The air here tastes like dust and this room is too dark.

Please state your name for the record.

I don't like the dark - he knows I don't - he's laughing at me.

I – you know my name, do I really have to – to say it?

I can't breathe in here. There's blood all over my clothes – mine. Or mostly mine.

It's procedure, sir. Please state your name for the record.

The 'sir'. That hurt. It's cold – too cold – the floor's hard and my head – my head's throbbing.

I told you, I told you so many times, I couldn't see his face.

The rope won't stop digging into my wrists and I can't take it any more. Kill me, please, God, just let me die.

I – he had a mask – no, nothing distinguishable about his voice – I – please, just stop...

It can't be long now. I should have known he'd come to my house. This is where he found me the first time. Can't be long now. I want it to end.

I understand this is difficult sir, but we need to know -

I can taste metal. No – blood. My blood? In my mouth – oh God, am I dying? Please – no, not now, I don't want – I can't hear anything – please – just let me say goodbye -

I've told you all I can, please just let me go home.

- let me tell them how much they meant to me -

Sir, they're routine questions, was the suspect -

- how much they taught me -

Stop calling me 'sir', you know who I am, you know my name, please -

Not now, don't let me die, please don't let me die.

We can offer you police protection if you feel -

Blood, there's so much blood, I can't even scream any more. I'm too young for this, I haven't done enough to die, it can't end now, not now, please not now.

No – I'm alright – can I go now?

I can't see – it doesn't hurt any more – let them find me now – don't let them get hurt – it's so bright, I can't take the brightness – I'm want to move – I want to go home -

Yes. Yes, sir, you're dismissed.

He was behind me, I couldn't fight back – want home – home -

You can take as much time off as you'd like.

I wonder if Grissom will cry for me?

No, I'm fine, I'll be in tomorrow.

Maybe there'll be roses at my funeral. I like roses. Yellow ones.
