Tara was in the lab, playing U2's with or without you. Grissom could hear it in his office as the soft lyrics flooded his troubled thoughts.
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you…
With or without you
With or without you.
I can't live with or without you.
He needed to stop the date, but he wouldn't. He wanted to go on a date with Sara, and he was going to. He didn't care what happened a a result.
Life goes on... Anything bad that happens will be fixed. It will work out.
He gave his attention back to his case. A young woman was found in a bed, with no outward signs of COD. Her identical twin sister was in questioning right now. Grissom slowly stood up and walked down the hall silently until he reached the interrogation room.
"Jessica Allen?", he aked of the sister. She looked very distraught, and she had been crying very hard. She was average height, and blonde. Her eyes were blue and bloodshot from crying. She shakily nodded yes.
"Th-thats me. Nobody will tell me, how did my sister die?", she said in such a hushed whisper Grissom could barely understand her.
"We, we don't know yet. She didn't show any outward signs as to her manner of death, but we're looking. We'll find out soon enough. Now, may I ask you a few questions?"
She sighed and looked at her hands in her lap. "Yes. I want to help."
"Thank you. Now, did your sister have a drug problem?"
She looked a little surprised at the question. "No, not Ashley. She was kind of a health nut. She didn't even hang out with anyone who did drugs. She was one hundred percent clean."
"Nothing personal, just standard questioning. Was she a generally happy person, nobody who wanted to commit suicide?"
"She was one of the happist people in the world. She didn't have any enemies or anything."
The questioning contiued and they found out that Ashley was alone in the house when she died, and the security alarm was fully intact. So, either she commited suicide, it was an accident, or the murderer was in the house before the security alarm was set. But that means that the murderer could have been in the house while we were investigating...
Grissom thought about Sara off and on during that case, wondering how she was doing. She was staying at her own house now. Grissom would stop by every day to see how she was, but she couldn't come back to work for another month.
Grissom's pager went off. It was from Nick. His heart rate spe dup dangerously when he saw the message on the pager's tiny screen. He ran off to the hospital as he comprehended the message on the pager.
Catherine. 911. car accident.
