Chapter 6

Meanwhile, Warrick and Nick were waiting for the tow truck to arrive as they saw Alice Kenner returned home. Nick flipped open his cell, and dialed Brass.

"Yeah?"

"Brass? It's Nick. We're still at the Kenner's residence. Guess who just came home?"

"Isn't O'Riley with you guys?"

"He was called to a 419"

"I'm on my way. Stay where you are" was the only answer Nick got, and the captain had already hung up on him.

Still staring at his cell he shrugged. "Guess he's not in a talking mood"

It took the captain only ten minutes to cruise through traffic and reach the Kenner residence, and as he exited his Taurus he was greeted by Warrick who walked over to him.

"Where's our Texan jock?" Brass asked looking around for the square-jawed Texan.

"Grissom called. That 419 O'Riley had been called to? Well Nick's working on that case now."

"Alrighty then" Brass said as he and Warrick walked over to the front door, but not before Warrick had pointed him to the SUV.

The captain knocked on the door, and after a few seconds it opened. A short blonde haired woman stood in the doorway.

"Alice Kenner?"

"Yes?"

"I'm captain Jim Brass, I'm with the LVPD. This is Warrick Brown, crime scene investigator."

"Crime scene? What is going on here?" Alice asked worried.

"Could you please step outside ma'am?"

Complying to the man's request, Alice Kenner walked onto the porch.

"Please turn around and place your hands on your back" Brass said sternly.

"WHAT! No! What's this all about?"

"Ma'am" Warrick tried "It's in your interest if you cooperate"

Brass, no longer wanting to waist time, grabbed his handcuffs and stepped towards a now very angry Alice Kenner.

Placing her hands in the cuffs he told her "You're under arrest on suspicion of manslaughter caused by a hit-and-run"

Totally confused and becoming more and more frustrated Alice Kenner said "What! I haven't done anything…I've been at home…"

Brass started off in the direction of his Taurus, pulling Alice along.

"Wait! Wait…My daughter is inside…I can't leave her!"

Warrick looked over at Brass, and nodded, understanding the look the Captain gave him. Walking inside the tall dark man saw a little girl lying in a playpen. After carefully picking her up he walked over to a baby seat and placed her in it.

Together with Brass and Alice Kenner, Warrick and the baby girl –called Emma– walked towards Brass's Taurus.

As Warrick fastened the seat in the back of the car the tow truck arrived, and by the time Brass had drove off the SUV had carefully been placed at the back of the truck.

Riding along with the tow truck (since Nick had taken the Tahoe to the 419) Warrick now was on his way to the CSI HQ, to the garage to be more precisely.

Sara and Catherine opened the door of the diner and walked out. Waving once more to Libby Sara said "She's quite the character, isn't she?"

Throughout their dinner Sara had noticed how Libby kept staring at her with this mad grin on her face while Catherine had been…embarrassed. 'Hmmm first time I've seen her that embarrassed…very cute though' she added mentally.

"Yeah" Catherine answered "She is" Of course, the mad grin of the old waitress also hadn't gone unnoticed by Catherine.

"We should do this more often" Sara said after they had been walking in silence towards the CSI building.

"I'd love that" Catherine answered sincerely. Looking over at the brunette she felt a shiver run through her spine, but before she realized what was going on they had reached the glass doors of the building.

Opening the door for Catherine Sara added "And next time I'm buying."

"Catherine, Sara wait up!" Warrick said as he walked towards them.

"I just got here with the SUV" he started, and looking over at Catherine he continued "Brass has Alice Kenner at the PD. I asked him to wait with the interrogation till you got there"

"Thanks Warrick. I'll meet you guys later"

Catherine walked off, but before she rounded the corner she turned back and said "Have fun with those power tools!"

Although this was more directed at Sara –whose face was showing a full-blown gap-toothed smile because of Catherine's remark– Warrick was the one who spoke up shaking his head.

"Later Cath"
