Catherine looked at Nick. She was surprised. Sara never talked about her brother. And their conversation had left her with a sad feeling. Although she didn't know why.

"I'll go and get Grissom and the rest." Nick said when he saw Catherine deep in her thoughts. She nodded.

Somehow she didn't mind staying here watching the tape all day. Something had made her curious and she suddenly wanted to know more about Sara and Russ. It was a shame they hadn't found anything helpfull yet.

"Well, and he turned out to be her brother and- Oh well, just watch it." He nodded at Catherine who showed them what they had been watching just a few minutes ago.

"Okay...Greg, you're going to find out as much as possible about Russ... Catherine, you-" Grissom was cut of by her.

"Would you mind is I just stay here and watch?" She hoped she didn't have to explain.

"Em... sure. Nick, you come with me. Oh and Warrick, you just stay with Catherine." Grissom ordered. Warrick nodded and took a seet next to Catherine.

"So, what are they doing now?" He asked looking at her.

"Nothing, just trying to sleep, I guess." She stared back at the screen. Warrick sighed. This was going to be a long day...

¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦

Sara woke up when the door opened. Another man was pushed into the room.

"I can get in a room myself! No need to push!" He yelled, but the door was already closed and locked. Sara walked up to him.

"Sssssh" She laid a finger on her lips and pointed to Russ, who was still sleeping.

"We both know he won't wake up..." The man said chuckleling. His skin was a bit tanned. He was probably from southern America. He spoke with a Spanish accent, too. He had brown eyes and his black hair hung in plaits in his neck.

"You okay Josh?" She asked him. He nodded and looked around.

"Well, how come you guys got a better room than I did?" He asked smiling.

"Get that grin of you're face, will you! This is not funny!" She was a bit angry that he wasn't taking this seriously.

"Sssssh...You don't want to wake him..." He pointed at Russ. The grin still on his face.

"Oh, just shut up." She whispered angry.

"Look, don't be so nervous, girl... It's not like this is the first time we're locked up somewhere..." He sat down and so did Sara. "You remember that time we broke into the school?" She looked at the floor. And she smiled when she recalled that night...

"Come on!" A young Sara was pulling her brother's arm into the direction of their school. She was small, much smaller than the two guys.

They were fifteen, all of them. Russ's hair was a bit longer that it was now. And Josh's was in plaits, but now covered with a baseball cap. Sara's hair was in plaits, too. They were a bit longer than Josh's. She wore a pair of jeans that were a bit too big for her, and a army printed tank-top. Her orange sneakers looked like they had costed way more than she could effort. Josh was waring his training pants and a big grey sweater, and he had a shining earring in his left ear.

"So, where is it?" Josh looked around to check if no one was following them.

"Well, we went to bed at about five in the morning. But I couldn't really sleep so I thought I'd just go to school for once. Since I was already awake. And in the break I found the hole." Her voice was filled with exitement.

They stood at the back of the school now. Sara pointed up.

"See, we can make so much trouble!" She rubbed her hands against each other.

"Yeah, and we could get in so much trouble..." Russ said. But then he smacked his head with his hand. "What am I talking about? Let's go!"

After a long argue, they decided Sara had to go first. They lifted her so she could reach the hole in the window and she ealily climbed through it. After all, this wasn't the first time she had done this. Russ and Josh came up with a bit more trouble. They were bigger and the hole wasn't that big!

They were all in and decided to go to the cafeteria. But suddenly they heared people talking.

"Shit! Come here quick!" Sara hid under a table and the boys followed her example.

"So here it is... See, the window is broken and it's getting colder these days so if you could do something that would be nice..."

It was their principal, they knew. Not that they really spent much time in school, but if they were in school they would spend the most time in his office.

"Who do you think that did this?" The other guy asked him.

"I don't know... The usual trouble makers, I guess. The Sidles and that Rodriques kid..." The three kids looked at each other. The same grin on each face. They sure were proud of their reputation in school.

After a while the two men left and they left their hiding spots. Sara and Josh followed Russ back to the window. It was shut with tape.

"So, how are we gonna get out of here?" Josh asked a bit worried.

"Em... someone have a knife in their pockets?" Russ tried not to sound worried by making a joke.

"Yeah, I always have one in my pocket..." Sara said. Russ laughed, but he soon noticed he was the only one.

"Dude, I think she's serious." Josh pointed at Sara, who was flipping the knife open and getting a chair to cut the tape...

"Yeah that was fun... But we were exidently locked up, Josh. Not kidnapped!" She was starting to get more worried with the second. It was like it just set in that they might not even survive this.

"We're gonne get out, girl. No worries." He took her hand in his and laid on the cold floor. "The floor in the other room was softer..." She laughed at his joke.

"Hey, shut up in there!" That was the first time Sara heared their kidnapper's voice. She immedeately sat up.

"What, you recognize him?" Josh sat up, too.

Sara closed her eyes and tried to think who the voice belonged to. And then she knew it. "It's my uncle...You know, the one that was supposed to take care of my and Russ when... when..." He knew what happened, and he also knew she couldn't talk about it. He took her hand again.

"But he left, a few weeks after your dad died right?"

"Yeah, it wasn't really much of a surprise... He was my father's brother, I mean." She looked at her hands and sighed.

"You think it would have been better if he had raised you and Russ?" Josh laid down again.

She looked at him, thinking. "Sometimes I do think how different my life would have been if he was caring for us and if he would have raised us... But the way he was, he would have only made things worse, I guess... And if he hadn't left, we would have never get stuck with you as a roommate..." She smiled when memories floated in her head once more...

Three kids laid on the floor, the couch and partly on the table, partly on the couch. There were too many empty beer bottles and sigarrets on the floor to count.

They were sixteen and last night was just one of those nights where they would just drink averything they could. Trying to wash away all the memories of the past week, in which they really succeaded. Sara, who was lying on the floor, opened her eyes and was surprised by the pain that ran though her head.

"Jesus!" She moaned as she closed her eyes again.

Russ was still sleeping deeply. He always slept the longest. Josh was lying on the couch. "We should go to school..." He managed to sit up.

"Are you crazy!" Sara tried to sit, too, but failed and let herself fall back on the floor.

"It... it could be worse..." Josh tried to sound like he beliefed in his words, but it wasn't really working.

"Well, you're certainly not having the same headache as I am!" He laughed at her remark, which only made her moan again and place her hand over her ears.

"Sorry..." He appologised for laughing that hard. "I guess you have the worst hangover... you drank the most last night..."

"Do you even remember a thing of last night?" She asked in disbelief. He grinned. Not a thing, he thought. They had succesfully washed away all of the memories... and it felt great...

"We did everything so wrong..." He sighed. "We drank..."

"We smoked..." She added.

"We skipped school..."

"We stole..."

"We drank..." She gave him a weird look. "Yeah I thought I'd mention in twice... Since it was pretty much..." He explained. She chuckled along with him.

"You might as well mention everything twice." She said.

"It probalby would have been a lot easier if you were raised by someone who loved you..." He was whispering. He was tired, she knew. He only whispered when he was tired.

"Yeah, but also a lot less fun..." They looked at each other with the same grin they had on the day they broke into the school. And both of them slowly drifted of to sleep.

¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦

Hey. So, from now on there will be more flashbacks. Let me know if you like them... Em, next chapter will be added soon, I think. Tank you for reading my story and I'm going to head of to bed now, because it's 23:25 so bye!

Love Lily

They had succesfully washed away all of the memories... and it felt great...
