"So what's the verdict Mia?" Sara asked.

"I'm still running the tests. It takes a few hours, you know that Sara. But I'll let you know as soon as I know anything."

"Thanks Mia." Sara hung up.

"Sara, it takes time to run a DNA sample it's not like spraying Luminol and getting an instant result." Grissom reminded her.

"I know." Sara sat down.

"Is something bothering you, you were in a better mood early."

"I just remember something I'd forgotten about earlier that's all."

"Anything I can help with?" Grissom inquired.

"It's just something that happened a long time ago." Sara replied. "I'm fine."

"Tell Nick if you don't want to tell me. Talking about these things can help."

"Hasn't helped for the last twenty years, I doubt it will now. But thanks for the advice."

"Sara, Grissom. His lawyer got into a little fender bender so he's going to be a while if you want to go back to the lab. We'll page you when he gets here."

"We'll wait." Grissom said.

"Okay there is nothing here." Nick said as they finished go over Justin's residence.

"He's obviously not been here long." Catherine said.

"How long does it take you to trash a hotel room?"

"I have a daughter I don't get to stay in hotel rooms very often." Catherine pointed out.

"Most people end up with things around them clothes dropped on the floor, you make yourself at home, especially if you're staying anywhere for an extended period of time. This place isn't exactly high class."

"So you're saying the place is too clean."

"Apparently a place can never be too clean, but don't you think it's too clean especially for an apparently single guy?"

"Either someone cleaned up or he's actually staying somewhere else."

"It's possible."

"Then I think we're down to the print." Catherine said glancing at her watch. "Let's head back go over what we have and then everything can wait until we have to come in early for tomorrow."

"How early are we talking?" Nick asked.

"Five. If we take the computer fingerprint machine we can run the prints against the one we have and find a match that way we should be done before the show goes on stage and we can probably go home before we start shift and I can get make sure my kid gets to bed at a decent hour."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Hey Nicky." Catherine said.

"Yes?"

"Be in the break room at the end of shift."

"What's going on?" Nick asked.

"You'll have to wait and see. Oh and don't kill Greg."

"I wasn't planning on it." Nick said. "But that doesn't include not making him squirm."

"Hey Nick." Warrick said when he saw him. "Greg I'll be back in a minute."

"Hey man how's the case going."

"Vic was pregnant, and I think Sara's taking trying to find out who she was a little too seriously."

"You know how Sara is about certain cases."

"Can we go in here?" Warrick suggested.

"Okay." Nick agreed. "What's up man?"

"I thought I should give you a quick heads up."

"About what?"

"I was talking to Sara earlier. She didn't remember until she had to write the date down. Today is the 19th anniversary."

"Of the day her Dad died." Nick finished. "I knew it was this month but I didn't know when exactly. Thanks for the heads up."

"No problem, she says she's okay. That it was a long time ago. I just thought you should know."

"Thanks."
