"That's blood," said Sara, stating the obvious.

Nick swallowed hard. "Shall we phenylphthaline it, just to be sure?" He looked at Sara, who was already opening her kit. She swabbed the doorframe, and squirted some liquid onto the swab. It turned pink. "It's blood."

The two of them went inside, and processed the rest of Greg's house, before returning to the lab.

"What took you so long?" asked Grissom, going into the layout room where the two of them were setting up.

"Greg's been taken," said Nick. "We found blood, and signs of a struggle at his house. The reason we took so long is because we were processing his house. This is what we've got."

"Show me," said Grissom, sitting down at the large table and pulling on some latex gloves. He watched as his two CSIs opened their boxes, and explained their theory to him.

"Blood from the doorframe."

"Broken glass."

"Photographs of the kitchen."

"It's a mess."

"Broken vase."

"Stack of CDs knocked over."

"He put up a fight."

"Who would do this?"

"I don't know," said Grissom. "I'll let you carry on with this, I'll split the rest of the work between Catherine, Warrick, and myself. Keep me informed."

"We will," said Nick.

"Thanks Gris," added Sara, watching her supervisor leave the room.
