The neon glow of the lights outside lit up the room. Danny covered his eyes and moaned.
"Hey Mac, what time is it?"
"You have eyes and a clock, use them." Came a voice from the bed on the other side of the room.
"Crap Mac! It's 9:30pm. We were supposed to be up 4 hours ago." Danny jumped out of bed and pulled on a clean t-shirt.
"I'm going in the shower." Mac said as he rose to his feet.
"Hurry up though, surprisingly I do like to be clean." Danny pulled some slacks on.
"Who'd have guessed!" Came a shout from behind the bathroom door as Danny headed out of the room. He knocked on the girls' door.
"Stella! Lindsay! Time to wake up!" He yelled.
"Go away!" Lindsay yelled back.
"No, we're late." He heard the shuffle of feet and the click of the latch being unlocked. The door opened and Lindsay stood there with a less than amused face. Danny laughed.
"What?" She snapped.
"Not get enough beauty sleep?" He asked noting her messed hair.
"Get lost Messer." The door slammed in his face and he laughed to himself.
An hour later everyone was refreshed and ready to go. They piled into the car and joined the line of traffic.
"Do you know where you're going?" Stella asked.
"Yes I do. Grissom gave me directions earlier." Mac replied as he made the car turn the corner.
"Danny will you get your elbow out of my side?" Lindsay complained from the back seat.
"You're the one who has half a seat next to them."
"Children please! We're almost there so will you shut up?" Mac asked hoping for some peace and quiet.
"If we keep quiet will you and mommy buy us a lollipop each?" Danny asked with a child-like pout.
"Watch it!" Stella warned.
"We're here." Mac announced.
The four detectives got out of the 4x4 and walked through the front doors. Not far past the front desk they ran into Nick.
"Hey guys, you're late." He said.
"We know, we all overslept. Jetlag." Stella explained.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone else is waiting in the break room. It's the room at the end of the hall. I'm off to get some sleep, I've court in the morning."Nick waved goodbye and left through the doors.
Inside the breakroom Warrick and Greg were sat on the couch and Grissom, Catherine and Sara were sitting at the table. There were only 3 seats left so Stella was left standing.
"Here Stel," Mac got up. "Take my seat."
"Thanks Mac."
"He's a real gentleman." Catherine whispered from beside her.
"Yes he is." She replied.
"Ok now that everyone is here we can get to work." Grissom started as he leant forward in his chair."Danny and Lindsay do you mind helping Greg and Warrick proccess the evidence we collected?"
"Sure. Where are we going?" Danny asked.
"Follow us." Warrick said as he and Greg headed out of the room.
"Mac, you and Stella can come with Sara and I to the autopsy." Grissom continued.
"I've got to check up on my last case. I'll see you later." Catherine left the room the others followed closely behind.
The four CSIs stood on one side of the table, Dr. Al Robbins on the other side.
"Was the COD the same as the other cases Doc?" Grissom asked.
"Yes it was. Your vic was raped and then stabbed 4 times in the chest. One wound severed the Aorta. She would have bled out. I sent the sexual assault kit to DNA."
"Can you tell us anything about the weapon?" Mac asked.
"My guess would be a hunting knife." He pointed to the wounds.
"So maybe Andrews is a hunter?" Stella suggested.
"We can try and find out. Thanks Doc."
-------------------------------
"Willows."
"Cath, it's Jim. We got a connection between your vic and her killer. Their brothers went to UNLV together."
"I thought Digby Andrews was from New York."
"No he was born and raised here in Vegas and then he moved to New York a year ago. I spoke to the vic's brother and he said that Andrews was taking revenge on him because he bullied Andrews. Thats why he eventually moved away from here."
"The file from New York said that Andrews has no family."
"Well he does. They didn't know because the brother took their Mother's last name. His name is Matthew Hutnik and he spends most of his time at a warehouse he owns just outside of toww. I've sent a patrol car out there to wait for you."
"Thanks Jim, we'll head out there know." Brass placed his phone on the hook and continued searching through Matthew Hutnik's records.
Catherine found the others in the parking lot.
"Brass found an address for the killers brother. He kives in a warehouse on the outskirts of town. She explained. "I'll drive."
Two 4x4s pulled up outside a beat up warehouse. The group gathered beside the patrol car.
"Right, Mac and I will go in first with the uniform." Grissom said as he checked his gun.
"Since whe did you carry a firearm?" Sara asaked.
"It doesn't matter right now. Ready Mac?"
"Lets go." The officer joined them at the door. Om the count of three he kicked down the door. All the girls saw was a flash of fire.
