Busted
Blood Diamonds

Darkness surrounded Miami as the city came to life. The night owls of the busy city came out to play. The loud thumping music of the night clubs boomed as the beautiful lights flashed. Most of the CSIs had headed home for the night or had gone out to enjoy their free time. Except one that were working late into the night. The female had pulled her hair up into a tight pony tail as she leaned over the lab table. Under the microscope was a small diamond, which she appeared to be examining. She leaned away from the microscope with a sigh. "Blood diamonds." She muttered softly. "Blood diamonds?" The familiar voice of her partner made her jump. "What are you doing here, Speedo?" She raised a brow, her breathing now returning to normal. "I think they question is… Why are you still here?" He contradicted as he sat his biker helmet on the other counter. "Because I have no life." Sam smirked, looking back through the microscope. "So what exactly are 'blood diamonds'?" He asked, leaning on the counter. "Illegally distributed diamonds. Usually from central and west Africa… They sell them to profit wars and human rights abuses." She answered, looking over at him. "How do you know so much?" He couldn't help, but ask with a suspicious hint in his voice. "Ah. I have a friend that loves diamonds. The legal kind." She added quickly, glancing at him from the corner of her eye. "So the diamonds are real then." He took his turn looking through the microscope. "Mhm. Very real." "Anyway to trace them?" He then asked. "Nope. But… I have a plan." She smirked deviously. "Oh really? Do tell."

When dawn broke the next day Sam and Speed were standing outside the busy zoo once again. They were talking amongst their selves when Allison came rushing up to them. "I heard you guys got a break in the case?" She seemed excited as she looked at them. "You could say that." Speed didn't feel like going into details with her. "We need to get back to work." Sam spoke up, wanting to be as polite as possible. "Oh, yea. Sorry about bothering you." She apologized with a slight blush of embarrassment on her cheeks. After she had left Sam looked up at Speed, "How'd she know?" "I don't know. But I'd like to find out. Come on." He headed into the zoo to investigate a little more. Sam hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself. Once she thought about everything, it all seemed to piece together slowly. Soon she followed after Speed. She still hadn't clearly put everything into prospective yet, but she could feel she was getting close. With all the evidence, there was still something missing. Something crucial, though she didn't know what. During her pondering time, she hadn't realized Speed had stopped, and because of this, she bumped right into him. "Hm? You alright? You seem a little preoccupied." He looked over his shoulder at her. She merely shook her head. "Mr. Debrowsky will see you now." The secretary escorted them into his office.

"So are you here to accuse me and harass me some more?" He asked roughly. Earlier in the morning, Speed had advised Sam to keep quiet during their little interview. Well, more like he ordered. So she just leaned back against the wall and let him do his thing. "We found some evidence that proves you were smuggling diamonds from Africa by using Simba's cage as a cover." Speed confronted him as he placed pictures of the diamonds and Simba's cage on Mr. Debrowsky's desk. He took one look at the pictures before saying, "You have no proof that it was me. It could have been one of my employee's for all you know." "Right now. We've got some detectives talking to Justice. And believe me, he's going to roll on you." Speed shot back, keeping his never ending cool. "He's got nothing to say." He scoffed. "You really think he's going to spend twenty-five years to life in jail for you?" He raised a brow. There was a moment of silence before he suddenly shifted his sight to the girl leaning quietly against the wall. "Why are you so quiet? Have nothing insulting to say to me? I bet your partner silenced you." A crooked smirk came to the arrogant man's face. "I think you should worry about your own well being." Speed interrupted. "Like I said before. Justice has nothing to say." Mr. Debrowsky sneered. At that point, Sam raised her fist and tapped lightly on the door beside her. The door slowly swung open and Justice stood there in handcuffs. "Really now? So Justice are you going to be the only one going down for Dean's murder?" Sam raised a brow. "Hell no. I'll give a statement. I'll tell you all you people need to know." Justice glared towards his former boss. "Don't you say anything, Justice. I swear you'll regret it." Mr. Debrowsky shot up out of his chair, matching Justice's own glare. "He's got nothing to lose. And you're not in the position to threaten other's." Speed interjected the two. "Explain what happened, Justice." He then ordered. "Mr. Debrowsky told me he'd give me half of the diamonds if I were to off Dean for him. He's been smuggling them into the US since a few years ago. Dean found out when him and Allison were testing to see if the diamonds were real or not." Justice's last comment made Sam's eyes widen. "Allison?" She inquired. "Yea. That broad. She's in on it too. It was both their idea to kill Dean so he couldn't tell the police." Justice nodded. "Arrest Allison and Mr. Debrowsky." Speed ordered to the officers. With that, they took the other two into custody. Allison was found heading towards the airport. Thankfully the police were able to capture her before she made it out of the state. She was more then likely heading out of Miami's jurisdiction.

Once back at the lab, via Speed's bike, Horatio met them at the door. "Good job, you two. I knew you'd figure it out sometime. You both should get some rest now." He slid on his signature sunglasses. "Rest? Rest… I'm going to bed." She twitched, dragging her feet as she shuffled passed him. "She did a good job, Horatio. She was up all night and even though she won't admit it. It was mostly her work." Speed nodded as he then followed Sam into the huge building. Horatio smiled to himself as he watched the two leave. "I heard you two completed the Simba case." Calleigh smiled as she passed them as they were stepping off the elevator. "Mhm. Yea. It was mostly Speed." Sam yawned, walking passed her also. "Oh really?" Calleigh turned back to Speed. "No. She's lying." He shook his head and went after her again. "Are those two partners now or something?" Delko seemingly appeared out of no where. "I don't know." They looked after them. Sam kept stumbling and tripping over nothing. "Is she alright?" Delko looked at the girl funny. "Long night. No sleep." Calleigh smiled as she stepped onto the elevator. "Hm…" Delko followed pursuit.

"Sleepy. Sleepy. Sleepy." Sam collapsed on the couch in the staff room. "You can't sleep here. You have to go home." He poured himself a cup of coffee. "I dun wanna go home. It's too far away." She whined softly, rolling over on the couch so her back was to him. "I'll take you home. That way you won't get in a car crash by falling asleep at the wheel." He took a sip of coffee. She shook her head quietly. "Come on." Slowly he got up and leaned over her. She looked so peaceful, just laying there. "Hey… Wake up…" He spoke softly, shaking her shoulder lightly. She made a small noise, "Leave me alone…" "Not until you're off the couch." He shot back, his voice still gentle. With a small sigh, she opened her eyes half way and looked at him. "Speedo. Shoo. Shoo." He sighed heavily, that nickname really annoyed him, and he knew she knew that. "Fine." He shook his head, irritated again. He stood up and she turned away from him once again. With that she felt the calmness of sleep over take her. Though she never saw Speed place the extra blanket over her sleeping body. "Goodnight. I'll see you later." He mumbled, picking his jacket up, and leaving the staff room.

Woo! Case solved!
Lame ending, I know.
But I was running out of ideas.
-Pout-
Anyway!
R&R, m'loves.
