Sara grabbed the case file and turned left in the direction of the Interrogation Room. A Security Officer was standing outside of the doorway.
"Hello Miss Sidle" said the Officer.
"Hi Benny" replied Sara.
"Would you like me to go in with you?" he asked.
"No, it's okay. I'd prefer to question this guy alone. Don't worry Benny, I'm capable of protecting myself. Besides, he wouldn't do anything dangerous. They all act so innocent when we question them," Sara said with a smile.
"Okay Sara," he said suppressing a yawn. "I'll be on the first floor having some dinner if you need me," Officer Benny said as he walked away.
Sara walked into the Interrogation Room and quickly closed her dropped jaw at the sight of Mr. Breolac. He was a handsome middle-aged man with hazel eyes and chestnut hair. She went over to the table and sat down, pushing the open case files towards Mr. Breolac.
"Hi. My name is Sara Sidle and I'm a Crime Scene Investigator. Do you know who this woman is?" Sara said pointing at the dead woman's picture.
"Yes. That is Natalie Greenwich, a former girlfriend of mine" he answered.
"Are you aware that she was raped and killed two days ago?" Sara asked him.
"No. Wow…poor Natalie, she was a nice girl too" he said.
"Okay Mr. Breolac, I'm going to need you to strip over there in the corner", Sara said pointing to the corner to her left. "I've noticed that your jacket has a stain on it. It appears to be blood," she said.
Sara got out of her chair and went over to a small table behind her to review the case files, as Mr. Breolac undressed in the corner. She didn't hear Mr. Breolac sneak up behind her because she was talking out-loud to herself.
Before she knew it, Sara was pinned to the center table with a piece of ripped clothing shoved into her mouth, so that her frightened screams were muffled. Every time she struggled to get free of Mr. Breolac he would bruise her wrists. She felt herself give in, and lay on the table, feeling helpless. He climbed on top of her stomach, proceeding to pull off Sara's shirt and pants. She lay on the table as angry tears fell down her face.
Grissom was walking quickly towards his office. "I can't believe I forgot my car keys in my office" he thought to himself. All of a sudden he could hear a voice coming from down the hall. A sense of uneasiness came over him. Grissom felt drawn to go and discover where the voice was coming from.
As Grissom approached the Interrogation Room, his heart almost stopped. There was Sara, lying half-naked on the table, as the suspect in her case lay on top of her pinning her down.
"STOP!" screamed Grissom as he banged on the window, hoping to get the suspect's attention.
Mr. Breolac suddenly looked up. He could hear something yet couldn't see anything (seeing as it was a one-way mirror). Grissom realized this and headed towards the door. He couldn't keep his eyes off of Sara's.
"I'm coming Sara!" Grissom yelled through the door.
The door was locked from the inside. Grissom shot the doorknob off and kicked down the door, rushing into the room angrily.
"We need help in here!" Grissom yelled down the empty hallway.
To Sara's complete horror and humiliation Sophia Curtis ran into the room.
"What's going on…?" Sophia started to ask but was cut off by Grissom.
"Sophia, I need you to find a Security Officer somewhere in this building and have him come to this room immediately!" demanded Grissom.
"Uh…okay sure." Sophia said while running out the door and down the hallway.
Approximately two minutes later Sophia ran back into the room followed by Officer Benny. At the sight of Sara on the table Benny felt a strong, overbearing sensation of guilt come over him.
"I know I never should have left Sara alone, but she was so sure that she could handle it," said Benny sadly.
"You WHAT!" said Grissom furiously.
"Uh Grissom…maybe Benny here should take Mr. Breolac into custody so that you can help Sara" said Sophia pointing at Sara, who was at present curled up in the corner farthest away from her attacker.
