Sorry it took so long. I had other things to do and I had to write this chapter all over again because I lost it once already.

Chapter 6-It was Ryan

"Kristy Marie Sidle, how do you know?" Sara said sternly. Kristy flinched a little and looked down at her feet.

"Um, I was here." she said softly.

"What?" Sara said loudly.

"Sara, calm down." Grissom said.

"I was here." Kristy said a little louder.

"You were here?" Sara asked. Kristy nodded. "Why didn't you tell us?" Sara asked.

"He told me he would kill me if I told anyone what happened." Kristy said as her eyes started to well up.

"The guy that killed you parents told you that if you told anyone he would kill you?" Grissom asked.

Kristy nodded and said "He came and my dad told me to hide in my room, so I did and he came in and killed them. One was shot, the other was stabbed. I heard them scream."

"Kristy, you know we can protect you from that guy." Sara said.

Kristy nodded and said "But not when I'm not with you guys."

"Kristy, don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you." Grissom said.

"I know, but you'll probably need evidence before you put him away. The judge might not listen to what the niece of a CSI says." Kristy said.

"Okay, we'll get evidence, just tell us who killed your parents." Grissom said.

Kristy looked down at her feet and said "It was Ryan." Sara's eyes widened and Grissom looked confused.

"Who's Ryan?" Grissom asked.

Sara ignored his question and said "Your own brother killed your parents.?" Kristy nodded.

"Oh." Grissom said.

"How could he?" Sara asked.

"He was probably drunk beyond belief and was angry and brought his anger out on them. He said he could make more money without parents." Kristy said. Sara sat down on the bed and Grissom sat next to her.

"It reminds you of when you were little, doesn't it?" Grissom said.

Sara nodded and said "I never wanted Kristy to have to go through what I went through, but I guess I failed at protecting her from that." Sara's eyes started to well up and tears slowly, silently cascaded down her cheeks. Grissom reached out and took her hand in his. Kristy looked at them and smiled.

"Sara, you didn't fail. The one who failed was Ryan. He's the one who killed people." Grissom said softly. Sara nodded a little.

"You're right, but it's hard for me to not blame myself. When Kristy was little I always promised her she would be safe and nothing would ever happen to her, but I failed and now her parents are dead and her brother's a murder on the loose." she said.

"Shh. Sara, you didn't fail. Look, Kristy isn't hurt, she's fine." he said softly as she wiped a tear off her cheek.

She smiled a little and said "You're right. We really should start looking for evidence, you know."

"Yeah, I know, but you have to promise, no more crying." he said smiling a little.

She smiled and said "Promise." She got up and started walking toward the door, not realizing that Grissom was still holding her hand. Grissom got up and followed her.

"Hey, I'll call Brass, see if he can find Ryan, okay?" he said. She nodded and he pulled out his cell phone. "Jim, I need you to find a Ryan Sidle. He's wanted for murder." he said.

He hung up and Kristy asked "Who's Brass?"

"He's the Captain of the Police Department. You'll have to meet him sometime." Grissom said.

"Okay." Kristy said.

Thank you to all the people who waited for me to write more. I'm sorry it took so long. I'll try to be quicker on the next chapter. Keep reviewing.
