A/N: After much thought and liberation to do so, i had the idea to cross CSI with Enterprise. I have written lyrics or a song for this which started the idea of War In Your Room off. So the song will feature in the last chapter as an added bonus to this fictional murder case. Not all the characters from CSI will be used I'm afraid but Gil Grissom will be featuring: We can't leave him out can we:D If you would like a certain Character from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation/Las Vegas to appear, E-mail me...it will be done by a voting system.

Enterprise was orbiting Earth itself. It was time for family visits, ship repairs. Only around half the ship left for home and Trip couldn't blame them. He too was leaving for his home to see his parents again.

There was nothing to suggest that anything horrific would happen that day. Everyone was in a happy, joyous mood and in good spirits. Little did they know that tonight would be the most horrific night of their lives.

Kate paced about in her quarters, worrying her head away. Her boyfriend was bound to be here any minute as she put her things away. The thing was that she didn't love him anymore.

Her boyfriend's name wasJustin Hound and was very formidable. It was partly why she fell in love with him in the first place but now, it was too intimidating for her. And that's why she wanted to back out of the relationship but if he found out she was going to leave him for another man, she knew that Matthew would not be happy.

Right on cue the chime went. Kate knew who was on the other side.

"Come in," She said loudly, but there was hesitation in her voice. She turned towards the door.

To her amazement it was actually Commander Tucker who walked in.

He noticed the look on her face.

" You all righ'?" He asked gently.

"Yeah. I'm fine Sir. Yourself?"

"Never better. I must hand these to everyone who's goin' back home for his or her shore leaveso here's yours" He handed her a padd.

She took it and cast a brief look at it.

"Thanks Sir"

"No problem…and well done in Engineering…" Trip smiled and left, leaving Kate to stand there looking behind him as he left.

Kate sighed and continued her packing; she was nearly finished when the door chimed again.

"Come in" she said absently. She was too busy packing to take notice of who it was this time round.

A figure walked, concealing something behind his back as he walked in.

"Hello Kate"

Kate immediately knew there was something up. He can't know, he couldn't have found out could he?

"Justin…how are you?"

"How long?" Justin cut her off.

"What are you on about?" Kate looked at him questioningly, she was completely confused as to what he was talking about.

"How long have you been screwing Marc behind my back?" Justin was angry and his eyes were filled with hatred.

Kate took a moment to answer, carefully laying down a spare uniform on the bed.

"Justin…I was going to tell you today. I understand you're angry at me but I don't love you anymore…I'm sorry"

"It's no excuse!" Justin advanced onto her; she backed away from his intimidating posture. Her eyes darted from side to side, looking for a possible means of escape. Justin removed his hands from behind his back producing a Phase Rifle he had stolen from the Armoury. His eyes glaring at her like she was some dirt on his shoe.

"What are you doing?" Kate cried backing away till she could go no further. Her back hit the wall. Kate was breathing heavily and her breaths were ragged, irregular. Justin advanced on her, lifting the weapon by its barrel end with vengeance.

"You're paying for what you've done to me Kate…you hurt me"

"Don't! Please…I have a life to live Justin…. I'm sorry, I really am…. Please don't kill me," Kate whimpered as she tried to escape. Justin didn't let her and hit her on the head, sending her to the floor. Blood spurted from her mouths and stuck to the floor in a small puddle.

Justin rolled her over with his foot and hit her again and again, not only in the face but on the chest. Kate cried forlornly and tried to get away from him but again he stopped her by stepping on her lower abdomen and pressed down, hard.

Kate yelled with the pressure of the oncoming pain. She struggled in vain to get his foot off of her. The blows kept coming, getting repeatedly harder with each hit but then the hits stopped. Wearily, bruised and in much pain Kate tried to get away when she felt the pressure from her stomach release. That was when she heard a Rifle being charged.

"No…. not like this" A shot was fired and Kate knew no more, sinking into the black abyss of nothing.

Justin removed a piece of cloth from a pocket on his chest. He wiped with firm pressure on the rifle to remove any prints he'd left. He placed it on the bed and threw the covers over it and left the room without looking back.
