Chapter Eleven
"Sara?" Grissom asked.
"I heard what she said, we have to help." Sara said. Grissom got up and got his coat, Sara did the same. Grissom got to the hospital in less than ten minutes, and Sara ran out of the car as soon as they got there. Catherine walked out of the building and saw Sara running towards her.
"Sara, I think you're too attached to Keana. I don't think you should be on the case." Catherine said, stopping the brunette from running inside.
"I have to, Catherine." Sara argued. Gil walked up behind them.
"Gil, I think you're a bit attached too." Catherine commented.
"I can deal with it, and Sara needs to help too." Gil said. Catherine nodded and Sara and Grissom walked into the building.

Sara, Gil, Catherine and Nick had searched the whole hospital for evidence, they looked at the security tapes, nothing. An hour later, the four of them met up at the front doors.
"I didn't find anything." Catherine said.
"Same here." Nick said.
"Now what do we do?" Sara asked.
"Sara, did you scratch the guy that came to your apartment, or somehow get his DNA." Gil asked. Sara shook her head.
"He was wearing a jacket, he... he had cheap cologne on though." Sara said.
"It's not much, but it helps." Catherine said. Sara nodded. Catherine and Nick walked away to continue their search, leaving Sara and Grissom alone.
"Sara, I think you should get some rest, you didn't sleep at all last night." Gil said. Sara looked at the ground and avoided his eyes.
"I would, but I wouldn't be able to fell asleep, I'd be worried about Keana." Sara explained. Grissom knew it was true, but he also knew that she was probably exhausted. Gil tucked a few stray strands of hair that was in Sara's eyes behind her ear. Sara smiled at the gesture.
"I doubt he left anything behind here." Gil said.
"Did the cameras get anything?" Sara asked. Grissom shook his head.
"Just a blur." Gil said simply. Sara nodded and sighed.
"If he left anything at my apartment, we would have noticed, right?" Sara asked. Grissom nodded, he remembered the two of them sitting in silence for ten minutes, he didn't leave anything behind there either.
"Do you want to go for a drive?" Gil asked. "It'll clear your mind." He added. Sara nodded.
"Ok." She said, walking out of the hospital arm-in-arm with Grissom.
---
They drove around for ten minutes, the ride had helped clear her mind, somewhat. Gil stayed quiet, he figured she wouldn't want to talk just yet. Sara stared out the window, lost in her thoughts.
"Hey Grissom?" Sara asked. "Can we drive by Keana's house?"
"I guess so." He said as he made a U-turn and started to drive towards Keana's house. "Why?" He asked.
"I have an idea." Sara said. Gil didn't like the sound of it, he hoped she was wrong.
Thirty Five Minutes Later
Grissom pulled into the driveway of the little house, he took the keys out of the ignition and waited for Sara to say something. He looked at the house, it was dark, the whole house looked dead.
"Can we go inside?" Sara asked, looking over at Grissom.
"It is a crime scene, so I guess we can." Grissom said and smiled. Sara smiled back and got out of the car. The two of them walked up the path that lead to the front door. Sara looked at the front door, it was left open ajar, Grissom had noticed it too. Sara slowly pushed open the door, it creaked open to reveal the dark hallways. Gil entered the small house and felt around for a light switch and flicked it on. Sara entered the house and looked straight at the dead girl pinned up on the wall.
"Keana..." Sara whispered through the tears.
