Okay, sorry for the waiting! I'm not so sure on this chapter, and the last two I put in, but, anyway, here it is!
--------------------------
Grissom looked through the papers on his desk once again. There was something they were missing. They still didn't know the cause of death, when they did the case would probably go better, but until then he didn't know what to do. A knock at door made him pull back to reality. Sara's head appeared when he said 'Come in'. She stepped in with a grin on her face.
"We've got two suspects." She stated. Grissom was impressed, she could tell by the look on his face. He raised an eyebrow when she didn't say anything else. "Thomas Gray and Matthew Reed." She handed over the papers.
"Fingerprints?" She nodded. "But we still don't have a murder weapon, fingerprints from what?"
"Different places: the door knob, the table, the floor around the body had a whole hand with blood. The blood is from the victims, but the fingerprints are from Gray and Reed."
"Good work." He said. "Where are the others at?"
"Catherine is doing a background check and Warrick and Nick are on their way to Reed." Grissom was about to say something more but his phone rang.
"Grissom. Oh, okay, I'll be right there." He hung up the phone and looked up at Sara. "Now we know the cause of death." Grissom stood up from the chair and walked out of his office.
"Grissom? Grissom!" Sara called after him, when he didn't respond she ran after him. "I'm coming with you." She stated and the two of them walked down to Dr. Robbins.
The bodies were lying on two metal tables. Dr. Robbins was standing by Kate. Sara walked up to Sophie first. She looked at the young, blond woman. She looked as if she was sleeping. She didn't have the same bruises as Kate had on the face.
"Broken neck." Dr. Robbins said. "Although the bruises may have caused it too, but a broken neck like this is nothing you survive, and the blood lost isn't that much as it seems."
Sara approached the two older men and looked down on the young brunette. She looked a lot like Sara; she felt that feeling in her gut, the feeling that came back every time she got the case of an abused woman. She could feel Grissom glancing at her. Sara had always had a problem with these cases. She didn't want to hear more than necessary, so she left the room.

Warrick sat quiet when Nick pulled out the car and began their journey.
"So, have you heard anything from the mystery girl?"
"Yeah, actually." He replied.
"So?" Warrick was waiting, but Nick was going to have him hanging for a minute.
"We're going out again."
"Well tell me something about her! Blond or brunette? Younger or older? Is she clever? What does she do for a living? What does she like? What is her name!" Nick grinned at his friend.
"She's a brunette, she's my age and she's really clever…" Warrick could see Nick smiling to himself. His eyes were filled with something he hadn't seen there before.
"You really like this girl don't you?" Nick turned to face him just for a second and Warrick knew the answer. "Man, you're lost! She's got you now…" he said, but Nick just laughed. "So what's her name?" Nick considered pulling over to answer, but came to the conclusion that it was better if he just kept on driving. He could hear Sara's voice echoing in his head 'He's not just your co-worker, he's your friend and if he keeps asking you should tell him.'
"Her name's Sara."

Greg danced around the room with the music turned up loud. He had closed the door in case that Grissom would come by. A knock on his shoulder made him jump up in the air he quickly turned around hoping he wouldn't have to face Grissom's angry look.
"Hey." Sara said and took her hand of his shoulder. Greg grinned big. 'Hi Sara, wanna go out on a date? See, it's easy to think, now say it!' He thought when he saw that familiar face.
"Hi…" Was all he managed to press out his mouth. Sara turned of the music and looked at him.
"Found anything new?"
"Not yet, sorry."
"That's okay, I guess you've been busy dancing. I just wanted to see if you had anything…"
"Well, I gave you the fingerprints and the blood samples from the room should be ready any minute…"
They stood there talking about the case for a while until a little beep interrupted them. Greg took the paper from the printer and glanced at it. His face got a confused look.
"What?" Sara asked holding out her hand. Greg gave her the paper and said:
"Kate Roberts was pregnant. Did you know that?" Sara shook her head slowly.
"No… Maybe she was just a few weeks pregnant, do you think she knew?"
"Well, she had to be at least three weeks pregnant otherwise I wouldn't have seen it on the blood test, so I guess yeah, three weeks right?"
"Three weeks, she should have known." Sara said and left the room. She bumped into Catherine on her way to Grissom's office.
"Hey, what've you got?" She asked the younger woman. Sara held out the papers.
"Kate Roberts was pregnant!"
"How long?" Catherine asked.
"Three weeks."
"She probably knew."
"Yeah, the question is, did the father know?"
"Yeah, or more likely, did she know who the father was? It couldn't have been the boyfriend, he got out of jail a week ago, and he had been there for a month." Sara looked thoughtful.
"What about you? What've you found?"
"Let's go in and tell you both at the same time, that way I don't have to repeat everything." The two women walked into Grissom's office. He looked up his papers and looked tiered.
"What've you got?"
"Kate Roberts was pregnant, three weeks, which means she probably knew about it, but the father couldn't have been Grey since he was in jail for the moment."
"Yeah I know, Doc Robbins told me, right after you left." Grissom said. Sara let out an 'oh' sound and Catherine took over:
"Anyway, that was the second time he was in jail. First time when he was 23 years old, stayed in for a year. Second time for a month. His friends paid him out, he has one year of community service. He has a record of speed tickets and been caught several times doing drugs. Matthew Reed's got pretty much the same life story. He's been in jail once, six years ago for drug dealing. Now he works at a gas station right outside town."

Yeah, I know it sucks… But please review anyway!
