Thirteen year old Kaley Trenton sat on the couch with her mother Cathy. As the credits on the television screen rolled, Cathy looked down at her watch.

Kaley? Sweetheart?" she nudged her daughter. " I think you should head off to bed."

Kaley sat up wiping her groggy eyes. " You going to?" she whispered getting up on her feet.

Cathy nodded " In a bit, I want to wait up for Eddie."

Kaley raised her eyebrow. " Why, he never comes home when he says he will, and all you do is wait."

Cathy sighed " Not tonight, we are not fight about Eddie again tonight." she paused " Kaley..why do you hate him?"

Kaley sat back down. " I don't hate him but...I..he's not my dad, and he doesn't like me either. All he ever talks about is his daughter Lindsey..but he never see's her, but he always compares her to me?"

Cathy was shaking her head " No Kaley he loves us , he loves me and he loves you,"

Kaley sighed " Whatever mom, I'll see you in the morning!" With that Kaley turned and headed down the hallway.

Taking another quick glance at her watch Cathy stood from the couch and headed of to her bedroom.

Neither of them were aware of the intruder hiding in the shadows of their safety.


Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows arrived on the scene, and were greeted by Jim Brass.

"SO what do we have?" Gil asked stopping next to the man.

"Two bodies, thirteen year old Kaley Trenton and her mother Cathy Trenton, officer said it's pretty bad in there, nothing has been touched and the area has been cleared and secured." he paused and turned toward the house " It's all your's"

Gil nodded and watched as Brass headed toward the first officer on scene.

"Cath? You coming?"

Catherine stood staring into space

"Cath? Sweetheart. Whats wrong?"

Gil put down his kit and took her face in his hands

"Catherine?"

"Trenton.." she replied " Cathy and Kaley Trenton..Eddie's fiance and step daughter. I never met them but, he mentioned them to Lindsey three months ago. The last time he called her."

"Oh God...it's " Gil paused " Do you want off the case?"

Catherine shook her head " No, I'll be fine but..Eddie's going to be devastated and " she trailed off

"what Cath? What's wrong?"

"Eddie,..He'll be a potential suspect...""


Catherine entered the home Gil close behind. Leaving their kits at the door the two began a walk through before they began processing.

The first bedroom they came to was Cathy's. Catherine pushed the door open and the two stepped in.

There on the bed bound and beaten was Cathy Trenton.

"Look at the floor." Catherine pointed out to the large bloody drag marks that led toward the bed. " She was dragged from the hallway, which means she was injured before she got to her room" she paused " She went to protect her daughter."

Gil nodded " Her clothes are torn, her panties cut off." he pointed "

" As if slitting her throat and beating her wasn't enough, bastard had to rape her to.." Catherine added

Gil furrowed his brow

Catherine glared at him " Don't tell me he tied her up and cut of her clothes for nothing."

Gil shrugged " We don't speak for the evidence..Not until the evidence speaks for us."

Catherine rolled her eyes "Look at all the blood, there has to be other stab wounds, all that couldn't have come from her neck."

"Check out her hands.." Gil muttered

"Defensive wounds... she was a fighter. which means she probably got a piece of him "

Catherine nodded and headed for the door.Gil followed.

"Cath? You sure you want to go in?"

Catherine nodded " I'll be fine Gil..it's part of the job."

Gil nodded as she stepped into Kaleys bedroom. There on the bed in the same fashion as her mother was Kaley.

"Looks like the same thing" Catherine commented approaching the bed. " Poor girl, she must have been so afraid."

Gil nodded as he bent down beside the bed.

"Same defensive wounds as her mother, clothes torn."

"Sick" Catherine cut in " she was just a kid."

Gil stood back up and stared at the young girl, how strange it made him feel. for a second Gil had to look away, the girl lying in front of him looked just like Lindsey, his mind was playing tricks on him, and earlier in the room with Cathy, he thought for a moment he had seen Catherine , if he hadn't been standing right beside her he would have sworn it was her lying there.

Gil was pulled from his trance when he heard yelling from outside.

He looked over at Catherine , he knew that voice and so knew it to.

"Eddie" she whispered heading out of the room
