Dreams Do Come True
Chapter One
Author note: I don't own the characters except for Kayleigh, Nicole and the babies to come later on. Sara and Gil are married, as are Catherine and Warrick and they have been for about 6 months.
Gil and Sara were preparing for the newest crime that they had to solve. A young lady had been killed and left at the side of the road on Highway 93. She had been strangled and then dumped. Sara and Gil got to the sight and once they got to the body, both were taken back by the fact that this victim was only 16 years old. Jim Brass walked up to them and they all starting talking about how this looked a lot like the unsolved murder that they were investigating. Both girls were blond and both were around 5'5 and small in stature.
"Well, it looks like the killer has struck again," Brass commented.
"We can't say that until we find a link between the murders that is undisputable," Grissom responded.
"Hopefully we can find this match," Brass said.
Gil and Sara starting collecting the evidence that they could from the scene, there wasn't very much but they already knew that there wouldn't be because te killer at the last scene didn't leave much. They got all that they could and then they headed back toward the lab because the body would soon be posted. As they walked in the lab, Nick Warrick, and Catherine were walking about of the lab. They were heading out to work on the case that they had from the night before. This was the last night that they would only have six on the night crew because they were getting a new girl the next night. Greg was off for the week on vacation and so they were looking forward to having the new girl to help.
They walked to the morgue and walked in to see Doc Robbins getting ready to start the autopsy on the victim. She looked so innocent on that table. As the autopsy went they discovered that the young lady, who was identified as Jessica Lucas, was raped and so they had the DNA of the rapist/murder. As they finished with Doc they looked at their watches and realized that their shift was almost over.
"Well, we had better get the swabs to DNA, to see if we can find this man," Grissom said.
"Yea, this is an important that we find this man, if we don't then we will never be able to prove this in court," Sara remarked.
They dropped the swabs off with Greg and then went to the break room to look over the pictures of the two murders and the files to see if any of the leads could be followed up to find this man.
Two hours later
They all met up in the break room and laughed as they discussed the case that the trio had just solved.
"Wow, that was a weird case," Nick commented.
"Why," Grissom asked.
"The husband lied and told us that the wife was home when he was at work and really she was out working the street," Nick responded.
"And that got her killed," Catherine finished Nick's thought.
They all had decided that they would go out to eat.
"Tonight, we get out new girl tonight and Homicide gets a new girl also. Brass walked into the room just in time to hear that they are going out to eat and decided to join them. They were all excited to meet the new girls since both were suppose to be young.
Later that night
They all walked into the lab and found a young lady waiting for them. Her name was Nicole Long and she has transferred from New York to Las Vegas.
"OK, group, this is Nikki. She is our new member and she will be working with us for a while. I hope that you will all make her feel welcome," Grissom told the group as he started the shift. "OK, Nikki, Nick and Warrick you three are on a robbery in Henderson. Sara, Catherine you two are with me on the murdered girl from last night. We are examining the unsolved murder too for the link between the cases."
They all went to work. Brass brought Kayleigh down to meet Sara, Catherine and Gil.
"This is Kayleigh Richard, and she has just joined the force," Brass said.
"Isn't she also your girlfriend," Sara asked.
"Yes she is," Brass answered.
"Wow and she now works along side of you," Grissom said.
They all got to work on their case. They had found the link between the two girls. They both had been raped and the DNA was a match between the girls. They had also made a match to a convicted rapist who had been released a week before the first rape and a month before the first rape. "Now all we have to do is find the guy and hope that he doesn't rape again before we can find him," Grissom said.
"We have an APB out and we should find him," Brass said.
Later that shift
Sara and Gil were sitting in his office when Kayleigh came in and asked if she could talk to Sara, so Sara and Kayleigh walked into the break room and starting talking.
"Jim asked me to marry him," Kayleigh said.
"Wow, and you said," Sara asked.
"I told him yes," Kayleigh answered.
Sara and Kayleigh talked for over an hour until the guys came in to see what the girls were doing.
"So Brass when is the wedding?" Sara asked.
"In two months and three weeks," Brass answered questionly.
"I am so happy for you," Grissom said.
Two and half months later
The whole lab was buzzing about the Brass/Richard wedding. Kayleigh had asked Sara and Catherine to be brides maids along with her sister. Brass had asked Warrick, Gil and Nick to be grooms man. All of them were excited to see that Brass had found a loving woman for himself. Gil and Sara laughed about the way that Gil had asked Sara to marry and how she almost didn't tell him yes. They all looked forward to seeing the wedding.
"I believe that you and Jim will make a really cute couple," Sara commented to Kayleigh, while she and Catherine were working on a hit and run accident. The drive had come back after she realized that the bump was a man that was lying in the street.
"Well, this guy has more than one set of tire tracks on his body and so I would say that this lady just hit a dead body that was in the street," Sara said.
"Well, I'm going to get her license and registration so we can get a hold of her if we need too," Kayleigh said.
They all started to realize that this was going to be more than a simple hit and run. Sara and Catherine looked for a second set of tracks that could be attributed to the wreck and they found them rather quickly. It looked as if the person tried to stop but once they hit the guy they speed off to avoid getting caught.
"Well, she gave me all of her information and now she has left. Wow this is very sad that someone could care so little about a life," Kayleigh stated.
"Yea, I wish people could watch closer and would stop when they hit the person, it would make it so much easier on us," Sara said.
Later that evening
"Well, he have isolated the second set of tire tracks and have found a match to the tracks and so now we are looking for a Silver 2003 Toyota Avalon that has damage to the front," Sara said.
"Grissom came and told me that the guy was hit and knocked over and then the person ran over him so it seem less and less like an accident to me," Catherine stated.
Later in the shift, Brass and Kayleigh walked in with a list of five cars that matched the color and make of the hit and run car.
"We will be going take a look at all of those cars and hopefully we will find the car," Brass said.
With that Jim and Kayleigh headed out to try and find all of the cars. After three hours they had seen all but one of the cars and all of those cars were in perfect condition with no damage to them. The last car was a different story. The owner refused to allow them to see the car and so they went to the judge and got the warrant that they needed to see the car. With warrant in hand they went back and finally got the owner to let them see the car. The damage was right where it should have been with hitting the person and so they brought the guy in and started to question him.
"Let's start with you name," Brass said.
"Michael Johnson," The man answered.
"Why did you hit the person and then leave the scene of the accident," Kayleigh asked.
"Because that jerk deserved to die," Michael said.
"Why did he deserve to die," Brass asked.
"Because he got my sister pregnant and then left her to care for the baby, and no one does that to my sister," He responded.
As they walked out of the room, they realized that some people in the world were complete jerks. They went to tell the others that they had caught the guy and he was heading to booking right now.
They all headed home to relax after that shift and get ready for the wedding that was the next day.
At the church everything went to plan that the wedding was beautiful. The reception was wonderful and Mr. and Mrs. Brass were happy that all of their friends were there to share in the celebration with them. After that came the beautiful honeymoon that Kayleigh and Jim were taking to Hawaii. They headed out the next day and were going to be gone for two weeks. Brass and Grissom joked about how the lab was going to have a hard time going on while he was gone since he had been a major part of the lab for several years and knew how to push everyone buttons at just the right time to get everyone to laugh.
The lab went on with their work and worked hard to do the best job that they had ever done since they had some of the hardest cases that they had ever had. They all were counting down the days until the Brass's would be back. Gil and Sara worked hard to finish their case which was a man how had either jumped or been pushed off an overpass bridge. They looked at both way and had finally figured out that the guy had jumped over the edge as the Brass's came walking in for their first day of work after their honeymoon trip.
