Hannah and Sara walked into the interrogation room where Brass was waiting for them.
"Hello Ms. Clark. My name is Sara Sidle and this is my assistant Hannah Carson. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No offence young lady, but aren't you just a teenager?" The elderly lady said looking at Hannah.
"Yes ma'am. I am being mentored here."
"She is helping with our investigation." Sara said sitting down. "Ms. Clark, would you please tell us about Anna?"
"Oh yes. She was a nice girl. She would come over after school and help me around the house. She was a great student. Not very popular, but that is pretty hard these days for someone like Anna. She was a great girl, but she had very sad eyes. Everyday, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her."
"Ms. Clark, we are trying to find out what happened to Anna, can you think of anyone who would want to hurt her?"
"Everybody loved Anna. She had a hard childhood though. And that father of hers. Always yelling at that poor girl." She said sternly as Hannah looked up and finally spoke.
"Ms. Clark, do you know if Anna's father ever hit her? Did he ever abuse her?" Hannah asked closing her folder.
"Well, I suppose so. With all of the times I could hear him coming home drunk, it wouldn't surprise me. You don't think her father killed her, do you?"
"We don't know Ms. Clark. We have our whole lab trying to figure that out now." Sara said as Hannah slowly sank in her chair.
"Anna would come over and I would notice her wearing make up. I know for a teenage girl that isn't anything to be worried about, but she told me several times that she hated to wear it. And when she had it on, she wore too much. She would come home from school, but she would call me and tell me she felt sick. One day she came over and she has a sprained wrist." Ms. Clark said sadly. "I tried to ask her about it, but she would just stay quiet or change the subject."
"Do you know where we can find her father?"
"Not at the moment. I don't know where he goes after work. And I don't know when he will be home. He works as the head of security at the Mirage casino during the day though."
"Thank you for coming in Ms. Clark." Sara said standing up to show her out.
"You're welcome. I hope I've helped."
"You have ma'am." Hannah said following Sara.
"Oh, Ms. Sidle, when you find out what happened to Anna, please, I would like to know."
"Yes ma'am. Hannah, would you show Ms. Clark the way out please? You can meet me back here."
"Yes ma'am. Right this way." Hannah said taking her out to the parking lot. Catherine and Grissom came out of the observation room to talk to Sara.
"Hey guys. How do you think she did?" Sara asked as Catherine spoke first.
"I think she was a little uncomfortable. It might just be the fact that the case is about a girl her age getting abused and possibly killed be her own father. If I was a kid Hannah's age, I would be uncomfortable."
"Maybe." Grissom joined in as he turned back to Sara. "Hey Sara, when are those pictures going to be developed?"
"Uh, the lab is backlogged so it might take a day or two. But I think I already know what they will be like." Sara said sadly staring at the floor as Hannah rejoined them.
"Hey Hannah. So, how did you like your first interview?" Catherine said as Hannah came up behind Sara.
"It was okay. I was a little nervous, I wasn't sure what to ask. I'm just glad I wasn't in there alone." She said smiling to Sara.
"Well, I think you did one heck of a job." Grissom said smiling. "Shift is over, so you guys can leave unless you have anything important to do."
"I think I'm ready to go." Sara said smiling. "I have to go see Greg first. Hannah, are you coming?"
"Yes." Hannah said turning around to follow Sara.
"Oh, Hannah. I wasn't able to put it on the schedule, but you have the night off tomorrow too."
"Okay, thanks."
"Wait a minute, if we all have the night off, who is working?" Catherine asked turning to him.
"Well, I have Nick and Warrick on the schedule for tomorrow, and if anything comes up, then I might have to call everyone in."
"Oh...okay. Yeah, that explains it. I'm gonna go with Sara and Hannah, I need to get Lindsey. I'll meet you outside."
"Okay. See ya." Grissom said watching them walk to the lab. They were talking about random things when Catherine stopped in the middle of the hallway.
"Shh. Do you hear that?"
"Hear what? I don't hear anything." Sara said looking around.
"Exactly. It is too quiet." Catherine said walking into Greg's lab. She was surprised to see Lindsey coloring, and Greg working without music. "Hey, why is it so quiet in here?"
"Mommy!" Lindsey squealed running to Catherine.
"Hey baby. Are you being good?"
"Yes she is. She was nice and quiet." Greg said smiling.
"Hey mommy, what are we gonna do tomorrow night since you don't have to work?"
"Mommy and uncle Grissom are going out for dinner and...oh no! I forgot to call a sitter. Greg, do you have plans?"
"Sorry Cath. I uh, have a date."
"Sara?"
"Sorry Catherine. I have a date too." She said smiling to Greg.
"I can do it." Hannah said from behind Greg. "If you don't mind of course."
"Really? Oh Hannah you're a life saver. Thank you so much. How much should I pay you?"
"Don't worry about it. It's my pleasure."
"Oh, okay. Well I have to do something for you."
"Well, could you pick me up? I could come over early so you can get ready to leave."
"Okay that works. Where do you live?"
"1115 Casona Drive. I'll talk to my dad. He won't mind, I'm pretty sure he has plans tomorrow too."
"What about your mom?"
"Oh, my mom died when I was born."
"Oh, Hannah I'm sorry. I didn't-"
"No it's okay, you didn't know."
"Okay, I'll pick you up around 5:30?"
"Sure. Hey Linds, would you like to hang out with me tomorrow night?"
"Yeah!" Lindsey said, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Well, I guess that settles it." Catherine said laughing. "Okay baby, say goodnight to everyone."
"Okay, bye Sara, bye Greg. See you tomorrow Hannah."
"Bye shortie." Greg said as they left.
"Hey Hannah, do you need a ride?" Sara offered standing.
"Uh, sure. You don't mind?"
"No, it's on my way home anyway."
"Okay, thanks. Bye...Captain Genius." Hannah said smiling playfully to Greg.
"Hannah!"
"You know, I'm really anxious to hear about this." Sara said smiling as Greg pouted. "Oh come on Greg, lighten up."
"Yeah okay. Goodbye!" He said shoving them out.
"Don't be so pushy!" Sara yelled as she and Hannah left.
