"Tell me you have some good news." Sara said when she walked into ballistics.

"Depends on what you call good news."

"Maybe you should just tell her and then she can tell you." Nick suggested.

"Are you always this hyper-logical after you've been around your family?" Sara asked.

"It's what you get for being around that many lawyers."

"There were only four if you include Bill."

"Bobby went to law school."

"No I didn't." Bobby said.

"Not you my brother-in-law Bobby, he's an FBI Agent."

"Guys do you want me to step out for a minute?" He inquired.

"No, just tell us what you found out." Sara told him.

"The gun matches to three homicides of drug dealers. One in Vegas last month. The others were in Utah and Colorado."

"Any suspects?" Sara inquired.

"No." Bobby replied.

"Killing dope dealers would be a way to amass some cash, living dope dealers if they were robbed they wouldn't report it since its illegal earnings." Nick pointed out.

"You think this is drug related?" Sara asked.

"It fits under the category of other on our motive chart."

"Yes."

"The shooter, he tries to rob a dope dealer, which backfires and he gets stabbed. He's pissed and tracks down the dope dealer and bang bang. You said yourself there wasn't enough blood at the crime scene for him to have died from bleeding out there. He could have been bleeding out for a few hours."

"It's a theory." Sara agreed. "Who is your dope dealer?"

"I doubt soccer mom. The bartender was at work from 6."

"The blackjack dealer." Sara crossed her arms.

"It was his night off; he wasn't supposed to be there."

"His financials don't show anything that would indicate that kind of money."

"Who says he keeps his money in a bank?" Nick shrugged.

"Run it by Brass and Catherine, see if they'll let you search his house. I'm going to see Archie, thanks Bobby."

"My pleasure." Bobby replied. "I don't think she's buying your dope dealer explanation." Bobby added after she had left.

"Considering the fact that other than two people in hospital and two dead, she really doesn't have a lot more to go on than supposition. It's a valid an explanation as anything else has and with three dead dope dealers killed with the same gun it has more to back it up than anything she has right now."

"But you're not going to mention that to her."

"No I want to live until tomorrow. Thanks Bobby."

CSI

"Hey Archie." Sara said when she walked into A/V.

"Slowly. I've got the scene set up, I'm just plugging in the bullet holes and ricochets and then I'll add the vics and the shooter.

"You didn't add them first?" Sara questioned.

"We know where the bullets ended up, and where they started, it's like your lasers, this should take another 45 minutes."

"Thanks Archie, do you want some coffee?" Sara offered.

"Coffee would be great." Archie agreed.

"I'll be back."

CSI

"Sara." Catherine said when she found her staring at the motive chart she and Nick had made. She'd added drugs to the list of motives.

"Hey Catherine."

"Did Nick tell you his drug theory?"

"He mentioned it." Sara replied.

"Doc Robbins said the shooter could have been bleeding out over several." Catherine informed her.

"I know I spoke to David."

"Brass managed to convince a judge to get a search warrant for the blackjack dealer's apartment."

"I'm waiting on Archie finishing my virtual reconstruction. We might have a better idea who he was aiming at."
