I don't own CSI, but, I'd like to. winkgrin


"Alright guys lets go over what know, we have the children, ages nine to ten, stabbed through heart, and according to Doc ours was molested before being murdered." Grissom filled in first.

"Ours was molested as well, so now we know they are related so now what?" Warrick asked sitting back.

"Well, Cath match prints found at the scene to a Mr. Williams though no one has seen him in a few days, a friend says he toke a trip to the lake and hasn't returned yet." Grissom told them.

"At least nick isn't here for this case it would tear apart." Cath spoke quietly all eyes turned to her all questioning, and she realized she'd spoken out loud.

"Nick told he was molested by a last minute babysitter when he was nine." Cath explained looking like she would be sick, eyes grew large and tears brimmed, mouths fell open, and there was an audible gasp from every occupant of the room.

"Why wasn't i told of this?" Grissom asked he voice raising a few octaves.

"He only told me during a case we worked together a months ago, he swore me to secrecy, I probably shouldn't have even told you." Cath explained still staring at an interesting spot on the table in front of her.

"Well, thank heaven for small mercies, I hope Nick's having a good time out at the lake this week end." Warrick sighed sitting heavily next to Cathrine.

"How did he luck out to hat, i thought he said he didn't put into for vaca time?" Gris asked.

"Who knows maybe some else did it for him, I mean hell every one in the lab knows hoe hard he's been working to close that homicide last week, maybe some one decided he should take a vacation." Sara suggested.

"Lets not dwell on it for now, lets worry about finding the parents of these to little boys." and they split up to find the parents of the boys.

"Ah ha his names is Nathan Adams, son to Scott and Patricia Adams, address is 141 south duns street." Sara read off to Warrick who grabbed his keys and jacket and they toke off.

"Mr. And Mrs. Adams, is your sons name Nathan?"Sara asked, they were standing on the door step of a rich looking house in one the richest neighborhoods in Vegas staring at a couple in their late forties, they showed signs of worry and fatigue.

"Yes thats a boy is something wring, is he hurt?" Mrs. Adams asked. The two investigators looked at each other charing a look, then Sara turned back the Adams.

"May we come in and talk with about your son?' She asked nicely. Once they were all settled in the living room, Sara and Warrick shared another and look and Warrick sighed.

"I'm Afraid he dead, his body was found a few blocks of your home," He informed them and then watched them fall apart.

"We're very sorry for your lose, but, we need to ask you some questions that may help us determine what happened to him." He continued."Aythignt i help find the person who did this to our baby." Mr. Adams agreed.

"Mrs. Grigs I'm Gil Grissom and this is Catherine willows we're from the Las Vegas crime lab my we come in,":HE asked she nodded and let them in guiding them to the living area they sat and Gil toke a deep breath.

"What's this about, did you find Sammy?" She asked grabbing a tissue from box that sat on the table.

"I'm Afraid i have some bad news, your son was found in an ally in a dumpster." Grissom Explained the women nodded quietly, as her quiet sobs filled the house, the senior CSI squirmed uncomfortably.

"How?" She asked, when she'd managed to calm her self a bit

"He was assaulted and stabbed." Cathrine informed.

"He didn't suffer, he dead in peace?" He asked as if this bit of information could give her peace.

"Yes ma'am I believe he did." Grissom spoke up.

By the time Nick had made it back to his cabin the incoming storm clouds and let loose a torrential downpour. he stood on his porch dripping wet, and shivering as he tried to fit the key in the lock. Finally after struggling for five minutes he flung the door open and, slamming it behind him, ran for a hot shower.

'Much better.' he thought as he came out of the bathroom toweling off what little hair he had, he tossed the towel by his suitcase and went to look out the window at the rain.

"Man the first vacation I've had in months and it rains, how uncool is that." he said aloud to no one in particular. He settled on the sofa with a blanket and picking up a bird book he'd brought along, he became lost with in the pages of colorful birds.

Over the next day the team in Vegas continued to work the serial homicide of Nathan Adams, and Samuel Grigs.

" Man our only suspect is no where to be found i suppose one of us could go check at the lake.." Warrick suggested, hoping Gris would go for it, he wanted harass Nick while he relaxed and every one else worked.

"Alright Warrick you can go but, i can't send any one with you, now you can ask nick to help you. But i wouldn't hold my breath." Grissom grinned at Warrick who returned the smile with one of his own then he turned and left heading to his truck and leaving the lab for the lake.

In a cabin by the lake...

A phone rings and a large hand reaches to answer it.

"Hello,"

"Very well I'll see to it,"

"No every things under control I'll Be finished with my business shortly." He hung up and grinned manically.

"Well Nicky it seems your time has run out tomorrow I'll be rid of you for ever." He laughed stabbing the picture of nick with a large scary looking knife. As he continued to laugh maniacally.

Nick jolted awake to the sound of an angry boom of thunder, and looked around confused for a moment, until memory resurfaced and he knew where he was. He had been having the strangest dream about some maniac chasing him in the woods.

'Shake it off Stokes it's just your mind on overdrive' Nick chastised himself for being so childish as to be Afraid of a man he ran into in the woods the day before. It was morning no as light was pouring in through the window, no sun though he realized as thunder sounded again. Nick stretched and pulling himself from the warmth of the blanket, went to the bathroom to shower and start the day.


Well there it is the next chapter in this story, and don't worry I am still writing on the other one too. Thank for your kind reviews, and a note to you I changed some things in the first chapter about the first murder so this one would make sense.
