

"Mrs. Curtis, what were you doing at the victims home?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"We found a gun under his bed. We also found your prints on the gun."

"Fuck! I knew I should have taken it home with me."

"What was that?"

"I loved him, and what did he do to me? He demoted me. He FUCKING demoted me! I worked my ass off for him, he couldn't even bring himself to tell me he loved me after we had sex."

"Mrs. Curtis you are hereby being charged with the murder of Conrad Ecklie."

As her Miranda rights were being read to her Sara and Gil watched from the observation room.

"I can't believe she did it. I welcomed her into our home, with our kids."

"Sara, thank you."

"For what?"

"For being patient with me. I'm glad that you didn't hate me enough to kill me."

"I do love you, but believe me there were some days when I was very tempted to do something to you, of course it mostly involved tying you to my bed and keeping you there as my sex slave."

"You should have. I would have enjoyed it. Thank you though for being patient and letting me come to terms with my demons. If it weren't for that night I would probably be the one on the slab."

"I love you too much."

"And I love you more than you will ever know."

"What does this mean?"

This is what Gil loved so much about Sara, one minute they were letting their hearts bleed and the next Sara was back into work mode.

"Well, I suppose this means that there are some new positions to be filled. We're going to need a new director and then a new shift supervisor for whatever shift they decide to take from."

"Do you think that they'll ask you?"

"They already did."

"What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted it to be a surprise."

"So who gets night shift?"

"You do. I'm giving Catherine Days. I'm calling in a favor from Canada for someone for Swing Shift."

"The boy's will be working for?"

"Nick will be working with Catherine and Greg and Warrick will be working for you. This way Cath and Rick can do as they please and I'm sure that my friend from Canada will want a piece of Nick."

"So you're playing match maker now?"

"I just want everyone to be happy."

TBC?

This chapter kindof sucked. I wanted to wrap up some loose ends so I could get back to Gil and Sara. I still have a wedding to PLAN!!!!!!!!
