Chapter 3
Sara's POV
"I did, I killed the man" the girl answered. I couldn't believe it, how could this little girl who couldn't be more than five or six kill someone.
"Why" I ask not believing her.
"Because he was hurting my sister" she answered looking at her feet.
"Your sister?" I say puzzled "the other girl, shes your sister."
"Yes"
"Is she dead?" the girl asks. It takes me a moment to answer, shes so young but she needs to know the truth.
"Yes, she is" I finally answer her. I'm surprised when she just looks at me, I half expected her to cry or something.
"What are you going to do with me" she looks at me with fearful eyes.
"Well I guess you can come back with me to my work and we'll see where we go from there" I say putting my hand on her cheek and looking her in the eyes.
She flinches and then without cause she wraps her arms around my neck and whispers "Sakura."
"What" I ask confused.
"That's my name, Sakura."
I hold her tighter to me and lift her up. The officer gives me a confused look as I walk past him holding Sakura in one arm and a bunch of evidence bags in the other but I don't stop to give him an explanation. After loading all of the evidence in my Tahoe and making sure Sakura is strapped in I drive to the CSI HQ. When I walk the doors everyone gives me weird looks when they notice the little girl wrapped in my oversized coat clinging to my hand. Catherine immediately spots me and walks over a shocked expression on her face.
"Can I help you with those" she asks pointing to the bags.
"Yeah" I reply happily handing them over.
She bends down to Sakuras level "And what's your name" she asks.
I watch as Sakura cringes at her words and holds tighter to my hand. Not wanting to upset her I answer Catherine's question. "Her names Sakura, I found her at the crime scene"
"She's a suspect."
I watch as my words sink in and Catherine looks up at me a confused "What do you mean suspect?"
"Can we talk about this later, I really would like to get Sakura to a less active place" I say to her looking around at all the people. I know Sakura is scared by the way shes holding my hand like its her life line. Catherine only nods her head and leads us to an empty interrogation room.
"I'm gonna take this stuff to Greg, um Sara would you mind accompanying me" She asks looking at me with that 'we need to talk' look in her eyes. I look at her but I don't protest. Before we leave I bend down so I'm eye level with Sakura.
"Okay I'll be right back I promise, don't worry you'll be safe in here."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
