Chapter Four

The Suspense is Killing Me

Greg ended his shift and walked to the locker room to change and go home, he stood at his locker when Grissom walked in, he turned to look at him.

"I sent everything to trace, did you need something else?" Grissom sat down and looked at him he had a glum expression on his face. "Are you okay?"

"I have some news I thought I would let you know about since you are involved in the case."

"Which case?"

"The Las Vegas visitors center" Greg's expression turned for the worst.

"What about it?"

"We might have an involvment in it from another state..."

"Really where?"

"Well there was another shooting in North Dakota a week ago, they are sending the bullets and evidence to us so we can compare" Grissom stood up.

"Wait why do you think it's connected?"

"The boy that was shot, was Tyde Mitchell, Raine's brother"

Raine sat in her room watching TV, it was all she could do, she wasn't allowed to go anywhere and if she tried there was a officer outside the door that was to go with her. So she figured she might as well not even try, she was watching the news when a report came on the air about a possible killing in North Dakota that could be involved with the killing at the visitor's center. Raine tossed the remote on the bed and watched as crime scene photos flashed on the screen from North Dakota, it all seemed familiar somehow. The reporter announced that they had a photo of the victim and a name, it flashed on the screen and Raine's heart broke. The officer knocked on the door asking if she was decent and that she had a visitor, when she screamed he flung opened the door and Greg rushed in. She was hysterically crying as she knelt on the floor, Greg saw the TV and the picture of Tyde.

"Oh Raine I'm so sorry, I tried to get here as fast as I could to tell you..."

"Why?" she exclaimed "Why him?"

"I don't know I'm sorry" He hugged her as she cried.

"Was it really my dad?" she looked at him.

"We don't know yet if he is the one that killed your brother, but we do know he is the one that shot you" Raine slumped back against the mattress still sitting on the floor.

"I was going to call him when everything got straight..." she wiped the tears from her cheek, Greg looked at her and he felt sorry for her, she had literally lost everything, her father was trying to kill her, her mother was dead and now so was her brother.

"Well we are working as hard as we can to get everything and the cops are working hard to find him." Raine looked down.

"Well now I guess I'm absolutely forbidden to leave and go anywhere huh?"

"It's for the best, I mean now more then ever he must not know where you are" Raine looked at him.

"I'm sorry I was rude to you on the phone, I know you wanted to tell me but you couldn't I was just mad" she got to her feet and walked into the bathroom splashing water on her face, she dried it off and leaned against the wall in the doorway. Greg got up and sat down on the chair by the window.

"It's okay I knew you were and I'm not mad about it" she walked over and sat down on the couch, she brought her legs up sitting indian style.

"So when did you find out about my brother?"

"A few hours ago, I got stuck in traffic on the way over here to tell you, I didn't know they already had it on the news, I thought it wouldn't get out until tomorrow."

"Yea well they never wanna pass up a good story." her eyes started to water as she thought about it but she held it all back.

"The bullets and fingerprints recovered are on there way to the lab we should have them by tomorrow night."

"It doesn't matter I know it was him, and I don't think me getting shot was an accident. I think I was suppose to be at that bus station and he knew it. I'm not sure how, but it was meant to happen, but I still can't figure out why the one guy was killed." she sat there in thought Greg watched her, she felt his eyes on her and the silence and looked up at him. He realized he was staring and stopped turning his attention to the TV.

"You might be right" he said when he spoke. "And I guess we won't know why that guy was shot until we take your father in for questioning"

"He wants the money..." Greg looked at her confused.

"What money?" Raine got up and walked over to her bag and handed the star shaped tin.

"That money, its the money my mother left to me, she left money for my brother too, but he wasn't allowed to touch it until he turned 18, well I got mine already, thats only some of it the rest is in a bank account."

"There's over 10,000 dollars here."

"I know...my mother left a million dollars to be split among me and my brother, well now just me because that asshole shot him and he tried to shoot me too, he knows I already got my share."

"How did he know about the money?" Greg shut the tin and handed it back to her.

"She had always talked about it, they would get in arguments because he needed money and she wouldn't let him touch it she said it was for the kids when she passed, because she knew she would."

"So is it like one of those things, that if you and your brother dies it goes to him?" she shook her head.

"My mom wasn't that stupid, she knew he would do anything for the money, but I guess she didn't count on him trying to steal it from us. In case of our deaths the money would go to whomever we left it to. If there was no one it would go into a safety deposit box and never be touched again." Raine sat back down, and Greg watched her.

"Who did you leave yours to?"

"My brother, and he left his to me" Raine sighed "My father probably figured on that and thats why he came after me after he killed my brother. What he doesn't know is probably now my brothers money has been deposited to my account, but it's an account with only a number and a password, and only me or my brother can access it."

"So if your father killed you, he would only get the money you have on you and he wouldn't be able to touch the rest" She nodded and Greg smiled.

"Your mother was a smart woman, but I guess she didn't count on your father going to such drastic measures" Raine shook her head.

"I think deep in her heart she did, but she was hoping he wouldn't" Greg looked at her.

"I'm going to go pick you up something to eat, since you can't go anywhere, did you need anything else?"

"Here I'll write you a list if you don't mind" she got to her feet and he shrugged.

"Not at all go ahead." Raine grabbed a notepad and a pen and wrote a few things down, she handed it to him and he went to the door.

"You have my number if you remember anything else." he opened it and she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks"

"Your welcome" he said with a smile.
