As Sara started to drive away she could see a tear making it's way down Nikki's cheek it was the first sign of weakness the girl had shown.
"You know you can talk to me right" said Sara in a gentel voice reserved for young children.
"How can I talk to you I bet you don't even want to take me with you back to your stupid lab" snapped Nikki
"Nikki you're a victim I'll do what I can to help"
"Take me home with you then take me away from my family they hate me and I hate them just like I bet you hate me everyone hates me"
Sara drove the rest of the distance between them and the crime lab in a deathly silence how could Nikki even think a Sara would be able to look after a young girl she couldn't even cook pasta without burning it.
As they arrived at the modern lab Sara got out of the car closely followed by Nikki the girl seemed smaller now that she was out in the open almost like a child did on their first day at school sad and worried about what she might in counter once inside.
"Come with me I'll take you to the break room where you can stay while I try to find Catherine" Sara's voice sound more like an order than a request.
The truth was what Nikki had said had brought back painful memorises of her own childhood when she would have gone to the devil him self rather than stay with her parent's.
"In here help yourself to a soda out of the fridge while I go find Catherine" Sara stated as she pointed towards the break room.
After leaving Nikki Sara set off down the chain of corridors to try and find Catherine who was busy at work in the DNA lab.
"Cath I need some help" said Sara from the doorway of the DNA lab.
"Unlike you" said Catherine I a surprised voice
"It's not to do with work it's the girl from the house fire social services won't be here for at least 48 hours and well….she asked me to take her home Cath I just feel so sorry for her I suppose she reminds me of me at that age when I was scared and worried" blurted Sara
"It won't be easy teenagers are hard work when their your own never mind someone else and think about what will happen when her parent's come to take her home then what you going to do?" said Catherine in a worried tone
"She has no family they were all killed in the fire she go into foster care I no what that can be like she would never survive she so scrod up it scary.
"I don't know Sara what will Grissom think and social services probeberly won't let you with our shifts look what Eddie tried to do with Lindsey" said Catherine referring to the time her ex had tried to gain custody of their young daughter because of the shift Catherine worked.
"Grissom would proberly be happy I've found something out of work and as for social services I just have to see what happens I need to help her she reminds me of me and I don't want to she someone else go through what I went through.
With that Sara head out of the DNA Lab leaving a stunned Catherine behind and headed towards the break room where Nikki was sitting at the large table in the centre talking to Greg about some rock band.
