Chapter Twelve

Sara stared at Keana's lifeless body. There was one knife in Keana's heart, probably the one that killed her. There was one knife in each wrist, cutting through the bone and sticking into the wall. Just below each knee was a knife, also cutting through the bone and sticking into the wall. The four knives in her wrists and knees supported her weight and held her on the wall, two feet above the ground. Grissom walked outside and called Catherine, Nick, Brass and coroners. He went back inside the house, but Sara wasn't there.

"Grissom!" Sara called from upstairs. Grissom ran up and found her in what looked like Keana's bedroom. He walked inside the pink room and saw Sara staring at the dead body that was lying on the bed. "That's the guy who killed her." Sara said.

"How do you know?" Gil asked.

"His cheap cologne." Sara said, smiling slightly.

"Let's go back downstairs." Grissom said. Sara nodded and walked downstairs, Gil followed. Sara walked outside onto the front porch, Gil still followed. Grissom knew something was wrong with Sara, he could see it in her eyes.

"If my Mother hadn't killed my Father, do you think he would have done something like this?" Sara asked, tears filled her eyes.

"No, you would have been too clever, he wouldn't have found you." Gil said softly.

"Really?" Sara asked, flattered by the compliment.

"Yes." Gil said and smiled at her. Brass, Catherine and Nick walked up the path. Grissom explained where the two bodies were, then the four of them walked inside. Sara stayed outside, thinking about Grissom's comment. The coroners arrived ten minutes later, Sara told them where the bodies were, but she still stayed outside. A few minutes later, the coroners carried out the two bodies. Catherine and Nick walked out of the house. They passed by Sara, not saying a word to her. Gil walked out of the house twenty minutes later and stood by Sara.

"Let's go see Doc. Robbins." Gil said, Sara nodded, the two of them got in the car and drove to the lab.

Sara and Gil entered the morgue and saw Doc. Robbins about ready to put away Keana's body.

"Hi." Sara said.

"Hi guys, here about Keana?" Doc. Robbins asked. Gil nodded. "The stab in her heart was the cause of death. The other stab wounds were post-mortem." He explained

"What about the other guy?" Gil asked.

"Stab wound to his stomach, by the angle of the wound, I'd say he stabbed himself." Doc. Robbins said. Sara nodded.

"Anything else we should know about either of them?" Sara asked.

"Not that I know of." Doc. Robbins said. Sara and Gil walked to DNA and waited for fingerprint results that were on the knife.

"Your fingerprints matched the dead guy on Keana's bed and they are also Keana's Father's prints." Greg said. Catherine bursted into the room.

"Keana's Father faked his death four years ago." Catherine said.

"Well, that's the case." Gil said. "Keana's father kills Keana, then kills himself." Sara nodded and walked out of the room.

Sara looked down at the white coffin. No one else had come to Keana's funeral but her. Who could have come? Keana's whole family was dead. Sara was the closest thing to family that Keana had, before the little girl was killed. Sara held a single white rose in her hand, a few tears fell down her face.

"Hi." Gil said, walking up to her from behind.

"Hi." Sara said and sniffled, trying to hold back the tears now. She tossed the rose she was holding on top of the coffin. Grissom pulled a dozen red roses from behind his back, took one out from the bouquet and tossed the rest onto the coffin. He held the red rose in his hand and smelled its sweet scent.

"You know what?" Sara asked, staring at the white coffin. Grissom looked at her. "I can pretty much picture my funeral to be like this. I don't want no one to be at my funeral." Sara complained.

"It won't be like this." Gil said.

"Why's that?" Sara asked, tears fell down her cheeks.

"Cause I'll be there." Grissom said softly, handing her the rose that was in his hand and kissing her.
