Three Sins

"There are only three sins - causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish. The rest is window dressing." - Roger Caras

Nine – Number… Nine?

"Carolyn Andrews, Victim number three. Worked at the City Blue Bar"

Brass looked at Grissom expectant face.

'Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body (Corinthians 6:18)'

"Lovely man, isn't he?"

"Who said that it was a man?" Grissom asked Brass.

Brass rolled his eyes at the CSI.

"Anyway, the press are having a field day. 'The Slut Slayer strikes again!' Makes this job so much better don't you think?" the detective said sarcastically.

"Anyway, it seems that the killer has done this before, in Michigan. Killed six prostitutes, stopped about five years ago. Quite a change of scenery, don't you think Gil?"

"Are you sure that it is the same person. There are a lot of murderers who kill prostitutes and the likes."

"Same as far as I can see. I am getting the files sent over."

Grissom sighed softly and looked at the report on the table.

"I sent Sara over to the scene. Nicky and Catherine are still analysing the evidence for Tracy Green and Warrick is at the scene for a hit and run."

"I take it you are going over Madeline Flynn's file?"

Grissom 'mmed' as a way of replying.

"Well Gil, we have Carolyn Andrews's boss and co-workers coming in."

The CSI looked up.

"We called the boss, Aden Wright. He said that he would inform… 'his girls' for us. Said that it was policy not to give out numbers and addresses without a warrant."

"And it is within policy to give out names?"

Brass waved a piece of paper at Grissom.

"We should we expecting; Anna DeCurtis, Sadie Pride, Melanie Thomas, Chloe White, Brianne Constanza, Megan Moore, Illyana Kasdorf and…"

Brass' eyes widened slightly.

"…Emily Saunders."

"Greg's sister? Greg's sister worked with the victim?"

The door opening made Grissom and Brass look up.

Nick put his head around the door.

"Some people who worked at the City Blue with Carolyn Andrews are here."

"Thanks Nick. Could you show them to room Seven."

"Sure thing boss."

A few minutes later, Grissom and Brass entered room Seven. There were nine people in there including Nick.

A man approached Grissom and his guess was proved correct when he introduced himself as Aden Wright – the owner of City Blue.

He then proceeded to introduce the seven women in the room.

Ana DeCurtis was tall and slim with vibrant red hair.

Sadie Pride stood at about 5ft2" with chin length pink hair.

Melanie Thomas also had pink hair, which went surprisingly well with her olive skin.

Chloe White, was a coloured girl, she had a very pretty face which was slimmed down by the feathery cut of her dark brown hair.

Brianne Constanza had very exotic looks and was with out a doubt the most beautiful and striking woman in the room.

Where Sadie Pride was short, Megan Moore definitely was not. She must have stood at about 6ft6". She was taller than any of the men in the room.

Illyana Kasdorf was the only one sitting down, and the only one who looked as is she had not been crying.

She looked up when Aden Wright introduced her.

"You must be one who work with Emily's brother," she said in a Russian accent. "She be here soon. Greg is driving her."

True to Illyana's word, Emily was there soon – sooner than expected.

Barely thirty seconds after the Russian spoke the door opened and Greg walked in. He had his hand on the shoulder of a girl who they recognized to be his sister Emily.

She immediately walked over to the Russian girl and stood next to her.

"Sorry Emily was late," Greg muttered to the CSI's. The car broke down."

Aden Wright looked up at the CSI's.

"I take it that you want to question us?" He said.

Brass nodded.

They were all taken out one at a time and not brought back to the room. Soon only Emily was left in the room. Greg was with her. They had stood in silence since they had entered the room. Greg kept throwing worried glances at his sister. She didn't seem to notice.

Emily was just standing next to the table, her face pale and her eyes glaze.

Grissom came into the room.

"Emily we are ready for you now."

She nodded.

"Greg go home," she said. "I can get a cab after this."

He snorted.

"Forget it Em. I'll be in the break room when you are done."

She pursed her lips and then relaxed them, chewing on the bottom of them.

Grissom led Emily to a room just up the hall and to the right. Brass was already inside.

"Now Ms Saunders…"

"Emily," she interrupted.

"Emily, when was the last time that you saw Ms Andrews?"

She looked at the man with her brow furrowed.

"Friday. Um… she was dancing that day and I was upstairs singing. I saw her on break at the bar. She was talking to a guy. I wanted to talk to Stewart. The barman on Fridays. We've dated a couple of times, um… I was just getting what time we were meeting on Tuesday. He is taking me to see a film... The Grudge I think."

"Anyway, I said hi, she said hi back."

"What I this guy look like? Did he have a name?"

"Yeah," she said. "She called him Al. He was about forty, kind of fat."

"Look is this going anywhere detective Brass?"

"We need to investigate all leads Emily."

"You don't think he did it?"

"We don't know, but we still need to speak to him, we need to speak to everyone who was seen with her before she died."

Grissom spoke for the first time.

"Anything you can remember, anything at all could help us catch this person. They have killed other girls and if we don't find who it is, they will kill again. Of that I am certain."

"I don't know!" She snapped in frustration. "I don't remember. I wasn't concentrating on Lynnie at the time. I do have my own problems you know."

She paled visibly.

"Oh, I didn't mean it to sound like that. It's just... I am having a few problems at the moment. I wasn't thinking about Lynnie, or this guy. Hell I wasn't even thinking much about Stewart."

She chewed on her lip again

"Look, I don't think that I can help you much Mr. Grissom, Detective Brass. If I could I would, but..."

She shrugged.

"Ok Emily, you can go now. But if you think of anything at all then call me, here is my card."

He handed her a small rectangle of card which she pocketed before she left the room.

"What do you think Gil?" Brass asked.

"She's hiding something."

Authors Note – I am so sorry for the long time before this update. I borrowed morrowind off of my brother…

Thank you for the reviews and positive feedback. I really appreciate it. I love my reviewers and give them all cookies.

I live in the UK by-the-way, so I am sorry if I get things wrong to do with American terms, and places in Vegas.

Sorry about the spelling. I don't have a Beta reader and my spelling is crap. I try to check it as much as I can but it isn't helped by the fact that my D key is temperamental.
