Grissom's Office
"What exactly do you know about Sara's family?" says Catherine walking straight into Grissom's office.
"Where is this coming from?" Grissom wondered, after looking up from what he was doing.
"I ran the prints."
"And?" said Grissom.
"She has a record." Catherine drops the papers in front of Grissom. Grissom begins to look through the papers.
"Arrested in '84 on kidnapping, assault, and arson charges. Was released after a short sentenced."
"Did you know about this?" Catherine asked.
"No." A brief moment passes before Grissom gets up from his desk and proceeds towards the hallway. "Aren't you coming?"
"Where are you going?"
"Interrogation."
Interrogation Room
"We need to ask you a few more questions."
"Go ahead."
"I see that you didn't bring a lawyer with you."
"I don't think I need one, Ms. Willows. I didn't do anything to Laura. I couldn't."
"But what about kidnapping, assault and arson?"
"You read my record…it is not as clear cut as it looks."
"Then clear it up for us."
"The kidnapping charges were a joke. All I wanted to do was protect the family I had left."
"Left?" questioned Catherine, "what do you mean?"
"It's a long story."
"Why don't you tell us?"
"I can't."
"Why is that, Ms. Cruz?" questioned Catherine "Are you trying to hide anything?"
"No its just …its not just my story."
"Its Sara's too." Stated Grissom.
"Yes."
"It would help clear you if you were to tell us everything." Stated Catherine.
"I won't do it I won't break my promise to her again even if that means going to prison."
"I sorry but we have to place you under arrest." An officer came forward, placing handcuffs around her wrists, to lead her out of the room.
"What could be so bad about their past that she'd go to prison to protect it?" stated Catherine. She turned to see Grissom deep in thought.
"Lets just get back to the lab," mumbled Grissom. 'Something is wrong' thought Catherine seeing Grissom's reaction.
The Next Day
Sara's Apartment
A knock at the door
"Catherine, what are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?" Catherine said.
"Sure." Letting Catherine walk in to absorb the new surroundings.
"I don't think I've ever been to your place before. It looks comfortable and…lived in."
"Uh thanks."
"I half expected to see…."
"moving boxes still?"
"Well yeah."
"Do you want water or something?"
"Sure water is fine." Sara walks over to the refrigerator and pulls out two bottles of water. She hands one to Catherine.
"Thanks."
"Have a seat." Sara motions to the couch.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine considering…"
"I came here to tell you that your aunt was arrested for …the murder."
"I know. It was in the news."
"She refused to talk. We had no choice."
"Oh." was the only response that escaped Sara's lips.
"Sara, what happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your aunt refused to tell us anything about her past …your past."
"Catherine, I..."
"You can tell me Sara. I've heard and seen the worst."
"No you haven't."
"You can trust me. Whatever it is." Sara walks over to her chair to sit down.
"I know. Its just hard to…"
"Take your time."
Thanks for the nice reviews. I'll update soon
