Fix Chapter 2

The girl stared at her pointed toes, pointing at the floor as though she were balancing on them, a shudder ran through her.

"Mindy? Can you look at me?" Sara's voice was tender and warm but there was no change in the face of the girl, hidden behind thick chunks of dark hair.

"I want to help you. I want to find out who did this to you but you have to talk to me okay?"

Mindy's head raised but she looked past the CSI at the curtain around her. Her eyes were hollow but searching. Sara knew that look.

"Who are you waiting for? Is there someone I can call?"

A grunt, a begrudging exhalation. "He wouldn't come."

Sara bent to look into the girl's eyes, "Who wouldn't come?"

Gone. Her eyes back to the floor, her fingers worrying the edges of the worn hospital sheet-an image lost on Sara, though it would have been familiar to Dr. Case.

"Mindy? Who wouldn't come? Your dad? Boyfriend?"

"Don't matter."

"I'm going to have to take some pictures of your cuts okay?" Sara readied the camera.

The clicking and flashing seemed to bounce off the invisible wall around the girl, there was no reaction to tell if she even knew it was happening.

In the hall Grissom talked to Mindy's college roommate who had found her, lying in the hall of their dorm, blood running down her face. The roommate left Grissom to approach Sara, "Will she be okay? Did she tell you what happened?"

"Ah, I'm not a doctor…"Sara looked over the roommate and connected eyes with Grissom who gently turned the worried girl toward him, "You can wait here and ask a doctor about her condition. We may have some more questions for you, did you give Officer Rourke your contact information?"

"Yeah, uh, my cell phone number and the dorm number, but I'm thinking I won't be sleeping there tonight."

"If you hear anything please give us a call." Grissom turned to start down the hall away from the roommate, obviously expecting Sara to follow. He stopped when he heard her voice.

"She was watching the curtain like she expected someone, when I asked if there was someone I could call for her she said he wouldn't come anyway. Do you know who she was talking about?"
